In the year 2983, The United States is long gone from living memory. Although its legacy lives on in pockets, folk songs, campfire stories, old heroes. The language of that Empire isn't lost but lives on in scientific jargon and the mouths of those who chose to invest the time into speaking it.
The western end of the old country is a loosely-tied conglomerate of states united by similar languages. This language has its roots in an old dialect of Imperial English that once had its choking vines in nearly all others but now lives on with a reputation of rurality.
The population that once lived primarily on the coast of the continent all moved inland to escape the increasingly violent storm systems. most of the people who live here are concentrated tightly in four major cities.
As those with monetary power gained more traditional power, the Government of The United States lost more and more resources to be able to maintain their power and so the people turned to the corporate state who could the necessities of structure. But in return, they gained enslavement. Eventually the people would be able to break free of the Corpratist Neo-Feudalism that arose and began to heal.
