Israel
The State of Israel is divided into six main administrative districts , known as mehozot ( מחוזות ; singular : mahoz ) -- Center , Haifa , Jerusalem , North , South , and Tel Aviv districts , as well as the Judea and Samaria Area in the West Bank . All of the Judea and Samaria Area and parts of the Jerusalem and Northern districts are not recognized internationally as part of Israel . Districts are further divided into fifteen sub-districts known as nafot ( נפות ; singular : nafa ) , which are themselves partitioned into fifty natural regions .
The Twelve Spies
They gave Moses this account , `` We went into the land to which you sent us , and it does flow with milk and honey ! Here is its fruit . But the people who live there are very powerful , and the cities are fortified and very large . We even saw descendants of Anak there . '' --
The Twelve Spies
Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said , `` We should go up and take possession of the land , for we can certainly do it . '' --
History of the Jews in Egypt
After the foundation of Israel in 1948 , and the subsequent 1948 Arab -- Israeli War , in which Egypt participated , difficulties multiplied for Egyptian Jews , who then numbered 75,000 . That year , bombings of Jewish areas killed 70 Jews and wounded nearly 200 , while riots claimed many more lives . During the Arab - Israeli war , the famous Cicurel department store near Cairo 's Opera Square was firebombed . The government helped with funds to rebuild it , but it was again burnt down in 1952 , and eventually passed into Egyptian control . As a result , many Egyptian Jews emigrated abroad . By 1950 , nearly 40 % of Egypt 's Jewish population had emigrated . About 14,000 of them went to Israel , and the rest to other countries .
Mexico City
Mexico City is home to the largest population of U.S. Americans living outside the United States . Current estimates are as high as 700,000 U.S. Americans living in Mexico City , while in 1999 the U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs estimated over 440,000 Americans lived in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area .
Bubble and squeak
The name bubble and squeak is used primarily in England ( for Scotland and Ireland see ' Similar dishes ' ) , and it may also be understood in parts of some other Commonwealth countries and the United States .
History of the United States Constitution
These `` radical Whigs '' were called the people `` out - of - doors . '' They distrusted not only royal authority , but any small , secretive group as being unrepublican . Crowds of men and women massed at the steps of rural Court Houses during market - militia - court days . Shays Rebellion is a famous example . Urban riots began by the out - of - doors rallies on the steps of an oppressive government official with speakers such as members of the Sons of Liberty holding forth in the `` people 's `` committees '' until some action was decided upon , including hanging his effigy outside a bedroom window , or looting and burning down the offending tyrant 's home .
Foreign trade of the United States
For countries like the United States , a large net external debt is created when the value of foreign assets ( debt and equity ) held by domestic residents is less than the value of domestic assets held by foreigners . In simple terms , as foreigners buy property in the US , this adds to the external debt . When this occurs in greater amounts than Americans buying property overseas , nations like the United States are said to be debtor nations , but this is not conventional debt like a loan obtained from a bank .

Founding Fathers of the United States
The great majority were born in the Thirteen Colonies . But at least nine were born outside :
First Nations
Within Canada , First Nations has come into general use for the indigenous peoples of the Americas . Individuals using the term outside Canada include U.S. tribes within the Pacific Northwest , as well as supporters of the Cascadian independence movement . The singular , commonly used on culturally politicized reserves , is the term First Nations person ( when gender - specific , First Nations man or First Nations woman ) . A more recent trend is for members of various nations to refer to themselves by their tribal or national identity only , e.g. , `` I 'm Haida '' , or `` We 're Kwantlens '' , in recognition of the distinctive First Nations .
United States
The United States is a federal republic of 50 states , a federal district , five territories and several uninhabited island possessions . The states and territories are the principal administrative districts in the country . These are divided into subdivisions of counties and independent cities . The District of Columbia is a federal district that contains the capital of the United States , Washington DC . The states and the District of Columbia choose the President of the United States . Each state has presidential electors equal to the number of their Representatives and Senators in Congress ; the District of Columbia has three ( because of the 23rd Amendment ) . Territories of the United States such as Puerto Rico do not have presidential electors , and so people in those territories can not vote for the president .
Lobbying in the United States
The term lobby has etymological roots in the physical structure of the British Parliament , in which there was an intermediary covered room outside the main hall . People pushing an agenda would try to meet with members of Parliament in this room , and they came to be known , by metonymy , as lobbyists , although one account in 1890 suggested that the application of the word `` lobby '' is American and that the term is not used as much in Britain .
Taxation in the United States
Foreign - Trade Zones are secure areas physically in the United States but legally outside the customs territory of the United States . Such zones are generally near ports of entry . They may be within the warehouse of an importer . Such zones are limited in scope and operation based on approval of the Foreign - Trade Zones Board . Goods in a Foreign - Trade Zone are not considered imported to the United States until they leave the Zone . Foreign goods may be used to manufacture other goods within the zone for export without payment of customs duties .
Bell pepper
The terms `` bell pepper '' ( US ) , `` pepper '' or `` sweet pepper '' ( UK ) , and `` capsicum '' ( Australia , India , New Zealand and Pakistan ) are often used for any of the large bell - shaped vegetables , regardless of their color . In British and Canadian English , the vegetable is simply referred to as a `` pepper '' , or additionally by color ( as in the term `` green pepper '' , for example ) , whereas in the United States and Malaysia , they are usually referred to as `` bell peppers '' . In the Midland region of the U.S. , bell peppers are sometimes called `` mangoes . '' Canadian English uses both `` bell pepper '' and `` pepper '' interchangeably .
Talk:Wifebeater (shirt)
I disagree that it is considered offensive in the US . It is the only name they go by . -- 65.25. 219.139 02 : 30 , 23 February 2006 ( UTC )
Society of the United States
The society of the United States is based on Western culture , and has been developing since long before the United States became a country with its own unique social and cultural characteristics such as dialect , music , arts , social habits , cuisine , folklore , etc . Today the United States of America is an ethnically and racially diverse country as a result of large - scale immigration from many different countries throughout its history .
Naming in the United States
There is no law restricting the use of diacritical marks informally and many parents get around the restrictions by doing so .
History of the United States Constitution
Even if there were to be western states , a House representation of 40,000 might be too small , too easy for the westerners . `` States '' had been declared out west already . They called themselves republics , and set up their own courts directly from the people without colonial charters . In Transylvania , Westsylvania , Franklin , and Vandalia , `` legislatures '' met with emissaries from British and Spanish Empires in violation of the Articles of Confederation , just as the sovereign states had done . In the Constitution as written , no majorities in Congress could break up the larger states without their consent .
Foreign trade of the United States
If the external debt represents foreign ownership of domestic assets , the result is that rental income , stock dividends , capital gains and other investment income is received by foreign investors , rather than by U.S. residents . On the other hand , when American debt is held by overseas investors , they receive interest and principal repayments . As the trade imbalance puts extra dollars in hands outside of the U.S. , these dollars may be used to invest in new assets ( foreign direct investment , such as new plants ) or be used to buy existing American assets such as stocks , real estate and bonds . With a mounting trade deficit , the income from these assets increasingly transfers overseas .
Yule log
The term `` Yule log '' is not the only term used to refer to the custom . It was commonly called a `` Yule Clog '' in north - east England , and it was also called the `` Yule Block '' in the Midlands and West Country and `` Gule Block '' in Lincolnshire . In Cornwall , the term `` Stock of the Mock '' was found .
United States
The United States has an established structure of foreign relations . It is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and New York City is home to the United Nations Headquarters . It is a member of the G7 , G20 , and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development . Almost all countries have embassies in Washington , D.C. , and many have consulates around the country . Likewise , nearly all nations host American diplomatic missions . However , Iran , North Korea , Bhutan , and the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) do not have formal diplomatic relations with the United States ( although the U.S. still maintains relations with Taiwan and supplies it with military equipment ) .
Oklahoma
In 2011 , U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data from 2005 -- 2009 indicated about 5 % of Oklahoma 's residents were born outside the United States . This is lower than the national figure ( about 12.5 % of U.S. residents were foreign - born ) .

California Gold Rush
While the treaty ending the Mexican -- American War obliged the United States to honor Mexican land grants , almost all the goldfields were outside those grants . Instead , the goldfields were primarily on `` public land '' , meaning land formally owned by the United States government . However , there were no legal rules yet in place , and no practical enforcement mechanisms .
Elections in the United States
A significant source of absentee ballots is the population of Americans living outside the United States . In 1986 Congress enacted the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ( UOCAVA ) . UOCAVA requires that the states and territories allow members of the United States Uniformed Services and merchant marine , their family members , and United States citizens residing outside the United States to register and vote absentee in elections for Federal offices . Though many states had pre-existing statutes in place UOCAVA made it mandatory and nationally uniform . `` Generally , all U.S. citizens 19 years or older who are or will be residing outside the United States during an election period are eligible to vote absentee in any election for Federal office . In addition , all members of the Uniformed Services , their family members and members of the Merchant Marine and their family members , who are U.S. citizens , may vote absentee in Federal , state and local elections . '' Absentee ballots from these voters can often be transmitted private delivery services , fax , or email .
Cluedo
The North American versions of Clue also replace the character `` Reverend Green '' from the original Cluedo with `` Mr. Green . '' This is the only region to continue to make such a change . Minor changes include `` Miss Scarlett '' with her name being spelt with one ' t ' , the spanner being called a wrench , and the dagger renamed a knife . In the 2016 U.S. edition , the knife was changed to a dagger . And until 2003 , the lead piping was known as the lead pipe only in the North American edition .
Republic
In the example of the United States , the original 13 British colonies became independent states after the American Revolution , each having a republican form of government . These independent states initially formed a loose confederation called the United States and then later formed the current United States by ratifying the current U.S. Constitution , creating a union of sovereign states with the union or federal government also being a republic . Any state joining the union later was also required to be a republic .
Territorial evolution of the United States
Regarding internal borders , while territories could shift wildly in size , once established states have generally retained their initial borders . Only four states -- Maine , Kentucky , Vermont , and West Virginia -- have been created from land claimed by another state ; all of the others were created from territories or directly from acquisitions . Four states -- Louisiana , Missouri , Nevada , and Pennsylvania -- have expanded significantly by acquiring additional federal territory after their initial admission to the Union . The last state of the contiguous United States , commonly called the `` lower 48 , '' was admitted in 1912 ; the fiftieth and most recent state was admitted in 1959 .
Political party
The United States has become essentially a two - party system , since a conservative ( such as the Republican Party ) and liberal ( such as the Democratic Party ) party has usually been the status quo within American politics . The first parties were called Federalist and Republican , followed by a brief period of Republican dominance before a split occurred between National Republicans and Democratic Republicans . The former became the Whig Party and the latter became the Democratic Party . The Whigs survived only for two decades before they split over the spread of slavery , those opposed becoming members of the new Republican Party , as did anti-slavery members of the Democratic Party . Third parties ( such as the Libertarian Party ) often receive little support and are very rarely the victors in elections . Despite this , there have been several examples of third parties siphoning votes from major parties that were expected to win ( such as Theodore Roosevelt in the election of 1912 and George Wallace in the election of 1968 ) . As third party movements have learned , the Electoral College 's requirement of a nationally distributed majority makes it difficult for third parties to succeed . Thus , such parties rarely win many electoral votes , although their popular support within a state may tip it toward one party or the other . Wallace had weak support outside the South . More generally , parties with a broad base of support across regions or among economic and other interest groups , have a great chance of winning the necessary plurality in the U.S. 's largely single - member district , winner - take - all elections . The tremendous land area and large population of the country are formidable challenges to political parties with a narrow appeal .
Pub
Although `` British '' pubs found outside of Britain and its former colonies are often themed bars owing little to the original British pub , a number of `` true '' pubs may be found around the world .
Truancy
There are a number of expressions in most of languages which refer to truancy . In South Africa , the slang used is bunking , mulling , skipping or jippo . In Jamaica , it is called skulling . In Guyana skulking . In Antigua and Barbuda , it is called skudding . In New Zealand and Australia truancy is called wagging , `` jigging '' , ditching , or skipping school . It is called bunking ( off ) or skiving or wagging in the United Kingdom , mitching , twagging , `` skiving '' or on the knock . In Wales , mitching or sagging . In Liverpool , bunking or cutting class , doggin , skiving , playing tickie or puggin . In Scotland , on the hop , on the bunk , mitching , beaking , skiving , doggin it or on the beak . In Ireland , mitching , on the hop , dossing , on the duck or skiving . In the United States and Canada expressions include hookey , playing hookey , ditching , dipping , jigging , sluffing , skipping , cutting class , or simply just cutting . In the city of St. John 's , the act of truancy is known amongst youths as pipping off , and truant students are described as being on the pip . In Trinidad and Tobago , it is referred to as breaking biche . In Singapore and Malaysia , it is referred to as fly . In the state of Utah a sluff is a commonly used word referring to a truancy . In Pakistan and India it is referred to as bunking . In South Korea , it is called ddaeng - ddaeng - i ( 땡땡이 ( 땡땡이 치다 ) ) . In Japan , It is called zuruyasumi .
Foreign trade of the United States
The main customs territory of the United States includes the 50 states , the District of Columbia , and the territory of Puerto Rico , with the exception of over 200 foreign trade zones designated to encourage economic activity . People and goods entering this territory are subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection . The remaining insular areas are separate customs territories administered largely by local authorities :
United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine
By virtue of Chapter 3 , Palestinian citizens residing in Palestine outside the City of Jerusalem , as well as Arabs and Jews who , not holding Palestinian citizenship , resided in Palestine outside the City of Jerusalem would , upon the recognition of independence , become citizens of the State in which they were resident and enjoy full civil and political rights .
Private (rank)
In modern military parlance , `` private '' is shortened to `` Pte '' in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries and to `` Pvt . '' in the United States .
Naming in the United States
In many U.S. states , hyphens and apostrophe are the only two symbols personal names can officially contain . In some computer systems and in the machine - readable zone of a passport , they are omitted ( Mary - Kate O'Neill → Mary Kate ONeill )
Environmental policy of the United States
One example of a new initiative by the Obama Administration is the America 's Great Outdoors Initiative , which preserves and highlights numerous natural features , and also raises public awareness .
Naming in the United States
In Japan , foreign names ( except Chinese and Korean ones ) are usually transcribed in katakana . In Western countries , Japanese names are usually transcribed according to the Hepburn system .
Local government in the United States
While their territory nominally falls within the boundaries of individual states , Indian reservations actually function outside of state control . The reservation is usually controlled by an elected tribal council which provides local services .
Yule log
Non-English names in the British Isles include Y Bloccyn Gwylian ( the Festival Block ) in Wales , Yeel Carline ( the Christmas Old Wife ) in Scotland and Bloc na Nollaig ( the Christmas Block ) in Ireland .
War of 1812
The United States was not prepared to prosecute a war , for Madison had assumed that the state militias would easily seize Canada and that negotiations would follow . In 1812 , the regular army consisted of fewer than 12,000 men . Congress authorized the expansion of the army to 35,000 men , but the service was voluntary and unpopular ; it offered poor pay , and there were few trained and experienced officers , at least initially . The militia objected to serving outside their home states , were not open to discipline , and performed poorly against British forces when outside their home states . American prosecution of the war suffered from its unpopularity , especially in New England , where anti-war speakers were vocal . `` Two of the Massachusetts members ( of Congress ) , Seaver and Widgery , were publicly insulted and hissed on Change in Boston ; while another , Charles Turner , member for the Plymouth district , and Chief - Justice of the Court of Sessions for that county , was seized by a crowd on the evening of August 3 , ( 1812 ) and kicked through the town '' . The United States had great difficulty financing its war . It had disbanded its national bank , and private bankers in the Northeast were opposed to the war . The United States was able to obtain financing from London - based Barings Bank to cover overseas bond obligations . The failure of New England to provide militia units or financial support was a serious blow . Threats of secession by New England states were loud , as evidenced by the Hartford Convention . Britain exploited these divisions , blockading only southern ports for much of the war and encouraging smuggling . Administrative
Sawing a woman in half
Male assistants were common in magic history and in the Victorian era ; the cumbersome clothes imposed on women by the fashions of the time made it impractical for them to squeeze into confined spaces required by some tricks . Changing fashions in the early 20th century made Selbit 's choice of a female victim a practical proposition . It was also true that an illusion designed for a lithe woman might be more compact and deceptive than one tailored to fit a man . However , more controversially , a combination of the emancipation of women and a population desensitized by war and exposed to new entertainment phenomena meant Selbit 's choice struck a chord in the public imagination . In Steinmeyer 's words : `` beyond the practical concerns , the image of the woman in peril became a specific fashion in entertainment '' .
Android (operating system)
According to StatCounter , which tracks only the use for browsing the web , Android is the most popular mobile operating system since August 2013 . Android is the most popular operating system for web browsing in India and several other countries ( e.g. virtually all of Asia , with Japan and North Korea exceptions ) . According to StatCounter , Android is most used on mobile in all African countries , and it stated `` mobile usage has already overtaken desktop in several countries including India , South Africa and Saudi Arabia '' , with virtually all countries in Africa having done so already ( except for seven countries , including Egypt ) , such as Ethiopia and Kenya in which mobile ( including tablets ) usage is at 90.46 % ( Android only , accounts for 75.81 % of all use there ) .
Android (operating system)
According to an April 2017 StatCounter report , Android overtook Microsoft Windows to become the most popular operating system for total Internet usage . It has maintained the plurality since then .
