america

When a lot of people think of America (which stands for "the United States of America" in the English-speaking world), they think of sports.  Even with all the blogging statisticians out there, America's athletes earn worldwide attention.  Hollywood is another side of America, no less popular in real life than in the blogosphere.

Every 4th of July, Americans celebrate their independence from Great Britain.  A little more than 300 million people call the USA home as of 2009, about 5% of the world's total population.

American bloggers often drive gossip, technology, social trends and inspiration.  Although lacking the great history of French or Chinese cuisines, American food is popular worldwide.  Americana, public education, sci/tech innovation, free speech and a strong nonprofit sector are some strengths of America.
