The '''United States of America''' (USA) is an [[Earth]]ican country. It is the main location for ''[[Futurama]]'' and also the country in which the show is produced. While Earth in the [[31st century]] has become a single nation, many of the original constituent countries still remain, including the USA. The [[Earth government]] is modeled after the USA government of today and the flag of Earth, [[Old Freebie]], is similar to the American flag. Because Earth's government is seen more than the USA's government on the show, not much is known about the country. The [[U.S. president]] is never mentioned, only the [[President of Earth|Earth president]].

At the [[21st century]], USA still had much power in international relations. In [[2008]], usa began to use [[suicide booth]]s. Between the 21st and 31st centuries Earth was united, possibly led by the United States during to [[Old Freebie]] being similar to the old United States flag. All countries, such as USA, got a status similar to 21st century US States. [[Washingto, D.C.]] became the Earth capital. USA also participated in the [[3004 Earth Olympiad]].

The United States of America (commonly referred to as the United States or America and abbreviated as "USA or "US") is an Earthican federal republic. It is the main location for Futurama and also the country in which the show is produced. While Earth in the 31st century has become a single nation, many of the original constituent countries still remain, including the USA. The Earth government is modeled after the USA government of today and the flag of Earth, Old Freebie, is similar to the American flag. Because Earth's government is seen more than the USA's government on the show, not much is known about the country. The U.S. president is never mentioned, only the Earth president. Cities in the country which had been destroyed, and now rebuilt, have changed their names to "New" cities, like New New York.
