The United States is a geo-political entity that continues to exist in a post-Omnic Crisis world. Transcontinental train cars run across the country. The American Southwest is a fairly lawless area, where various gangs spend their time robbing trains and carrying out bank heists.

History

When the Omnic Crisis hit America, the country was willing to try anything to win the war. Consequently, the United States ran the highly classified but widely acknowledged "soldier enhancement program." Controversial, the program utilized pharmaceutical (among other means) to create "perfect soldiers" blessed with superhuman speed, strength, and agility. Ultimately, politics, mismanagement, and egos left it to Overwatch to finally win the war.

After the theft of a pulse rifle from the abandoned Watchpoint: Grand Mesa, the US conducted efforts to apprehend the intruder. Atlas News reporter Olympia Shaw believed that this intruder was also responsible for previous bombings of corporate offices and financial institutions within the United States.
