        Yes. The United States of America is, itself a federated state that also represents the fifty states. It’s why we have a state department and a Secretary of State in the White House.

      There was a YouTube video with, I think action lab, where they tested this weapon on a smaller scale with sand castles.

      The experiment failed overall because of the difficulty of aiming the payload and anticipating the correalis effect
