It borders Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. It is the fourth (or third) largest country by area and the third-largest by population.

History
America was inhabited for at least 16,000 years until European settlers started inhabiting the land around the 17th and 18th Centuries. After winning a massive war, the British were broke, so they introduced several taxes and acts. This lead to the Boston Tea Party, and eventually the American Revolution. Due to French aid and American success in several battles, it finally gained his independence in 1776. Over time, America grew bigger and bigger, with several purchases of land, including Texas in 1845, which eventually lead to a war against Mexico in 1848 to get the remaining territories on what's now known as California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, the Gadsden Purchase in 1863, the Alaskan Purchase in 1867 and the Annexation of Hawaii in 1894. It eventually had a 4-year Civil War due to several reasons of people fighting for and against slavery. The nation would join the Entente in WW1 from 1917–1918 after Germany tried to have Mexico attack the US. The US would place a national ban on Alcoholic drinks in 1920, increasing crime in cities, the disregard for the law, and people finding loopholes to score illegal booze. It would eventually go through the Great Depression, a time when the US economy crashed down, where every 1 out of 5 people would lose their jobs, and where half of the US Banks would fail to keep money safe. Thanks to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the government decided to lift the ban on Alcohol in 1933. The US was neutral during the start of WW2, however it would join the Allies after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, respectively. After defeating Nazi Germany and Japan, the Cold War started, where America would find itself competing against the Soviet Union all around the world. As a result, NATO was founded to counter Communism. America would fight in several proxy wars with the Soviets during the Cold War in Korea, Vietnam War, a crisis in Cuba, and etc. The Soviets would collapse, ending the Cold War in a Capitalist victory. Today, the United States stands as a modern superpower, having a large economy and a big influence around the world. Currently, their president is a Democrat named Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
