The Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Canada to the north define the boundaries of the United States. 


After China, Canada, and Russia in terms of area, the United States is the fourth largest nation in the world, according to a summary from the Britannica website. The United States consists of fifty states.


On the US mainland are 48 states in all.  Alaska and Hawaii are the US states that are isolated from the main continent in the meantime.
