USA

Introduction:
The United States of America is the richest and most influential nation in the 23rd century. While initially after the collapse of European markets and nations it wavered in strength, it managed to use the situation to its advantage and is highly influential within the new status quo of not only the west but the world too.
War of 1812:
During the war of 1812 the USA militias managed to pull of an unforeseen ambush on unsuspecting Canadian army men. After this singular battle the USA and Britain both found themselves in a position of investment into the war. While for Britain it was revenge, for the USA it was for the destruction of European imperialism. German commanders send over to the USA to study the warfare taking place and simultaneously training the American commanders, saw what in their eyes was absolute chaos. These foreign intellectuals managed to bring some form of order to the chaos and this has widely been accepted as the reason why the USA was able to win their war. 
During the Ottawa Peace Conference, the British handed over control of many lands and the two newly created nations in the north, Grande Quebec and Nunavut, essentially served as United States Puppets.
