I'm sure a simple Google search would reveal plenty of information. Although a fact is that the US is pretty much similar to any other developed or semi-developed-and-democratic country.

actully I need facts that are available from the net. Something uniqe about the culture, places etc.

Maybe you could write about the american football they have or where you live (if you live in america)

[delivi]

I live in India.

[beastjordan]

oh well erm i dunno maybe you can find a website which has alot of info

[CrazyRob]

if you want real info on the us try looking on the cia fact files they provide detials for every country in the world even though i do not live in the us the cia factbook will tell you all you need to know hopefully.

here is the link it will take you to the US page directly

https://www.cia.gov/...ok/geos/us.html

Sorry, when I read the title, I was thinking "Us" was like you and I, rather than the United States... I was wondering how I could tell you about "us" lol...

Anyway, I'm not going to be of much help, since I'm not an American either. Sorry

What kind of facts are you looking for? The fact that US has 50 states? The fact that colors of the flag are Red, White and Blue which stands for valor, purity and justice, respectively. The US flag is also called The Stars and Stripes? There's a minimum age limit to be a president? Only the born citizen can become the president of US? Anyone can be a citizen of US as long as one goes through the naturalization process? The fact that Republicans use elephant and Democrats use donkey as their party's symbol...? Or how about the death total for American Civil War number was still greater than World War I, Korean conflict, Vietnam conflict and Persian Gulf war COMBINED?

The American passtime is referred to baseball, hotdog, drive in movie theatre, cotton candy...etc. The Statue of Liberty was donated and shipped from France and assembled when they arrived just outside of New York. Highways were originally desiged by the military for war strageties--i.e. fast and direct ways to trasport military equipments--and now it's used by civilians to travel. Internet was also originally designed by US military and government to use it as secure and live exchange of battle information...

Your question is too general. Are you asking for facts about US general or government specific or US culture and custom in areas general or specific?

i hate bush.
