| The '''United States of America''' is a federal constitutional republic comprising over Fifty districts, which are known as states. 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 Ocean to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It is bordered by Canada to the north and by Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent with Canada to its east. The state of Hawaii is located in the mid-Pacific. U.S. territories, or insular areas, are scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific.

| == UN ==
| |
| 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. By the early 26th century, it seemingly no longer existed as a distinct political entity.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], page 30 </ref> most likely absolved into the [[United Republic of North America]].

| == UNSC ==
| |
| The [[UNSC]] may have dozens, if not hundreds of bases in the United States. One such facility was the [[Chawla Base|ONI Chawla Base]] in Boston, Massachusetts.
| |
| | |
| == Locations of note ==
| |
| *[[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]].
| |
| *Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System Testing Facility in [[Chicago]], Illinois, which forms [[Foundation (Level)|Foundation]], a Multiplayer level of [[Halo 2]]
| |
| *[[New York]] is an important location on one of the ILB stories and home to some of the main characters.
| |
| | |
| ==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 following the rise of the [[United Earth Government]]. Though this is not explicitly stated 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 the foundation for 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.
| |
| *[[Avery J. Johnson]] is from the city of Chicago, Illinois, one of the fifty states.
| |
| *Although all of the countries on [[Earth]] are united under the banner of the [[UNSC]], the United States most likely hold the most power.
