United States of America

The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (US), America or the States was a North American nation consisting of 50 states and several other vassal territories. It was the world's most powerful economy for well over a century, as well as the first non-imperial superpower and the first nation in history to develop nuclear weapons. Up until the Century War, it was also the only nation to use such weapons in war, which it did against Japan over 100 years before the beginning of the Century War. 
== History ==
The United States gained independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain centuries before the Unification. It was involved in both the World Wars. After the September 11th Attacks, the United States developed an increasingly hostile attitude towards Islamism. The United States' invasions of the Middle East and Africa (aiming to eliminate the Islamic Caliphate) led to the country becoming virtually bankrupt, and this combined with increased government censorship and more restrictive firearm laws caused conservatives in the southern states to rise up against the government, forming various armed rebel groups that ultimately declared themselves an independent Confederate States of America, named for the centuries earlier state of the same name. 
The ensuing civil war split the United States in two, with the Confederacy occupying the land- and airspace of the states of Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota and North Dakota, and preventing movement of goods or people between the east and west coasts of the United States.
Ultimately, the two halves of the United States came under the control of the resident elites, the Kushner and Mezwinsky families, and they ultimately became two separate countries: The United States of America and the Republic of America. The remaining territory of the United States would later attempt to destroy the secessionist Lakotah Alliance, which would result in it being invaded and occupied by Canada. The Republic of America and the Confederate States of America would continue to exist for decades longer.
