Editing North America (section)

== United States and California ==

The [[United States]] is the main North American setting connected to documented late-period events. In January 2025, the United States entered the [[Federal Collapse Crisis]] after classified files connected to the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen became public. Federal authority was restored in February 2025 after emergency constitutional measures.

[[California]] became the most important North American state in later investigations. Recovered documents identified the state as a possible staging area for a Tanoan intervention if federal authority remained fragmented. The plan did not move beyond contingency planning, and no confirmed Tanoa military landing occurred.

California was important because of its Pacific coastline, ports, airports, technology sector, entertainment industry, population size, political importance, and existing criminal infrastructure. The main connected urban area was Los Angeles, with Hollywood serving as the center of the [[Bucharest Butchers]]' California branch.
