Description
The modern day U.S. in the Forgotten No More-verse, with the map itself being written in what is known in this TL as American Standard English (A.S.E.). The push for reformation and a strict departure from the spelling structure of British English was driven by significantly more hostile relations between the U.S. and Great Britain than OTL. The effects of the ASE can be seen not only in the writing of the map in places like the table, but also in the names of most cities, which by 2021 have adopted official spelling changes to match ASE standards. This is not uniform. Some places have held on to the traditional spellings of their names.

The ASE is the predominant spelling standard in most of the states in the present day, though there are exceptions. Though the state of Newfoundland & Labrador did adopt a spelling change, as shown above, the State Constitution has always protected the Oxford Style (a standardized British English) and most Neufaunlanders (ASE) would spell it Newfoundland. In the state of Eustis, though the majority of the state is proficient in ASE, a large segment of the population on Alexandrea Island are also proficient in and prefer the Oxford Style.

The country is divided into 51 states and four territories. The most populous state is Eest Florida, while the least populous state is Glazeor. The ten largest cities are, in order:

1) Chicago, WA;
2) Neu York Citee, NY;
3) Brucklin, NY;
4) Lawentz, OH;
5) Greater Queens, NY;
6) Tempa, EF;
7) Si'al, JM;
8) Filadelfea, PA
9) Toronto, HU
10) Uneon Citee, D.C.

Some in this TL's US refer to the current federal government as the Third Republic, accounting for the first, under the Articles of Confederation, the second, the First Constitution; and the third, under the governing Second Constitution. After a civil conflict in the 1920s, the leading politicians of the time who emerged from this conflict organized a new Constitutional Convention as a means of righting the ship. Some of its major changes involved the restructuring of the Senate into a largely passive role, delegating a larger share of the legislative functions to the House of Representatives. The House also adopted a mixed-proportional districting scheme, where-in each state would have equal shares of FPTP and corrective seats. Another key change was the separation of the judicial branch into its own quasi-branch, almost entirely beholden to the Supreme Court, but with a degree of autonomy and executive functionality and duties.

The major sports watched by TTL Americans would be taunsbal, akin to what we would call baseball; barolbal, akin to basketball; stix, akin to hockey/ice hockey; and gridiron, akin to rugby and American tackle football.
