The United States of America , also known as the United States , the U.S. , the U.S.A. , the U.S. of A , the States , and America , is a country in North America . A federal republic , the United States shares land borders with Canada and Mexico , and extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean . Its capital is Washington, D.C.
The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by Native Americans . After 16th-century European exploration and settlement , the English established new colonies, and gained control of others, in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776 , at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence ; in 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states , one federal district, and a number of overseas territories.
At over 3.7 million square mile s (over 9.1 million km² ), the U.S. is the third largest country by area. It is also the world's third most populous nation , with nearly 300 million people.
