It is a democratic republic that is modeled somewhat after the Roman Republic with heads of government that are separated into three branches of government - Executive, Judicial, and Legislative. Its history as a country has been affected by the actions of Greek and Roman demigods, such as the Civil War and the Second World War. It declared independence in 1776.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians
In all five books of the first Camp Half-Blood the United States of America is the center of the power of civilization followed by the Olympian gods and known as Western Civilization. Manhattan, a borough of New York City, is the location of Mount Olympus in the United States. The exact location of Mount Olympus is the Empire State Building. In the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Mount Olympus is on the supposed "600th floor" of the Empire State Building. Many of the locations of Greek mythology have also moved with Mount Olympus and can be found all over America. Some of these locations include the labyrinth, the Sea of Monsters, and the den of the Lotus Eaters (dwelling in the Lotus Hotel and Casino). The main entrance to the Underworld has moved to Los Angeles CA in the DOA Recording Studios. The Titan base has moved along with Mount Olympus to the top off Mount Tamalpais in San Francisco, CA.
