1. Class is in session: With 1.5 million international students studying here every year, the U.S. is the world’s #1 campus. No other country even comes close.
2. Basically a continent: America is the third-largest country on Earth. It’s nearly the same size as all of Europe—just with way more interstate highways and fewer castles.
3. Olympic flex: No country has racked up more Olympic medals than the U.S. Ever. We don’t just play sports—we collect hardware.
4. Money talks: The U.S. has been the world’s largest economy for over 150 years. That’s one and a half centuries of chart-topping GDP swagger.
5. Tourist magnet: Roughly 80 million visitors a year can’t be wrong. The U.S. ranks third in global tourism behind France and Spain—and we’ve got pretty good croissant game.
6. Biggest office ever: The Pentagon isn’t just the nerve center of the U.S. military—it’s the largest office building in the world, with a mind-boggling 6.5 million square feet of space.

Happy birthday, America!
