The Commonwealth of America, commonly known simply as America, is a country and sovereign state located in North America on Terra Nostra. It has a geography characterized by the Great Plains and the front range of the Rocky Mountains in the west, the Great Lakes and the Ohio River Valley in the nation's heartland, and extending through the Appalachian uplands of Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia to the Mid-Atlantic coast of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In addition to its contiguous territory, the nation holds several non-contiguous exclaves, including strategic coastal corridors along the Chesapeake Bay and New England. With a total active population of 1,152 as of August 4, 2026, America is the most-populous nation in the world, constituting over a third of the population of North America. The capital of the Commonwealth is Milwaukee, with its largest cities being Chicago, Philadelphia, and Fort Wayne. It is the third oldest nation in North America.
