Union State Federation

The Union State Federation (U.S.F.), also referred to simply as North America, was a state capitalist autocracy state that existed in the region of the same name from 2024 to 2061. Nominally a union of multiple equal national Union State Republics, its government and economy were highly centralized, primarily operated and run from the semi-autonomous Greater L.A., where most administrative, political and military decisions were made and undertaken.
==History==
===American Civil War II===
Following what many historians identify as American Civil War II, or the 'Lesser American War,' after a turbulent 2020 and 2024 U.S. presidential election in which no clear winner emerged, the President at the time is assassinated and the country descends into chaos. Former-Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton was elected Governor of New York shortly prior to this and rapidly expanded her power, arguably to the point that the City's highest office eclipsed that of an unusually weak President.
As the larger states including Texas, California, New York and Florida - and groups of states such as the Virginias and the Carolinas - gained increasingly more autonomy and power over the rest of the country, the United States as we knew it eventually ceased to exist. Instead, a lose federation of constituent "United Nation-States of America," so to speak, would take its place. The U.S. continued to be referred to as the U.S., at least officially, for a time. And despite the civil unrest unfolding in the New York metropolitan area and among prowling militia groups, business continued as usual. This ends as Long Island's bid for independence from the U.S. is recognized by Australia, the UK and China, the former a Major Non-NATO Ally, and the latter two P5 Security Councilors. In what is in time come to be referred to as the American State, secessionist sentiment spreads across New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, as well as to parts of Philadelphia and Upstate New York. This emboldens secessionists in Canada and Mexico as well, and the latter fares much much worse than the former.
As early as the 1990s the U.S. had been smuggling weapons to Mexican drug cartels under the auspices of ATF and the DHS. Particularly during the period between 2006 and 2011, when the U.S. agents allowed thousands of guns to "walk" into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Under the Mérida Initiative, U.S. law enforcement and intelligence had contributed to the conditions that have allowed secretive transnational organized crime and cartels to buy off the Mexican police, and empower the Mexican military to a position above the Mexican government itself in many ways. From this point forward, drug cartels ran Mexico. Secessionist uprisings became commonplace, beginning with the 1994 Zapatista uprising and its aftermath - which involved an acceleration of militarism by Mexican authorities. Following on the heels of the 1994 uprising, the U.S. accelerated involvement with the Mexican military under the label of "Drug Training," which was truly about counterinsurgency. This focus on insurgencies enabled and accelerated the cartels' control over regional politics and law enforcement, and allowed arms-dealer politics to rule over regional politics and law enforcement in the U.S. and both developments would fuel the autonomous and secessionist fronts in both countries, which would inevitably lead to the formation of the Union State of North America.
====Mexican Drug War====
During the English Rebellion in the 2020s, NATO added the Mexican Drug Cartels, particularly the Los Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartels, to the list of designated terrorist organizations. They also noted that U.S.-based PMCs were participating in "anti-narcotics" operations in Colombia and Central America, and siphoning funds from the U.S. Intelligence Community, primarily the NSA and CIA. These organizations are labelled as being the prime cause of corruption in the U.S.-Mexican governments and organized crime, which results in unprecedented polarization in American politics and further invigorates secessionist fervor in the U.S. states of California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Wyoming and West Virginia, which in turn sparks a counter-movement of Pro-Autonomy Federalism spearheaded by the U.S. states of Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, Arizona, Massachusetts, Colorado and the Tennessee Valley Authority - who declare the right to annex said states, eliminate any and all threats to their citizenry, as well as neighboring communities, and declare the right to protect their territory from domestic enemies of the United States of America. This movement expands over the next year to also include the smaller states such as Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, Indiana, Idaho, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, some of which had already undergone transformations of their own at this time. Texan-backed Oklahoman White Nationalists bomb the insurgent Oklahoman government and unleash a campaign of terror which eventually spreads to radical right-wing Republican Kansas. Earlier that year, Special Operations Command, SAC, the FBI and national guard spearheaded by the Republic Secretariat of Illinois, Michigan and Missouri take out the Texan puppet regimes in Oklahoma and Kansas with SEAL Team raids and precision air strikes on militant compounds located in Tulsa and Johnson County and arrest all government officials associated with the Kansan and Oklahoman governments, putting Texas on the list of U.S. adversaries which it now shared with Russia, which places the territory formerly afforded to the two governments to the authority in Lincoln, Nebraska. The government of the A.S. actively campaigns for not only the full sovereignty of California and Texas, but independence movements across the Deep South, New York, Kentucky, Iowa, Pennsylvania and even the Republicans in Oklahoma that are discovered to be White Nationalist Neo-Nazis. But despite the particularly-pronounced volume of this vocal minority, a majority of Americans and Mexicans opposed a unification, with Mexico in particular still struggling with their own secessionists and fallout of their President endorsing the Texan government's recalcitrant rhetoric towards NATO.
Although there were mass demonstrations calling for the independence of the A.S. in Belgium, Quebec, Northern Cyprus, Padania, the South Island, Balochistan, Bougainville, Somaliland, Catalonia the Basques, Central America, the Donbass, China, Australia, Britain and the Arab world, Canada and the Mexican people - spearheaded by the left-wing EZLN - oppose the PMC-Cartel-run secessionist states, and all politicians who benefit from their existence. With the US intelligence community's role in the rise of these narco-states exposed by NATO, public faith in the U.S. government in Washington - by this point in time, unclear and highly-contested - plummets. This allows the Communist Party of Cuba, and their ally in Guatemala - Enrique Salazar, to hijack this discontent in Texas, California, and A.S. against the U.S. and the emerging pro-A.S. insurrectionists throughout the country that wanted full-blown secession. 
From the ashes of the conflict arises a totalitarian regime that would come to rule Mexico with an iron fist. The regime emerges from a union between the governments in San Salvador, Los Angeles and Guatemala City at a formal meeting in Cuba in early 2025. 
At the second meeting a year later between Salazar, Clinton and Cruz in 2026 formally all-but-establishes the independence of North America and the A.S. from the United States of America.
===American Cold War===
The Atlantic State - although by this point in time still an unrecognized secessionist movement within the United States - would in time fuse New Jersey and secessionists in Manhattan, the Delaware and the District of Columbia and influence the increased autonomy of the Los Angeles area, Arizona, Illinois and Utah, thereafter joining NATO in opposition to the Clinton-led secessionists. L.A. would reunify with the secessionist territories of the Baja Californian peninsula - which would later inspire independence and autonomy movements in Yucatan, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Veracruz, New Leon, Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas - effectively toppling Mexico. The response to the Mexican President's appeasement of President Kerry is disastrous, and results in Guatemala and L.A. occupying large swathes of Northwestern and Southeastern Mexico. The government is overthrown and replaced with a Pro-Guatemalan military government, the current government in Guatemala City led by President Enrique Salazar, a native-born Guatemalan of European descent. All secessionist states, except Baja California, are unrecognized and the secessionist movements are categorized as criminals and even terrorists in the case of the Zacatecas uprising. With Guatemala, California, and Mexico - supported by El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Cuba and Brazil - signing the Articles of Allegiance, establishing the North American Alliance (retrospectively simply referred to as "North America"), a single military force is erected that all the member-states would share and be retroactively united underneath. Although these countries' attempts to form a strong military resistance to the Texas juggernaut had noble intent for the most part, it would result in the Chileans, Brazilians and Atlantic State merely utilizing this into simply another imperialist push of regional, intercontinental military aggression. Most of these countries would in time fall under Chilean, Cuban or Brazilian purview, or be annexed by the North American superstate.
Although dominant in the region, the home-field advantage topped with the technological and stealth edge of the U.S. air force offer more than a match for the heavily-equipped North American-backed paramilitary and armed forces of the countries of Mexico, Central America and Cuba - despite their superiority in man- and firepower. The North American state was spearheaded by Arizona and consisted of Utah, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua and most of Southern California. The Upper Midwest spearheaded by Minnesota invades the Dakotas as well as the Omaha-Lincoln area of Nebraska following clashes between rural militias and urban paramilitary over the 2024 election. While Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio, Utah and Texas lay claim to British Columbia, the Yukon, the Ozarks, Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma respectively after internal conflict - with the U.S. emerging victorious in the former three conflicts, and insurgent secessionist paramilitary persisting in the latter two and emerging in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Iowa, Wyoming, Montana and Michigan... The unrecognized neo-confederate state of 'Dixon' emerges from the former states of Louisiana and parts of Arkansas and Mississippi, and the states of Ohio and Illinois are effectively ejected from the Union after sponsoring far-right terrorist organizations while California, Minnesota and Florida change control frequently between the U.S. and secessionists. The NYC-area Atlantic State remains fickle - and non-allied - for the most part.
The rise of Fascist Chilean and far-right extremism in the region, and the political crisis involving the CIA, UK, UN and Italy immediately hurls the government into further chaos. The Capitol is closed to meetings, making it impossible for Washington to legislate. The U.S. suspends its NATO membership as President Kerry begins a nationwide crackdown on dissent and Muslim populations. Kerry’s withdrawal of the U.S. from NATO brings attention to his worryingly close relationship to businessman Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, the Atlantic State and Italian President De Luca. There is also murmuring among governors, local and U.S. state government that the governments of the anti-NATO North and Latin American, Catholic-majority countries were cooperating with Trump and controlling Kerry and the AS to ban the interim administration in Baltimore involving the UN, unshackle Wall Street from their surveillance, and balkanize the United States. All across Europe, war drills are ran in preparation for a potential direct attack on NATO Europe by the intercontinental power bloc – Chile, Brazil, Cuba and the Union State representing the most threatening adversary since Nazi Germany.
 The unrest in D.C. and Maryland reverberates throughout the AS, sending the unrecognized American country into a political crisis of its own. North America offers to recognize the independence of the A.S., should it agree to join North America's 'Federation of Union State Republics,'. The U.S. and NATO respond with outrage, and amid the international diplomatic melee Maryland's Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area declares support of the United Nations and the United States, despite being claimed as the new capitol of the A.S. and the United States (similar to Berlin during the division of West and East Germany during the Cold War), and under the iron-fist autocratic rule of Kerry and New York City. Most of the physical opposition is undertaken by the Independence Front and armed backers of Constitutionalism, particularly the Michigan Militia Corps., Missouri Militia,Citizen Militia, the Idaho Light-Foot Militia, III% Movement, Oath-Keepers and the Patriot and Christian Patriot movements. Although, when it became evident that the U.S. was siding with the UN and NATO peacekeeping on US soil, a large number of the Oath Keepers and Patriots would side with Kerry, the Atlantic State and Co-Sector against the US Loyalists, resulting in massive infighting and a "civil war within a civil war", leading to practically-indiscernible fault lines of loyalty and faction at times as the region descended into chaos. The North American-backed AZBR-Autodefensas in New Mexico and Texas Militia led by Gov.-Gen. George W. Bush would frequently engage in border skirmishes and play both sides of the state government and military in New Mexico, while the Pennsylvanian Military Reserve and the New York Light Foots also experienced periodic internal conflict and defections. Despite California's status as a U.S. state was at this point contested - at best - and the close proximity of the new rogue state, these events proved that the true threat lay within the U.S. very borders. And the evidence was beginning to point to the other American state that recently attained a tenuous independence recognition itself.
After the attack on Jeju Island, the growing threat from Russia and the Union State prompts a coalition in Westminster led by the Scottish delegation, with support from Ireland, to press Britain to relocate 30% of its Air Force, granting Scotland over 290 aircraft (85 planes and 131 helicopters) total. Scotland also gets a third of the UK’s Tanks (134), Armored Fighting Vehicles (1,962), SPG’s (29), Towed Artillery (45), Rocket Projectors (13), as well as 24 surface vessels including a Queen Elizabeth-class supercarrier (with another 6 advanced corvettes under-construction), north to British bases in Scotland at Military Bases Lossiemouth, Faslane and Clyde and the entirety of the British reserve forces are brought online, bringing the total number of active military forces in the United Kingdom to 240,050 soldiers – including Scottish forces based overseas in Canada who express solidarity in the mutual defense of Scotland from Russia, China or pan-Latin ultra-nationalists – and of that a total of 27,680 soldiers pledge allegiance to Scotland and Great Britain (along with a willing-and-able fit manpower of nearly a million), marking a revival in English Ultranationalism a decade after the Brexit referendum to leave the EU shook the foundations of the UK. The presence of a militarily-stable Scotland in possession of such a formidable military force – including the Scottish-run Vanguard-class submarines part of the Trident nuclear programme – elicits fear and paranoia amongst many elite circles in Westminster and the Greater London area at the thought of Scotland attempting to assert their independence from Britain by force – which at this point they were very-well able to do so.
==== Caribbean Crisis====
Saber-rattling in the Caribbean between Texas and Communist Cuba prompts a naval standoff between North America and the unrecognized Republic of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico, in which North America and Texas become directly involved against the United States, the latter of which asserts neither has a claim to the region. The U.S. - already stretched thin across the Eastern Seaboard and into the Middle East and Eastern Europe - is able to muster only scattered air strikes on the Island of Cozumel off the coast of Mexico, where Texan forces were establishing artillery and rocketry, likely in an attempt to utilize a nuclear weapon. The Caribbean Campaign involving the Attack on Cozumel and the Battle of Isla de la Juventud, soon sees the Caribbean countries taken advantage of in their state of shock, by imperialist forces in Brasilia, and their secret allies in Baltimore, Los Angeles and New York City. After this information comes to light through the special prosecutors' Kerry-Clinton investigation, ties are severed between the United States and North America, as tensions escalate to the point of ignition along the Californian-U.S. Border.
==Mexican–Texan invasion of Central America==
In 2027, the North Americans made one of their final major pushes in the war effort. A massing of Texan military contractor equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles and an army of over 500,000 active duty, reserve and paramilitary primarily from Mexico and Texas begin pouring into Eastern Guatemala. As predicted, the North Americans invade southern Belize in a conflict that results in the deaths of 200,000 - nearly 50% of the country's population - which constitutes in the eyes of many a genocide.
A month later, Mexican and Texan forces invade Honduras and a Guatemalan–Salvadoran intervention in the Second Nicaraguan Civil War backed by Texas a week after that precipitates violence in Central America. The massing of Texan and Mexican forces in Guatemala is used to strike at U.S. military bases in Honduras and Curaçao, exacerbating tensions with the Netherlands and thus NATO, as well as US-backed rebels in Nicaragua and the Lesser Antilles.
===October 7, Unknown Year===
Certain elements within the Department of Defense, lying just outside of the jurisdiction of the Joint Chiefs of Staff through cleverly navigated loopholes, go public with the DOD's answer to the North American infiltration of the U.S. Government via President Kerry, and Moscow through Vice President Trump: the Omega Revolution, and their paramilitary arm – Revolutionary Coalition Network – “RECON”. Initially an international intelligence, paramilitary and espionage organization founded in October of 1774, RECON stumbled upon a secret interlocking deep-state of invisible borders – existing between ultra-wealthy from the financial, military, and political sectors – that essentially implicated the three nations of the triangular power structure of the Cold War era (China, the USSR, and America) in an undeniable scandal in which all 3 participated in financial lobbying between these power brokers across the world (primarily in the West) played against each other by the NSA and Russian Government. During the opening months of 1975, RECON narrowly saved the United States from being destroyed by Soviet nukes (thanks to the assistance of the British government). Between 1963 and 1975, RECON was a disavowed unit of the Pentagon after unearthing this conspiracy. However, after saving the US from extinction a dozen years after their disavowal, the Pentagon decided it was only proper to reestablish RECON a military and managerial heavyweight in the sector, with special powers that could challenge the Intelligence Community and/or the Joint Chiefs of Staff should they accumulate too many that made it impossible for the Legislative branch and Supreme Court to adequately challenge them. The Pentagon and Congress are contacted by UN Human Rights and Operations Officers and a Europol team regarding their eyewitness accounts of a conspiracy being carried out – in conjunction with West Germany and the Imperial Family – under NATO nations and the United States under Presidents Kerry and Trump, as well as the Joint-Chiefs (the latter of which was beginning to resemble a Junta), and that the upper echelons of the organization had been infiltrated by Interpol (which in turn had been infiltrated by the Russians and Koreans via Interpol and finance respectively since the 1960’s) in an attempt by the Imperialists to break the EU and hijack NATO’s disillusionment with Atlantic–U.S. President Kerry and utilize the Alliance against the UN.
On October 11 the RECON Ambassador to the Capitol proposes that the US Government investigate NATO and the first ‘Nations of America’ summit, postulating that the NSA and – to a lesser-extent, the IC had infiltrated the bloc and were backed by Russia, pro-DPRK militants within the Communist Party and the Nationalist Party of Allied America against the UN. The proposition goes through Parliament but is vetoed by the President. This sparks a petition in the US to petition the UN to intervene in the "North American–U.S. Conflict," before NATO intervenes, which begins to split the armed forces down the middle, leading to many defecting to such paramilitary organizations like the NYPD, and DHS – both directly controlled by the NSA. This, however, aids RECON in their efforts to push out the current Trump-loyal Joint-Chiefs, and eventually they succeed.
Realizing that they will have to work with the UN, RECON leads a diplomatic mission to the UN General Assembly concerning the complaints of UN officers in question to the Pentagon. Throughout the next several years, the UN Secretariat begins a counter-movement to the Chinese-led initiative to ‘ostensibly dominate’ smaller sovereign nations. This eventually leads to a crisis which results in the United States seat on the Council being contested, after the replacement of Russia with Japan and the Pentagon, Congress, and a record-number of the American Populace protest President Kerry and Vice President Clinton, the latter of which becomes the power behind the throne in the wake of the aging Kerry’s ailing physical stamina.
Coincidentally – or not – the Atlantic American State Union of Maryland, New Jersey and Long Island is formally recognized as independent; Secretary-General Hillary Clinton the official Head of State of the A.S., with New York City becoming its Capital. Many people initially suspect the Independence Front to be behind this, but when Hillary Clinton declares herself ‘Vice President of the Atlantic State', the I.F. immediately realizes that their movement had been hijacked by the metropolitan elite and that Hillary Clinton, Donald and Ivanka Trump – along with many others – were working together in the interests of pro-Kerry Texan oil barons and globalists to balkanize the United States and give the country its own version of 1989.
The IF contacts RECON, and the game begins.

===Frozen War===
====World War III====
November 14th – The Nuclear Bombing of Colorado Springs was at first attributed to terrorism, but later found out to be Grey Wolves extremists with assistance from the Belarusian KGB. Over 200,000 people are killed instantaneously and another 100,000 by the Wars’ end, the nation is paralyzed. Before anything can be done to alleviate the absence of NORAD and air reconnaissance, with roughly half of America’s military in North Africa fighting against the Serbs and Syrian Arabs backed by China, Oman and Russia alongside an international effort to curtail the damage of the bombing’s fallout, literally beyond the radar, 5 carriers, the 1,100-foot-long, 100,000-ton "Project 23000 E" "Shtorm" supercarrier from Russia, the Brazilian helicopter carrier NAM Atlântico and a strike group of dozens of other Eurasian and Latin American warships of various class show up along the horizon beyond Naval Station Norfolk, supported by an air fleet of many warplanes belonging to Latin America, Azerbaijan-Bukhara, China and Russia. All now flew the flag of the United Nations. The sleeping giant is, poetically-speaking, slain in his slumber. The flagship, the dreadnought battleship formerly known as the Peruvian battlecruiser "Almirante Grau," and now known by the Kazakhs as the infamous Темір Қошқар ("Iron Ram"), launches a missile bombardment – with accompanying strikes from the carrier strike group – effectively neutralizing the base’s and docked carriers’ shoreline and air defense systems in one fell swoop. Following this – a joint-squadron assault of Russian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Brazilian, Chinese, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Turkmen and Uzbek air forces, fighters, bombers, and attack helicopters bombard, and destroy, the four docked supercarriers, and over the course of a half-hour (even amid a hastily thrown-together counterattack from Norfolk forces stationed there and abroad), with staggeringly-high levels of ballistics support from the surface battalion (nearly 300 ships “spilling” out of the canal, able to be seen from orbit) the entire base is wiped out – along with every man, officer and military asset – down to the last scrap of equipment – erased from existence.
 
 
Knowing full-well the staggering level of martial power the United States possessed, the entire continent of North America is paralyzed in terror. The Union State and their allies in China, Latin America and Azerbaijan-Bukhara had effectively yanked the titan that was once the U.S. military down to their level by its Achilles’ tendon, while simultaneously allowing the Atlantic State the opportunity to assert its sovereignty and control of the region, starting with Naval Base Norfolk. Every strategic move made by the Union State, Brazil, Azerbaijan-Bukhara and China had been executed perfectly and without error – and now the U.S. was fighting an almost even battle with Russia alone, and China had officially eclipsed U.S. administrative prowess. To make matters even worse – a naval strike battalion of hundreds of Kim-loyalists composed of the North Korean navy was on its way across the pacific, the Chinese puppet-state of Korea was positioning the 655-vessel-strong fleet it now had power over into a threatening geographically-strategic formation at premeditated locations across the world, and U.S.-backed Korean Republicans were powerless to do anything about it.
 
Less than 24 hours later, NATO invokes Article 5 of the Collective Defense Treaty and multilaterally declares war on China, Azerbaijan-Bukhara, the Union State of Russia and Belarus and the United Nations for attacking NATO, and thus attacking their territorial integrity, as well as the theft of nuclear weapons and other hardware from the US – originally attributed to the nation in question.
 
"Eleven-Fourteen" or "11/14" is seen as the second-major military defeat of the U.S. in WWIII, much like its counterpart catastrophe, Nine-Eleven "9/11", wherein thousands - both military and otherwise - perish at the hands of hostile actors due to U.S. government ineptitude.
 
China, Azerbaijan-Bukhara, Brazil and Russia emerge as the Germany, Ottoman Turkey, Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria of the ongoing Third Global Confrontation. With NATO on one side and the Eurasian-spearheaded UN on the other, our embattled planet Earth’s various warring nations, territories and governments had solidified into two, roughly three, adversarial factions vying for control of said associated territories.
 
This was the Apex of World War III.
==Politics and government==
North America is a federal state under a dominant-party system. North America's constitution, adopted in 2024 and amended a number of times between then and 2027, is the legal framework that governs the head of state, government, unicameral legislature and judiciary. The chairman retains wide executive and legislative powers from the government and parliament. The chairman exercises his powers through the government that he appoints for a four-year term, which is responsible before the parliament that is made up of one chamber. The judiciary is independent according to the constitution.
The chairman is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. He can declare war and peace, ratify laws and treaties, convene and close legislative sessions, call and postpone elections, dismiss the government and dissolve the parliament. The appointed government can also be dismissed through a majority vote of no confidence by the elected House of Representatives. After a bill is proposed by the government, it must be approved by the House of Representatives then the Senate, and becomes law after being ratified by the chairman. A chairman's veto on legislation can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in a joint session of all parties. The parliament also has the right of interpellation.
===Foreign relations===
The NAFUSR initially maintained cordial relations with the West, primarily through the G13 intergovernmental organization established by North America, Canada and the United States in 2024. France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom would join later that year, followed by Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Italy in 2025. The organization would officially become bunk in 2025, as that year the North Americans began bombing Central America, and even right from the start it was seen as a feeble attempt by Western nations to 'tame' the North American eagle, as Mexico City and Dallas maintained suspiciously-close ties with Beijing and Moscow. The Russians were found to be heavily influential in the Texan Nationalist Movement, and possessed voluminous leverage over the Texan GOP and Mexican Government. The North American federal government adopted many of the predecessor state of Mexico's foreign policy and relations.
