The **United States of America**, also known as the *USA* or just *America*, was a major and prominent nation based in North America. It was a federal republic made up a total of 62 states. The nation was a vibrant democracy, with two main parties by the end of its existence, the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party, which split into two major factions. America originated from the eastern coast of the North American continent, and expanded westward towards the Pacific Ocean. It was one of the most powerful nations of its era, and despite having gone through a civil war, remained the main superpower for over a century, holding significant power over many regions of the world, including India, Russia, Western Europe, Central America, and Australia. It was also a major rival of the Kazakh Khanate and the German Empire. Its allies in the *Boston Accord* included Madagascar, White Ukraine, Novosibirsk, Great Britain, Italy, and the many American satellite states.

*Not to be confused with the earlier United States of America.*

## The Colonial Era

The early colonial era of the United States was a rather complicated one. The nation originated from the first Danish colony in North America, which was named Sumpensland. It only existed for a year before the British purchased it and renamed it to the Royal Colony of Georgia in late 795AD. The colony of Georgia thrived, receiving thousands of settlers from the British Isles, and allowing it to establish the "American Continental Army", a volunteer force of settlers who were loyal to the British. Using the army, the colony proceeded to expand into Tennessee, and invade three indigenous nations bordering them. They annexed the Peedee nation, annexed the Okefenokee Swamp from the Timucua, and annexed most of the Cherokee homeland from the Cherokee.

At this point, the colony was split into smaller entities, including the territories of Mississippi, Carolina and Tennessee. These territories were placed under the leadership of various people. Carolina was led by Ulysses Hughes, who helped fully establish and rebuild the colony. The Mississippi colony was led by Grant Blackburn, who was able to facilitate settlement of the colony, especially in its eastern lands, although the colony also faced raids from native tribes, especially those who called the region their home. Tennessee fell under the incompetent Riley Valentino, who failed to encourage settlement of the colony and effectively handed control over the territory back to the Cherokees. This led to Tennessee being called the "backwater" of British North America.

Britain continued to conquer the Eastern Seaboard, with the American Continental Army defeating the Powhatan, which was then followed up by the conquest of several other smaller tribes along the coast. These new lands were split between the Carolina Territory , the Tennessee Territory, and two new colonies named the Virginia Territory and New England colony. The Carolina colony was also made into a royal colony, becoming the first to become a royal colony since the original Georgia colony. The two new territories wer controlled by Gilmore Evans and Quincy Sharp respectively, who both led them somewhat successfully. This was the maximum extent of British North America. However, a group of Sumpersdanes, the original Danish colonists in Georgia, began an insurgency and attempted to assassinate the governor of British America, Kiran Bailey. This attempted was unsuccessful, as their pipebomb was opened by his butler. An immediate investigation was launched, and it was linked to the city of Callaway in Florida.

After weeks of violence in the city, the Sumpersdanes besieged and captured a garrison north of Callaway, as well as the city itself. The battle for the city was tense, but the Sumpersdanes were eventually defeated, and they were exiled into the interior of America, where they eventually settled in modern-day Nebraska.

### Rise of Anti-British sentiment

After the failed uprising, King Olivier signed the Colony Act of 796AD, which saw all overseas British territories incorporated as royal colonies, and strengthened British power over the colony. Although it was not made very public, the colonial governors expressed their distaste for it. This was reinforced after governor Bailey's request to design infrastructure autonomously, which was rejected. This was later learned to have been repealed, on the condition that the British military presence was increased. However, the response from the colonies were very vocal. Various Anti-British newspapers, such as the "*Righteous American*", appeared, which began to promote dissent against the British. Along with this, various demonstrations occurred with help from newly formed organizations. Most resistance originated from Carolina, where British forces were frequently beaten and mocked, and some even reportedly killed.

In response, King Oliver reportedly ranted to his generals and begged for their assistance. Cole O'Neal was assigned as military governor specifically to fight back against these acts. Under him, traitors were tried, garrisons were reinforced, and resistance was cracked down on. He sponsored propaganda to convince colonial loyalists to ensure the rule of the king. Oliver was not satisfied, and ordered both O'Neal and Bailey to increase their campaigns. After little progress, Oliver took direct control over the colonial military and ordered to search all households across Carolina for acts of treason. This lead to more resistance as many were incorrectly tried, and colonial judges were gave harsh punishments. One of the most notable cases of this was the case of Sawyer Cooke. After the decree from the king, soldiers entered his farm and declared that they had the right to "resupply" on his farm. Cooke attempted to resist, but he was unarmed, so he was unable to stop them from eating his food and drinking his booze. After making a speech in Charleston which attracted hundreds of people, he was arrested and reportedly had his tongue removed by prison guards.

After this, an unknown militia in Charleston sacked a British army depot, and used the resources to assassinate Cole O'Neal, further angering the king. Deeming governor Bailey to be incompetent, he reassigned his position to Johannes Brighton, and put Bailey under house arrest in Savannah. The generals of the American Army supported this, but the soldiers opposed his removal, seeing him as an icon. These soldiers mutinied, while loyalists fought them, and soldiers who were discharged or deserted formed various revolutionary militias. These militias targeted critical infrastructure used by the British. Sawyer Cooke continued to spread his ideas and work on organizing these militias.

### Callaway Massacre and the Road to Revolution

In a final desperate decree, King Oliver ordered brutal oppression against the protesters. They were to simply be fired upon. Many of the Army refused, as their friends and families were resisting British Rule, and thusly began to defect to the rebel groups. This decree would also directly lead to the Callaway Massacre.

Due to its previous affiliations with anti-British resistance, the city of Callaway was garrisoned with more British troops than standard. British Officer Captain McKinley was assigned to this post. There, he was loyal to the crown and would do anything to erase the anti-British sentiments in the area. His efforts proved to be effective, as the colonial authority was recruited directly from the British Isles. However, during a large anti-British march in the city, soldiers began a mutiny in support, while the remaining loyalist forces fired upon them. Over 100 people died, and only a few protestors escaped. This event would later be known as the *Callaway Massacre*.

The revolutionary papers, most of which were now operating underground, made this situation very public. Instances of journalists joining pro-British papers to spread revolutionary rhetoric was common. Nationwide riots and protests ensued, with New York seeing the largest strike in British history. Mass mutinies soon followed, joining the insurgent militias, with Captain McKinley reportedly being butchered alive by his own men. The British lost control of major cities, with their remaining forces being scattered across Carolina and Georgia.

### Continental Congress

As the insurrection raged across the countryside, the newly formed governments would meet in Philadelphia to organize the the successor to the American Colony. This would be attended by their leaders, including Blake Tipton of Carolina, Joshua Gardner of Virginia, Nathaniel Derry of Mississippi, Keiran Bailey of Georgia, Floyd Wilson of Tennessee, and finally Derek Bjørnson of New England. General Hein Vosmeijer would also be present as he led a militia that occupied much of these territories, where he agreed to transfer occupation.

During these times, the 'continental army', led by local military leaders, but organized by Dustin T. Stanley, would face the British in many battles. They won in Rocky Mount, Carolina, and Durham, getting ever closer to Raleigh and Charlotte. American forces would also win the Battle of Chatta forest, securing rural Georgia. However, their march to Augusta failed. Seeing their attempt at separating the loyalists failed, they moved to face the British Army head on at Sherman's Hill.

   **The Battle of Sherman's Hill**

After the continental congress and the drafting of the constitution, the American patriots, led by Dustin T. Stanley, faced off against the remaining British loyalist forces on Sherman's Hill, a small hilly region in the southern coastal regions of Carolina. After a long six hours of battle, on July 4th, 800AD, the Americans emerged victorious, and the various states which would come to birth America became free. These states, Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, & New England, would then divide up their territories into more states and enter into the union which would become known as the United States of America. The entry into the union was as follows;

1. South Carolina
2. Georgia
3. Virginia
4. Tennessee
5. Mississippi
6. Maryland
7. Pennsylvania
8. New Jersey
9. New York
10. Connecticut
11. Rhode Island
12. Massachusetts
13. North Carolina

The Treaty of Kent took place, which gave the colonies independence and the entire British American fleet, which had been captured. A second congress was called, where Stanley established a central American Republic, unifying the colonies. For the next week, the members of congress were to draft the constitution, a grueling process. Many members were split upon how much power the federal government should have, a leading cause of the split of the Unitary party. A flag was selected, which had been designed by the sister of Sawyer Cooke, Betsy Ross.

## Boston Accord

The **Boston Accord**, also known as the Boston Bloc, is the official name of the American alliance and its sphere of influence. It is not an exact organization, but contains a political department, primarily used to govern international zones, and made up of member nations.

It was formed to 'enforce the Republican world hegemony', as American President Hendrick Göthel put it. Politically, it is opposed to socialism and monarchism. The Internationale and the former Kazakh Bloc are it's main competitors. At it's height the Boston Accord stretched across every continent. Many political scholars have concluded that it is the de facto superpower in the World; as the Oxford University's report on the Boston Accord cited it as being on an 'uncontrollable rise'. It's largest expanse would be Europe, an ambition admired specifically by Göthel .

With the fall of Kazakhstan, the Boston Accord remained uncontested until the rise of European nationalism. New governments were installed in former European states, such as the restoration of the German Empire with a fascist cabinet. America's last major objective on the continent was the intervention into the Anatolian crisis, invading the Ottoman Sultanate and restoring the Republic of Turkey. After this, America would make it an effort to withdraw from Europe to avoid any future conflict.

## Presidential History

The American Government revolved around a presidential constitutional government. There is one elected head of state, the *President of the United States,* along with it's Vice President. After inauguration, a President serves for 4 years with a limit of 2 terms. It is tradition for the previous President to deliver a letter of 'good luck' to their successor. Elections are determined by the popular vote, represented by the candidates political afflation, though it is legal for independent candidates to run.

## Culture, Demographics, and Economics

America has a stance of *fair immigration*, accepting many different peoples outside of slavery. Because of this, these foreign cultures have formed into one solidified American Culture, modeled after the English. The nation's geography let the economy prosper, which led to more immigrants.
