The United States is the 3rd largest country in the world in terms of both, the land area and 
population. Washington D.C. is the capital district of the nation, while New York City is the 
largest city. For administrative purposes, the United States is divided into 
50 states
; each of 
which shares sovereignty with the federal government. 
Political Division of the United States of America 
Of the 50 federal states, which form the United States, 48 are contiguous states. The 2 exceptions 
are Alaska and Hawaii, which lie to the northwest of the continent and in the mid-Pacific, 
respectively. Alaska is the largest state in terms of area, while California has the distinction of 
being the most populous state in the US. 
The first thirteen states of the United States were constituted following the rebellion of the 
thirteen colonies in 1776. Since then, the US Congress has exercised its power to add several new 
states to the Union; the last of which was the state of Hawaii. (The US Supreme court considers 
secession unconstitutional; even though there is no explicit mention of the same in the 
Constitution.) The possibility of adding new states to the Union cannot be ruled out. Of the few 
names that are being discussed, Puerto Rico is most likely to become the 51st state of America. 
As of now though, the number of states in USA is 50 -- and not 48, 49 or 51 as many people 
believe.
