Pacific States

Distinction flag of the Western Government

Official flag of the USA

Officially the **United States of America**, it is also known as the **Pacific States** colloquially. It is also considered the **Government of the Western Territories of the United States of America** by nations that recognise the Socialist Republic of America. It is what remains of the old United States following the Second American Civil War.

## The Pacific States during the War

Following the coup by MacArthur, governors of the Pacific states have assembled into a mutual support pact to secure the West. And this Pact would materialise as open rebellion spreads across the Red Belt and MacArthur has imposed a so-called National Salvation Junta in place of the government, as said government is now at war with him. Not to mention worsened by the declaration of Huey Long to form his own government in the South. Socialist agitations, uprisings and an utter collapse of political hierarchy as the Civil War spreading across America. The Pacific Governors conveyed with whatever part of the US Government, Senate and House of Representatives present in the West to form a Pacific States Provisional Government (Their ranks would grow as the old political establishment flee West from the conflict in the East Coast and losing Maryland to nearly a full relocation of the American pre-war political leaderships.).

### The Republic of Seattle.

The fall of Washington D.C was catastrophic to the anti-socialist efforts across America and a great inspiration for socialist elements laying dormant until then. Uprisings sparked in multiple areas but most notable, Seattle. The original 1940 uprising was thwarted effectively by the National Guards however by 1946 they had rebuilt the movement with support from the Reds Revolutionary Armed Forces. Massive riot and armed insurrection soon seized several cities and area in the Washington states and California. This threat was so severe that the plan to bring the idle forces of the West pass the Rocky to reinforce the Anti-Red effort was abandoned, and most of the troops recalled were ordered to quell rebellions. Fighting would last nearly a year until the last pocket of resistance in Seattle surrendered. A White terror soon followed.

### Army Committee for the Restoration of Democracy

Also known as the Army Democracy Committee, formed on the morning of May 8th, 1947 in the Stillwell's Mutiny as a large part of the Constitutionalist Army under the non-socialist generals revolted in Missouri and Northern Texas. The immediate agreement was signed with the Western Government to bring the forces of the ADC into the war on the side of the Westerners and the launch of Operation Tacoma while the Constitutionalist ranks are in chaos, this resulted in the liberation of Louisiana, Texas and parts of the Plain all the way until St. Louis resulting in the 4th Battle of St. Louis. However, the Western forces retreated to a secondary more defensible line after during the 1948 GOU, returned most of the plain and East of the Mississippi territory, a failure in linking up with the 15th Army in Florida of Admiral Leahy, who was forced to evacuate and leave Florida open to the Reds. It has based its headquarters at Fort Worth. Much of the territory under the control of the ADC is almost autonomous under the Generals, whose political positions vary much from the Westerners.

## Political Factions

A lot of overlapping occurs in the various factions of the forces that rendezvoused in the West however, they mostly resemble a pre-war political scene of America.

### National Unity Party

Not officially abolished, however, both the Democrats and Republicans are in a power-sharing coalition that is commonly referred collectively as the National Unity Party. The most powerful and the current dominating political establishment in the West, owing to its stability during the war and the failure of the MacArthurite and the Longist.

In-game position: Social Liberal, Social Conservative, Authdem.

### Moderate Longist

The major opposition followed the merger with of the Longist Congress to reform the United States. Currently being led by Earl Long who took over the ALP and de-facto leader of all the parties that backed Long during the Union Government period. Its position more moderate and on the side of willing cooperation with the Western establishment after the disaster of the civil war, although they are still trying to regain their leadership of the government. It occupates Social Conservative and Authdem.

### Radical Longists/Dallas MacArthurite

Two factions bordering the same political alignment, the Right-wing of the Longist movement oppose the conciliation with the Dem-Rep establishment and are consist of former KKK, Silver Legion and many right-wing factors of Huey Long's clique. The Dallas MacArthurite refers to General Patton.

In-game position: National Corporatist

### American Nationalists

A unique political movement born from the results of the Civil War rather than a continuation of pre-war politics, the League of American Nationalists is created from the collapse of the AFL and Progressive Party along with the marginalisation of progressive elements in the Democratic-Republic mainstream. United around the new bureaucracy of West America its under the leadership of Dr. Ernest Arthur Morgan, a key major difference for the Nationalists is that the civil war was not the Red's fault, the Reds is but the result, the result of neglections, failed economical and social policies of the bankrupt politicans of old America in combination with military gangsterism of some sections of the respectable class. They occupy the position of Social Democrats in-game.
