The United States is made up of 50 States. Capital cities in America are less important than in Europe. They are created to serve limited political functions, not to be the center of social life. New York is the biggest city in America, with seven million people . About 40% of the population is foreign-born. Although it's not the capital it has always been the cultural centre of the whole country. New York is also famous for its skyscrapers. The heart of New York is Manhattan Island. The Statue of Liberty stands in the harbor of New York. A gift from France, she is a strong woman and holds up the torch of freedom. Washington, DC is the capital of the USA.

Recent works have reduced the width of the roads and closed the northern side of the square to traffic. Nelson's Column is in the centre of the square,surrounded by fountains designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1939 (replacing two earlier fountains of Peterhead granite, now at the Wascana Centre and Confederation Park in Canada) and four huge bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer; the metal used is said to have been recycled from the cannon of the French fleet. The column is topped by a statue of Horatio Nelson, the admiral who commanded the British Fleet at Trafalgar. The fountains are memorials to Lord Jellicoe (western side) and Lord Beatty (eastern side), Jellicoe being the Senior Officer.[2] On the north side of the square is the National Gallery and to its east St Martin-in-the-Fields church. The square adjoins The Mall via Admiralty Arch to the southwest. To the south is Whitehall, to the east Strand and South Africa House, to the north Charing Cross Road and on
