United States

The United States of America (U.S.A. or USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America, is a country situated in North America. It shares its borders with Canada and  Mexico and has access to the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean Sea.

The US is one of the most popular characters in CountryHumans, along with their half-siblings Canada,  Australia, and  New Zealand.

Appearance
The United States, regardless of gender is usually depicted with a black-shirt with the acronym "NATO" in white, all caps adorned with blue or black jeans and every shade in-between to match their canton or their shirt with tennis shoes sometimes from famous brands such as Nike, Adidas, Converse, and Vans usually in white, blue, red, or black colors. Another quite popular version of him is him with the outfit of a Cowboy, with a Cowboy hat, Sheriff Star pinned on their blue vest sometimes with intricate designed stitched in on top of dress shirt, sometimes a plaid one ,a big belt buckle usually in silver or gold, cow patterned pants with a opening near their torso revealing jeans, a bandanna usually red and sometimes with swirls, and cowboy boots. A rope hangs from their side and or a gun. Sometimes a layer of leather is added on their shoulders and and is usually accompanied with shingles. Another quite common outfit of theirs which is rising in the fandom is America with a green bomber jacket with faux fur lining the hoodie with a black skin-tight latex long shirt with ripped jeans sometimes with pins and stitched on badges added on. Either way he always has sunglasses (frequently tapped on if he has a ball head). The frequent glasses has also made some people make America have interesting eyes, such as T.tazy's AU on Instagram where America has pure black eyes due to them not having any culture. If they are drawn with hair it's usually blonde or correlating with their flag.

Personality
Once upon a time, America just wanted freedom, that's all he ever wanted. They had a strong sense of justice and even if it was a bit wonky, it was a different era, America had always wanted to show everyone that he was a star a beacon of hope and freedom. And having a strong moral drive, he beat the worlds best military at the time with a bunch of poorly trained citizens. And even with their spats they love their family, Canada, Australia, New Zealand? They love them to bits. Their early successes only drove them more and made them believe he can and could be power, a super power. And their aspiration to be a super power made them step on lots of people, which they later wish they hadn't. Over time, America changed, he was power hungry.

Now... America, is a bit of a jerk, they're egotistical and very proud of their accomplishments. The moon? World War II? The First Nuke? He's got lots of trophies and badges under his belt and has one of the best military records in a very short amount of time and he won't shut up about it. Material items are very important to them and they'll flaunt their expensive things. They can come off rude, loud, and obnoxious, and making lots of offensive jokes doesn't help his image either. But some say he's sensitive due to his culture like most of Latin America. They like being in charge ever since he gained Independence, unless it's him and he's gone through lots of fights between countries because of it and still struggles to it this day. They think they have to be in control, they believe they have to maintain a world order or else everything will fall apart he cares a lot about what other countries think of him and even if they call them "first-world", "Europooreans", which can come off a bit idiotic. He's scared, he doesn't know what to do as a sole super power, and with China on the rise, which most of the Western World is on edge on he doesn't know what to do. He's slowly falling apart as two voices which divide him more and more everyday and every choice they make they doubt. Yet he stays optimistic still doing the same old same old. But a voice, wants him to go back to do his own thing

Flag meaning
There are 13 red and white stripes in the flag of the USA. These 13 stripes (seven red and six white ones) represent the former Thirteen Colonies. There are 50 stars in the blue rectangle on the top left of the flag. These stars represent the 50 federal states. This has been the official flag since Hawaii became a member of the union on 21 August 1959.

The colors red, white, and blue did not have meanings for when it was adopted in 1777. However, the colors in the Great Seal did have specific meanings. Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, reporting to Congress on the Seal, stated:

"'The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valor, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.' "

History
America was first known as "New England" (depending on your head-canon, America and New England are different characters).

The American Revolution
The American colonials proclaimed "No taxation without representation." starting with the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. They rejected the authority of the British Parliament to tax them because they had no representatives in that governing body. Protests steadily escalated to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the burning of the Gaspee in Rhode Island in 1772, followed by the Boston Tea Party in December 1773. The British responded by closing Boston Harbor and enacting a series of punitive laws that effectively rescinded Massachusetts Bay Colony's rights of self-government. The other colonies rallied behind Massachusetts, and a group of American Patriot leaders set up their government in late 1774 at the Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance of Britain; other colonists retained their allegiance to the Crown and were known as Loyalists or Tories.

Tensions erupted into a battle between Patriot militia and British regulars when King George's redcoats attempted to destroy Colonial military supplies at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The conflict then developed into a war, during which the Patriots (and later their French allies) fought the British and Loyalists in what became known as the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). Each of the thirteen colonies formed a Provincial Congress which assumed power from the former colonial governments, suppressed Loyalism, and recruited a Continental Army led by General George Washington. The Continental Congress declared King George a tyrant who trampled the colonists' rights as Englishmen, and they announced the colonies free and independent states on July 2, 1776. The Patriot leadership professed the political philosophies of liberalism and republicanism to reject monarchy and aristocracy, and they proclaimed that all men are created equal.

The Continental Army forced the redcoats out of Boston in March 1776, but that summer, The British captured New York City and its strategic harbor, which they held for the duration of The War. The Royal Navy blockaded ports and captured other cities for brief periods, but they failed to destroy Washington's forces. The Patriots attempted to invade Canada during the winter of 1775–76 without success, but they captured a British army at the Battle of Saratoga in October 1777. France entered The War as an ally of the United States with a large army and navy. The war then moved to the Southern states, where Charles Cornwallis captured an army at Charleston, South Carolina, in early 1780, but he failed to enlist enough volunteers from Loyalist civilians to take effective control of the territory. Finally, a combined American and French force captured a second British army at Yorktown in the fall of 1781, effectively ending the war. The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783, formally ending the conflict and confirming the new nation's complete separation from the British Empire. The United States took possession of nearly all the territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Great Lakes, with the British retaining control of Canada and Spain taking Florida.

Among the significant results of the American Revolution was the creation of the United States Constitution, establishing a relatively strong federal national government that included an executive, a national judiciary, and a bicameral Congress representing states in the Senate and the population in the House of Representatives. The American Revolution also resulted in the migration of around 60,000 Loyalists to other British territories, especially British North America (Canada).

The American Civil War
In the 34 States in February 1861, seven Southern slave states were declared by partisans to have seceded from the country, and the Confederate States of America was organized in rebellion against the United States Constitutional government. The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional States of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from native secessionists fleeing Union authority, but without territory or population therein; these states were given full representation in the Confederate Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining slave states, Delaware and Maryland, were invited to join the Confederacy, but nothing substantial developed due to intervention by federal troops.

The Union and the Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years. Intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead, more than the number of United States military deaths in all other wars combined.

The war effectively ended April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. Confederate generals throughout the southern states followed suit, the last surrender on land occurring June 23. Much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially the transportation systems. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million black slaves were freed. During the Reconstruction era that followed the war, national unity was slowly restored, the national government expanded its power, and civil and political rights were granted to freed black slaves through amendments to the Constitution and federal legislation.

World War I
When the war broke out in 1914, the USA decided to be neutral, acknowledging that this war was conflicts between Old World powers that had nothing to do with them. The public opinion about the war was often divided as there were many migrants with ties to both sides. However, when the Germans sank Lusitania in 1915, a passenger ship with 159 Americans on board, the United States' view of the war began to change. It led to the death of 1,198 innocent passengers, including the American ones, so when the United States finally entered the war two years later (in 1917), the cry Remember Lusitania! was used in the recruitment posters and to unite the people against the German Empire.

In January 1917, the British got a secret telegram (known as Zimmerman Telegram) sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmerman to the German ambassador to Mexico. Where he proposed Mexico's alliance with Germany against the United States, promising them the possibility of acquiring Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The secret telegram was the last straw, as President Woodrow Wilson delivered a speech to Congress on April 2, 1917, asking them to declare war on Germany. He also said in his speech that the United States would go to war for Fighting For The Ultimate Peace Of The World. On April 6, 1917, the United States formally declared war over the German Empire.

The United States military in Europe was under the command of General John J. Pershing, and at first, he had a few trained troops to send to Europe, though, the Army was quickly built up by project as well as the volunteers. Near the end of the war, there were nearly 2 million American soldiers in France. Thanks to the arrival of the American forces at the right time. The course of the war was diverted in favor of the Allies. Both sides were exhausted and running out of soldiers, but the influx of new forces helped to boost the morale of the Allies and played a crucial role in defeating the German Empire.

After entering the war, President Wilson issued his fourteen famous points. These points were his plans for peace and the goals of the United States in entering the war. He was the only leader who publicly announced his goals in this war. His fourteen points were included in the founding of the League of Nations that he hoped would help to end the war in the future.

After defeating the German Empire, President Wilson pressed his fourteen points for the rest of Europe and the Allies to follow. He wanted all of Europe to recover quickly from the war, including the German Empire, after which both France and the United Kingdom differed and then put severe reparations over the German Empire in the Treaty of Versailles, the United States didn't sign it, but he established his own peace treaty with the German Empire.

World War II
At the beginning of the war, the United States didn't want a part of it but, on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor causing the United States to declare war shortly after the declaration of war on Japan. The Third Reich followed suit. On June 6, 1944, is when operation overlord started, also known as D-Day. It is the most significant landing in history, and the United States was a part of it. From December 16, 1944 - January 25, 1945, was the battle of the bulge a significant fight that the United States was a part of. In 1945, an atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 9, 3 days, later another Atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, putting an end to the war.

Oklahoma City bombing

The bomb was planted by Timothy McVeigh in a rented moving truck, and Terry Nichols, Who helped him build it. McVeigh was later arrested in a car pulled over by a sheriff for no license plate and arrested for possession of a weapon. Nichols was also arrested. McVeigh got a death sentence, and Nichols got a life sentence.

September 11, 2001
Warning, the following contains sensitive topics that are related to a major event.

On September 11, 2001, Which today is considered the most deadly terrorist attack in the twenty-first century, with more deaths, not only in the US but in the world. This incident is triggered by a terrorist organization, Al-Qaeda, for which Osama bin Laden takes responsibility. Two Boeing 767's hit the north tower (American Airlines Flight 11 Tail Number: N334AA), and the south tower (United Airlines Flight 175 Tail Number: N612UA), and two Boeing 757's were also hijacked. One hit the pentagon (American Airlines Flight 77 Tail Number: N644AA), and one was successfully retaken by the passengers (United Airlines Flight 93 Tail Number: N591UA).

Government
"The Constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches to make sure no individual or group will have too much power:
 * Legislative—Makes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and Senate)


 * Executive—Carries out laws (president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal agencies)

Each branch of government can change acts of the other branches: The Executive Branch consists of the President of the United States, the Vice President, and their cabinet. They are the branch that can create laws, which would pass to the Legislative Branch. The President is the head of state, the government, and the commander in chief for the United States Armed Forces, they have a maximum of two terms, which includes 4 years each. The Legislative Branch is the branch the gets to pass the laws coming from the Executive Branch, they also have the power to accept or deny the nominee to be the head of federal agencies, judges, or the Supreme Court, and has the power to declare war. The Judicial Branch is responsible to interpret laws and see if the law(s) violates the Constitution. They are made of the Supreme Court and many other federal courts, the Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and six associate justices. The Justices have no fixed term and can serve as long as they want until they either die, retire, or remove in other circumstances.
 * Judicial—Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and other courts)
 * The president can veto legislation created by Congress and nominates heads of federal agencies.
 * Congress confirms or rejects the president's nominees and can remove the president from office in exceptional circumstances.
 * The Justices of the Supreme Court, who can overturn unconstitutional laws, are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
 * This ability of each branch to respond to the actions of the other branches is called the system of checks and balances." 

Brazil
Brazil-United States relations have a long history, characterized by some moments of a remarkable convergence of interests but also by sporadic and critical divergences on sensitive international issues. The United States has increasingly regarded Brazil as a significant power, especially in its role as a stabilizing force and skillful interlocutor in Latin America. As a significant political and economic power, Brazil has traditionally preferred to cooperate with the United States on specific issues rather than seeking to develop an all-encompassing, privileged relationship with the United States.

China
The United States Department of State tries to maintain the interests of the Chinese public and its government. However, they try their best to get China to stop international law abuses to get into a compromise with the two. 1971 and 1979, the United States did not recognize the legitimacy of the PRC government and supported Taiwan. Public signs of relations with the PRC and the USA started around 1971, with the Ping-Pong diplomacy, where China's ping-pong team invited the U.S. ping-pong team. The United Nations would soon replace the ROC with the PRC within the same year. It wasn't until 1979 that the United States would stop officially recognizing Taiwan and support the One China Policy. However, relations within the unofficial level would still continue for the United States and Taiwan. Their ties would soon be shaken throughout the Belgrade Bombing (as an accident), with the United States apologizing for the mistake, but Chinese protesters dismissed the apology and vandalized American official property in China. Since 2000, the United States and China are starting normal trading relations, in 2006, China became the second-largest trading partner after Canada. China would also surpass Japan to become the biggest foreign creditor, which means the United States has to return the debt to China at some point.

United Kingdom
After the American Revolution had ended, Great Britain did establish relations with the United States. The relations broke when the War of 1812 came to be and declared war on the United Kingdom, but their diplomatic relations would soon be reestablished in 1815. The United States considers the United Kingdom as a close ally, ever since 1815, their bong only gets closer between these two. Visits are very common between these two.

Public Views
The People of the United States like the democracy in the nation, but a low percentage suggests that the majority of the people aren't satisfied enough with their democracy. Most Americans also oppose Presidents getting more power, as it is considered "too risky" to give them more power to solve the nation's domestic problems. About a third of the country knows that what president is currently serving can make a big difference in their personal lives, whether it be in a good or bad way. Many people have a favorable opinion towards local politics than national politics, as local politics can help certain problems within their area, and also have much more quality with the candidates than on the candidates for federal elections.[4]

Geography
The United States is composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million kilometer2), the United States is the world's third or fourth-largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles (10.1 million kilometer2).

Russia
A main core for the United States is that he is frequently shipped with Russia, where mainly is about a love-hate relationship between these two. In real life, Russia has a long history of homophobia, with no laws to protect homosexuals. As such, Russia is portrayed as a secret homosexual who is in love with America, which tries to deny his feelings. America is portrayed as openly gay towards Russia so he can get Russia to be with him, probably likely that the United States knew that Russia was/is gay. Otherwise, the opposition for the pairing comes from people shipping the countries to another country or Russian conservatives, who expressed distaste towards the pairing. Current Russian-American relations are very sour, especially with the governments. The ship's name is RusAme. (Of course you don't need to ship this..)

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is pretty much the father of the USA. In most Countryhumans comics, the USA is depicted detesting his father. This is mainly based upon the idea that the USA is the "rebellious child" due to his advocacy for independence when he was younger.

But, despite the USA's defiant behavior, UK still loves him as a son and as an ally, and overall, they are close. I mean, they're family after all. It's unconditional. They even have an unofficial term for their relationship for being a close ally, Special Relationship.

Spain
Spain is the USA's mother. He enjoys pestering her and calling her 'Mexico' which is another Spanish-speaking country and another one of her children. She dislikes this, but since she is his mother, they are close and she loves him as a son. Spain founded St. Augustine, Florida; the first oldest city in the United States. Sometimes, France and Spain compare the personality of the United States with that of England in a derogatory tone. However, both countries celebrate Independence Day with the United States due to the military support granted by both countries. Spain is also the biological mother of Alabama, Florida, Puerto Rico (with UK), and Alaska (with Russia). Today, the relations between the United States and Spain are one of the firmest, most stable, and optimal in the Western world. Spain is a fan of George Washington. The United States usually remembers Spain whenever he looks at a dollar bill. The columns that appear in the dollar symbol are the same as the ones in the shield of Spain.

France
France is the USA's stepmother. Another guardian. Sometimes even considered biological mother but, in reality, France is the biological mother of Louisiana, Maine, and Mississippi (with UK). However, even though he is not her actual son, she appears to care for him. France and the USA enjoy teaming up and doing things that the USA' s father does not seem to enjoy, which is how they tend to bond. France constantly has to deal with her stepson's French surrender jokes and has hit him with a history book (usually to the head/face) on multiple occasions because of the USA's humor. Her, it is evident that she sees the UK as frenemy rather than a direct enemy. He seems to see France as some sort of parent, possibly as some sort of motherly figure. They seem to enjoy each other's company. In addition, the USA usually sees France as a mother figure (Probably, because the United States acquired the republican ideals of France).

Australia
USA's nickname for Australia: "Hell-Spider Man"

Canada
Canada is the USA's brother, although very different from the USA. He's much more open-minded, although very very very timid and weak. Canada relies on his brother to keep safe (even though he's older than him) and tends to follow the USA around like a terrified puppy. This does get on USA's nerves, but most of the time he's happy to look after his brother. (If anyone tries to hurt Canada they face the wrath of USA.) In the real world, the relations of the two countries are one of the firmest, their similar culture is a major factor in guaranteeing that the two have a very stable relationship.

Germany
"I’m glad Germany is now clean from his mess and is ready to bring democracy to the table!"

- United States’ thoughts on Germany

Brazil
"I still for the day that Brazil hands me some trees"

Brazil is portrayed in the fandom as a friend and ally towards the United States.

Japan
Japan and America shared tense relations in the past. This is because, during the times of the Japanese Empire, America had atomic bombed Japan. They try to forget the brutality of it, and nowadays, they're better of as friends. The USA thinks of Japan's culture very highly.
