United Republics of America

## United Republics

The **United Republics of America and Liberia** (the **U.R.A.L.** or **URAL**), commonly known as the **United Republics of America** (the **U.R.A.** or **URA**), the **United Republics**, the **Federation** or **America** is a country in North America. It is a federation, consisting of 9 *republics*, which are all located in continental America, except for Liberia, which is located in West Africa. It is populated by over 150 million inhabitants, making it the most populous country on the North American continent, and one of the most populated countries in the world.

The United Republics is a highly developed country, also possessing one of the most powerful armies in the world. It ranks high in quality of life, healthcare, education, military strength, income and wealth. It is a major economic, technological and scientific force.

Ever since its foundation, America followed a policy of political isolationism, especially outside of North American affairs. However, its government has had friendly relations with the United Kingdom of Northern England and the Southern States, helping them become independent, to the point of establishing a formal alliance with them afterwards, and helping its government depose of the German Provisional Government, after the latter started a coup against Joseph Snow's administration.

## History

### Foundation

The United Republics of America were initially formed on January 20th 1919 between the Republic of Kentucky, Jerryland, and the Illinois Commonwealth, with the Union Act being ratified on 23rd February 1919, during when several more countries joined the Federation.

### Early History *(1920-1940)*

Upon its foundation, the American government implemented a strict policy of political isolationism. The first presidential election was held on 18th of May 1920, which ended with the inauguration of Abraham Glenn, as well as the rise of four major parties; the National Salvation Party, the Republican Party, which Abraham Glenn was a part of, the Moderates and the National Progressive Pact. Glenn was later re-elected for a second term, before retiring from politics as a whole.

In the 30s, America went through a massive rise in its welfare system, during when free, universal healthcare was introduced, and the Privation Elimination Act was ratified, which aimed at eliminating then-widespread poverty.

### Roaring '40s & The Aftermath *(1941-1955)*

At the beginning of the year 1941, the United Republics of America experienced a period of economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge, as well as massive technological, scientific, and industrial advancements. During that time, American economic influence around the world also increased. In the mid-40s, the American Armed Forces began to modernize, after the government announced the Military Enlargement Program.

However, on September 28th 1948, then-president Thomas Churchill was assassinated by a far-right activist during a rally. This event deeply affected the politics of the country, as well as its populace. Afterwards, America slowly went back into obscurity, while the Roaring '40s concluded.

### Modern History *(1956-present)*

During the New English Revolutionary War, the American government decided to back the rebels by subsidizing them and supporting them with weaponry. Meanwhile, a resurgence in Liberia occurred against British occupiers. After the war was over, the United Republics of America signed a formal alliance with the newly-formed United Kingdom of New England and the Southern States.

Shortly after the resurgence in Liberia ended with the rebels' victory, the local peoples' support for joining the Federation turned out to be higher than thought. Eventually, the Liberian government joined the United Republics following major public pressure.

After the Coup of '78, in which the UKNESS was disestablished and replaced, the United Republics voiced their disapproval of the German Provisional Government. Furthermore, they have also collaborated with the New English government-in-exile to depose of the German monarchy, which ultimately led to direct American intervention on 18th June 1984, during when they advanced their armies to Boston. Joseph Snow's government was reinstated shortly after.
