The 'Meet the Robinsons' Example should be moved to 'Expanded states of America' instead.

The Jennifer Government part needs some tweaking. Most notably, the part about 'most of Europe' being absorbed. Only the British Isles are a part of America, the rest of Europe (besides Russia) being 'socialist'.

It's also worth noting that the official language of the United States is 'American', as British English and all non-American English accents have gone extinct (presumably, so have Thai, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, etc).

I'm not sure what to do with the Code Geass example, since it's a world-dominating nation based in the Americas without actually being the US. For the record, here was its entry:

• In Code Geass, Britannia (whose primary territory is America) controls about 1/4 of the world at the beginning, progressing to 2/3 by the end.
  • Perhaps a subversion, since Britannia is, as the name suggests, a direct continuation of Britain's government centred in the Americas following France's takeover of the British Isles. It's arguably a metaphorical substitute for America as well, though, so it's not exactly clear.
    • Closer to 1/3 at the beginning of the show. The creator said that any references to America are unintentional, but most viewers can see the (subconscious?) similarities. It seems to be a pastiches of colonialist governments in general, borrowing the Number-Area system from the Japanese Empire's cultural suppression attempts during WWII, Nazi German Ideology, the British Empire's colonialism, and, of course, Americanization.
  • And let's not forget the catchy Spanish music. Because nothing says "oppressing (or liberating) the world" like blaring trumpets and flamenco guitars!
