North American Empire

The North American Empire was the largest voluntary retronationalist republic that existed during the Golden Age. Its insignia featured twin eagles.

As a voluntary state, the North American Empire was presumably united by fellowship between like-minded individuals. In particular, its membership was noted for a love of “military pageantry and muscular aerospace displays.”

Trivia

• The empire bears resemblance to the 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, Halo, and is very similar in concept to Destiny's North American Empire. Both could be references to the real world 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 Inspiration was taken from the Terra Ignota book series by Ada Palmer, in which nation-states had dissolved and been replaced by a set of common laws applicable to all human beings and voluntary membership in non-geographical nations called Hives subject to those laws.
