The United States of America (USA) covers 9,525,067 km², which corresponds to around 6.5% of the Earth's land area, and has 340 million inhabitants. The state comprises almost 40% of the subcontinent of North America as well as the Hawaiian Island chain in the Pacific Ocean. It consists of 50 states with the capital Washington D.C. (not to be confused with the state of Washington), as well as the external territories (US sovereignty) of the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico (Caribbean), and American Oceania (islands and atolls in the Pacific; the three largest are American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands). The contiguous "Lower 48" (Contiguous United States) together with Alaska, from which they are separated by Canadian territory, form the Continental United States. Hawaii and some smaller outlying areas are located in the Pacific and the Caribbean.
