Just that a state.  There are atleast 2 states for each location in the Continental (USA). i.e. there is the United States (a Corporation of the District of Columbia) and then the United States of America, representing the Republic that was formed by our constitution.

Actually, everyone, there are only 45 STATES in the United States. The other 5 are Commonwealths. They have different Constitutions and their governments work slightly different. I do not remember all 5 Commonwealths, but Massecheusetts and Virginia are two of them. \n\nTo call them states does make it easier, though.

It has very much to do with how the United States was formed - from small units to a larger country instead of the conventional way where a nation is split into multiple provinces. This division of a nation into a central and local government is known as FEDERALISM.\n\nTake China for example, which uses provinces. The nation was united under emperor Qin Shi Huang and divided into multiple provinces, in order to more efficiently govern the nation. Here, the central government did the dividing, and hence kept as much power as possible to themselves.\n\nIn contrast, the United States (the name itself is suggestive) upon its formation consisted of 13 colonies, which united under a common cause to achieve independence. None of these states wanted to give up their power, contributing to the failure of the first union under the Articles of Confederation.\n\nThis was finally solved under the Constitution, which we continue to live under today. The basic model, however, persists, where the states have their own sphere of power that the central government (often misleadingly called the "federal government") cannot infringe upon. This does not exist under the province system where the central government is supreme in all matters.

Canada was born in 1867; created by "The British North America Act," a law enacted by the British Parliament. The Act federated the British colonies of northern North America into a country consisting of four provinces, with two levels of government, federal and provincial. Under the provisions of the Act, both levels have their respective responsibilities and powers clearly defined.

Now that is a question that's somewhat difficult to answer, as there is no one right answer. \n\n Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193 or 194 independent countries in the world today. \n\n The United Nations has 192 members (including Montenegro and Serbia - the two newest nations) but that number does not include the Vatican, an independent nation. \n\n The US State Department recognises 193 independent countries around the world. but that list of countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America. As an example, it does not include Taiwan as China claims that Taiwan (the ROC) is simply a province of China. \n\n The latest World Almanacs use 193 countries, which is probably the best answer, but what about Palestine? Greenland? Western Sahara? Chechnya? Tibet ? Cabinda?\n\nThe political world is constantly changing and the definition of a country is difficult . If so what about Somalia? \n\nAs for the richest country it is the same scenario, depending on which criteria you are using the positions seem to change also . But I will say the USA is because even those countries with oil they still want the USA to come and buy it otherwise they will starve . If donations are wanted in this world everyone looks at the USA first . Same as military, Same as tourism etc
