American Empire

Ghost in the Shell meets Donald Trump

Subsidiary-Vice President

* P.J. Aimes (*The Summit*)

National Speaker

* David Jefferson Adams (*Shattered Union*)

National Justice

* Michael Dugan (*Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2*)

The **Glorious Imperial Empire of America**, or just simply, the **American Empire** that is one of nine nation states that make up the United Nation States of America. It combines some nationalism with Republican politics, human supremacist (for the most part), policies of the American Empire from Ghost in the Shell, American patriotism and southern comfort. It even supports segregation between humans and anything that doesn't look the least bit human or angelic.

## History

### During Apocalypse

During the apocalypse, much of the United States was devastated by various creations. In the southeast, the Everglades started to get more and more wild with gators of unusual size (GOUS's) started to attack many people dwelling in the swamplands, creatures known as Slendermen have abducted many people in Alabama and made them disappear. Same with the Body Snatchers but many were killed in a hurricane. Pirates from ages past started raiding the shores of Florida while gangs from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City started looting and pillaging Miami. The Dukes of Hazard plowed down many zombies in Georgia and the same with Confederate troops while high on whatever moonshine they were drinking. The creature from The Devil Below started terrorizing miners in Kentucky along with Psyclos from Battlefield Earth and shadow people from the film, Shadow People. Storms over Mississippi came by the power of Gideon Prosper as he destroyed all members of the Confederacy, zombies and other undesirables. That also include, the Chimera from Resistance. There are other problems that the southeast suffered but far too many to count.

However, Gideon Prosper and the Dukes of Hazard aren't the only ones saving the day. Members of the Enclave from Fallout came in with their Vertibirds along with Confederacy soldiers from the video game, Shattered Union, American Empire troops and cyborgs from Ghost in the Shell, various races that want to save people and gain citizenship in whatever new government may come of this. Even some of the rednecks come in and gun down many undead and monsters that threaten people along with remnants of the United States military.

### After Phase I

Weeks later, many people of the southern states united while being lead by a duplicate of Donald Trump with his vow to "Make America Great Again" under the advisement of members of the American Empire and the Enclave that was founded on October 19th. However, Joe Biden came with a proposition. He want to unite all the smaller nations into a much larger nation with all of them having their own autonomy. Trump was about to go against it, but members of both Enclave and agents of the American Empire convinced him to accept the offer because of the opportunities it presents. So, Trump agreed. And thus, the U.N.S.A. was conceived on October 27th, 2020.

### Phase II

When the galaxy got bigger and the real universe became more crowded, a consecutive order was given to have all micronations to be deported to other worlds. The American Empire did so so eagerly to get rid of those that won't fit with their definition of humanity that live in those micronations. Even at gun point to force many out.

## Society

People in this nation state believed that humans will triumph over any obstacle. Whether they are mutants looking like humans, humans with mystic powers, or as close to human-like, they are greated as humans. However, some more extreme human supremacists believe that only humans, as in normal humans, are the true masters. Even settling their prejudice towards other ethnic humans such as those of African-descent and set their sights towards those that are said to be a disgrace towards god or something. Even far as segregating the more human-like species from those that aren't human-like. Like Andorians, Centaurs, Greys, mutants with non-human like appearances, etc. This caused a bit of a divide between the African-American communities and other humans of other ethnicity. Since all humans are seen as superior, many are treated equals and are welcomed as long as they uphold those beliefs. An opportunity for them to be equals and no more divisions. Others refuse to take part and help those in need that aren't human since they know what it was like to be treated like a second-class citizen.

They are highly religious and accepted angels among their population. When the apocalypse hit, many Americans of the former United States went to their churches and prayed for salvation. When they did, many angels came down and protected their sanctuaries. Thus, any form of angelic beings have been accepted. The angels tried to get people to stop being racist, but no matter how hard they tried, people still believe that humans are the best. Places such as Chesapeake, Dalton and Orlando has the highest concentration of non-human-like lifeforms in the nation state.

There is a high amount of patriotism in the American Empire as they prepare for whatever another apocalypse may come as they stand firm in their belief in their superiority.

## Government

The nation is a federal constitutional presidential republic that borders on the lines of fascism as being right-wing activists. They believe that humans are supreme with the tenacity to survive, but they are willing to accept anything that looks human or angel-like. The subsidiary president does have total control of the government but only while elected into office. The senate is comprised of political figures with strong ties to powerful companies, political lineages and military figures. Same that could be said about the House of Representatives. The Republican Party is the most dominate political party in the American Empire.

Although, there is a high chance that it may become authoritarian if Trump doesn't accept his loss. As part of the U.N.S.A., it does have to follow what the president says along with the cabinet.

### Presidential Clone Controversy

There has been some controversy about the Donald Trump clone. Some conspiracy theorist believe that the clone is nothing more than a puppet rather than acting on free will. Some say he is controlled by the Enclave, others say Illuminate. There is no evidence that support this claim and the populace is too stubborn to believe in such tale. The truth is: no one knows, but it has been brought up more times than most people care.

## Military

The majority of the armed forces are comprised of volunteers that believe it is their patriotic duty to defend their new country. Yet some get drafted by the Patriot Act that was enacted by George W. Bush back during a terrorist attacks done on the United States. Many members of the Enclave make up the special forces that are sent to the most dangerous of warzones and inhospitable environments thanks to their power armor and mind-controlled Deathclaws.

Those that are less human-like are conscripted into a five year service to gain citizenship in the American Empire.

## Economy

Much of their economy comes from armament manufacturing with a wide array of weapons, tanks, military-grade starship weapon systems, etc. As a jingoistic nation, they see enemies in every direction and in every corner. So, the nation has a major military industrial complexes in its borders and are highly well guarded by the military. Zombies have been used for various testing on weapons after rounding up any holdouts or any roaming around.

With space travel now readily available, they can mine their own resources out in space from asteroids, barren worlds or volcanic planets in order to fill in their needs. Many of these resources include uranium, unobtanium, dilithium, tungsten, gold, lead, platinum, silver, antimatter materials and tritanium. All of these necessary for creating energy, consumer electronic goods, automotives, commercial and military ships and weaponry. All of these are necessary for the American Empire to be a major power in the known universe and the United Nation States.

Automobiles are largely based on the Corvegas from the Fallout games and slightly more advance with a lesser chance of atomic explosions. There are many VTOL vehicles but only available to high-class society. Another trade good involves cybernetics. Many people lost some of their body parts after the apocalypse so cybernetics were made to help replace them and having cybernetic augmentation is the new style and fashion trend in the American Empire. They also sell luggage and goods made from the skins of giant alligators that have been hunted and harvested with the meat being prized in holiday dishes. Many crops grown from vertical farms include wheat, barley, eggplants, lettuce, edible mushrooms, herbs, spinach and tomatoes.

Since most of their focus is on being the biggest power in the world, their economic rival in the UNSA is the Great Plains Federation since they are more open to other species.

## Trivia

* The flag, and others like it, were designed by DeviantArtist, YNot1989. But this image was from Villains Wiki.
* It may have been based on Ghost in the Shell, but it has a mix of the Enclave from Fallout, Donal Trump's policies, the Terran Empire from Star Trek and some bits of racism based on The Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40,000.
