The Imperial Alliance of America, also known as the Empire, the Alliance, America, Imperial America or the Imperial Alliance, is a sovereign federation of three constituent client nations primarily located in Northern America. The Allied States of America, which had lasted from January 2007 to September 2035, ended following the Allied States Senate's controversial Leadership Act of 2035, which made then-President Trevor Prince president-for-life. Shortly after the bill passed the majority Democratic Liberal Senate, Prince declared himself monarch of the new Imperial Alliance of America. The Imperial Capital, formerly known as the New Bay City Federal Administrative Center, is an enclave of the city of New Bay City, however is independently governed.

Main article(s): Struggle for Independence, Road to an Empire, Charter of America
In the earliest days of 2007, the leaders of the six states met with the United States federal government in Sacramento to discuss the peaceful secession of the Allied States of America. One of the United States' terms was that a five year non-aggression pact was to be signed, to ensure the Allied States not seek revenge for the delayed secession proceedings. Among other terms and conditions, the Allied States leadership agreed, and on 15 January 2007, in Houston, Texas, the Declaration of American Independence was signed by the leaders of the Allied States, NATO representation, President George W. Bush and several other members of the United Nations which effective immediately recognized the Allied States as an independent nation.
The Allied States existed between January 2007 to September 2035 as a free and fair democratic nation, resembling it's predecessor, the United States. Trevor Prince, who became a prominent figure in 2010, was at the time, a Senator from San Andreas, which consisted of the former California and Nevada. Prince, who was extremely controversial, declared in 2012 that he will be seeking the presidency in the 2014 presidential election. Needless to say, Prince was extremely popular among liberals and the youth, because of his cocky attitude and unique way of getting things done.
Many a time Prince has been called a reckless playboy not capable of political office, as he has been caught in affairs with married women on several occasions, most notably Assistant Attorney General for National Security Roger Backster's wife, in 2012. Regardless of controversy and Prince's evasive tactics to not end up in any real trouble, he was elected as Presiding Senator in 2012, replacing Dana Erwin,
In October of 2014, facing incumbent President Timothy Mac, Prince won in a landslide victory, taking San Andreas, Rocky State and Kansas by a vast majority. This was effectively the beginning of a new era for the Allied States, as Prince was to be their head of state and head of government for at least 18 years to come. Prince immediately, after being inaugurated, began drafting some of the most liberal and controversial bills to the Senate in American history.
 In October 2034, the last democratic election of the Allied States of America was held, with Prince (49 by this time) running unopposed for the second time, and obviously winning. Nine months later, the Senate Majority Leader, of the Democratic Liberty Party, in a controversial speech declares that the world has entered a new era where electing a new leader every few years will hinder them from getting anything real done. Days later, he along with several fellow senators propose the Leadership Act of 2035, which will make the current head of government keep his position indefinitely, until death, when another election could take place.
This, however, realized only to an extent. When the bill passed Senate, President-For-Life Prince, by using several new gray areas within the legislation and the instability of the Constitution to his advantage, declared himself monarch of the Allied States, and that any successor to him will be chosen by him personally. This was indeed a new era for the country, which now finds itself as part of a monarchy, seemingly with little regard for the now allegedly useless Constitution and Senate.
== Government and politics ==
Imperial America is ruled practically through absolute power by Emperor Trevor Prince, with the Imperial Senate retaining basically only ceremonial powers. The Chancellor, currently Jonas Coltrane, is the presiding officer of the Senate as well the Advising Council, and is the de facto deputy ruler of the Empire. The Executor of Justice is the head of the Courts of the Imperial Alliance. Imperial rule is seen by many as authoritarian, however, in contrast to the classic tyrannical rule of the emperor, citizens retain many liberties, such as voting for local and state governments and freedom of speech, although the latter is debated.
The Empire, being a federation like its predecessor, still has state and local level governments with a degree of sovereignty, however, more in day to day activities than permanent legislation. Overseers-General are appointed by the Emperor to be active watchdogs in state government, to ensure no hidden agendas take place. This has largely nullified the role of the offices of the Inspectors-General.
Who would succeed the Emperor has always been a subject for debate, as no fixed legislation exists to define this. Emperor Prince has stated that he will appoint his heir, however the Emperor has no spouse, siblings nor children. Many speculate that he will appoint a close friend or even clone himself before death. Chancellors of the Imperial Senate and Advising Council are theoretically elected, however, the Emperor has complete authority to overrule any elected candidate and appoint an "acting" Chancellor in his or her place until the Emperor sees fit for another election.
=== Executive branch ===
The Emperor, styled, His Most Gracious Imperial Majesty (HMGIM), is the absolute ruler of the Imperial Alliance, thus the head of the executive branch. The Advising Council, which is chaired by the Chancellor, manage the day-to-day activities of the Empire while elected Governors on state-level manage it within their states. All imperial organizations fall under the executive branch with the exception of some which support the legislative and judicial branches.
=== Legislative branch ===
Main article: Imperial Senate
The legislative branch, since 2035, has been largely ceremonial. Imperial Senators have the power to propose laws and vote on them, however, the Emperor has the final decision if a law may pass. The Emperor himself may propose laws, and if they are voted down, may change them into Imperial Decrees, which basically makes the Senate useless as a part of a checks and balances system.
=== Judicial branch ===
Main article: Courts of the Imperial Alliance
The judicial branch, collectively known as the Courts of the Imperial Alliance, is headed by the Executor of Justice, and consists of the following divisions:
*Supreme Court
*State Court
*Magistrate's Court
Each state has its own State Court and each other political division has either one or several magistrate's courts. The magistrate's courts can be further divided into labor courts, family courts or citation courts.
