Originally part of the British Empire, the Thirteen Colonies declared independence in 1776, later to establish a federation between them. From their original claims, the US expanded to purchase Louisiana from France in 1804 (minus New Orleans), annex Upper Canada in 1845, annex several islands in the Caribbean during the later-half of the 19th century, and annexing Panama in the early 1900s.
After World War II, the United States emerged as one of the predominant superpowers (along with the Soviet Union). Today, the US has one of the largest economies and armed forces of the world.
As of today, the United States has a population of 221.3 million, ranking at third in world population, behind only India and China. By area, the United States' territory comprises roughly a third of continental North America, as well as multiple unincorporated territories in the Caribbean and South Pacific. The United States has been described "the melting pot of the world", possessing a highly diverse, multi-ethnic culture with European, African, Asian, Hispanic, and indigenous influences. The geography and climate of the United States is also extremely diverse, and it is home to a wide variety of wildlife. The United States has the world's largest national economy and being the world's foremost economic and military power, a prominent political and cultural force, and a leader in scientific research and technological innovation. The United States is a federation made up of 52 states spanning from the continental 46 to the four in the Caribbean Sea.

Political Parties
The United States is considered a multiparty democracy with many different parties contesting federal, state, and local elections. Fourteen national parties have representation in the Continental Congress, specifically in the House of Representatives. The centre-right Republican Party and centre-left Federalist Party are the largest of the national parties and typically carry the most seats in all U.S. federal elections. The Republicans and Democrats also are the most likely to win executive elections, such as elections for U.S. President, although other parties have won in the past.
Several political parties have risen which advocate for a certain group or region within the country. The largest of these parties is the Hispanic-oriented Unión Demócrata Cristiana which promotes Christian democracy in the United States, the Black Defense Affiliation and Black Panther Party, which focuses issues pertaining to African Americans with the former concerned with Afro-Americans in Hispaniola, Benirdoba and the American South and the latter appealing to Afro-Americans in Northern and Midwestern urban areas, and the Amerindian National Congress for Native Americans outside the States of Aboriginals. The Agriculture Party, Technology Alliance are all regional political parties. The God's Values Party pushes policies which are Evangelical in nature, but does not explicitly endorse one particular religion.
In recent years, several new political parties with stronger partisan ideologies have formed or grown in size in the United States. This includes the Columbia First Party led by Donald Trump, the Constitution Party led by , the Libertarian Party led by Sarah Palin and the Socialist Party led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among others. At the same time, the Progressive-Green Party which advocates left-wing political ideologies has grown in size since 2010. Political pundits have noted that the rise of such parties is due to the political polarization slowly occurring across the United States.
