Well America, actually has a population of 280 MILLION!!!!!!\nInnocent Americans die everyday by GUNS- which they see as \n215 American Adults- 223 MILLION GUNS!! (as of 2004).\nHowever I cannot explain why there is so many serial killers in certain places of America.

"American FactFinder" (see the link below) is a service of the U.S. Census Bureau. Visitors to that site can view all kinds of information about just about any city or town in the country, including population, economics, housing, etc. You can also check out the latest estimate of the US population there - as of the moment I'm writing this, the estimated population of the United States is 298,315,058.\n\n(Look for the QuickFacts page for major cities - most of what you're looking for would probably be easily found there)\n\nAnother good site, but non-government affiliated is ePodunk, which offers profiles of some 46,000 cities, villages and communities across the US.\n\nThere are actually quite a few other, similar sites - but I think you'll find what you're looking for at one of these. \n\nHope it helps!

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.

You may know that we have 50 states in the U.S.  Washington, D.C., is of course our capital city.  You are right that the "D.C." stands for District of Columbia.  However, the two - "Washington" and "District of Columbia" - are the same thing, geographically.\n\nThere are no other "districts" - everyplace else is a state.\n\nNot a great answer, I know, but something Americans (I hope) understand.  Hard to explain to a non-American.\n\nTry a couple of websites:\nwww.washington.org (tourism website)\nwww.dc.gov (local city government website)

Yes, there are alot of small towns here, some dont even make the maps. Especially in South Louisiana where the French (Cajuns) first settled. South Louisiana is a very unique part of our country, there isn't any place like it.

You're going to need a big map.  There are 50 states, but 435 Congressional districts...To be fair, in some states (Alaska, South Dakota, for example) the entire state is one congressional district.  But just try drawing 54 districts into California...
