United States Alliance

The United States Alliance (the common nickname is "the Exclave", or "the Alliance") is a paramilitary organization formed from the remnants of the Enclave on the Empire Wasteland after the fall of the Enclave and the further disconnection of ZAX supercomputer from its leadership. The Exclave is one of the possible successors to the pre-War USA.
==Backstory==
===Enlave against Exclave===
As a movement, the Exclave was formed at the very beginning of the creation of the Enclave. The first theorist of more moderate ideas was a US major and veteran of Anchorage Harbor, whose political works were immediately banned, and the veteran himself was expelled. However, his philosophy of restoring America were secretly spreading, and the actual core was the Enclave branch on the Empire Wasteland. 
In contrast to the radicalism of the Enclave, the disparate movement caricaturedly called itself Exclave, which was fully consistent with the ideas of the movement. However, strict discipline and purges within the Enclave itself prevented the movement from becoming coherent, which is why it had no central leadership. 
With the further weakening of the Enclave, the movement began to gain its greater momentum, so the purges against them had to be stopped. Old radical ideas became irrelevant due to the fact that they showed their invalidity in a real wars, and thus caused disappointment. 
===As a faction===
The final nail in the coffin of the old ideals was the loss of the self-proclaimed President Eden, who based his policy precisely on those old ideas. After the arrival of the Enclave Remnant Forces, the supercomputer of NYC and the military elite has planned new operation to capture the Brotherhood of Steel`s nuclear power plant, which still worked even after bombs. 70% of the entire army rushed into battle and died in the explosion of a nuclear reactor. Due to distrust to the less radical elements in the Enclave, ZAH mad lists of potential oppositionists, therefore some of the military were not allowed to take part in the operation, while the other part remained in reserve and guarding existing positions. Ironically, one of the potential oppositionists turned out to be Colonel Autumn.
After the total failure of the Enclave, the very existence of the organization turned out to be a temporary matter. Colonel Autumn, who had worked with Eden in the past, fully understood the danger of transferring control to a supercomputer, and the failure and explosion at the nuclear power plant only confirmed all the fears. Together with his loyal people, Colonel Autumn begins a full-scale coup d'etat with the goal of shutting down the supercomputer. ZAX, like MODUS in its time, begins blocking the exits and pumping out oxygen due to the red alarm. However, Autumn, as one of the elite officers, had almost all the necessary access codes on the base, one of which was his own hand, and his men had all the means to unlock or simply destroy even armored doors. ZAX was successfully disabled, and the original orders to pump out oxygen and blockade the base were canceled.
The authority of Augustus Autumn was able to unite the remnants of the Enclave in the Empire The disparate opposition, which had now become the dominant force, has united around the personality of the colonel. Therefore, Augustus Autumn becomes the leader of the United States Alliance and the interim President of the United States itself. The United States Alliance is one of the main forces remaining in the even more dangerous Empire Wasteland.
== Ideology==
The Exclave considers itself to be the direct successor to the government of the United States of America, and due to the virtual absence of other organizations with claims to such title, it is so. Some remnants of the Enclave are slowly becoming part of the United States Alliance. 
Under the leadership of President Autumn, the United States Alliance became a civil dictatorship with elements of paternalism, of which Augustus Autumn himself is the "Founding Father". The Exclave, however, does not continue to repress other viewpoints unless they are criminal or separatist, although some police state functions and curfews remain. 
The Exclave prefers to identify itself with the pre-War United States rather than with the Enclave, but does not explicitly reject its succession to the Ecnlave, too. This can be seen from the symbolism, which includes symbols of the United States and the Enclave both.
==Military==
Exclave Forces are mostly made from the remnants of the Ecnlave Forces. The Alliance does not hesitate to recruit Minutemen into its ranks, but refuses to accept ghouls, although de jure they are already considered human. They are strong enough to clear the area of ​​mutants and raiders, themselves conducting raids on the bases of marauders, but now they do not dare to begin actual operations to liberate New York from mutants and the Dead Keepers. 
The Alliance Army is not above searching for and restoring pre-war military technology, also concentrating on restoring the necessary pre-war medical equipment, mainly due to the loss of factories and other manufacturing points. Therefore, soldiers often use regular pre-war army armor instead of X-01 power armor (due to the rarity and lack of it) or usual pre-war assault rifles instead of AER9. 
According to Autumn's military doctrine, the main emphasis is on creating an army where any soldier in the future could immediately become an officer in the event of a potential expansion of the army, thus trying to increase the professionalism of the small forces, of course taking into account the military rank system of the pre-War US Army.
The Alliance Army owns at least three working vertibirds and two working armored personnel carriers, which is more or less enough for survival, but not enough for actual military operations, especially due to the lack of sufficient resources for the restoration of existing equipment.
