The United States is a country “under the command of the thirteen principal stars”, also called New America, bordered on the south by Mexico.

Description
Despite its customs and Marshalls, it is “a rather natural place”, with “a lot of nature, a lot of vegetation”. No city, road or river is named.
Border and law
The southern border is active. Entry requires a “passport in order”, “plus a reason for the stay”, and customs checks that “no kind of illicit material” is being brought in. Extradition treaties and “pacts to return prisoners or fugitives” bind it to Mexico, so a fugitive who crosses south does not escape.
Figures with powers of arrest enforce the law, such as the Marshall; one is recorded arresting a whole group alone. For him, what holds social order together “is the United States and the borders”.
The government
The government “took and used that group and then blew up their exit and wanted to kill them”. The group, date and purpose are not recorded.
Dark dragons
“The dark dragons are in the United States of America. Unfortunately.” Where they nest and whether the government tolerates, hides or fights them is not fixed.
Atlantean claim
An Atlantean asserts that “the constitution of the United States is that of Atlantis, it is a copy of ours”, Atlantis being a realm where “state and society are one thing, because this state is a state of harmony and purity”. This is one Atlantean’s claim, not an established fact.
Open questions
- What are “the thirteen principal stars” (a government, a celestial order, a noble house)?
- Is New America an exact synonym or an annexed part of the territory?
- The phrase “blew up their exit” is uncertain in the records.
- Settlements, population, currency and language of the interior are not recorded.
