Location
The United States is bordering both the North Atlantic Ocean, and the North Pacific Ocean, between Canada and Mexico. Peru is in Western South America, bordering the South Pacific Ocean, between Chile and Ecuador. Peru as a country is formed of three regions. The climate in the United State is tropical in Hawaii and Florida, semiarid in the great plains west of Mississippi River, and arid in the Great Basin of the southwest, low winter temperatures in the northwest are ameliorated occasionally in January and February by warm chinook winds from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. In Peru, the climate varies from tropical in east to desert in west; temperate to frigid in the Andes
Languages
In the United States, there are different cultures due to immigration. Therefore, there are diverse languages. The official language is English. Hawaiian is an official language in the state of Hawaii. While in Peru the official language is Spanish and Quecha. However, there are Aymara and several minor Amazonian languages. Both the US and Peru are countries with a diverse racial population, but America has a white majority while Peru has an Amerindian majority. The coastal area is more cosmopolitan in outlook, especially Lima. There has been a migration from the Andes to the cities resulting in slums growing slowly into functioning cities. Some cities are very crowded. Peru’s governments have been famous for the level of corruption they spawned.
Political System
The United States has Constitution-based federal republic; strong democratic tradition. Peru is a constitutional republic, both countries are democratic and elect their president every 5 years. But in the United States, there are mainly 2 candidates and only a portion of the country gets to vote. In Peru everyone must vote or else they’re fined, and every vote has the same value on the count. In the US a Californian vote has more influence than a vote from Idaho, here in Peru the vote from a professional in Lima has the same influence than a vote from an illiterate person who has never moved out of the top of a mountain, so politicians take advantage of this and many opportunity seekers gamble on a chance to get into government, that is why we have like 20 candidates on every election and nobody wins on the first chance, so 2 candidates finally go to the second round but one is a gamble and the other is not so good either so finally the least bad candidate wins by a 51 to 49 count.
