Trivia

 * Although many other countries in the Halo universe have undergone radical change both politically and territorially, the United States would appear to have maintained some element of its sovereignty following the rise of the United Earth Government. Though this is not explicitly stated in Halo canon, in I Love Bees Rani Sobeck makes direct reference to the Fifth Amendment, implying that the Constitution is still the foundation for law in 26th-century America. This is further supported by the continued existence of the IRS, and several characters in Halo canon being described as Americans.
