When I view Engagement analytics by country, the line for the United States alone is conspicuously absent, despite forming a majority share of my playerbase. However, the statistics from the United States is taken into consideration when forming the “total” line.
Do note that other analytics which utilize data based on the player’s country do provide statistics for the United States alone, e.g. Audience > Country.

Expected behavior
I expect to see a separate, distinct line on the graph for the United States. This has been the case in the past- the United States is by and large the top country for my experience.
Navigation: Analytics > Engagement > View = Top Countries
It appears as if this issue extends to other analytics, including those under Retention- excluding the W1 Retention metric, which does include a separate line for the United States.
Top Countries is derived from the last 3 days of usage + some fixed values + a requirement for a minimum number of users for each metric for privacy reasons. We have internally confirmed that US data does exist.
For your Experience, your country lines are going in-and-out on different charts due to the logic from the above.
The Audience page has different privacy considerations since it is over a very large time frame.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to modify this behaviour due to privacy reasons, but as your Experience grows over the country-by-country minimums, this behaviour will converge and stabilize.
It is interesting to see where my player base is located geographically, though I wouldn’t make any significant changes to my experience other than considering localization (however, there are already separate analytics for language.)
I would say my interest in these analytics is mostly out of curiosity.
