Arizona

Arizona was a region on the North American continent of Earth. This was a state in the nation-state known as the United States of America. The Grand Canyon was a notable Arizona landmark. 

In 1881, a famous gunfight between the Earps and Clantons occurred at the OK Corral in the Arizona city of Tombstone. The event was reenacted in 2268, after pertinent information was pulled from the mind of James T. Kirk, whose ancestors settled the Wild West, by the telepathic Melkots. 

During the late-1990s, an ancestor of Chakotay's was a school teacher in Arizona. During the USS Voyager's accidental transport to 1996, Chakotay considered looking the individual up. 

During this time, a shuttle piloted by Chakotay and B'Elanna Torres crash-landed in Arizona, where they were captured by paranoid "freedom fighters" believing the two to be members of a malevolent government force. They went down approximately thirty kilometers northeast of the state capital, Phoenix. 

While discussing the prospect of leaving Voyager to live among a group of Humans settled in the Delta Quadrant in 2371, Chakotay reminded himself that he could never do it knowing that he would be giving up such prospects as seeing the sunrise over the Arizona desert, or swimming in the Gulf of Mexico on a summer day. 

In an alternate timeline in which Nazi Germany had invaded the United States, as of 1944 Arizona was controlled by American forces.
