comment
Divided States of America: During the events of The Peace War, the former United States was fractured into numerous smaller nations, including the Republic of New Mexico, the feudal autocracy of Atzlan (formerly southern California) and the "ungoverned lands", a region with no central government where the peace is kept by protection companies. In The Ungoverned, the divisions remain, and nobody seems much interested in reassembling the former Union.
