United States

The United States is among the world's most diverse nations, a country of immigrants with white, Hispanic, Black, Asian, and Native American populations and rapidly growing multiracial and immigrant communities. English is the common language, with Spanish widely spoken.

Religious life is varied and historically Christian (Protestant and Catholic), with significant Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and other communities and a growing share of the non-religious.

Society

The United States has high incomes and world-leading universities and innovation, but also notable inequality and gaps in healthcare access, with population growth sustained largely by immigration.
