Somehow I'm reminded of a scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"....
I have to ask what do you include in the definition of "United States" ? Can I include territories ? Also just what is most East ? As defined by the Prime Meridian or by which part sees the Sun rise first (using International Date Line) ?

Arthur: Ask me your questions, Bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What...is your name?
Arthur: King Arthur of the Britons!
Bridgekeeper: What...is your quest?

Bridgekeeper: (confused) Well...I don't know... (An unseen force whisks him up and over the side of the bridge) AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!
