No merge by spelling was applied across distinct controlled types.

Reviewed source observation locators: destroyer-003:united-states (witness:00000007:ch01:p0029); destroyer-004:united-states (witness:00000009:ch04:p0053); destroyer-005:united-states (witness:00000012:ch07:p0007); destroyer-010:united-states (witness:00000027:ch01:p0141).

destroyer-016:b16-united-states links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000045:ch02:p0027).

destroyer-018:b18-united-states links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000051:ch01:p0038; witness:00000051:ch01:p0039).

destroyer-035:united-states: Lead checked the recurring United States referent in primary context: Country in which CURE and CIA operate and where the Russian premier visits. The earlier observation has compatible place scope: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier. Source-specific assertions and uncertainty remain work scoped. (witness:00000102:ch01:p0001; witness:00000102:ch02:p0066; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch01:p0042).

destroyer-028:united-states: Lead contextual comparison supports the recurring United States referent: Country repeatedly discussed in relation to CURE, the State Department, and the Ship of States. Earlier compatible observation: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier.. Preserve the observed source label, scope and attributed claims. (witness:00000081:ch01:p0080; witness:00000081:ch02:p0087; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch01:p0042).

destroyer-029:b29-united-states: Lead contextual comparison supports the recurring United States referent: Country targeted by the poison plot. Earlier compatible observation: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier.. Source labels, narrative scope and attributed claims remain separate. (witness:00000084:ch01:p0132; witness:00000084:ch07:p0064; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch01:p0042).

destroyer-037:united-states: Lead contextual comparison supports the recurring United States referent: Country whose President requests CURE investigate the threat and whose trade policy is discussed. Earlier compatible observation: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier.. Source labels, narrative scope and attributed claims remain separate. (witness:00000108:ch01:p0174; witness:00000108:ch03:p0095; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch01:p0042).

destroyer-038:united-states: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for United States: Country in the description of Bay City’s density and national-government references. This is compatible with the existing united-states subject (Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier.). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000111:ch01:p0004; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-040:united-states: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for United States: Country whose Olympic team is targeted by the conspiracy. This is compatible with the existing united-states subject (Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier.). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000117:ch01:p0145; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-027:united-states: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: America here is the explicitly U.S. country of CURE and the Americans; same existing country, not continent. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000078:ch01:p0026; witness:00000078:ch02:p0049; witness:00000078:ch02:p0073; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-042:united-states: Lead compared identifying source passages and roles: Country where CURE’s work and Tulsa Torrent’s experimental tree farm take place. Prior subject: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier. Context supports one subject; preserve attribution, observed forms and scene versus mention scopes. (witness:00000123:ch01:p0006; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-056:united-states: Lead compared the identifying passages and roles in Book 56 and the prior canonical observation: Country whose nuclear arsenal is targeted by the World Master’s plan. Prior context: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier. These support the same named subject; retain each book’s distinct actions, mention scope and attribution. (witness:00000162:ch02:p0007; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-057:united-states: Lead compared identifying passages and roles; the shared subject is supported while scene, broadcast, imagined-video, attributed-legend and model-level scopes remain separate. Current: Country Quantril intends to control and the government for which CURE is said to operate. Prior: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier. (witness:00000165:ch02:p0075; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-058:united-states: The named geographic subject matches the prior source context; city, state, country and organizational scopes remain distinct. (witness:00000168:ch02:p0029).

destroyer-052:united-states: Lead compared source contexts identifying the same geographic subject; neighboring sites, fictional organizations and city/state scopes remain distinct. (witness:00000150:ch01:p0105).

destroyer-045:united-states: Lead compared the named subject and role with the prior source context. Country where the Army bases and the planned coup are located. (witness:00000132:ch02:p0042).

destroyer-053:united-states: Identifying context and compatible prior role compared by lead: Country whose government operates CURE and whose history the time travelers affect. Prior: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier. Retain observed form, source attribution and mention scope. (witness:00000153:ch02:p0003; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-054:united-states: Lead compared identifying primary contexts and compatible roles for United States: Country affected by the coffee epidemic and source of CURE. Prior subject: Country whose President and CURE seek a peaceful visit by the Chinese Premier. Book-specific facts and uncertainties remain scoped; the join establishes the referent, not blanket canon for all its depictions. (witness:00000156:ch01:p0071; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-070:united-states: Same country referent; separate the place from its President and government. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000204:ch01:p0130; witness:00000204:ch13:p0030; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).

destroyer-077:united-states: Explicit country identity and narrative role match prior U.S. country/place observations. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000225:ch05:p0003; witness:00000225:ch03:p0065; witness:00000174:ch02:p0050; witness:00000174:ch02:p0054).

destroyer-079:united-states: The place record refers to the United States in both works; the CURE/government and military setting is consistent. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000231:ch01:p0003; witness:00000231:ch19:p0046; witness:00000012:ch07:p0007).

destroyer-076:united-states: The same country-level referent is named in the current geopolitical plot. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000222:ch20:p0098; witness:00000222:ch11:p0087; witness:00000162:ch02:p0007; witness:00000009:ch04:p0053).

destroyer-067:united-states: Both refer to the same real country; Book 67 explicitly names the President of the United States and locates major events there (ch05:p0108, ch16:p0072), while Book 3 names the country in a federal-government setting (ch01:p0029). Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000195:ch05:p0108; witness:00000195:ch16:p0072; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
