{{Stub}} {{GeoInfobox | image = USA orthographic.svg | caption = The United States' geographical location, including Alaska and Hawaii. | image2 = Flag of the United States.svg | caption2 = "The Star-Spangled Banner", the National Flag of the United States of America | full_name = United States of America | fifa_code = USA | article_mode = Nation | type = Nation }} The '''''United States''''' (officially the '''United States of America''', often abbreviated as '''US''' or '''USA''', or simply referred to as '''America''') is a country in [[North America]] that has had one of the largest impacts on gaming and video gaming history. It is a federal republic composed of fifty states, one federal district, and several unincorporated territories, such as [[American Samoa]], [[Guam]] and [[Puerto Rico]]. The political and federal capital of the ''United States'' is located in Washington, D.C., although each state also has its own capital. The ''United States'' uses the [[Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]] for video game ratings. Unlike other institutions, such as [[Pan European Game Information|PEGI]] and the [[British Board of Film Classification|BBFC]], the ESRB is a voluntary rating system with no legal power; instead, retailers self-regulate the sale of video games based on the ESRB's assigned rating. Many retailers refuse to sell video games that are assigned the ''Adults Only'' rating by the ESRB, and this, in turn, has influenced video game development. ==US-based publishers/developers/studios== * [[14 Degrees East]] ([[Star Trek (franchise)|''Star Trek'' franchise]]) * [[Activision]] ([[Call of Duty (franchise)|''Call of Duty'']] & [[Star Trek (franchise)|''Star Trek'']] franchises) * [[Activision Blizzard]] * [[Bethesda Softworks]] ([[DOOM (series)|''DOOM'' series]], [[The Elder Scrolls (series)|''The Elder Scrolls'' series]], [[Fallout (series)|''Fallout'' series]], [[Star Trek (franchise)|''Star Trek'' franchise]]) * [[Blizzard Entertainment]] ([[Diablo (series)|''Diablo'' series]], [[Overwatch (series)|''Overwatch'' series]], [[StarCraft (series)|''StarCraft'' series]], [[Warcraft (franchise)|''Warcraft'' franchise]]) * [[Ensemble Studios]] ([[Age of Empires (series)|''Age of Empires'' series]]) * [[Epic Games]] ([[Unreal (franchise)|''Unreal'' franchise]]) * [[Interplay Entertainment]] ([[Descent (series)|''Descent'' series]], [[Fallout (series)|''Fallout'' series]], [[Freespace (series)|''Freespace'' series]] & [[Star Trek (franchise)|''Star Trek'' franchise]]) * [[id Software]] ([[DOOM (series)|''DOOM'' series]]) * [[Ion Storm]] ([[Deus Ex (series)|''Deus Ex'' series]]) * [[Electronic Arts]] ([[Battlefield (series)|''Battlefield'' series]], [[Command & Conquer (franchise)|''Command & Conquer'' franchise]], [[Dead Space (series)|''Dead Space'' series]], [[Dragon Age (series)|''Dragon Age'' series]], [[SimCity (series)|''SimCity'' series]], [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]] * [[NovaLogic]] ''([[F-16 Multirole Fighter]], [[F-22 Raptor]], [[MiG-29 Fulcrum]])'' * [[Obsidian Entertainment]] ''([[Fallout: New Vegas]], [[Neverwinter Nights 2]], [[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords]])'' * [[Origin Systems]] ([[Ultima (series)|''Ultima'']] & [[Wing Commander (series)|''Wing Commander'' series]]) * [[Westwood Studios]] ([[Command & Conquer (franchise)|''Command & Conquer'' franchise]]) ==External Links== * {{WP|United States}} {{North America}}
