The '''United States of America''' ('''United States''', '''US''', '''USA''',  or '''America''') was a country in the North American continent on [[Earth]]. This was the fourth largest country on the planet, after Russia, Canada and China. The capital was Washington, DC. Its unofficial language was English.

This country was a representative republic, founded in the 18th century. The United States played a significant role in the history of Earth prior to the world's [[Earthgov|unification]]. The people and culture of the United States were known as American.
 
Eventually, the United States and Canada formed a single government, called the [[American State]].<ref name="Midnight on the Firing Line">[[Midnight on the Firing Line]]</ref>
