==History==
===COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-22)===
The COVID-19 Pandemic was one of the worst pandemics since the Spanish Flu in the late 1910s, with the United States being one of the strongest countries to be hit by the virus, economically, socially and politically. With a recorded 600k people dead from the virus overall in the nation. The pandemic eventually ended in September of 2022, with the US getting less cases than 10 new cases every day and the majority of Americans vaccinated against the virus. In October, President Joe Biden went on Live TV and celebrated the progress the nation has made with COVID-19, thanking every american who got vaccinated for doing their part in stopping this pandemic, he also announced that most vaccines made in the US where going to be used in third world countries that were feeling the worst effects of the pandemic at that time. The Pandemic officially ending skyrocketed President Biden approval rating, helping the Democrats gain seats in the Senate, while still losing the House of Representatives to the Republicans, but by less than expected. 
In 2023, HHS reported that all Americans that were eligible for the vaccine were vaccinated.
=== Douglass and Puerto Rico Statehood (2021 ; 2025) ===
Under the presidencies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, two new states were added into the union, making the US had 52 states instead. Most of Washington D.C., except the part where the federal government operates became the 51st state of the United States. It was named Douglass, after American abolitionist Frederick Douglass. In 2025, Puerto Rico was admitted as the 52nd state, with bipartisan support from Republicans and Democrats.
