Colorado

Colorado is the 38th of the 50 states in the United States of America. It was located in the Southwestern region.

History
Colorado was procured as United States territory from the French in the early 1800s as part of the Louisiana Purchase by then-President of the United States Thomas Jefferson. It eventually acheived statehood in 1876, under the order of president Ulysses S. Grant. Because of the year it became a state also marking the centennial year for the United States (it being founded in 1776), it was also given the nickname of the Centennial State.

During the Cold War, NORAD was established at Cheyenne Mountain, as a means to protect the base from a nuclear strike. During the 1974 Peace Walker Incident, NORAD ended up picking up data that indicated that the Soviet Union launched several missiles at America, actually fake launch data supplied to Peace Walker for the Peace Walker Project, which it leaked to NORAD when Coldman was killed. It was also well known for having a lot of military bases and military-related developmental projects, including Peterson Air Force Base and, until it was shut down in 1992 for harming the environment, the Rocky Flats Plant.

In 2016, thanks to legislation enacted by then-state senator Steven Armstrong, Colorado's state government had to slash most of its budget. This eventually led to World Marshal to run Denver as the unofficial government.

Denver
The capital of the state.

Peterson Air Force Base
Peterson Air Force Base was an air force base located in Colorado Springs, just a drive away from the capital city of Denver. It was named after 1st Lt. Edward Joseph Peterson, who had died in a plane crash at the base. The base is home to the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), AFSPC's 21st Space Wing (21 SW), Army Space Command, and the Air Force Reserve Command's 302d Airlift Wing (302 AW). The 21 SW serves as host unit for Peterson AFB.

In 2018, after Raiden raided World Marshal's HQ in Denver to rescue several brain units from World Marshal and Desperado's Sears Program, Peterson Air Force Base, under unofficial channels from World Marshal, launched two MQ-320s without authorization in an attempt to stop Raiden and Dr. Wilhelm Voigt from escaping Denver.

Cheyenne Mountain
Cheyenne Mountain was a mountain in Colorado. Underneath its surface was the NORAD base.

Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs was the home rule city for El Paso county, located 65 miles south of Denver.

Rocky Flats Plant
The Rocky Flats Plant was a nuclear production facility created in 1952, which was responsible for production of the plutonium thermal detonators for nuclear weapons. It eventually was shut down late into the 20th century due to pollution charges.
