The '''Greater Chicago Industrial Zone''' (often referred to simply as '''"The Zone"''') is a [[human]] city on [[Earth]], located on the continent of [[North America]] near Lake Michigan. An outgrowth of the modern-day [[United States of America|American]] city of Chicago, the Zone is a vast urban sprawl covering large parts of the "former" states of [[Wikipedia:Illinois|Illinois]], [[Wikipedia:Wisconsin|Wisconsin]], and [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 37''</ref> The [[Great Lakes Spaceport]] is located nearby. By [[2558]], Chicago was the third most populated city of the [[United Republic of North America]] on Earth, after [[New York City]] and [[Los Angeles]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #7''</ref>
'''Chicago''', also known as the '''Greater Chicago Industrial Zone''' or simply '''"the Zone"''', is a [[human]] metroplex in the country of the [[United Republic of North America]] on [[Earth]]. It is located on near Lake Michigan. Formerly a city of the [[Wikipedia:United States of America]], the Zone is now a vast urban sprawl covering large parts of what used to be the states of [[Wikipedia:Illinois|Illinois]], [[Wikipedia:Wisconsin|Wisconsin]], and [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 37''</ref>  


While physically located in the United States, the Zone is a de-facto independent city-state, with its citizens feeling more loyalty to it and, to a lesser extent, the [[United Nations]] than to the US government. This loss of national identity was a natural consequence of human colonization of other planets and systems.
The [[Great Lakes Spaceport]] is located nearby. By [[2558]], Chicago was the third most populated city of the [[United Republic of North America]] on Earth, after [[New York City]] and [[Los Angeles]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #7''</ref>
