## United States Post-Federal Trauma Response Initiative

The United States Post-Federal Trauma Response Initiative was put forward by the United States government as a failsafe of Federal Government collapse. While the original initiative was meant to be followed through by the National Guard to keep order, Central Intelligence Agency to handle governing and the National Park Service to manage living conditions, under the original codename: Operation Phoenix, or the Phoenix Initiative, it ultimately ended up being followed through by Homeland Security and the governor of Texas on July 12th, 2059.

The USPFTRI, (usually PFTRI or FTRI) now stands as one of the last political bodies of the United States government, and a safe haven in the post-calamity and toxic environment of a post-nuclear exchange world. While they only embody about eight states of the former United States of America, the USPFTRI doctrine believes more in reclaiming already claimed land, as such, they do not believe that the land has been lost in the first place, and is more so just hazardous and waiting to be reclaimed in way of detoxification.

The administration has been around for a little over 80 years, and in that time have managed to take control of eight states, whether in part or fully, Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, North Carolina, Illinois, California, Texas and Florida. Along with this is the occupation of several other territories, Western Washington, Western Oregon, Northern California, Southern Arizona, Southern New Mexico, Northern Florida, Western North Carolina, and Southern Illinois. This has left a large majority of the United States, not only unclaimed or feral, but unknown to the existence of the PFTRI.

## Government

### Government Body

The PFTRI follows the same rules and restrictions as the old United States, following a Federal Republic system. Although this isn't always, or even always thoroughly followed through with, while this is used as an explanation for any citizens or any new citizens of the Federal Government, there isn't any actual real senate or several government body to manage things, behind the curtain the faction is primarily followed through by a council of hundreds of official spanning its territory, each territory ruled by a governor, the most powerful of whom being the Governor of Texas.

#### Governor(s)

The Governor acts as the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State for their allotted territory and gains, while this may be the case, there is still rules in place and people under and around the Governor that must advise or limit the rule/influence over their sphere of territory or citizens. This is to inhibit the Governor from becoming too powerful or attempting to secede control from the entirety of the PFTRI.

## Economy

### Currency

The primary currency in the PFTRI is the former US dollar and precious medals (stamped by the Government).

#### Precious Medals

While the Government attempts to produce more federal currency, or utilize older bills, it also standardized the use of precious medals such as Silver, Gold, Platinum and Indium. The only precious medals allowed for trade on the legal market must be stamped by the federal Government and given certification tickets as well, usually provided with the precious medals when handed to banks or other trustees in bulk.
