## History

### During Apocalypse

During the apocalypse, much of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia became under attack by not just zombies, but also Red Coasts from the American Revolution as boats fire cannons along the coast and soldiers trying to invade. Much of the Untied States military responded and try to make quick succession of these bizarre occurrences that is happening in the nation. Surprisingly, cybernetic troops from Fracture came and help save many lives. But that was only the start.

In Delaware, Gems from Steven Universe come to wage their civil war among the chaos with Wendigoes attacking people. Monsters from the Goosebumps series started to appear out of their books and causing destruction in their wake. Slappy the Dummy is leading these monsters as he spread terror with his "little family". This includes mummies, Arcturans from Zapped in Space, the Creeps from Calling All Creeps, Mirror Monsters from Ghost in the Mirror, Beasts from The Beast from the East, and many other monsters. Delaware become a major battleground with two factions of Gems and monsters fighting with some serial killers lurking in the wilderness. As if monsters from children story books was bad enough, one area of southwest New Jersey is being attacked by an alien monster from, The Deadly Spawn, along with mutated monstrosities from, The Stuff, along with werecats, muckpeople, octopus-like creatures with electric tentacles and various of other monsters from, Spookies.

In Maryland, the Blair Witch is real. She combs the forests and kill intruders as she harvests people's remains for her dark arts. Creatures simply called Snakehead, from Snakehead Terror, are in the waterways and feed on anything, or anyone, that comes close to the water. Demonic creatures from The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind started to attack people in Baltimore after a strange earthquake hit a prison. Terrorist from John Brown's Army and Displace International try to seize control of Washington, D.C. while under attack by rogue factions such as Hyenas, True Sons, Outcasts, Black Tusk, Talon Company and Super Mutants. Members of NCIS, the Brotherhood of Steel, The Division, American Revolutionaries, Joint Task Force, Secret Service members from The Conduit, super soldiers from Conduit 2 and cybernetic troops from Fracture save many as they can and take back control despite a triple plague threat from Ebola, Anthrax and Green Poison alongside Corona. To make matters worse, aliens such as The Drudge, Advancers, XCOM aliens and many others try to invade.

However, there is some problems in Point Lookout, Maryland. Mutated and deformed people started to come out of the swamps and started attacking people. Even worse, eating them. Strange fruits called, Punga Fruit, started to appear along with mutated wildlife from Fallout 3's DLC: Point Lookout. People in the area arm themselves against mutated feral dogs, feral ghouls, swamplurks, and swamp ghouls.

Southern Pennsylvania gets overwhelmed with many zombies and Sentinels from Marvel Comics. The Sentinels have gone rogue as they deem all as mutants as they terminate everyone they come across. Monsters and demons from Dusk also made their way as they terrorize people and possess people, scarecrows, rats and people who have been mutilated and turned into something else. Pittsburgh was one of the few safe places with Tesla's devices electrocute or short-circuit anything that comes close. Although, some of Pittsburgh parts of it turned into The Pitt from Fallout 3's DLC: The Pitt while other parts look more like Land of the Dead. But there have been reports of Demogorgons seen in the sewers but there is hardly any trace of them.

Much of Northern Virginia look post-apocalyptic from the television series, The 100. Mutated creatures roam much of the land such as giant lamprey and two-headed deer. There is a war between the Grounders, Mountain Men, and the 100 Delinquents for survival and supernatural threats from Twin Peaks getting in the way. Members of Codename: Kids Next Door assisted many alongside Union soldiers from the American Civil War and Resistance fighters from Resistance 3 and Homefront: The Revolution.

Not too far from the shores of the crumbling United States, a cluster of islands have appeared just off the shores of Maryland. This include Liberty City from Grand Theft Auto, Stilwater and Steelport from Saints Row. As expected it is full of crime with gangs now fighting each other in full force as the local authorities are almost left powerless against the up rise of gang violence. Another island, Solomon Island, that was supposed to be in Maine instead appear with the other islands and it is from the Secret World. The island is infested with zombies, Deep Ones, Filth corrupted creatures, and Draugs from The Secret World along with Bogeymen, Hellspawns and many others. The Illuminate, the Templars, and the Dragon have saved many survivors as they sent "The Chosen of Gaia" to assist.

### After Phase I

After a few days, much have gotten better...for the most part. With Donald Trump dead, Joe Biden was inaugurated into office since he is the only candidate that is available and had more votes than the others from when they last check. Let's just say that it was too much responsibility for everyone so, they just dump it all on him.

Thanks to the combine efforts of the Brotherhood of Steel, the Regulators, Reilly's Rangers, Civil War Union soldiers, American Revolutionary soldiers, resistance fighters, Joint Task Force, the Division, NCIS, the Gems, remnants of the United States Military and cybernetic soldiers, much have been quiet down and almost all the undead have been destroyed. Many Super Mutants have been rounded up and taken to be transform into humans once again. Much of the supernatural threats of Twin Peaks have been conquered as peace between the 100, the Mountain Men and the Grounders have been settled.

Much of the swampfolks were also taken to undo much of the mutations that were done to them, but they are much harder to do given that they are a products of generations of inbreeding, radiation poisoning and/or exposure to toxic wastes. The Sentinels from Marvel Comics have been deactivated as they have been reprogram to act as guardians of many urban cities alongside multiple Liberty Primes. The Blair Witch is still at large as she dwells in Black Hills. Many of the demons and monsters from Dusk have been vanquished and much of the alien threats have been dealt with. Washington, D.C. is back in business with Joe Biden trying to figure things out with, surprisingly, Abraham Lincoln as they try to find a way to reunite the country since many have probably been forming their own nations.

So Abraham Lincoln have came up with an idea. As he quoted, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The idea is to grant each of these new nations autonomy and a level of independence which follows much of the U.S.A. doctrine about states, but these will be nation states. As you can guess, Joe Biden set out on a quest to create a new America from the ashes of the apocalypse. But it will take time for him to get around because problems still stir in the new Liberty State where Steelport, Solomon Island, Stilwater, Alderney and Liberty City are at. Gang violence are still an issue with the 3rd Street Saints slowly seizing everything the other gangs have and establishing a criminal empire. But there is some in-fighting between the various Saints Row player character (Avatars) for control and to be boss, which makes them even more dangerous. Even the Ultor Corporation failed the advantage they had with the power struggle. Solomon Island is still a cesspool of supernatural activity that is slowly being eradicated. Various mafia families also try to seize control of various territories of Liberty City and Alderney. That, and some aliens with creations of a creation started to attack such as the Zin and Space Amazons.

The troops of the newly formed Atlantic Alliance went over to deal with the situation. But they aren't alone in dealing with the gangs. The Special Tactical Anti-Gang Unit (S.T.A.G.) came in and help deal with the gangs and mobs with their advance weaponry and launch their forces from their aircraft carrier, Thermopylae. They even bring in their flying aircraft carrier, Daedalus, to gain further ground. It took weeks to bring peace and serenity within the new state yet resources were running a little low. So, Joe Biden went out and made deals with the other eight nation states.

### Phase II

As the galaxy got bigger and the universe got more crowded, an executive order came down from the top to have micronations deported to another world. They did more than kicked-out micronations. Some of them were staging grounds for some of the left over gangs and enemies that were given a choice: they either leave or face execution. Many chose the latter.

## Society

Society has changed much after the apocalypse. The Liberty State islands now have a crime-free lifestyle as the mobs and gangs have been driven out with martial law the new norm. Solomon Island is now relatively peaceful despite a few monsters still lurking. The Council of Venice have set up shop with the Illuminate, Templars, Dragons and Phoenician Sailors guarding the island as they kill monsters, protect people, and ensure supplies arrive on time. Liberty City, Alderney City, Steelport and Stilwater make-up the industrial bulk in the Atlantic Alliance with a mix of steel forging, commercial buildings and factories with Steelport now having alien towers in certain sections where spaceships come in to deliver supplies and allow immigration. Stilwater University now has the highest amount of scholarships with all the drugs removed and the brothel no longer existing.

Delaware is now home to not just humans, but also to the Gems from Steven Universe. Many species of gems help make life better in the Atlantic Alliance. Sapphires help predict natural disasters and dangers to ensure the safety of citizens while using their ice powers to refill lakes and ponds on the verge of dying due to climate change. Lapis Lazulis help deal with floods and storms as well as water agricultural areas. Topaz and Quartz help deal with any lingering threats and try to hunt down the Blair Witch. Nephrites, Pearls, Pebbles, Peridots, Spinels and other such gems help with much of rebuilding cities and towns while adding other technologies for improvements. Some of the creatures from Goosebumps have surrendered and willing to cooperate with rebuilding the nation.

Much of Pittsburgh has been rebuilt and resemble more of a city it is supposed to be rather than some post-apocalypse death trap. The Pitt Raiders were wiped alongside the feudal oligarchy rule of Paul Kaufman and Fiddler's Green with much being rebuilt. The soldiers of Fiddler's Green were easy due to their lack of military training, but the Pitt Raiders were more organized. Pittsburgh is now a major industry to not just steel, but also durasteel, ceramic alloys, victurium, corundium, alusteel and many more. Now, it is a thriving city with many spaceports delivering materials to make new alloys. There are still rumors of Demogorgons in the sewers, but there are still no signs of them.

The Mountain Men, Grounders and the 100 Delinquents have been integrated into society as many have changed with the 100 able to teach much of the technology of the Ark. The Mountain Men stopped using the Acid Fog and got integrated into the Atlantic Alliance Army as they also teach non-augmented soldiers on basic survival in the wilderness. The Grounders' culture have been wiped with the exception of their religion as they also see the cybernetic troops as "Guardians of The Flame" or "Children of the Flame". But people with cybernetics are seen as "followers", which gives some people with implants some sense of spirituality.

Cybernetic augmentation is more than just a means of survival or adapting to the changing world. It has become a fashion statement in the Atlantic Alliance. People are willing to have a few of their organic parts with cybernetics that make things seem more cyberpunk with elements from Cyberpunk 2077 and Deus Ex, but not as grim. Some actually use their cybernetics for work such as use sonar-resonance to see through walls and detect any sort of faults. Use their cybernetic arms to lift heavy objects, have enhance lungs that can detect toxins and help being invulnerable to them, detect unusual behavioral patterns of a patient, and able to connect with people without a physical device. Cybernetics have become life-saving and career boosting tools for companies and law enforcement, but the augmentations must be done voluntarily and with consent. It is the law.

There are some gangs but they become more like community service workers than gun totting, testosterone-filled, territorial mongers. They traded their guns for paint cans and trash bags to refurbish and keep the communities clean. They traded in their strip clubs and hangouts for soup kitchens to feed the homeless and schools for children to learn. They traded in their drugs and cash for legal businesses such as clothing stores or shops that sell their merchandise with their logo on it. They even make music that gives more of a positive messages to people rather than telling you who is number one or destroying other people's property.

## Government

The Atlantic Alliance is a democratic republic with multiple parties just like other nation states with a subsidiary president. However, the majority of the democracy is known as digital democracy, also known as electric democracy or internet democracy. In other words is that people can vote on the internet rather than being at the polls. Security of digital voting is more like cyber Fort Knox with a multitude of security levels and coding that it is almost impossible to hack. The reason being is to ensure that there is a fair voting system when elections come and to ensure that there is no corruption or double voting.

The Union Cabinet is the executive branch of the Atlantic Alliance with the subsidiary president sharing power. There are two senators per state with five representatives.

## Economy

Much of the agriculture hasn't change much. Delaware still grows corn, soybeans and still have poultry, dairy products and nursery stock. Maryland still have the same old fishing and vegetables such as Atlantic blue crabs, watermelons, peas, oysters and other such goods. However, there are some mirelurks that are being fished and hunted for their meat. Same that can be said about their eggs. Punga fruits are a new investment since they can remove a fraction of radiation from the body with some new recipes such as moonshine, punga pies, and various other goods. North Virginia's new cash crop comes in a form of three kinds of cotton. The first is a tree that produce cotton candy from Toriko, which is a good, naturally growing treat. The others are a tundra cotton from Nirn that they grow in the autumn that can survive in winter and the other is rainbow cotton. It is some sort of cotton that change colors in certain temperatures that can be harvested and save a small amount for dyes.

The KND do use their 2x4 technology to help some get by and even set their prejudice towards adults aside since they're in a completely different universe with different rules. They do sell some of their vehicles and weapons to people to have their own budget such as the S.P.A.N.K.L.E.R. (***S**olid **P**ine **L**oaded **A**rtillery **N**icely **K**icks **E**nemy **R**ear*) that police officers in Liberty City use on criminals. Vehicles such as the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. (***C**arries **O**peratives **O**verhead **L**uxuriously- **B**oasts **U**nbeatable **S**peed*) and the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. (***S**habby **Ca**mper **A**ctually **M**akes **P**erfect **E**mergency **R**escue-mabob*) have been used by small town militias and security forces. Despite being non-lethal, they are effective at taking down criminals and crime prevention. Not to mention that they are cheaper to make and semi-affordable.

The cities are headquarters for many companies that make places like Liberty City, Steelport and Stilwater home such as Jo Jo's Cola, Adios Airlines, CJS, VersaLife, Mako Ballistics, and various others that rival that of Greater New York City. It is also home to two stock exchanges such as Liberty City National Exchange and BAWSAQ. There is a small tax that companies have to pay in case of a rise in profits. The more their profit margins rise, the higher the taxes. This would be a point where big companies send in lobbyist but lobbyist are declared illegal in the nation.

Pittsburgh and Steelport are the largest produces of alloys in the Atlantic Alliance. Metals from space with Gems able to bend and mold them to any shape thanks to some of their superhuman strength and various abilities pending on which kind of Gem. The metals are then process into different alloys such as durasteel, regular steel, nth metal, even Rearden metal. Yet the factories have been modified to produce almost zero emissions to prevent any environmental damage. The Gems also test the metal before shipping them to other factories for processing.

Cybernetics are also a major product in the Atlantic Alliance. The applications were used in medical to help those that lost limbs or suffer from medical conditions. Other applications include military use such as enhance targeting, enhance jumping and landing, and various other uses. There is now a number of custom jobs for various cybernetics and a few mass produced ones for fashion. Plus, with alien tech, there are a numerous types that people are willingly to remove some of their parts for new, mechanical ones. Although, there are some that found other uses for it.

Thanks to the Zin after their surrender, virtual reality has gone beyond. They use their VR technology to place criminals and prisoners in these environments while also study the behavior patterns and psychosis of them. After studying, they try to find a way to have the criminal/prisoner become more civil and be a working member of society. There is some ethical issues but the government say that it is for the best. Anyway, their full dive VR technology made a commercial hit. Stores can barely keep up with the clearing of their shelves and inventory as customers buy lots of VR consoles and games that allows one to fully be immerse in a virtual space.

## Military

The majority of the military are comprised of cybernetic human soldiers and Gems. The cybernetics are used to enhance soldiers and to increase their survival in almost any environment. To join, human soldiers have to sign a consent form to have their bodies enhanced with implants to ensure their survivability with a signed agreement to be given their original organs and limbs back when relieved from service. But there is another waver about having civilian implants if they want to keep their altered state. Each branch of the military have their own unique implants such as special lungs that let navy, coast guard and marines to survive in water, air force members having special devices to assist with landing without a parachute, or sniper squads have special eye cybernetics that lets them fire their rifles without scopes.

All human soldiers are given special VR training to learn how to adjust with certain implants and train with them before practical training. Thanks to the Zin virtual reality technology, all recruits can feel pain, can feel every shot being fired, every intense temperature, all of it. Luckily, there were only two recruits that died in VR due to epileptic seizures or heart condition and no other casualties since then. Yet it makes some of the soldiers think that reality is like the simulation which may cause some psychological degeneration.

Gems are in the military since they have a higher survivability, lack skeletal structures, able to survive in space and water, superhuman strength and so forth. With fusions, they can become stronger and unlock certain powers and potential when dealing with enemies. The Zin are also in the military with their highly efficient laser and plasma guns, robots, and mech suits. The Space Amazons are also there as they are able to use mind control devices to have enemy soldiers reveal all information and then imprison them. They are also seen on the battle with laser guns yet weaker than the Zin's. The two kinds of "super soldiers" from the Zin and Space Amazons. The Space Brutinas are super strong and muscular Space Amazons that can tank a lot of damage. The Wardens are monstrous, large and armored aliens among the Zin that have large spikes on them that can roll towards targets and structures.
