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. This loss of national identity was a natural consequence of human colonization of other planets and systems.
