New United States

The New United States is a region of North America that reformed after The Fall and is located along the eastern coast. It has a personality more like the /older/ United States; they're aiming for early-colonial in some senses, a kind of dignity. Not that it necessarily works, but they're not like LATMA. 
The United States are now only called the United States by residents of NewUSA, and sometimes by other countries, but this is fading. To residents they're designated by Metropolitan Areas. These Areas are huge, sprawling territories, but in most cases only small parts of those areas are settled and defended. These networked bastions are patrolled by independently contracted police forces, governed by groups within the cities, surrounded by well-patrolled border areas that separate the cities from the barely populated, outlaw-ruled wastelands. Within the cities, buildings are often crumbling and old but at the same time regularly updated with the newest technology, juxtaposing the decrepit and incredible in ways that make the bleak city almost supernatural and ghostly. The MAs are connected by the (expensive) cross-continental TUBE lines.
The east coast from New York down to Florida - NewBos, LEC, and UEC - is considered the "United States" by its residents, but is not necessarily acknowledged as such by anyone else. They are independent political areas, taken over by the most powerful Corps within them between 2011 and 2039. The New United States exists as a fiction. They hold elections which always elect the representatives and president that the corps want. The forms are followed and people point and say "We are still a democracy", but it's a fixed game and anyone with two brain cells knows it. They do, however, have more 'suburban sprawl' than any other Metropolitan Area on the continent.
==Additional notes:==
Salt Lake was destroyed in the last battle that humanity was witness to during the Reconciliation War. The death toll has never been officially calculated. The destruction of the city and the inability of the US government to send any assistance at the time is considered to be one of the major causes of the withdrawal of the US government to the east coast of North America.
Las Vegas is a trading city of some kind.
New Orleans is underwater and some of the surrounding area may be a Sabbat stronghold.
