The United States of America is a country in North America. It is either the greatest country in the world (if you ask many conservatives, many Americans, and all American conservatives) or a piece of crap led by extremely religious, nationalistic, free-market, gun-toting rednecks (if you ask anyone else). There is absolutely no middle ground between these two positions.

Currently led by Joseph Biden, Barack Obama's former VP, either the only candidate Centrist™ enough to rally enough of the electorate to unseat the Great Dictator, or further proof the Democratic establishment will always err toward the path of least reform, leading the media to bemoan mere weeks into his presidency how boring the news was now that the country wasn't being manhandled by a mafia don.

In DYOS

America frequently appeared as a leading faction in early DYOS, typically from George W. Bush playing world policeman. During DRAW Your Own Story 5, it became a battleground between the Taillenian and Coruscanti empires after the Partition of Earth. Its appeal as an "NPC" faction waned during the Dark Ages, although it continued to act in a supporting role to contributors as late as DRAW Your Own Story 10.

In DYOS X.ii, the Enclave usurped control of most of the United States in the wake of the Troubles, in turn losing control to the Republic of Coruscant during the Third Nazi War. Following the Enclave's defeat in the Battle of the Bulge, Coruscant declared itself America's successor and began a process of annexation that would see all states and territories incorporated into the Republic.

As of DRAW Your Own Story 11, Coruscant controls the mainland United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico; the state of its pre-war overseas military bases is unknown. Omega124 attempted to instigate a rebellion in New York early in the thread,[1] but this plot passed into obscurity and was ultimately abandoned.
