The Post-Second Impact world |
The United States of America was badly damaged, as was much of the rest of the world, by the events of Second Impact. Still, it seems to have survived in fairly descent shape and is one of the more powerful post-Impact nations. Nerv-01 and Nerv-02 are located in the United States.
In Episode 07, it is mentioned that the United States was reluctant to commit to the construction of more Evangelion Units due to their extreme cost, though it was felt that they would eventually come around. However, apparently the United States' government was very impressed at the power exhibited by Eva-00, Eva-01, and Eva-02 in their early battles against the Angels, and eventually demanded the right to build Evangelion Unit-03 and Evangelion Unit-04.
Eva-03 was constructed at Nerv-01 in Massachusetts, while Eva-04 was constructed at Nerv-02 in Nevada (possibly at Area 51). Unfortunately, an experiment to install an artificial S² Engine in Eva-04 resulted in an accident in which the entire Nerv-02 base vanished in a flash, resulting in the loss of everything in an 89 kilometer radius and thousands of personnel. The United States government panicked, and demanded that the completed Eva Unit-03 be immediately transported off of its soil from Nerv-01 to Japan.
A set of Magi supercomputers is located in Massachusetts, probably at Nerv-01 base. There may also have been a set of Magi supercomputers at Nerv-02 prior to its disappearance.
The United States took part in constructing the Mass Production model Evangelion series, though it is unknown which ones were produced there.
The USA is "represented" on the Human Instrumentality Committee by the member with the green-colored holographic display.
Notes
- The United States is one of the few locations outside of Japan actually seen on-screen in the series, though very briefly: in Episode 17 satellite images are shown of Nerv-02's disappearance in Nevada, and there is a very brief shot of Eva-03's transport taking off from the Nerv-01 airstrip in Massachusetts at the beginning of Episode 18.
