The United States of America
Government Type: Constitution-based federal republic; strong democratic tradition
Head of State: President Grover Cleveland elected in 1893
Governing Body: Congress, a bicameral assembly
Capital: Washington, District of Columbia
Population: 62,622,250
Colonies: Hawaiian Islands, Kingman Reef, Jarvis Island, Baker Island, Howland Island, Midway Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
In 1865, the greatest trauma in the history of the young Union, the Civil War occurred. After its conclusion, the task of rebuilding the country dominated the political, social and economic landscape of the healing nation. The new peace brought about a second industrial revolution that moved the American economy into a position of dominance, up with the great powers of Europe. The last three decades allowed American corporations to become powerful institutions, not only in business, but also a political force, as shown in recent elections. The President, Grover Cleveland, added Hawaii to the growing list of American conquests, and built up the United States navy to rival the British.
