The megadiverse countries are a group of countries that harbor the majority of Earth's species and high numbers of endemic species.

Conservation International identified 17 megadiverse countries in 1998.

Many of them are located in, or partially in, tropical or subtropical regions.

The fauna of the United States of America is all the animals living in the Continental United States and its surrounding seas and islands, the Hawaiian Archipelago, Alaska in the Arctic, and several island-territories in the Pacific and in the Caribbean.

The U.S. has many distinctive indigenous species found nowhere else on Earth.

With most of the North American continent, the U.S. lies in the Nearctic faunistic realm, a region containing an assemblage of species similar to northern parts of Africa and Eurasia.

The Caribbean Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere.

It is bounded by Mexico and Central America to the west and south west, to the north by the Greater Antilles starting with Cuba, to the east by the Lesser Antilles, and to the south by the north coast of South America.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of the Earth's oceanic divisions.

It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south and is bounded by Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

A federal district is a type of administrative division of a federation, usually under the direct control of a federal government and organized with a single municipal body, much like city-states.

Federal districts often include capital districts, and they exist in states and countries worldwide.
