==Trivia==
*The empire bears resemblance to the [[Wikipedia: United States|United States]] by way of iconography.
*The United Republic of North America, or URNA, is a geo-political body that appears in one of Bungie's previous franchises, ''[[Halopedia: Halo universe|Halo]]'', and is very similar in concept to ''Destiny's'' North American Empire. Both could be references to the real world [[wikipedia: North_American_Union|North American Union]].
*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 in which Earth's conventional nation-states had dissolved and been replaced by a set of common laws applicable to all human beings and optional, voluntary membership in non-geographical nations called Hives.
**The 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."
