| The '''United States of America''' is a federal constitutional republic comprising over sixty districts. The country is situated almost entirely in the western hemisphere: its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie in central North America between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south; the state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent with Canada to its east, and the state of Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific. U.S. territories, or insular areas, are scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific.

| It is possible that New York City in the state of New York is the location of the supreme United Nations headquarters, commanding the [[UNSC|UNSC Defense Force]], [[Colonial Administration Authority]], and the [[Colonial Military Administration]] as it was currently based there in the 21st century. However HIGHCOM, the High Command on the UNSCDF is based in Sydney, Australia. It may have been reorganised upon the formation of the [[United Earth Government]] into the [[United Republic of North America]].

| *Chawla Base in Boston was an ONI controlled UNSC base that held the Deep-space Artifact.
| |
| *Cleveland was one of the locations attacked by the Covenant in the Second Battle of Earth.
| |

| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Although many other countries in the [[Halo universe]] have undergone radical change both politically and territorially, the United States would appear to have maintained some element of its sovereignty. Though not directly mentioned in Halo canon, in I Love Bees [[Rani Sobeck]] makes direct reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fifth Amendment]], implying that the [[Wikipedia:United States Constitution|Constitution]] is still recognized as law in 26th-century America. This is further supported by the continued existence of the [[Wikipedia:Internal Revenue Service|IRS]], and several characters in Halo canon being described as Americans.
