Hello, my name is Anna.
I'd like to present you an American state: New York.
Its nickname is "The Empire State" and the capital city of this state is Albany.
It is 54,475 square miles and it counts 18,976,457 inhabitants.
It became a state on July 26, 1788 and was the 11th state in the USA.
The state bird is the Bluebird.
Thank you for your attention.
There is no reason to try and be so precise on the population count. Saying "19 million" is good enough. People come and go all the time, and the census count changes every day.
