HGY GM The United States is a fascinating place.

With landscapes as varied as its people and a vibrant history full of the very best and some of the very worst, the country is far from boring.

In 1790, Washington D.C. was not where all the political action was. New York City was actually the nation’s capital when George Washington became the country’s famous first president. Washington, D.C., nestled between Virginia and Maryland, was created as the capital in 1790 following a meeting between Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton conceded to Jefferson, a Virginian, for the location of the capital, and in turn, Jefferson agreed with Hamilton's proposal for the federal government to take the states' debt following the Revolutionary War—a quid pro quo.

Who knew? Somebody, surely, but not us, at least prior to researching this article. The State of Nevada is rife with protected wildlife areas, forests, national parks, and monuments, all of which are owned and run by the US federal government. Notably, Area 51, a classified stretch of land owned by the US government, is in Nevada. There is so much the government owns that it adds up to about 80% of the entire state, if you can believe it.

The US does not always rank as number one in the world when mentioning the globe’s richest countries. This is because countries may be ranked according to their GDP per capita, so the wealth of a country divided by its population. When it comes to pure production power, however, and specifically in reference to gross domestic product, the US comes in first.

There were many inventions and discoveries leading up to what today we call “the internet." Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s J.C.R. Licklider made popular the idea of having an “intergalactic network” of computers in the 1960s. After this came the ARPANET, Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, the first usable prototype for the internet. Finally, in 1990, Tim Berners-Lee of MIT invented the World Wide Web, which is not actually the internet itself but rather the most common way to access the internet. And the rest is history (or rather, the future), and it all started in the US.

Many might say English and even Spanish are the official languages of the US, but the country actually has none. Records indicate the Founding Fathers did not see a need for one. English was dominant at the time of Confederation, and so it needed no special protection. In addition to this, other languages were also spoken widely, and there was no need to risk offending anyone.

Strange but true, the official flag of the United States was designed by Robert G. Heft in 1958 while Heft was a junior in high school. Surprisingly, he only got a B- as a grade. Heft’s teacher, Stanley Pratt, promised his student he would raise his grade if the US Congress accepted his design. Guess what happened! Bring on the top marks.
