=== Military, law enforcement and crime ===
The President is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces. The General of the U.S. Military is appointed by the President, and the General also serves as the head of the Department of Defense, headquartered in Virginia. The U.S. Military is comprised by three branches, which are made up of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. The United States military budget is currently unknown.

Military service in the U.S. is fully optional, and forced conscription is prohibited by the constitution. In July 2023, the U.S. Military reported 16 official full-time soldiers. The U.S. has several military bases nationwide, and two official bases abroad - one land base in Norway and one naval port in Lithuanian Gibraltar. The U.S. Military is generally viewed as one of the strongest in the world, showing their success in the battlefield numerous times. So far, the U.S. has participated in 14 wars (either directly or via volunteers), out of which it has lost only 2 (both against the UASR). The American-Arstotzkan practice raids in 2021 ended up with a close American victory of 3-2.

The U.S. Navy created the world's first movable Ship Technology in 2021, and has used them in Naval operations ever since. It has a total fleet of six LTC-s, corvettes, destroyers and aircraft carriers stationed in the ports of American cities. The Air Force has conducted operations in many wars, and maintains air defense across the United States, while also providing air support to the Army's ground forces.

The Coast Guard and the American Police are administered by the Department of Homeland Security. All Police members are also members of the Military, so they are otherwise able to conduct military operations if needed. The U.S. Police has successfully conducted over ten major operations since its creation, and they cooperate heavily with the U.S. Military, able to conduct each other's operations interchangeably.

In the now-defunct crime index leaderboard, the U.S. was generally viewed as one of the more safe nations, with a crime index of roughly 0.10 to 0.25 depending on the date. In May 2023, it was ranked 5th out of 11 nations in terms of safety. The most commonly reported crime in the U.S. has been murder, and the leading cause of homicide in the U.S. has been through firearms.
