The USA is a democratic country in which people’s rights are adhered to as stated in the constitution. Mixed reactions are still evident arising from the election of the current USA president. Most people view President Donald to be a president without personality and this has always raised issues in his political ability to govern the nation (Simmons, Beth and Zachary 176). Historically, the USA has only enjoyed peace for 21 years since when it was started.

Analytical profile
According to the 2013 rating on Economic Freedom, USA was ranked at the 20th position. The USA still has a lot of work to do regarding the factors considered in economic freedom rating including rule of law, rights to property, tax and regulation. The rule of law used by the country puts a lot of restriction on wealth ownership in the country which limits economic freedom. Similarly, the tax imposed on properties by the government is too high. Increase in population is one of the major challenges that affect the economy of the United States of America. However, to counterattack the challenge, the government has implement laws governing the number of births per household to regulate population the growth in the country (Simmons, Beth, and Zachary 184). The relationship existing between Canada and the United States of America is characterized by the longest international border they share. Similarly, the two countries have a very extensive defence arrangement compared to other countries. Some of the largest companies in the USA include Walmart which is headquartered at Bentonville, Apple Inc whose headquarter is located in Cupertino California and Hexxon Mobile headquartered at Irving, Texas.
