American Republic

The **American Republic**, more commonly known as the **Remnants**, is the "official" successor state of the United States of America. However, it continues to be unrecognized by many nations. When Ronald Reagan resigned and essentially dissolved the US, Vice President Bush seized control in Washington and ordered all loyal patriots to flee south, proceeding to shut off D.C from the rest of the world, rendering it a copy of West Berlin. Now with the American Republic finally stable, congressional elections approach, which will decide the future of the former United States.

## History

*"The American Republic, or as it is more commonly known around the world, the Remnants, is officially the successor state of the United States. When Reagan resigned and essentially dissolved the US, Vice President Bush seized control in Washington and ordered all loyal patriots to flee South, proceeding to shut off D.C from the rest of the world, rendering it a copy of West Berlin. Now with the American Republic finally stable, Congressional elections approach, which will decide the future of the former United States... forever."*

### Early years

The nation was founded after President Ronald Reagan dissolved the United States and Vice President George H. W. Bush fled south, while ordering all still loyal to the old union to follow. Along with these patriots, the Republican Party, proclaimed the American Republic. National elections were put on hold until 1994 and and the term of presidency has been extended to eight years. However at this point the Republic was one party state under the Republican Party due to the cult of personality Bush had gained. In 2002, the Republican Party had once again cemented it's place in the 2002 elections with the new president, Donald Rumsfeld.

### Modern day

The American Republic faces tough economic times. With the mass exodus of executives to countries like Canada and the UK, their economy is in shambles. Luckily, the political situation is considered stable.

With the 2010 elections coming up, it meant that for the first time there would have been a real competition. There were many political personalities who wished to participate as candidates: Rumsfeld, who wanted to maintain the status-quo, and Jeb Bush, son of the great leader, who both fought in a neck-to-neck primary election campaign for the Republican Party nominee; Robert Bentley of the Independence Union, who vowed to restore freedom and broker peaceful relations worldwide; on the other hand, David Duke, who stood ready to claim his share in the game for power as leader of a far-right party based on the belief that the former US land should have been swiftly and, if needed, forcefully reclaimed by the reactionary American Republic. The future of not only the Republic, but the entire North American continent would have been decided by the results of this consultation.

## Politics

   While the Republicans are by far the largest political party in the Republic, they aren't the only one. The Independence Union , under Robert Bentley , is the most prominent oposition party , representing a more moderate version of conservativism. The remnants of the Old Democratic party under Joeseph Biden, are also a political entity, even tho they're only a shadow of their former self.

### Political Parties

* Republican Party (American Nationalism) is the dominant party in the American Republic since the founding of the nation.
* Independence Union (American Conservatism) is the second largest political party in the country led by Robert Bentley which advocates for a less nationalistic government.
* National Renewal Party (Fascism) is a far-right political party with connections with the Ku Klux Klan and advocates for white supremacy. It is currently led by David Duke.
* The Democratic Party (Liberalism) is a remnant of the defunct Democratic Party of the United States. They are irrelevant, but could prove important should something happen to the Republican Majority.

### National Spirit

Our government is a sucessor of the former United States, and as such, claims rightful soverignty over some or all American territory. Though a noble goal in our eyes, our stance prevent us from forming meaningful diplomatic relations, as no country are willing to risk becoming closely involved in a major conflict on American soil.
