United States (Anglosphere)

The **United States of the Anglosphere**, often just called by its main predecessor's acronym U.S. or the U.S.A. is the main country of the scenario Anglosphere. Located mainly in North America and Oceania, and also occupies a part of Europe from the British Isles, the USA is the largest country on the planet, spanning over 26 million square kilometers, and is home to over 550 million people, making it the third most populated country on Earth, behind India and China.

The USA was born from a merger between the former United States of America and the main Commonwealth States of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. These five nations were collectively called the Core Anglosphere, and they had a deep history of cooperation between them prior to the merge. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2025, the United Kingdom fell into a political crisis between Republicans and Monarchists, along with regional separatism and the issue of Ireland. The crisis seen in other Anglophone nations like Canada, America and Australia caused then-President of the United States Mike Pence to propose a radical idea: Merge the Core Anglosphere into one superstate, under the guise of "combating illiberalism from Russia and China". After a tense election in 2026, the nation was founded on the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the former United States of America.

## History

Main Page: History of the United States (Anglosphere)

As recently as 10 years ago, the idea of an united Anglosphere did not exist. At least, it wasn't taken seriously as a genuine idea to fix the United Kingdom or the rest of the Commonwealth. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, along with the tensions between the UK and the rest of the European Union follwoing Brexit changed many people's ideas about what the UK's status in global politics should even be. Some advocated for a more neutral stance, sticking with the current strategy of allying with America while continuing trade partnerships with the EU; others believed that the UK should use the Commonwealth to their advantage, and rebuild their Empire via indirect means. Across the pond, Canada and the United States are also debating fiercely about their future of the world as well. After the relative failure of Afghanistan, and the ineffective response to the Russo-Ukrainian War, America finds their status as the "world police" tougher than ever. Canada, Australia and New Zealand finds themselves inan increasingly unenviable position, as quite a decent amount of people felt that the government's foreign policy is to solely appease the United States. Although the government denied, former Canadian Prime Minster (now the leader of LDU) Justin Trudeau admitted that they could perhaps try to move away from America and be closer to both Europe and even China.

In 2024, following one of the tightest elections in UK history, the Conservative Party were able to stay in power by a very tight margin. The Tories only recieved 278 seats in contrast to the 360 seats, while Labour got 275 seats, a massive increase from the 199 seats they had. UK's major third party, the Liberal Democrats had their seats more than tripled from 13 to 40, with the SNP taking 44 seats, and the remaining 13 seats going to other smaller parties. This split parliament, along with the fact that nobody won an outright majority meant that the UK was essentially stuck in a limbo for months on end, before the Conservatives were finally able to form a coliation with the SNP and the Lib Dems, keeping Boris Johnson in power. After the election however, the UK finds itself much weaker than it has ever been, and after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2025, the UK was basically left irrelavent on the global stage, and combined with a depression later that year, it meant that Britain is on the brink of collapse.

In 2025, former Vice President Mike Pence became the 47th President of the United States following a close election between the Democratic nominees, the running mate of Hilary Clinton in 2016, TIm Caine, as well as prominent Senator Jon Ossoff. The new Vice President Mike Pompeo believed that America has to seize this oppunitunity while the other countries, known as CANZUK is weakened, to finally complete the dream of United Anglosphere to combat Russia and China, even though the former is essentially an economic dead corpse. And so, on September 5th, Pompeo and Pence (collectively known as the Mike Administration) approached Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the UK with an offer: Join the United States and create one united Anglosphere with elections held. All five of those countries felt like there really isn't much of a choice, so they all accepted it. On January 31st, 2026, the Anglophone Unification Election was held, and after a very tense few hours, all five countries voted to join the United States in a very close vote. In the UK, the votes were literally split 50.5% for joining the USA, and 49.5% against, which understandably caused protests and riots, many claiming the election was rigged.

Nevertheless, the bill in all 5 of the countries was passed, and on the stroke of midnight on July 4th, 2026 (exactly 250 years since the creation on the United States), Mike Pence, Justin Trudeau, Anthony Albanese, Jacinda Ardern, Peter Casey and Boris Johnson hold hands together as they unveils the flag of the new USA, with Mike Pence declaring the formation of the United States of the Anglosphere. For the reminder of Pence's presidency, it was more about sorting out the new House of Representives, which is now supposed to be representing around 1.1 Million people per district instead of the original 760,000. Due to a 1929 law that locked the House of Representives at 435 members, Pence and his cabinet had to make a tough decision: Either stick with the 1929 law and redraw the borders with 435 seats, or to expand the Capitol and add extra seats instead. Pence chose the former, and as a result, some areas were not very well represented like the new State of Cornwall, now having Cornwall, Plymouth and North Devon as a congressional district, with Devon's congressional district only having around 800,000 people despite the fact that all of Devon on their own have enough people to be one congressional district.

In the first days post-unification, the country is in a controlled chaos. While everything has to be reorganized, the country as a whole remained somewhat stable. The annexation of Ireland and the UK however stirred enough anger from Europe that the Europeans later left NATO, causing the end of the alliance. The Americans would complete the political and social transition in 2028, as they completed the admission of 20 new states into the new country. As the 2028 Presidental Election dawned, the Conservatives and the Republicans initally ran seperately, but eventually bonded over due to their conservative views. They would later win the elction against the Democrats, led by Chelsea Clinton. 2029 would then saw the establishment of the new Angelic Labour Party and the Liberal Democratic Union, formed from former CANZUK parties with similar views. The 2030 House of Representives elections then saw a whopping 8 parties gain seats, with the ALP, LDU, RTC and the ADP all getting roughly 1/5th of the votes. It's clear that if this new United States wants to have a functional government, the parties will either have to merge even further or to form coliations.

Now in 2032, Mike Pence's presidency is coming to an end. The Presidental Election saw a whole host of different parties declaring their own candidates: Eric Trump for the Republican-Tory; Jacinda Ardern for the ALP; Jon Ossoff for the ADP and Ed Davey for the LDU. Oh yeah, and chuck in Nigel Farage for the CANZUK Party as well, along with Andrew Yang as an independent candicate, this new election could either tear the Anglosphere apart just six years after its creation, or it could mark the beginning of the Anglophone Nations, together as one united country, against the Europeans, the Russians and the Chinsese.

## Politics

The United States is a constitutionally federalist union, comprising of 70 states, with 20 being the former territories of Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The President of the United States is Mike Pence, who serves as the Head of State. Before the creation of the Anglosphere, Pence holds the unilateral power to propose laws, and sign bills should an act be passed. After the election of the Anglican Labour Party in the 2026 Parliamentary Elections however, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern reformed the role of the Congress to match those with the other former Anglophone nations, which was passed by the slimmest of margins in a vote on April 4th, 2027. The change meant that the President became more of an overseer in the running of the Parliamentary Government, instead of being in charge. The Lower House is called the House of Representives, with each Representive represents their local area, and addresses their concerns to the government. There are 435 members within the Assembly, though a proposal has been put foward to abolish the 435 seat limit this year, and instead replace it with 1000 seats plus the speaker, who will be allowed to vote if the votes are tied at 500-500.

The Upper House is called the House of Senate, which is home to 140 Senators. The Senate is the final hurdle to pass laws, and before 2029, it was controlled almost 50-50 by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. After another change in the constitution by Vice President Boris Johnson, the Senate became fully independent from party politics, as all members are now required to not be a member of any party before becoming a Senator. This, as Vice President Johnson described, will help with the bureacracy of passing laws.

## Political Parties

Since the creation of the Anglosphere, four major parties has emerged from the member states, and competes to dominate the future of the nation. These are as follows:

### Republican-Tory Coalition

While not an official party, the Republican Party of the United States and the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom has been working together since the Creation of the Anglosphere in 2026. As the dominant right-wing party, the RTC is mostly popular among the older generation, the American Deep South, the American Midwest and the British South. On the Republican wing, they are led by Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary of State during the Trump Administration; while the Tory wing is led by the populist Jacob Rees-Mogg. Both of them represent the Trumpist Faction, the radicalist side of the RTC, and they are challenged by the One-Nation Conservatives, led by former Prime Minister of the UK David Cameron.

### Anglican Labour Party

The Anglican Labour Party, often refered to as just "Labour", is the result of a merger between the New Zealand, Australian and British Labour Party. As the largest party in the Congress after the 2030 General Election, the ALP is considered to be the main left-wing party within the Anglosphere, and is popular among city dwellers and the younger generation, though are hated by American Conservatives. The ALP is led by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who now serves as the first Prime Minister of the Anglosphere, though her position is challenged by the Democratic Socialist faction of the party, led by Angela Rayner.

### American Democratic Party

The ADP, as the only party to not have been tampered by the chaos of the political situation in the Anglosphere following the merge, is the continuation of the original Democratic Party. They refused a merger with the ALP shortly after the country was created, and as a result, shifted towards a more center-wing political focus. The ADP are the 3rd largest party in the Anglosphere, behind the RTC and Labour, and are led by Georgian Senator Jon Ossoff. He is currently running for President in 2032, though his position as the Party Leader is also challenged by more radicalist Democrats in the party, seeking to turn the Anglosphere into a truly apolitical government.
