The '''Greater Chicago Industrial Zone''' (often referred to simply as '''"The Zone"''') is a [[Human]] settlement 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 Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', pg. 37</ref>

While physically located in the [[United States of America|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.
