So Neo....if someone in Hawaii won....would that be outside the " Contenenal United States".....and mean ONLY a BOOK can be won?..A Lei is REALLY HARD for a person in Hawaii to get.. anyhow if so, details would be better if they were MORE specific and not get peoples HOPES up.
Maybe a NEGOTIATION? Perhaps if one payed for the extra shipping cost? I mean it is a VERY cool book, but is about fish people in the US can never actually own.

Continental United States

The continental United States is a term referring to the United States situated on the North American continent. Depending on usage, it can mean either:
Contents
[hide]
[edit] Similar terms
To avoid confusion, people often use the term continental United States when including Alaska, and one of the following when excluding Alaska, i.e., referring to only those 48 states situated in central North America:
Although the District of Columbia is not a state, it is considered correct to count it as part of the continental United States or contiguous United States, as long as "United States" is capitalized, because it is an official part of the country named "the United States".
[edit] Use in Alaska and Hawaii
Some places, because of their own location relative to the contiguous United States, have their own unique labels for it:
As the language of the Alaska Omnibus Act of 1959 makes apparent, the term was in use in U.S. federal law prior to then. It presumably dates from after the acquisition of Alaska in 1867, and probably from after the Spanish-American War and the annexation of Hawaii brought the United States its first off-continent possessions, both in 1898. Whatever else these terms may be, "continental United States" is a term defined in various federal laws, in different ways in different time periods; it is also defined in different ways at the same time, depending on whether or not the context was the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, during at least a period that began with Alaska statehood.

[edit] Similar terms
To avoid confusion, people often use the term continental United States when including Alaska, and one of the following when excluding Alaska, i.e., referring to only those 48 states situated in central North America:
- contiguous United States
- conterminous states
- lower 48 states
- CONUS (a military abbreviation)
Although the District of Columbia is not a state, it is considered correct to count it as part of the continental United States or contiguous United States, as long as "United States" is capitalized, because it is an official part of the country named "the United States".
[edit] Use in Alaska and Hawaii
Some places, because of their own location relative to the contiguous United States, have their own unique labels for it:
- In Hawaii and overseas American territories, the term "the Mainland" or "U.S. Mainland" is used to refer to the continental United States (either including or excluding Alaska).
- In Alaska, the term "lower 48" often used to refer to the contiguous states. However, "continental United States" is almost never used when referring to just the contiguous states, since Alaskans consider it a slight to excluded them from the continent. Long-time residents often simply call this area "Outside", as in "My brother went Outside to have heart surgery".
