I think I've got a rough idea of what's going on. It's late stage capitalism. The legit kind. The kind where there really is no government, just corporate control.
At some point, America was attacked. With the american people experiencing battles on their front lawns, something had to be done. One company, Sentre, had the idea to set up a hardwired VR network, and supplied the general public with headsets. The idea was to simply remove the horrors of war with augmented reality. The second, more secret plan was to utilize hive mind processing to accelerate technological advancement and industrial growth for winning the war.
This tactic was too successful. Not only did Sentre manage to win the war, it managed to completely consume every last thing that made the USA. The only thing left was the Pacifica State, a country controlled by Sentre.
I think Sentre has been gone for a long time. Or at least it's leaders. The only control left is the Guardians. AI powered by hive mind processing, originally designed to look friendly and inviting, but now decayed to something of nightmares.
As for the american people? Some chose to fight. And others chose to decay with the Guardians.
