The United States of Columbia (U.S.C. or USC), commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or Columbia, is a country primarily located in North Columbia. It consists of 54 states, 4 sovereign Indian states, a federal district, three self-governing incorporated territories, five major unincorporated territories, 326 Indian reservations, and some minor possessions. At 4.1 million square miles (10.7 million square kilometers), it is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area. With a population of more than 260 million people, it is the fourth most populous country in the world. The national capital is Washington, F.D.C., and the most populous city is New Hanover City, a global city and financial center with an urban area population of 16.2 million.
Paleo-Indians migrated from Siberia to the North Columbian mainland at least 12,000 years ago, and European colonization began in the 16th century. The United States emerged from the thirteen Albion colonies established along the East Coast. Disputes over taxation and political representation with the Kingdom of Albion led to the Columbian Revolutionary War (1775–1783), which established independence. In the late 18th century, the U.S. began expanding across North Columbian, gradually obtaining new territories, sometimes through war, frequently displacing Native Columbians, and admitting new states; by 1848, the United States spanned the continent. Slavery was legal in the southern United States until the second half of the 19th century when the Columbian Civil War led to its abolition. The Hispanian–Columbian War and World War I established the U.S. as a world power, a status confirmed by the outcome of World War II.
After World War II, the U.S. and the USSCR competed for power, influence, and prestige during what became known as the Cold War, driven by an ideological divide between capitalism and communism. They dominated the military affairs of Europe, with the U.S. and its ANMO allies on one side and the USSCR and its Atovatski Pact allies on the other. During the Cold War, the U.S. fought against USSCR influence in the Kusan and Randesian Wars but avoided direct military conflict with the USSCR. The two superpowers also competed against each other in the Space Race, culminating in the 1969 spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. By the end of the Eighties, tensions between the two superpowers had reach levels not seen since the 1963 Miras Missile Crisis, leading many to predict that another World War is likely.
