Democratic States of America

**The Democratic States of America** (DSA) officially the **Democratic Socialist States of America** (DSSA) was the collaborationist government of several American States during the country's occupation by the Triad powers and more specifically the Peoples Republic of China. It was a socialist state that spanned much of the North American West Coast as well as much of the Pacific during it's existence from 2059 to 2062. During it's existence, it was ruled by a one party state headed by a "General Secretary". It was created during the Third World War as a puppet State by the Peoples Republic of China.

It's 4 year existence was marked by unimaginable atrocities resulting in the wholesale slaughter of millions of Americans in the largest genocide of the 21st century. 53,085,546 Americans living along the west coast were murdered by this government during it's reign.

It was categorized as a "genocide state", a Nation whos only purpose is to conduct the murder of a specific group of people.

## Establishment

After the collapse of American forces in California the 38th PLA Army was entirely assigned to oversee the occupation of the American States and set up a provisional government. It's main goals were to oversee the extermination of all Americans living in the occupation and force the United States to exhaust recourses to retake the States thus stretching their forces too thin to make retaking Formosa and Korea impossible.

General Yang Meixiang was appointed First General Secretary of the DSA and would serve exactly 1 year before being assassinated.

## Government and Poltics

In theory it was ran by an upper and lower chamber legislature that would appoint the General Secretary and create policy but those only existed on paper and in reality all affairs were ran by the General Secretary with coordination from Beijing.

## Decline and Fall

During it's existence the government showed an extensive hatred for it's population, this was most shown by the numerus concentration and extermination camps set up to destroy the populations of the state.

The DSA faced constant insurrection and rebellion with the PLA having on several occasions to double then triple the forces on the continent just to hold on to it's territory.

The collapse of the DSA began when the United States Congress passed the "Emergency Mobilization Act" and drafted over 13 Million men for the purpose of retaking the United States. By June of 2061 the US had broken through and began to push into Nevada and Arizona.

Russia's collapse meant that the US could drive through Siberia right into China, even though this would have been nearly logistically impossible for the US to undertake it spooked the CCP enough to draw back PLA forces from the DSA to protect china.

After this was done the DSA Government began to disintegrate rapidly. By August, the US had retaken Baja California and Nevada and overran the DSA's Capital of San Diego forcing the government to flee upstate.

The rest of 2061 would see the DSA lose control of all it's holdings on the North American Continent with the 38th Army and Government fleeing North America for Hawaii, attempting to turn the chain of islands into a fortress.

January of 2062 would see yet again fleeing of the Government to the Philippines where it would hold it's last stand. By March 2062 all hope for the survival of the State had been lost, Americans and the world had discovered the death camps in Nevada and South California and this caused a furious need for revenge.

March 20, marked the end of the DSA as General Secretary Shí sǐ tú (食死徒) signed the surrender and moments after he did a Marine in attendance sprang from his seat and fatally shot sǐ tú killing him.

## Legacy

The D.S.A. is remembered as one of the most evil and brutal governments to have ever existed. It's sole purpose was to murder it's entire population. Much of the west coast United States were depopulated during it's existence and it would take 200 years for population numbers to reach pre-war levels. The U.S. created "Remembrance Day" to remember the victims of the American Genocide and each state that was occupied have their own state holidays to pay tribute.

Every year since 2062 the Governors of California, North California, San Diego, Baja California, Sonora, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, Alaska, Yukon, Hawaii, Vanuatu, Fiji, South Vietnam and Afghanistan meet in Sacramento to ritualistically burn the DSA and PRC flags in an annual act of perpetual defiance.
