United States of America

The United States of America is a nation in North America.

2020s
On November 3rd, 2020, Steven Rice was elected president for a first term with Theo Brown as his Vice President. They ran on a platform of "cleaning house", which Rice described as "getting rid of extraneous crap, and defeating crime". Many political scientists considered this, along with Rice's platform plank to "be very humanitarian" to be a dogwhistle for oppressing inhumans. This did indeed happen, as arrests and convictions of inhumans, regardless of guilt or involvement in any crime, skyrocketed as Rice appointed new judges. During the first year, a bill was introduced to Congress to outlaw marriage between humans and inhumans, but this was defeated after a massive outcry and campaign from inhuman rights activists.

Three major incidents occurred in 2020, 2021, and 2022 that would define human-inhuman relations forever, especially in the USA. The first was the Tiba Incident, in which a teryo mercenary named Zoltan Farkas, who was supposed to be incarcerated in Hungary, arrived in Guinea-Bissau and shot his human ex-commander, James Murdoch, and the CEO of Phalanx PMC, Jonathan Kress. While this did not occur in the USA, Phalanx is an American company and thus poured money into Rice's election campaign. Analysts also say that Phalanx's donations to Rice pushed him to be more and more anti-inhuman, as the new CEO of Phalanx, Jonathan's son Elias, was notoriously racist against them, even barring them from joining the PMC.

The second major incident was the Doyle Raid, in which members of the Czarnykielski Pack infiltrated Doyle Military Research Facility and stole a railgun prototype. One of the few surviving guards in the area identified the subjects as teryo, which further increased public sentiment and soured human-teryo relations.
