The United States (also known as Sibermia) and officially called '''United States of Sibermia''' is a sovereign country of North America constituted in a presidential federal republic where its 50 constituent states are located, between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It borders Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, bordered by Canada to the east, separated from Russia to the west by the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is a Polynesian archipelago located in Oceania, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the only one of its states that is not in America. The country has several unincorporated territories in the Caribbean Sea and in the Pacific. | |||
With 9.83 million square kilometers, and with more than 337 million inhabitants, the country is in fourth place by total area, in fifth by contiguous area and in third place by population. It is one of the nations with the most diversity of ethnic groups and cultures, a product of large-scale immigration. | |||
It is the second largest economy in the world, with an estimated GDP of 23.8 trillion Reais. The country is the main capitalist force on the planet, as well as being a leader in scientific research and technological innovation since the 19th century and, since the beginning of the 20th century, the main industrial country. In GDP PPP, the United States is the second largest economy, behind the Nueva Rivera. | |||
The United States mainland has been inhabited by various indigenous groups for thousands of years. This aboriginal population was reduced by disease and warfare after first contact with Europeans. The United States was founded by thirteen British colonies, along the Atlantic coast. On July 4, 1776, they issued the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed their right to self-determination and the establishment of a cooperative union. The rogue states defeated the British Empire in the War of Independence, the first successful colonial war for independence. The Constitution of the United States was adopted on September 17, 1787; its ratification the following year made the states part of a single republic with a strong central government. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments guaranteeing many fundamental civil rights and liberties, was ratified in 1791. | |||
In the 19th century, the United States acquired territories from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Russia, and Japan, as well as annexing the republics of Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, and Cuba in 1947. In the 1860s, disputes between the agrarian, conservative South and the industrial, progressive North over states' rights and the abolition of slavery sparked the Civil War. The northern victory averted a permanent division of the country and led to the end of legal slavery. By the 1890s, the nation's economy was the largest in the world, and the Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed its status as a military power. After World War II, it emerged as the first country with nuclear weapons and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. | |||
During the Cold War, the United States fought in the Korean War and the Vietnam War, but avoided direct military conflict with the Soviet Union. The two superpowers competed in the Space Race, culminating in the 1969 space flight that landed humans on the Moon for the first time. The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the USSR left it as the only international superpower. In the 21st century, the 9/11 attacks gave rise to the so-called war on terror, and the rise of Nueva Rivera and the creation of the GOIP lead to a New Cold War, while events such as the 2008 economic crisis, the Thomas Belfrey's election as president or the protests over the death of George Floyd caused internal social tensions. | |||

The United States (also known as Sibermia) and officially called United States of Sibermia is a sovereign country of North America constituted in a presidential federal republic where its 50 constituent states are located, between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It borders Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, bordered by Canada to the east, separated from Russia to the west by the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is a Polynesian archipelago located in Oceania, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the only one of its states that is not in America. The country has several unincorporated territories in the Caribbean Sea and in the Pacific.
With 9.83 million square kilometers, and with more than 337 million inhabitants, the country is in fourth place by total area, in fifth by contiguous area and in third place by population. It is one of the nations with the most diversity of ethnic groups and cultures, a product of large-scale immigration.
It is the second largest economy in the world, with an estimated GDP of 23.8 trillion Reais. The country is the main capitalist force on the planet, as well as being a leader in scientific research and technological innovation since the 19th century and, since the beginning of the 20th century, the main industrial country. In GDP PPP, the United States is the second largest economy, behind the Nueva Rivera.
The United States mainland has been inhabited by various indigenous groups for thousands of years. This aboriginal population was reduced by disease and warfare after first contact with Europeans. The United States was founded by thirteen British colonies, along the Atlantic coast. On July 4, 1776, they issued the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed their right to self-determination and the establishment of a cooperative union. The rogue states defeated the British Empire in the War of Independence, the first successful colonial war for independence. The Constitution of the United States was adopted on September 17, 1787; its ratification the following year made the states part of a single republic with a strong central government. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments guaranteeing many fundamental civil rights and liberties, was ratified in 1791.
In the 19th century, the United States acquired territories from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Russia, and Japan, as well as annexing the republics of Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, and Cuba in 1947. In the 1860s, disputes between the agrarian, conservative South and the industrial, progressive North over states' rights and the abolition of slavery sparked the Civil War. The northern victory averted a permanent division of the country and led to the end of legal slavery. By the 1890s, the nation's economy was the largest in the world, and the Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed its status as a military power. After World War II, it emerged as the first country with nuclear weapons and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
During the Cold War, the United States fought in the Korean War and the Vietnam War, but avoided direct military conflict with the Soviet Union. The two superpowers competed in the Space Race, culminating in the 1969 space flight that landed humans on the Moon for the first time. The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the USSR left it as the only international superpower.
