## History

### Original History

After the Central Powers won in World War 1, syndicalists have been on the rise as the French Republic was losing against the labor unions, the Soviet Union collapsed after Vladimir Lenin was assassinated by a disgruntled worker, the German Empire gain more territory, and the United States fractured between the Combined Syndicates of America under syndicalism, the American Union State under Huey Long's policies, the Pacific States of America that want to keep democracy alive, and the Federalist States of America under Douglas MacArthur's militarized rule. But for the seven states above Pennsylvania, the seven states joined the British Empire...or what is left of it after syndicalists took control of the British Isles. They greatly oppose to the Second American Civil War and became a puppet state of Canada. Where the royal family fled after the British Islands fell.

There was some talk about New England declaring independence later on in order to reclaim the United States. Others say that it is better to be under the control of a kind instead of reclaiming America. But that is up to the player to decide the fate of this nation.

### Psyche Multiverse

When the Kaiserreich mod launched, many played it and things got a bit...complicated, for lack of a better word. There are times when New England became independent and won back the states, remained in British control, managed to claimed America for the crown, won, lost, whatever the players do on their game play that make the canon history of Kaiserreich a bit more confusing. So, every nation of Kaiserreich that broke themselves off from the other complicated affairs and became primary versions of these nations.

### United Nations & Creations Booting and New Galaxy

Around the final months of 2020, the United Nations & Creations was formed. An alliance of multiple nations and the creations of humanity working together side by side. But only the official works. Anything that is considered modded, fan-made, or anything along there, are to be removed...by force. Because of this, the UN&C forced many non-official nations, including New England, from planets that other nations "officially" claim. This included everything made in Kaiserreich which also include such as the British Empire along with their territories. Even though there was a novel published in 2019 called, The People's Flag: The Union of Britain and the Kaiserreich, but the UN&C claimed that it is based-on a fan game and not a real work.

New England was suppose to arrive on the same planet as the British Empire, but they got the coordinates wrong. They ended-up on a planet called, Usonia, in the Cascadia Galaxy. As they established their new home, they managed to make contact with the British Empire before they realize that there are other forms of the USA on this world. Such as Vinland, the American Confederacy, the Mojave Coalition, the American States of Japan, and many more. Yet thanks to King Edward Albert, they managed to join in with the United Confederacy of Exiles because many sympathize with this particular union.

## Government

As part of the British Empire, it is part of parliament as a puppet state. It may call itself a federal constitutional presidential republic, but it is still part of the British crown. A puppet state if you will. The head of the government is the president, but the president functions more like a prime minister. The executive branch of New England is the local cabinet which the president has complete authority. The legislative is the same as the British Empire with the upper house being the House of Lords and the lower house being the House of Commons. However, the House of Lords are comprised of mercantile businesses that are working their way up to achieve a noble title and some did managed to achieve as far as viscount.

## Culture & Society

New England does follow some of the old principles of the United States yet is still in direct control of the British Empire. So it is a mix of both USA and English cultures. However, it has been isolated from the other nations on Usonia in fear of being invaded or fall under enemy influence. But it is open to trade with other members of the British Empire and even with members of the United Confederacy of Exiles. They believe, back in the game, the Second American Civil War belong to the other factions of the former USA such as the Combined Syndicates, the Unionists, the Federalists, and the Pacific States. Even far away from where the new conflict is rising, they still make barricades to protect themselves when they settled on this new world in the event that these four, or any other, would try to conquer Usonia.

One simple rule: "Don't mess with New England, New England won't mess with you." And they even brandish their slogan, "Don't Tread On Me." with a symbol of a snake from the American War for Independence. A bit ironic now. However, there is a small resistance movement that want New England to be separate from the British Empire and to either join with the other alternate American nations or conquer Usonia.

New England doesn't have a big population, but there is plenty of land to go around. Much of their culture is largely based on the British with many of the old colonial structures being rebuilt and repurposed. Some of these structures are reformed to schools, universities and science centers to study and encourage education. There is free and universal healthcare as well since the British Empire supply New England with medicines and medical equipment. Medicines and education is more valued here with many discoveries found on Usonia. Prohibition is also over with many pubs have their doors open to those that need something to make friendly conversation over a pint.

People are alright when left alone and keeping the rebels away from them. Many are cautious towards outsiders of the British Empire and like to keep to themselves. But if you are willing to buy a few pints, you might make new friends sooner than later.

## Economy

The main economic infrastructure comes from two sources: logging and fishing. There is a major abundant of trees of various species in New England that are cut down and used for housing, furniture, carvings and more. But in many villages and small town farms, it is used for firewood. Fishing is also a prime source of food with hundreds of different species of fish, cephalopods, crustaceans, and other marine creatures in Usonia. However, there have been occasions that very large sea monsters devouring unsuspected ships and their crews.

There is some mining done in a few certain areas but mostly for iron, coal, copper, nickel and other common materials. However, there have been some deep mining operations where they found uranium that they use to make nuclear fusion to power the entire nation. They even trade some of it in the empire.

With the logging, the nation made plenty of room for farmlands for crops to prevent any starvation when the cold winter months come. Many crops include wheat, barley, apples, cherries, plums, grapes, corn, squash and many other standard Earth crops. They also plant and grow vast tea fields of various types. But they also grow a few alien foods as well. This includes Zilm'kach, which is a Klingon fruit; Gespar, a type of Vulcan fruit; and super size corn. They also raise a great deal of livestock along with Grox. However, most prefer the cattle over the Grox any day.

## Military

The military is dependent on the Royal Military of the British Empire due to being stretched out and not as many people living in New England. This includes the Royal Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines. However, in desperate times, they do have their own local forces in order to defend themselves if the Royal Military doesn't arrive, getting to the battle or being delayed. This include the Minutemen Militia, which is a decentralized volunteer military comprised of folks that are willing to defend their homeland from invaders and rebels. Another is the Green Mountain Rangers, which are trained mountaineer soldiers that use the mountain environment to their advantage and ambush enemies in the trees.
