Box legends embody industrial revolution and invention, a lot of the history of which involves American names (Edison, Whitney, Tesla, Graham Bell), and US is a modern nation whose entire history (minus the natives) is intrinsically tied to the age of science
Geography/Cities taking inspiration from US as a whole (note the relative location on map and climate/culture):
Pokewood (Hollywood), Virbank (Seattle-esque, based on grunge, weather, docks), Lentimas (southwest, not in the right area), Undella/Humilau (Florida, summer homes), Nimbasa (Las Vegas, Disneyworld, over-the-top tourism hot spots in general)
Geo/cities taking inspiration from NY/tristate:
Nacrene (gentrified regions of Brooklyn, soho), Castelia/Entralink (obvious), port cities everywhere, bridges, subway, huge shopping mall, Anville Town (subway yard), Unity Tower (UN), Liberty Island
Black and White were subtle. They included some elements representative of the whole of the Americas and what they represent, and some nice allusions to the US and NYC. In total, they get the the broad strokes of America across without just trying to simulate.
