Background / History

North America is portrayed as a global superpower whose national self-image rests on being the richest, strongest, coolest, freest, and most morally noble society. It maintains influence through wealth, military power, cultural output, finance, and technological leadership 26 201.

Its technological dominance is reinforced by talent concentration and research infrastructure. North America is stated to hold fifty-one of the world’s top 100 universities and eight of the ten leading laboratories outside NASA; it also draws elite researchers from abroad, including thirteen of the top fifteen Huaxia materials scientists 91. Its dominance in fields such as neuromorphic computing, high-end sensors, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace repeatedly constrains Kunlun Group’s projects 93 201 299.

As Kunlun Group rises, North America shifts from commercial competition to coordinated containment. It funds military research into alternatives to Silver Frost bulletproof fiber, supports price wars in chemical fibers and tires, considers using the Super 301 Act against Huaxia’s new-energy sector, and helps form industrial alliances designed to suppress Huaxia through long-term low-price dumping 47 58 86 99 127.

Strategic Position

Area	Documented Position
Petroleum	Became the world’s largest oil producer in 2018 and exports crude oil, giving its chemical-fiber industry a cost advantage 63
Research and talent	Attracts global researchers and retains major advantages in universities, laboratories, sensors, semiconductors, and computing 91 93 201
Military-industrial power	Army Materiel Command monitors Kunlun’s defensive materials; the Pentagon later assumes direct oversight of plans to counter Kunlun Group 47 286
Industrial alliances	Coordinates corporations and allied regions in tire, automotive, semiconductor, and technology-related containment efforts 86 127 165 246
Spaceflight	Possesses heavy-lift launch capacity, reusable Poseidon rockets, lunar bases, and the Andes Plan for Helium-3 extraction 299 300 306 310

Major Actions

Commercial and Industrial Countermeasures

• DuPont and the North American Army Laboratory launch Super PE bulletproof vests after Silver Frost stimulates a global arms race in protective fibers 58 67.
• DowDuPont, Goodyear, and Michelin merge into a tire alliance that cuts prices on Michelin’s premium tires to pressure Kunlun Company and its affiliated tire groups 86.
• North American capital, including Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, is reported to support the tire-industry acquisitions targeting Kunlun Company 86.
• North America supports wider Western automotive coordination, using fuel-vehicle price cuts and long-term dumping to challenge Huaxia’s solid-state battery vehicle alliance 127 129.
• A North American energy security organization proposes blocking Huaxia’s new-energy exports through Super 301 measures and lower oil prices 99.
• North America and its allies monopolize high-end sensor manufacturing and offer access to sensors and advanced semiconductor processes in exchange for Kunlun technology 201.

Response to Kunlun Product Exclusion

Kunlun Company later excludes North America from initial launches of Kunlun Spark, second-generation Kunlun Infinite, and related products. The exclusions trigger outrage among North American consumers, protests outside Chinese sporting-goods stores, and looting that forces Chinese merchants to close their North American physical stores 138 139.

Demand for the excluded products creates a smuggling trade across the US–Mexico border, with sneakers and shirts becoming profitable contraband alternatives 139.

Militarization of the Technology Conflict

After Kunlun Group’s repeated advances, North America’s Pentagon formally joins its technology-countermeasure meetings. Leon, the Pentagon representative, requires all future plans from the Scientific Research Association to be reported to the military 286.

North American officials regard Kunlun Zenith as a threat to the existing strategic balance, fearing that a functioning laser-defense system could prevent Western strategic weapons from penetrating Huaxia while leaving Huaxia able to strike North American territory 288 289.

Space Program

Poseidon, Celts, and Andes

North America develops the 227-meter Poseidon super rocket, which can carry thousands of tons to Earth orbit and recover its first stage, reducing launch costs 299 300.

• Poseidon — super-heavy reusable launch vehicle; its third stage is repurposed as the foundation of the planned Celts space station 300.
• Celts — planned super-large permanent space station in Earth orbit 300.
• Andes Plan — lunar-development initiative intended to establish bases in rich titanium-iron and Helium-3 regions before Huaxia can secure them 306 307.
• Lunar bases — North America establishes four permanent lunar bases, including installations in major ilmenite mining areas 310 330.

The Andes Plan is accelerated after Huaxia achieves controlled fusion. North America bypasses the planned Celts station phase and moves directly toward constructing lunar bases in key Helium-3 zones, seeking to restrict Huaxia’s future access to fusion fuel 303 306 307.

By the time Huaxia unveils Kunlun Cloud, North America is building six Poseidon rockets and is estimated to be capable of six launches per month, delivering supplies to Earth orbit and the Moon 310.

Lunar Rivalry

North American lunar bases occupy high-value ilmenite and Helium-3 areas. Gao Yuan’s visit to the bases aboard the Kunlun Short Sword is framed as a delivery of Huaxia specialties, though the gifts cause a biological-hazard alert after pungent foods are opened in the sealed habitat 329 330.

Huaxia subsequently establishes the first marker for Changan City at a location between four North American lunar bases, threatening to divide their positions geographically 330.

Relationships

• Huaxia — Primary geopolitical rival; North American authorities and allied industries seek to slow Huaxia’s technological rise through sanctions, dumping, monopolies, and space-resource competition 99 127 246 306.
• Kunlun Group — Main corporate-technological opponent; its advances prompt North American commercial mergers, military involvement, and coordinated Western responses 86 165 286.
• Gao Yuan — Central rival figure whose technological releases repeatedly force North American policy, industrial, and military reassessments 94 273 299.
• Elon Musk — Leading North American representative in automotive, satellite, lunar, and broader technological countermeasures against Huaxia 129 268 273 307.
• Pentagon / Leon — Military authority that takes direct control over North America’s technological response to Kunlun Group 286 288.
• Western Automotive Alliance — Alliance hosted in Los Angeles and led publicly by Musk; combines automakers, oil suppliers, shipbuilders, and shipping companies against Kunlun’s solid-state battery technology 129.
• Anglo-Saxon Group — Broader Western bloc associated with North America in efforts to preserve technological and geopolitical dominance 165 303 317.

Trivia

• North America’s product exclusions create enough demand that smuggling Kunlun sneakers and shirts becomes a major US–Mexico border business 139.
• The North American lunar base’s air-purification system enters a highest-level biological-hazard alert after Gao Yuan’s gifts include opened durian 330.
• North America’s space advantage is acknowledged even by Gao Yuan before the debut of Huaxia’s nuclear-powered spacecraft, particularly in heavy-lift launch capacity and accumulated aerospace experience 299.
