Charles T. Shepherd (Current President as of January 27, 2021)

The **United States of America**, also referred to as **America** or the **United States**, was a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. In 2020, America lost its status as a superpower after a long period of civil unrest, and economic recessions. With America reduced to a corrupted and vulnerable shadow of her former self, the European Federation eventually replaced America as the the most powerful nation on Earth.

After Joseph Biden was overthrown in a bloody coup, the United States of America underwent a series of radical transformations, with the nation becoming an Ultranationalist state, while still claiming to be a federal constitutional republic. Under new president Charles Shepherd, the United States of America eventually transformed into the **Ultranationalist Republic of America** (**URA**) or simply **Ultranationalist America** (**UA**). Despite the official name change, Charles Shepherd and a large majority of Americans refer to the nation as the *United States of America*.

### Age of Unrest

In 2019, the Age of Unrest began with the 2019 Religious Riots. In February of 2019, a street preacher began to preach on the grounds of Evergreen Institute. Though the Holy Spirit of God in Him enabled the man to win people over, a majority of the student body responded angrily, perceiving the street preacher as a threat against their Constitutional right to "freedom of religion" and one's right to think for yourself. The street preaching soon came to a head when several Evergreen Institute students organized a mass protest against the street preaching, condemning the street preacher as a threat against the Constitutional right to freedom of religion. Students even complained to campus police about the man, but they did nothing. Still, the street preaching persisted, and on March 5th, Evergreen Institute students resorted to heckling and booing street preachers that preached to the institute. Still, the street preaching persisted and the students, fed up with the prosletyzing, angrily pelted the street preachers with food scraps and snowballs (during snowy weather). But their efforts seemed to be in vain: he still came back. This incensed students Doug Harris and Mathilda McCullum, who banded together and a couple of other fellow angry students decided to "go on the offensive", organizing a huge protest against the preachers. When the preachers persisted, McCullum and her fellow students resorted to verbal slander and condemnation, which soon attracted students all over the Evergreen Institute, many of whom joined the demonstration. Protesters began chanting slogans like, "Let Freedom Ring" and "Death to Religious Dogma!" One student even chanted, "Hail Satan," just to troll the street preachers. This soon escalated into a riot when the students began angrily throwing melted snow at the street preacher in an attempt to drive him away.

One day, Evergreen Institute student soon learned that Metallica would be playing a concert in Downtown St. Louis, and that the street preachers may be preaching there as well. As some of the students wanted to attend the concert, it was decided that some of the students would attend the concert, while others launch a protest against the street preachers. Sure enough, the street preachers were on the concert grounds, preaching against heavy metal and denouncing it as "Satanic music." This was the last straw for students Doug Harris and Mathilda McCullum: Harris, McCullum, and a couple of other fellow angry students launched a massive demonstration and publicly shamed the street preachers as they preached to the masses. When the preacher persisted, McCullum and her fellow students resorted to verbal slander and condemnation, which soon attracted other concertgoers who were also perturbed and angry that the preachers were ruining the show for everyone. Eventually, this escalated into physical violence when one student began physically assaulting the street preacher out of annoyance, at one point managing to destroy one of the signs carried by one of the preachers. From there, the demonstration became a massive brawl-millions of people swarmed the preachers and physically assaulted them, cursing their "fundamentalist" agenda, and at one point someone used a blowtorch to set the signposts regarding Christian doctrine of the Last Judgment on fire while another participant angrily shredded a banner proclaiming the wrath of God while shouting, "LONG LIVE FREEDOM!"

The incident soon attracted worldwide attention via the Internet, with thousands of students live-streaming the event on Facebook and uploading video footage of the incident on YouTube. One particular YouTube video, shot by Maglio, went viral, with Edward's footage, titled "The War Begins Here...." attracting millions of views seemingly overnight. Edward himself even became a poster child for the "Freethought Revolution".

Due to Edward's footage going viral, millions of people across the nation spoke of the video. Edward's footage was even broadcast live on various news stations. In addition to re-igniting the controversial debate between the right to protest and hate speech, Edward's video footage of the Metallica Concert Demonstration sparked a new debate as to whether street preaching was in itself a violation of the Separation of Church and State as declared in the US Constitution. The nationwide community as a whole was divided: some in the international community applauded the actions of the participants of the demonstration as "warriors of free thought", while others denounced the demonstration as an infringement on freedom of religion and a showcase of bigotry and hate speech. Edward himself eventually spoke publicly regarding allegations that Edward was promoting "hatred against Christianity", claiming that it was not his intention for the demonstration to become a riot and that he was merely showcasing to the world the people's right to freedom of expression. He also insisted that he had no part in assaulting the street preachers (which the video footage clearly shows; Edward did not physically assault anybody at any point during the demonstration), though he readily admitted that he participated in the verbal shaming of the street preachers during an interview with Fox News.  Edward's viral footage also inspired other students and various other people to hold similar protests against street preachers: one student at the University of California Berkley posted on YouTube a video of a similar demonstration against Oneness Pentecostal preachers preaching against a heavy metal concert. Another student recorded himself angrily cursing and ranting against the Westboro Baptist Church, while another young man recorded an incident involving an angry mob vandalizing the Westboro Baptist Church building itself.

In May of 2019, America decided to (unofficially) declare war on a new terrorist group known as The Eternals, a narco-terrorist organization that had effectively taken over the nation of Venezuela. It began with the kidnapping and murders of an American CIA agent and a British MI6 agent, as well as the kidnapping of two tourists, Carolyn Maynard and Olivia Martin. Fearing that two women would end up like the American and British spies if they weren't rescued, tourist Edward Maglio joined forces with some of his friends and the elusive British assassin known as Deathshade to rescue the hsotages and destroy the cartel/terrorist group.

The events of February and March of 2019 were perceived by some as the beginning of a more democratic society. However, in the eyes of various religious groups, these events seemed to spark what they called "the Age of Godlessness." In the summer of that year, the town of Arcadia was almost completely wiped out thanks to a new species of carnivorous parasitic organism. Although the US government tried to suppress the truth behind the outbreak, the existence of the parasite and the truth behind the outbreak was eventually exposed to the world thanks to a US-based hacker circle, an animal rights movement, four former US soldiers turned private mercenaries, and a group of tourists.

In December of that year, reports of a mysterious new virus emerged from Wuhan, China, eventually known as the Coronavirus. Despite the Chinese government's attempts to suppress the reality of the outbreak, the severity of the situation forced the Chinese government to acknowledge that it was facing a real biological threat. Wuhan was locked down.

A year later, in 2020 the situation worsened, as the virus appeared in the United States and eventually spread to other parts of the world, causing a global pandemic. Many local governments across the country ordered lockdowns and citizens were urged to socially distance from each other, as well as refraining from touching the face or mouth or eyes after handling objects.

### Forever changed

A year later, in 2020, Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, having been defeated by Joseph Biden. Unfortunately this didn't go over well with the American public. Months into his presidency, Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris were overthrown in a violent coup and executed on charges of treason against the United States. Replacing Biden and Harris were former US Army general Charles Shepherd and his wife Elizabeth, who were immediately installed as President and Vice President respectively following the successful overthrow of the Biden administration.

Under Charles Shepherd's administration, the United States of America, now renamed the *Ultranationalist Republic of America*, changed dramatically; in mid 2021, Roe v. Wade was overturned and LGBTQ+ friendly policies nationwide, which were instituted under Barack Obama, which were under threat due to Trump's presidency and on the verge of being restored by Biden, were completely eliminated. Thanks to the Shepherd administration, school prayer was reinstituted across the country. High schools and colleges across the nation were mandated to teach both Biblical Creationism *and* Darwinian evolution, as opposed to just Darwinian evolution like it was done previously. The phrase "One Nation Under God" was reinstated in the Pledge of Allegiance. Sex-Education was also removed from high school cirriculum, allowing parents to teach their children about sexual education. In a shocking reversal, pornography was also re-criminalized, with penalties ranging from twenty to thirty years in prison if found with any form of porn. Interestingly, however, medical marijuana remained legalized.

As the new President of the Ultranationalist Republic of America, Charles continuously condemned the nation of Patruydan once news of its human rights violations reached the public. However, Congress never issued a formal declaration of war against Patruydan.

Shepherd's administration immediately drew criticism from the liberal community, arguing that Shepherd's Administration set up a slippery slope that would lead to America adopting a state religion. In a televised news conference, Shepherd responded to such allegations by claiming that everything he did was done to restore America to the vision the Founding Fathers intended and that his policies relating to religion and politics were never meant to set up a state religion in America. Still, that did not stop conspiracy theorists from spreading lies that Shepherd would take actions to eliminate the Establishment Clause from the American Constitution one day.

## Territory and Geography

The Ultranationalist Republic of America stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It is bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the South. The nation has an abundance in various natural resources, including shale oil, coal, ore, copper, lead, molybdenum, phosphates, uranium, bauxite, gold, iron, mercury, nickel, potash, silver, tungsten, zinc, petroleum, natural gas and timber. There is also abundant wildlife in the territories.

## Government

Like the United States of America that preceded it, the Ultranationalist Republic of America is a constitutional republic and representative democracy, "in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law." As laid out in the Constitution of the United States, the government is regulated by a system of checks and balances. There are three divisions of government, federal, state, and local.

The federal government comprises of the Legislative, Judicial and Executive branches. The legislative branch consists of the bicameral Congress, which is split into the House of Representatives and the Senate. This branch makes federal laws, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment. The Executive Branch involves the President. The President can veto legislative bills before they become law, and appoints the members of the Cabinet (subject to Senate approval) and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies, pardon criminals, and, in some cases, can directly control the US military (as commander-in-chief). The Judicial Branch consists of the Supreme Court, as well as the lower courts. The judges are appointed by the Presidentwith Senate approval. They interpret laws and overturn those deemed unconstitutional.

## Military

The United States Armed Forces is divided into the US Army, US Air Force, US Navy and US Marines. Interestingly, only the United States Army changed its name after the name of the nation had changed. Following the coup, the United States Army changed its name to the United Continental Army (UCA).

## Flag

The flag of the United States has changed considerably over the years.
