Working the USA is 1 DXCC country.

Actually, according to the DXCC list:

http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/dxcclist.txt

somewhere between 3 and 19 DXCC "entities," depending on how you define
"USA."

Three, if you consider only the 50 states:

K,W,N,AA-AK United States of America
KL7 Alaska
KH6-7 Hawaii

Fifteen more if you consider territories, possessions, and
commonwealths:

KH0 Mariana Islands
KH1 Baker, Howland Islands
KH2 Guam
KH3 Johnston Island
KH4 Midway Island
KH5 Palmyra, Jarvis Islands
KH5/K Kingman Reef
KH7K Kure Island
KH8 American Samoa
KH8 Swains Island
KH9 Wake Island
KP1 Navassa Island
KP2 U.S. Virgin Islands
KP3,4 Puerto Rico
KP5 Desecheo Island

And then of course there's this one, under U.S. control, but
energetically debated over whether it's a "jurisdiction" of the United
States:

KG4 Guantanamo Bay
