Hopefully that isn't worded too terribly.

The [[Halo: Escalation Issue 7|seventh issue]] of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' shows a map of the URNA which displays the borders of the provinces and states, suggesting they continue to exist in some capacity in the 26<sup>th</sup> century. Strangely, the province of Quebec is colored differently from the rest of the republic. However, given that the province is the same color as the depicted water bodies, while Hudson Bay is colored like a landmass, this is almost certainly the result of a coloring error rather than an attempt to depict Quebec as being separate from the URNA. Additionally, part of northeastern Mexico is also depicted as a water body. This is also presumed to be an error, as the entire Texan landmass that borders northeastern Mexico is colored as land rather than water. | The [[Halo: Escalation Issue 7|seventh issue]] of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' shows a map of the URNA which displays the borders of the provinces and states, suggesting they continue to exist in some capacity in the 26<sup>th</sup> century.

Mid-26<sup>th</sup> century depictions of North America seen in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 4'' prove that the continent still holds a similar shape to its 21<sup>st</sup> century appearance, with Hudson Bay, Quebec, and northeastern Mexico still intact. | ||
