Union of Council Republics

The Union of Council Republics is the major state to have arisen in North America following the colapse of the Nuuk Empire. It is a major power, controlling huge amounts of land in North America, as well as bits in Europe and Asia. Despite being a democracy, it is considered a successor to the Nuuk Empire.
==History==
===Beginnings===
Following the Great German Civil War and the ensuing collapse of the Weltreich, the Nuuk Empire was in a tough state. Without a partner to trade with, its economy suddenly took a massive downturn. Far left and right riots took place, and eventually order could not be maintained. The assassination of Emperor Motzfeldt XIX in 3034 led to the exile of the House of Kalaallit to Svalbard, and from there a total collapse of order took place. Out of the ashes, a new power came to be in Greenland: the Republic of Greenland and Iceland. Greenland-Iceland now inherited the massive cities of Nuuk and Reykjavik, as well as the islands of Ellesmere, Devon, and Baffin. As a result, they were able to sit comfortably by as chaos embroiled North America. After years of war, the continent settled down. However, it was in no way in good shape. The Commonwealth of Canada, Greenland's closest neighbor was poor, and its infrastructure was ravaged. The president of Greenland-Iceland, and Finnish-Greenlandic man named Haakko Qarok, offered for the annexation of Canada and the formation of a new power. Canada took two days to respond. The answer was yes, and on July 7th, 3047, Greenland-Iceland annexed Canada, forming the Union of Council Republics.
===Spread===
The annexation of Canada signified that the Union of Council Republics would pick up where the Nuuk Empire left off. President Qarok proposed to the council that they go to war with Canada in 3049, and was met with approval. The Union-Alaskan War led to Alaska's annexation into the Union, and shortly thereafter the annexation of the Kamchatsky Republic. Svalbard and the Faroe Islands elected to be annexed in 3050, and the United States of America was annexed in 3053 due to the assassination of its president and the ensuing collapse of the government. In 3056, Ireland and Scotland were faced with impending invasion by the Anglo-French Union, resulting in them instead electing to be annexed into the Union. Due to this, the Union had gained a foothold in three continents, becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world. It is a rival to the Third Mexican Empire and Anglo-French Republic, both of whom desire to take land from the Union and end their dominance over modern politics.
