United States of America

In God We Trust

Elysia, east of the Philades Continent, outside of the Civilized Regions (currently)

### Population

331,449,281 (2020 Census)

The **United States of America** (**U.S.A.** or **USA**), commonly known as the **United States** (**U.S.** or **US**) or just **America**, is the nation around which the events of *Summoning America* series take place.

The United States consists of 50 states, a federal district, five major unincorporated territories, nine Minor Outlying Islands, and 326 Indian reservations. It was the world's third-largest country on Earth by both land and total area. With a population of over 333 million, it was the most populous country in the Americas and the third-most populous on Earth. The national capital of the United States is Washington, D.C., and its most populous city and principal financial center is New York City.

However, due to unexplained circumstances, on April 19, 2021, the entirely of the United States, as well as all of its military forces, mysteriously vanished from the surface of the Earth after the planet is engulfed in a massive storm. After the storm clears, the nation found itself surrounded by vast oceans on an alien planet known as Elysia.

Due to its new geographic location in that peripheral region of the planet that contains all the nations with the most primitive level of science and technology, far away from the 3 civilized regions, the United States was initially classified as a "barbarian country". However, this status was very quickly put to the challenge when the Americans made a name for themselves by thwarting the Kingdom of Louria's conquest of the Rodenius continent and bringing the majority of their neighboring countries under their sphere of influence. After defeating the reigning superpower of the 3rd Civilized Region, the Parpaldia Empire, the Holy Mirishial Empire managed to obtain sufficient intelligence and properly access the capabilities of America, officially recognizing it as a superpower and a driving force of global politics on Elysia.

## History

### The Origins

The United States of America is one of the youngest nations on Earth despite its level of development. The first historical record of humans entering the North American continent is as far back as 15,000BC, when people who will eventually become known as the "Paleo-Indians" migrated from Siberia across the then Bering Land Bridge. Over time, indigenous cultures in North America grew increasingly sophisticated, managing to develop advanced agriculture, architecture, metal smithing, and complex societies.

During the late 15th century, the Europeans began colonizing North America, the first of the colonists that will eventually build the United States are British Pilgrims that arrived at Virginia in 1607, these pilgrims (the majority of which are Protestants seeking religious freedom) first settled in Jamestown and later established Plymouth Colony, the first permanent British colony, in 1620.

Unfortunately for the Native Americans, the arrival of the Europeans marked the decline of their population due to infectious diseases such as smallpox and measles, neither of which the natives have immunity to due to the lack of domesticated animals in their societies. Conflict also broke out between various indigenous nations and the colonists, while initially the 2 sides developed a mutual dependency with each other, Settlers traded for food and animal pelts, and Native Americans traded for guns, tools, and other European goods. But European missionaries and many others felt it was important to "civilize" the Native Americans and urged them to adopt European agricultural practices and lifestyles as well as convert them to "servants of God" like themselves. And with the increased European colonization of North America, to the point where native population is eclipsed by the colonists', Native Americans were often displaced or killed during armed conflicts.

In the meantime, many of the colonists also began trafficking African slaves into colonial America via the transatlantic slave trade. This eventually developed into the plantation industry of the southern states, where black slaves served as the primary source agricultural labor to grow cash crops such as cotton or sugar. Slavery in general is often a divisive subject in the colonial society, many debated its religious and moral implications, and several colonies passed acts for or against it.

### Revolution and Independence

Eventually, the then British America grew into the Thirteen Colonies, these consisted of the New England Colonies (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) the Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware), and the Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia), and by 1770 the population has risen to approximately 2.1 million (excluding Native American population) which is equivalent to roughly 1/3 of the population of Britain.

During the 1760s, however, the British Parliament passed a number of acts that were intended to bring the American colonies under more direct rule from the British metropole and increasingly intertwine the colonial economies with those of Britain's. The colonists, who have previously enjoyed a relatively high level of autonomy, objected to be taxed by a government in which they had no direct representation. The passing of the Stamp Act of 1765 drastically increased tensions between Britain and the colonies as it essentially imposed internal taxes on most items published and printed in the colonies. The Townshend Acts passed during 1766 and 1768, intended to enforce the right of the British Parliament had to tax the colonies, also caused tension to flare.

In response, the British deployed troops to quell unrest in the city of Boston, this disastrously accumulated in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770 where 9 British soldiers opened fire on a crowd of protestors that were harassing them, killing 5 colonists. Anti-British sentiment grew tremendously. One of the first acts of violet uprising occurred in Newport, Rhode Island in 1772 when the political group Sons of Liberty captured and incinerated the customs vessel HMS *Gaspee*. Later on in 1773, the infamous Boston Tea Party incident occurred on December 16, 1773, when the Sons of Liberty strikes once more, taking over entire shipments of tea from the British East Indian Company and pouring all of the cargo into the Boston Harbor.

In response to the impromptu tea party, the British passed a series of punitive laws targeting Massachusetts, these eventually became known as the Intolerable Acts. In response, the colonies rallied behind Massachusetts, and during September and October of 1774, 12 of them sent delegates to the city of Philadelphia, where they held the First Continental Congress at Carpenters’ Hall, discussing their common cause of resisting the British Parliament's oppressive ruling. While a petition was drew for King George III to repeal the Intolerable Acts, but it ended in failure.

On April 19th, 1775, the American Revolutionary War officially started, the British troops faced off against the newly formed Continental Army as well as Patriot Minutemen. Each of the 13 colonies formed a Provincial Government to take power from the former colonial government and suppress Loyalists. The minutemen in particular gave the British troops a particularly hard time, as not only do they have better knowledge of the local terrain as well as plenty of support from the Patriots, but also their guerrilla tactics proved to be particularly effective. Ironically, their disorganized nature also make it frustrating at times for the Continental Army to cooperate with them.

The Second Continental Congress was held at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Founding Fathers denounced King George III as a tyrant who trampled the colonist's rights. On June 14, 1775, George Washington was appointed the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Later on July 2nd, Richard Henry Lee's resolution of declaring the 13 United Colonies as "free and independent states" was accepted. 2 days later, the Declaration of Independence was unanimously adopted.

> We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
>
> Thomas Jefferson, Committee of Five, *United States Declaration of Independence*

While the British capture of New York in the summer of 1776 served as a major setback for the United Colonies, the British still find great difficulties in routing Washington's forces and continued facing opposing from the minutemen. The turning point came in October 1777, where Continental Army emerged victorious in the Saratoga campaign. This prompted Britain's long time rival France and its ally Spain to enter the war in support of the United Colonies, turning what was initially an uprising into a global conflict.

In the southern theaters, the war effort was looking bleak for the British as well, while they managed to capture several territories, they failed to enlist enough volunteers from the Loyalists to actually maintain effective control of them. This eventually accumulated in a combined American and French victory in the siege of Yorktown, securing an American victory of the war.

On September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, formally ending the American Revolutionary War and confirming the new nation's complete separation from the British Empire. Nearly all the territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Great Lakes are now charted as American, with the British retaining control of northern Canada (then still known as British North America), and Florida returned to Spainish control once again.

### Manifest Destiny and the Civil War

Originally, from 1781 to 1789, America existed as a Confederation, but it was soon proven that the decentralized government is simply too ineffective, it had no power to tax, enforce laws, regulate trade, or maintain a standing military. This led the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, where the United States Constitution was authored and ratified in state conventions next year. The Constitution reorganized the government into a federation administered by three branches. And although George Washington willingly relinquished power, he became the first President elected under the new constitution.

Westward expansion commenced in earnest in the late 18th century. In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase was successful, and the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq mi (2,140,000 km2; 530,000,000 acres) of land in Middle America from France. However, only a small fraction of the aforementioned land was actually under France control, the rest are mostly inhabited by Native Americans. Many of which are displaced either by trade or by conquest.

America's relationship with the British at first are far from amicable. The combination of trade restrictions, forced conscription of American sailors and support for Native resistances; and a possible desire for America to annex British North America lead to the war of 1812. The war lasted about 2.5 years but eventually came to a draw with neither side gaining or loosing any territory. Spain however, ceded West Florida to the United States, and later on the entirely of Florida and other Gulf Coast territory in 1819 due to economic pressure and wars of independence in Latin America.

### World War 1

In 1914, War broke out in Europe and the US was quick to not get involved in a war they deemed a Europe conflict. The US supported the Allies more than the Central powers but conducted trade for both sides normally as the US was neutral in the war.

In 1917, the US officially joins war on the Allie's side when German submarines resumed unrestricted submarine warfare in which all ships could be sunk and US intercepted a telegram, that was sent by Germany, that offered Mexico territory it loss to the US in exchange for its support.

The war mostly consisted of trench warfare, artillery bombardment, and new developments of using aircrafts as reconnaissance. However, there was the new invention of tanks that was meant to overcome trench warfare.

In 1918, during fall was when the war came to end and led to the Central powers disarming and greatly weakened and forced to pay reparations to the Allies.

## Geography

The United States of America is located to the east of the 3rd Continent which is also known as the Philades Continent. The United States mainland is about 2741.5 miles (4412 km) in length from coast to coast. Its landmass is 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million square km). To its north, it has a border with Canada and to its south it has a border with Mexico. It is part of the North America continent within the north western hemisphere. To its east is the Atlantic ocean and to its west is the Pacific ocean. Along with the Gulf of Mexico being down to its southeastern

It encompasses the Rocky mountains and the Apalachin mountains. The Grand Canyon, and vast wilderness. It also had 5 great lakes in its midwestern parts, but due to the transference it lost majority of the lakes.

With the transference, most of its military bases were transported along with it onto small islands. Its territories like Guam and Puerto Rico were also transported with it too, alongside others.

With Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam being stationed closer to the mainland. With Alaska directly above the US mainland and it being directly surrounded by ocean and no land borders with other countries.

## Culture & Politics

The Americans in general strongly believe in what is best summed up as the "American Creed". The main values of said creed includes liberty, individualism, equality under the law, democracy, social equality, property rights, strong work ethic, competitiveness, altruism and a preference for small, limited government.

Freedom of speech is a key part of American culture, thanks to the 1st Amendment of the American Constitution. Even flag desecration, hate speech, blasphemy, and lese-majesty are considered legally protected forms of expression in the United States.

As such, modern day United States is often described as a "homogenizing melting pot" and a "heterogeneous salad bowl", and home to a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values. American culture in general exerts a massive amount of influence worldwide, thanks to the Internet, television network, as well as various entertainment products as movies and video games. This creates a cultural phenomenon known as "Americanization" which also saw spread in the new world of Elysia.

The United states is a democractic Federal Republic in which "the majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law". It's considered to be the oldest surviving Federation on Earth as well as the oldest democracy.

## Economy

Its GDP in 2021 was 23.32 trillion USD. It is the fastest growing exporter in Elysia as their items are greatly sought after while the US imports magic stones as they're items that greatly interest the US in developing and understanding magic in a way they can.

## Military

Established 247 years ago during the American Revolutionary War, the United States Armed Forces played a pivotal role in the nation’s history. It’s one of the largest military forces and considered to be the most powerful military overall, both on Earth and Elysia.

The United States Armed Forces is divided into 6 branches: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force, all are administered by the US Department of Defense (DoD) headquartered in the Pentagon located in Arlington County, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The President serves as the military's commander-in-chief, and appoints its leaders, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

A major advantage of the American military is its high mobility. American forces can be rapidly deployed by the Air Force's large fleet of transport aircraft, the Navy's 11 active aircraft carriers (the most out of any navy on earth), and Marine expeditionary units at sea with the Navy. Air power plays a key role in the United States doctrine, the nation possessing the 1st and 2nd largest air forces in the world, the first being the United States Air Force and the second the United States Navy. The Air Force is capable of striking targets across the globe through its vast fleet of strategic bombers, maintains the air defense across the United States, and provides close air support to Army and Marine Corps ground forces. The military operates about 800 bases and facilities abroad, and maintains deployments greater than 100 active duty personnel in 25 foreign countries, further facilitating rapid deployment. However, much of that geographical advantage was lost during the transference, as the aforementioned military bases were left scattered on various islands around the US coastline. This prompted the United States Military to seek permission from various other nations to establish military bases in their territories for maintaining global security and permit force projection.

The Space Force operates the Global Positioning System (GPS, also widespread in civilian use worldwide), and the United States's Space Surveillance and Missile Warning networks.

As of July 30, 1639 (2021 in Earth years), the military budget of the United States has expanded to has high as 1 trillion US Dollars, which is roughly 4.2% of the nation's GDP. Because of the transference the United States very soon became uncertain on whether even its robust and well-developed military can effectively take on the threats posed by this new world, many of which should not even exist by standard Earth logic such as krakens, super carrier sized leviathans, wyverns, demons, and other biological beings that are mostly in fantasy. The United States conducted a multitude of ambitious programs in various areas to deal with these new challenges:

* The launching of numerous satellites as proposed by NASA and DoD, to compensate for the far larger surface area of Elysia compared to Earth.
* The construction of multiple military bases in various nations such as the Principality of Qua Toyne, the Topa Kingdom and the Kingdom of Altaras.
* The emergency reactivation of various retired battleships such as the USS *Missouri*, USS *Iowa* with the USS New Jersey and USS Wisconsin still in museums but could still be reactivated.
* The integration of magic into firearms, such as enchanted Dragon’s Breath shotgun shells.
* The integration of magic into infantry gear, such as vests with invigoration magic that can greatly extend the stamina of the soldier equipped with it upon activation.
* Assisting the Holy Mirishial Empire in developing the Comet-1, their first anti-ship guided missile although not on par with US's anti ship missiles.
* The development of the Tomahawk Block 6 by Raytheon, a new model of the Tomahawk cruise missile that integrates magic into its design, resulting in unparalleled speed and destructive capabilities.
* The development of a successor to the MGM-140 ATACMS by Lockheed-Martin, which incorporate magic into its design, and can be launched from the M270 MLRS and the M124 HIMARS.
* ·The research into magical stealth, a way to reduce magical signature on enchanted arsenals to prevent detection via MADAR, in order to apply magical enhancements to stealth fighters such as the F-35 and the F-22.
* The development of quantum computers and encryption, in order to gain more insight from captured Ravernal Revival Beacons and Mystar satellites.
* The development of anti-gravity technology using data of the Pal Chimera gained from cooperation with the Holy Mirishial Empire.
* The development and fielding of the UQ-2, an unmanned successor to the venerable U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane.

## Technology

On Earth, America is considered to be one of the most technologically developed nations, rivalled only by a few others such as Japan and Germany. Its capitalist economic system encourages entrepreneurship, risk-taking and innovation, thus allowing various startups to thrive and develop cutting-edge technologies. Many of America's most influential corporations, such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google/Alphabet are established in such a manner.

Over the years, the US has attracted numerous skilled immigrants from various countries on Earth, which helped contributing to establishing a diverse pool of talents. Many of these talented immigrants such as Albert Einstein, Werner von Braun, and Igor Sikorsky have made significant contributions to American technological development and innovation.

The US's technology is said to be similar to the Ancients (Also known as The Ancient Sorcerous Empire), Arcane (A different name for Ancients used by Cryseilies). The Ancient Sorcerous Empire (also known as the Ravernal Empire) is said to have fielded missiles on their ships evident when during the naval engagement between a group of US warships and the Lourian navy, the US launched its guided missiles to destroy the Lourian navy that mostly fielded wooden ships. In which the Qua Toyne observer onboard the USS Nimitz-class carrier Ronald Reagan stuttered out "A.S.E" describing that the Ravernals fielded similar weapons.

"the tales have described similar weapons. Magical guided light arrows, weapons that travel faster than sound, and so on"

With tales that depicted Ravernals fielding and launching a weapon that could only be described as an ICBM but with magic as the main ingredient. This has put the US to see the Ravernals as a Nuclear capable nation, but with little information on their weapons and such, the US can only speculate and deem the Ravernals as a peer adversary or even superior to the US military.

## Foreign Relationships

The United States has diplomatic relations with nearly all independent nations from Earth (with Iran, Bhutan and North Korea being the only exceptions), it’s capable of exerting massive amounts of influence over international politics and is a key player in maintaining international stability, being a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

After arriving at Elysia, The United States deployed several photographic and electronic reconnaissance aircraft to search for any civilized countries in the vicinity and establish diplomatic relations with them, in hopes to regain some of its lost trade routes and fasten the recovery of its economy, which relied heavily on imported goods.

Ironically, despite being literally the most technologically advanced and powerful country in Elysia, the United States at first is often being looked down upon by aggressive yet close minded nations in the new world since the country is now positioned outside the Civilized Regions. While Theodore Roosevelt’s policy of “speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far” is well remembered by the American people, some from the less developed nations will go on to dismiss the Americans as “soft and weak” upon learning about their initial friendly diplomatic approach, and while Americans made sure that their big stick is put on proud display, the stick ended up being so big that many Elysian natives often disregard it as exaggeration or deride it as outright propaganda. Not only does the prospect of a nation as massive as the USA appearing out of nowhere in treacherous, sea monster infested waters seem very implausible (as the last Transference happened millennia ago with the arrival of Mu, long before the emergence of the current superpowers), but the amount of wealth and power the American possesses is simply too hard to fathom for nations that are literally several centuries behind in terms of technology.

The nature of the United States often put it at odds with expansionist and warmongering nations like Louria, Parpaldia or Gra Valkas. These nations often resent the United States for the massive sphere of influence as well as posing a threat to their desire for domination. While the United States also resent the hegemonic and warmongering ways of the Empires, seeing them as tyrannical, barbaric, and inhumane. They also pose a severe threat to international stability which the US often tasked itself with protecting.

But on the other hand, American friendliness and proposition of peaceful trading and aid in developing local economy is favored by many weaker nations, which are often extorted and oppressed by stronger nations like Riem or Parpaldia thanks to Elysia's "might makes right" nature. The power projection capabilities of the USA provide them with an “umbrella” for defense, while the economic and scientific-technological benefits help them to improve their country in a multitude of aspects.

Many of the nation with high elven and demihuman populations such as Topa or Qua Toyne tends to view the Americans favorably as many are well versed in the legends of the Emissary of the Star Gods and are quick to notice similarities between Americans of the 21st century and their forefathers during WWII.

### Principality of Qua-Toyne

The Principality of Qua-Toyne is the first nation on Elysia that the US has made contact with since the Transference. Initial contact with Qua-Toyne has been somewhat awkward as on April 19th, 1639, a RC-130 recon plane unintentionally violated Qua-Toynian Air Space, which the Qua-Toynian wyvern knights attempted to intercept without any success. The US diplomats later arrived onboard the Seventh Fleet, they apologized for the airspace intrusion prior and invited the Qua-Toynian delegate to visit the US homeland, during which Qua-Toynian delegate Sir Yagou demonstrated the capabilities of magic by aiding an injured American worker, fostering a positive image of the Qua-Toynians for the Americans. After a diplomatic visit to the US mainland, both parties signed a treaty in which the US will begin to import climate dependent and exotic crops from Qua-Toyne and initiate cultural exchange, marking the start of an amiable relationship, the respect for the USA only grew further after they succeed in thwarting the Lourian invasion and bringing King Hark Louria XXXIV into custody. Since then, Qua-Toyne entered a period of economic bloom thanks to investment from various US corporations introducing new technology and infrastructure. Their cuisine also saw a drastic grew in popularity in the United States.

### Kingdom of Quila

The Kingdom of Quila is the second country that America contacted since the Transference, and while their relationship with America is rarely mentioned, the relationship is presumed to be friendly. Although they have little in terms of farmland, they have a huge wealth of ore deposits and more importantly, large crude oil deposits. And thanks to the abundance of farmland in the USA, Quila may also depend on it as a secondary source of imported food. Because some Quilaians have grown suspicious of rapid American expansion, the US Government has agreed to help install additional modern infrastructure.

### Kingdom of Louria

On June 10th, 1639, America attempted to establish relationships with the Kingdom of Louria, but Ambassador Henrick and the rest of his delegation were refused admittance, due to how the US has already established diplomatic relationships with both Qua-Toyne and Quila, demi-human countries which Louria deemed inferior. This will escalate into full on hostility when Louria launched a genocidal campaign against Qua-Toyne. The US, shocked and outraged by Louria’s blatant violation of human rights, and far from willing to lose their first and only trade partners, were quick to enact the defense treaty they signed with Qua-Toyne, resulting in a short and very one-sided war that ended with the capture of King Hark Louria XXXIV and the reformation of the Kingdom of Louria into the Republic of Louria , with the United States setting up educational infrastructure in the nation to improve literacy rates in order to organize elections in the future. Currently the US plans to outsource manufacturing industries to Louria, so the nation can serve as Elysia’s counterpart to China or Malaysia.

### Parpaldia Empire

The Parpaldia Empire first became aware of the presence of the United States via information gathered from their informant stationed onboard the Louria Eastern Subjugation Navy, Varhal; as well as some products acquired by travelling merchants. On July 30, 1639, the United States diplomat Samuel Anders and Miguel Rodriguez arrived at the Parpaldian capital city of Esthirant onboard the USN Third Fleet. While many civilians, as well as Director of the Third Foreign Affairs Kaios were left impressed and determined that the United States warranted at least the same amount of respect as nations from the 2nd and 1st Civilized Regions. However, many high-ranking officials such as Remille instead derided the American claims as nothing more than propaganda and initially even believed that they’re a fake nation made up by Mu to wage a proxy war upon Parpaldia.

But as time went on it become clear even to Remille that the USA is not what it appears to be, as evident by how effortlessly it managed to thwart the stages pirate attack on the Kingdom of Fenn, as well as their ever-expanding sphere of influence over the Uncivilized Regions. In a desperate attempt to maintain control over the barbaric nations, the Parpaldia Empire proceeded to invade the Kingdom of Altaras. This however proved to be a fatal mistake as while Altaras have yet to sign a defense treaty with the United States, they are one of the USA’s main exporters of magic gems. The United States proceeded to assist in the defense of Altaras on multiple fronts, from supplying firearms, to training King Taara XIV’s soldiers and royal guards in the art of guerilla warfare, as well as eventually staging a false flag operation that will provide a justifiable reason to declare war on Parpaldia.

The efforts will eventually accumulate in an Altarian victory, and Parpaldia finding itself at war with the United States. Despite how the US Marines Corps and Navy managed to drive the Parpaldian Army and Navy out of the Kingdom of Altaras without suffering a single loss, Emperor Ludius is still determined to go to war with America, confident that his forces will achieve victory no matter the cost, this irreversibly pitched his precious Empire into downfall. In response, the US Military defeated the Parpaldian ambush task force in Centris Island, and neutralized many key military and logistics infrastructures around Esthirant and Duro. Yet Emperor Ludius stubbornly proclaimed that his Empire will fight to the bitter end until they force a truce with United States. However, Kaios, along with many other elites of the Parpaldia Empire, initiated a coup d’etat in hopes to save their country from destruction. In the end, the Parpaldia Empire surrendered to the USA and was reformed into the Parpaldia Republic, with Kaios elected as their first president. In compensation for the abolishment of slavery, the United States initiated the Marshall Plan to provide financial aid to the various nobles in the form of corporate investments. Despite losing their vassal nations and suffering heavy losses in the war, a large number of Parpaldia’s military forces managed to remain unscathed, and the nation made a relatively smooth economic recovery.

### Holy Mirishial Empire

The Holy Mirishial Empire were first informed of the existence of the United States via rumors spread across the civilized regions regarding the Lourian war. Claims of supersonic aircraft and homing light arrows managed to strike fear into the hearts of the Mirishials, believing that this might be the dreaded return of the Ravernal Empire. The Empire proceeded to deploy spies to the 3rd Civilized Region and beyond in an attempt to validate these rumors. While the spies were able to confirm the validity of these claims, they also reported that the United States is relatively friendly, as most of the nations in the periphery were not invaded by them. And thus, the Mirishial News Network was sent to gauge the technological level of the United States.

After reviewing the commissioned segment featuring American ambassador Samuel Anders, the Mirishials were left more hopeful, with Emperor Mirishial believing that the United States can be a potent ally in the future conflict against the Ravernal Empire, thus the Foreign Affairs Ministry was ordered to establish diplomatic relationships with the Americans as soon as possible, the Mirishials opted to send Minister Phiam and their best Technical officer Rydorka on a diplomatic trip. During their meeting with President Lee, the Mirishials officially established diplomatic relationships with the United States and formally bestowed them the title of "superpower".

On April 19th, 1640, Minister Phiam celebrated the 1st anniversary of America's transference as well as the lifting of American travel ban with Secretary of State Gordon Heiden at Lazos Castle in the port city of Cartalpas.

### Other Nations

There are some nations that have become a protectorate under the US, but very little is known about them.
