A state of the United States of America is one of the 50 constituent political entities that shares its sovereignty with the United States federal government. Due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the federal government, Americans are citizens of both the federal republic and of the state in which they reside.State citizenship and residency are flexible and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons covered by certain types of court orders (e.g., paroled convicts and children of divorced spouses who are sharing custody). States range in population from just under 600,000 (Wyoming) to over 38 million (California). Four—Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia—use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names.
States are divided into counties or county-equivalents, which may be assigned some local governmental authority but are not sovereign. County or county-equivalent structure varies widely by state. State governments are allocated power by the people (of each respective state) through their individual constitutions. All are grounded in republican principles, and each provides for a government, consisting of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.
US or U.S. usually refers to the United States of America, a country in North America.

The United States Department of State (DOS), often referred to as the State Department, is the United States federal executive department responsible for the international relations of the United States, equivalent to the foreign ministry of other countries. The Department was created in 1789 and was the first executive department established.
The Department is headquartered in the Harry S Truman Building located at 2201 C Street, NW, a few blocks away from the White House in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The Department operates the diplomatic missions of the United States abroad and is responsible for implementing the foreign policy of the United States and U.S. diplomacy efforts. The Department is also the depositary for more than 200 multilateral treaties.
The Department is led by the Secretary of State, who is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate and is a member of the Cabinet. The current Secretary of State is John Kerry. The Secretary of State is the first Cabinet official in the order of precedence and in the presidential line of succession.

The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km2) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the United States are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.

Several senior-level managers at the US State Department are reported to have resigned. However, there are conflicting claims over what this means. Some say it is an abrupt departure in protest against Donald Trump's presidency. But others say it is routine procedure in the wake of a change of political administration. Four top officials ousted at State Department as Trump administration takes shape https://t.co/Lt3QDBjFEl pic.twitter.com/iR5XKjQ9Hu— NBC News (@NBCNews) Jan… READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2017/01/27/us-state-department-managers-resign-over-trump What are the top stories today?

State Department officials told Reuters on Thursday that at least three senior U.S. diplomats at the State Department have left their posts. It was not immediately clear whether their departure was part of the normal transition process when a new administration starts--or whether it was a coordinated walkout by diplomats who had served in Democrat Barack Obama's administration. Among those whom Reuters has confirmed are leaving, are Assistant Secretary for State for Diplomatic Security Gregory Starr, Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Michele Bond, and acting undersecretary for arms control and international security Tom Countryman. Newly confirmed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is now under great pressure to fill these posts quickly. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/...
