USA

Do I say USA is or USA are?
  

Top answer

It's a single country (well, slightly split in two at the moment, but it will be a single country again after the election), so 'The USA is holding its election November 2nd'. Some people refer to the country informally as 'the States' -- in this case, it would be 'The States are holding their election'.
