The United States lacks the historical places and cultural antiquities that Europe is proud of. So Americans located their national identity in wonders of nature. North America has plenty of unique scenic landscapes to see and just a few cities worth to visit. In the USA big is always beautiful, Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Mammoth Cave to name just a few.
United States of America is composed of not only 50 states, a federal district of Columbia, but also of five self-governing territories, and various possessions mainly in the Pacific.
