People's Union of America

The **People's Union of America** is a socialist federation in North America founded in 1987. The country is considered the legal successor of the United States of America by most of the world and holds the seat once held by the USA in the United Nations' Council. The title as successor of the USA has however been contested by the defunct Republic of America and the government of Alaska.

In the 20th and 21st century, the People's Union of America is considered one of the world's major powers of the Former US, and since its introduction into the Assembly of Democratic Communists, it has become a major power worldwide, helping spread Democratic Communism worldwide.

## **HISTORY**

For history of socialism in the United states pre-1984, see *here.*

The Northeastern United States was the home of the Communist Party USA, which held a core belief that The United States could be a united, socialist nation, opposed to the Californian Worker's Party. Despite this, calls for a independent Rust Belt, New York, or Appalachia grew after the victory of Ronald Reagan in the 1984 Presidential Election.

The party's beliefs in a united US waned again after the *1985 Workers March* in New York City, which advocated for a Revolution across the Northeastern United States and Rustbelt.

In 1986 with the succession of California, the party voted on a Independence clause in their manifesto, which didn't pass, though chose to condemn the Californian Declaration of Independence.

In 1987 after the brutality of the American regime was shown in California and Texas, and the collapse of the United States was apparent, the CPUSA officially made an Independent Socialist State part of their Manifesto, and then held a Rally in New York City a week later, where Gus Hall would announce their declaration of Independence as the People's Union of America.

Slowly other states would declare their succession into the People's Union of America. Though in 1988 Kentucky, Virginia, DC, and Puerto Rico were all fought over between the PUA and Republic of America, or RA. This was know as Bloody Virginia, as paramilitaries would fight in the streets for individual cities. This would end in the 1988 East Coast Land Treaty, giving the PUA Kentucky and Northern Virginia, and the RA DC, Southern Virginia, and Puerto Rico.

The 90s was a time of rebuilding and implementing their "Cultural Reform". opposed to the total cultural revolution of the Plains. The Assembly of Democratic Communists was also established during this time. strengthening ties with other Democratic Communist nations such as France or Italy.

In 1999 5 ORA members ran into the PUA capitol building and blew their bomb vests at the same time, completely destroying the building. After the ORA was found guilty, troops built up against the Republican border, almost starting a war. This also resulting in a massive ramp in surveillance of the Freenet, known as the "War on Terrorists".

In 2009, after a PUA secret caravan to New Afrika was destroyed, the PUA and RA declared war, eventually unraveling into a war across the entire Atlantic Coast when New England, the Plains, Florida, and Texas joined. This war, known as the Great American War, was both very deadly and very traumatizing for the public, especially after the Nuclear Bombings of 2010, when Duke, shortly before commiting suicide, ordered the nuclear stockpile to be fired. There was a vote on to shoot back at the Republic, but decided not to as the Republic collapsed.

## **ORGANISATION**

The PUA is a democratic state and a semi-presidential republic. Elections are held every four years for the elections of the Congress of the People's Union and the President. The President is head of state and has the power to nominate a Prime Representative who holds executive power and nominates the cabinet, at condition that he be approved by a Congress majority. A minority cabinet can however be approved in case of impossibility of forming a majority, but not with less than 40% of seats. If that is not possible, snap elections can be called.

The Congress is divided into two chambers: the House of Representatives (400) and House of Assemblies (100). The Representatives are elected proportionally without electoral college. The minimum soil to get a seat is 0.25%, the difference gets attributed to the more voted party as a majority prize. Candidates can be put forward not just by parties but other mass organisations too, such as trade unions, youth leagues and farmers' organisations. The Assemblies' members are divided into four groups: Indian, Black, White and remainings, with 25 seats each.

Until 2012, the President held much more power, and was not elected but rather chose himself a successor. This was abolished by the LaRiva Administration together with the entire office, which was however restored in its current form two years later.
