It's not that the worldbuilding itself is so very creative and unique because it's tied in with the story and characters, its that the game is making excellent thematic use of a mostly unoriginal setting.

The Coalition is not a deeply thought out setting or a creatively crafted political entity. They're a generic world superpower that represents the forces of liberal capitalism that the game actually wants to explore. They're only fleshed out insomuch as it's SO similar to the real world...
that you can point out the window and go "yeah, it's probably like that." The whole game is like that. Setting and worldbuilding are just means to an end that need to exist to support the political and personal themes
