United States Federal republic in North America

The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States or America, is a country composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles. With a population of over 327 million people, the U.S. is the third most populous country. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city by population is New York City. Forty-eight states and the capital's federal district are contiguous in North America between Canada and Mexico. The State of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The State of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate, and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.

Route description

GH-15's route covers mainly the northeast coast of Guam. Beginning off of GH-4 in Chalan Pago-Ordot, GH-15 proceeds eastward into Mangilao, where it intersects GH-10. GH-15 continues east until it approaches the east coast. From there, GH-15 generally follows the coastline. Towards the northern edge of Mangilao, GH-15 meets the southern end of GH-26, heading north towards Dededo. GH-15 eventually crosses into Yigo and starts moving gradually inland. Shortly after passing GH-15's most notable attraction, the Guam International Raceway, GH-15 makes its final major junction, with GH-29, a connector to GH-1 and the main gate to Andersen Air Force Base. GH-15 finally continues north until it ends at Andersen AFB's rear gate. [1]
