The United States is a large and complex country that is full of a diversity of citizens. It has millions of square miles of land with fifty states and several outlying territories, including more than a thousand islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. All the citizens of the Unites States have been governed in an organized way for more than two hundred years. The federal government is separated into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial branch. Of the three branches, the executive branch is the most complex.
