United States of America

The United States of America is a federal republic situated primarily in North America. It is bordered on the north by Canada and on the south by Mexico.

American Revolution and nationhood
Various taxes was imposed on the colonists as it was becoming increasingly difficult for the crown to pay for its military excursions and the defense of the American colonies from native uprisings. The colonists widely resented the taxes as they were denied representation in the British Parliament. A famous protest against the tax on tea was orchestrated at Boston, known as the "Boston Tea Party," in which the Ninth Doctor claimed to have participated ("The Unquiet Dead").

In 1775, the American Revolutionary War against colonial rule by Britain began. The Rani was present at some point during this conflict, and extracted brain chemicals from soldiers, using the violence to conceal her presence ("The Mark of the Rani").

American Civil War
Aliens are known to have kidnapped soldiers from this conflict for use in their war games (DW: ;;The War Games'').

People and culture
U.S. popular culture had a significant influence on the rest of the Earth during the 20th and 21st centuries, especially in the Western world. U.S. music was heard all over the world, and included such forms as blues, jazz and rock and roll. As late as the final destruction of Earth during the expansion of its Sun, much of this music was still considered among the greatest ever composed by humanity ("The End of the World"). Europe.

Largest cities
New York City was destroyed during the 22nd century Dalek invasion (DW: The Chase), while Los Angeles was still a major global center in the early years of the Earth Empire (DW: Frontier in Space).
