* First mentioned in ''Destiny'', the nature of the North American Empire was elaborated on in material released for ''[[Shadowkeep]]''. Inspiration was taken from the ''Terra Ignota'' book series by Ada Palmer, <ref>https://twitter.com/sethjdickinson/status/1178350571952099329</ref> in which Earth's conventional nation-states had dissolved and been replaced by a set of common laws applicable to all human beings and optional, voluntary membership in non-geographical nations called Hives.
* Author notes further describe the North American Empire's retro nationalism as "where everybody gets together to build rockets, wave flags, and have gigantic airshows", and "the actualized version of the feeling you get while watching the launch sequence in Apollo 13."
