### 1945-1950

After the Japanese army was defeated in the Philippines, the US began it's invasion of Japan;*"Operation Downfall".* During the trinity test however, much of the ships that would have been used to return the American veterans back home. After this disaster hit the Americans, a radio signal was sent out in hopes of reaching the mainland of America, but to no avail.

Many wounded American soldiers took initially temporary refugee in the American bases in the Philippines to repair ships destroyed and nurse those near death to health. But after the total collapse of the world economy, and limited supplies for the Americans, many died and the rest became stuck. But across the sea on the Island of taiwan, General McArthur had set up a military government on the Island. Upon hearing this news General Nimitz used his remaining men, who had migrated to the inner cities (what remained of them anyway) and set a command center on the Island Occidental.

But at this point in time with the Philippines having been legally granted independence, the government in Luzon did not take this action lightly. But with the flood and no Americans to help with the Huk rebellion, they were unable to deal with General Nimitz at the time.

During his tenure, General Nimitz lead with near absolute power. His first action under his tenure was to draft a general Constitution that would lay the foundation for the nations operation. And with the new constitution,He appointed James richardson as his second in command (VP).

While the government cannot ban opposition party's, the government effectively rules as a one party state.

This reform, while not publicly admitted, Is largely for the Federalist Party to retain political control. The voting system approved by the government would place each person's vote depending on the location of their homes. A greater emphasis on cities was made and this system supports that.

For those who dwell in cities, the votes are considered 8 times more valuable than a person living within the rural communities.

Cities= 2

Rural provinces= .25
