Vampyre Conversion

Conversion to Vampyrism is a process that begins once the Vampyre Virus (most commonly the Stockholm Strain) enters the bloodstream of a human host. This can take place in a variety of ways, as the virus can be transmitted via saliva-blood contact, blood-blood contact, mucosa-blood contact, and has been observed to pass in seminal fluid during intercourse.

**Layman's definition**: Put simply, rather than infecting common host cells in a human being (such as muscle tissue or organ cells), the Vampyre Virus breaks down hemoglobin (red blood cells) and myoglobin and serum albumin (proteins) to replicate and spread while using the DNA from those blood cells to adapt itself to the host. The virus only binds to specified cells once a threshold of infection has been reached.

**Technical breakdown**: While most viruses have a *cytopathic* effect on its host cells - meaning they cause the death of the cell once the viron replicates or consumes enough energy from the host cell - the Vampyre Viral strains have a separate effect known as *hemolysis*, or the destruction of blood cells, as the initial conversion takes place. While most viruses that utilize reverse transcriptase (such as HIV) use RNA to create and assemble new DNA strands, the Vampyre Virus is different in using a unique form of hemolysis to break down nutrient components from blood cells (mainly erythrocytes) in order to provide nourishment, which results in the host DNA being released and the viral RNA's reverse transcriptase process to take place in the host. Due to the size of the virions and the addition of satellite particles, very little waste product is produced from virally-induced hemolysis. According to Alice's testing, the virus has a 97% efficiency rate with hemolytic metabolism, leaving only 3% of the original host cell as waste product to be excreted from the body. This is fortunate, as a lower efficiency would lead to kidney or liver failure, or other significant side effects.

The entire conversion process makes the virus nearly "invisible" to the immune system, as it adopts enough of the host's DNA through transcription to mask itself from the innate immunity of the body's white blood cells.This hemolysis and subsequent shortage of blood cells within the body is the reason that there is typically an intense "first craving" upon conversion, which has historically led to attacks and the consumption of the blood of anyone nearby. This biological drive would mirror life-threatening hunger or thirst, and would drive even the most composed fledgling Vampyres into a state of frenzy to satisfy the nutritional demands of the virus.
The Legends of Sorrow

*The Legends of Sorrow* is a novel not yet confirmed or planned within the 2023 timeline for the *Legacy of Sorrow* launch and release of material. The book, colloquially referred to simply as *"Legends"* would be a collection of material that failed to make the cut into the original series of novels, or of events that happened outside the timeframe of any of the four Volumes. *Legends* was teased during the rebranding from the *Trilogy Edition* to the *Legacy Edition* of the series, but the demand for a fourth book and a highly-expanded Volume were prioritized for production. With the need for marketing, merchandising, and peripheral needs to expand the *Sorrowverse* into a larger franchise, the release of *Legends* was postponed until a planned 2025 release.

## Structure

The format of *Legends* is suspected to be a story-based compendium to the original saga, made up of a series of short stories ranging from chapter-length to novella-length, and working to build on the *Sorrowverse* to canonize events into the scope of published works such as those mentioned in the Official Wiki, suggested in the story without elaboration, or new information and stories. The author also discussed in an unpublished podcast episode that the style for each story within *Legends* will vary wildly, ranging from humorous interview-style entries and character psych profiles to morbid tales of the first Vampyre infection.
Characters & Factions

The Sorrowverse contains a multitude of individuals and agencies of good, neutral, and evil status. Per the series lore, good-aligned characters are those siding against Schillinger's goals & ideologies, while evil characters are conspiring alongside him; neutral characters may tend toward one side or another, or both, but may not have a seated loyalty to either party. Most organizations will be included.

The lists below may not be exhaustive, but strive to include most relevant and re-occurring characters within the series as comprehensively as possible. **Please be aware that spoilers may be present at first glance**, although we mark them as best we can whenever possible. Due to the nature of certain characters, spoiler information may be present on the sidebar infoblocks without an indication or warning. Dive in at your own risk!

Counsel

## Origin

Despite the seemingly-formal nature of Kara's Counsel, there is no defined origin for the group of people in Kara's inner circle. As she was regarded early in her life as the leader of the group, Sonya and Val trusted her judgment when it came to converting human to Vampyres. Some of these, including Alice and Krystal, proved to possess a series of qualities that Kara silently deemed demonstrative of what her city - Aerael - should represent: goodness, fairness, equality, and passion. As Alice and Krystal grew older, they became the first to recognize the continuing anonymity of their group's meetings, and Alice referred to the group as Kara's Counsel sometime in the mid-1800's at the height of Aerael's initial construction.

It is generally accepted that after the events of *Despair*, the Counsel itself disbanded, as each surviving Vampyre member of the group dedicated their lives to rebuilding the destruction wrought by Schillinger and Legacy.

Note: While the term *"council"* is normally used to describe the group of individuals that provides guidance, authority, and governance, the term *"counsel"* was used as a way to acknowledge Kara's place as the sole seat of power and their role as advisors in her decisions.

## Members

The exhaustive list of all members, both past and present, alive and dead, to be formally recognized as members of Kara's Counsel at any one point or another are as follows:

* Valterius Valencia
* Sonya Van de Graaf
* Dr. Allison Nicole Vicente (Valencia)
* Catherine (Krystal) Elizabeth Vicente
* Jalix Nicholas Kane
* Amelia Lynn Kane
* Anthony (Tony) Blake Williams
* Eric Kenneth Williams

Project Starlight

Project Starlight was run by Dr. Tamara Goodson, Dr. Brynn Weiss, Dr. Allison Valencia, and (Dr.) Amelia Lynn Kane in order to mutate the base Vampyre Virus (the Stockholm strain) to act as a biological immunization against infection from other strains. In essence, this would allow humans to have an immunity against any and all other strains of the Vampyre Virus. More info needed.
West Indies Federation

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The West Indies Federation is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in the Caribbean and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. The surrender of the Entente meant that the royal possession of the West Indies was now under the occupation of the CAR. Along with the other former dominions, the West Indies was reestablished with the exception of any ties to the Windsor monarchy. The new government was elected through a national election observed and administrated by the American military. Clifford Campbell had won a large majority in the election as a member of the West Indies Labour Party. Although the American government was deeply wary due to the West Indie's leftist leaning, no attempt was made to replace the new administration. Instead, the West Indies and U.S. governments made a mutual agreement of friendship. While independence movements desire the dissolution of the federation, the ruling Labour party keeps the established stability in check. The economy of the West Indies, while small, is experiencing needed stability. The West Indies continues to look towards the future with optimism despite its many problems and shortcomings.

The Resistance

The Resistance has only a brief history as told by Kara and Sonya after the Battle at Washington, D.C. The Resistance was a group of Tortured who were submissive to Legacy, but not fully indoctrinated. While they were addicted to Factor Five and were psychologically broken, fragmented, and tormented, they abandoned Legacy before the battle and endeavored to stage a coup once the attrition of the fight dwindled the numbers of both sides. They were unsuccessful, as Kara and Sonya toppled the massive building in which they were preparing. If any survived, they had little support and were vastly outnumbered by the Unbroken. More info needed.
Expanded Universe

Expanded Universe (EU) content is that which is canonical to the *Sorrowverse* (written by the author and/or deduced by readers and confirmed by the author in writing to be true), but not stated expressly in any of the published works within the core *Legacy of Sorrow* 4-volume series. An example of this would be the majority of the epilogues section of the *Legacy of Sorrow* wiki (and much of the Wiki itself), which details events past the end of *Despair*, but are not written in any of the four *Legacy of Sorrow* volumes. Another example of Expanded Universe content would be the author-proposed (unconfirmed) *Legends of Sorrow* entry, or any material that has yet to be announced, such as graphic novels, comics, short stories, compendiums, or unpublished material.

EU content would **not** include any new series taking place in the *Sorrowverse*, unique spinoffs, or creative interpretations (fanfics, fan art, etc). These would either be non-canonical or part of the core *Sorrowverse* and its timeline as a continuation, dependent on licensing and authorship.

Any official material within the Expanded Universe would likely have the general naming convention " [Title]: A Legacy of Sorrow [media] ".

Homem de Gelo e os Novos Mutantes

## Sinopse para "Homem de Gelo e os Novos Mutantes"

Bobby Drake tem sido o Homem de Gelo há vinte anos. Nesses anos, ele viu guerras e festas, fez amigos e perdeu outros, e descobriu, já adulto, que é gay. Quem ouve Bobby falar sobre sua vida não imagina que ele possa estar sentindo falta de alguma coisa, mas é exatamente em sua crise dos trinta anos que ele começa a se perguntar o que mais pode haver para descobrir. Pensando nisso, Kitty Pryde resolve colocar Bobby a cargo de uma nova equipe de Novos Mutantes. Com ataques dos Carrascos e dos Purificadores acontecendo com frequência, a usual animosidade em relação aos mutantes e uma movimentação suspeita de antigos integrantes da Irmandade, Bobby sabe que pode ter muito mais do que apenas o comando de um novo time em suas mãos.

## História de "Homem de Gelo e os Novos Mutantes"

Em um rompante de ataques descontrolados, Purificadores começam a mover grupos de milícia para exterminar grupos mutantes em vários lugares do mundo.

Republic of Korea

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of Korea is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic**, located in east Asia and a member of the **Atlanta Accords**. The invasion and unconditional surrender of the **Empire of Japan** meant that the presence of Japanese subjugation was gone and in its place, American troops established a hold over the nation. the time for self-determination was deemed by the US military and in 1946, elections were underway to elect a civilian government. American bases continued to be stationed in order to keep China from provoking war. Especially after 1954, the amount of troops stationed increased as the war with the **German Empire** concluded and a new "cold war" persuaded the American government to secure borders with the **Riga Pact**. By 1955, the country is slowly adopting American standards and the economy is steadily growing. A national army helps American troops garrison the Sino-Korean border. Tensions are high and conflict along the border will surely spill out someday. Until then, the nation can only prepare incrementally. To make this worse, Syndicalist and Socialist revolutionaries spread ideas about their ideology. National manhunts of these extremists are launched but either yield in innocent people being executed or armed guerilla conflict. In the national elections, the ruling party, the Democratic Party, is slowly losing support from the lower class base which are turning toward the Workers' Party. This is very concerning especially to the American forces stationed. The military is ready to stage a coup if the situation does not stay in hand. The conservative government's situation is sticky. Perhaps renewed support from the people could be garnered. If not, the future of the nation will foresee their dissolution from power.
Republic of the Philippines

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of the Philippines, more specifically the Third Republic of the Philippines, is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in Southeast Asia and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. When Japan unconditionally surrendered following America's invasion of the homeland, the Co-Prosperity Sphere was subsequently under grabs. Without resistance, the Philippines had been placed under U.S. supervision. American garrisons landed in Manilla, replacing the pro-Japanese cabinet with pro-Americans. Unlike in other satellite states of the CAR, the Philippines was allowed to have leftist and even pro-Syndicalist parties participate in elections. A degree of freedom and autonomy from the clasp of America has allowed it to develop a strong native industry. The nation is advancing rapidly socially, economically, and politically as American aide continues to develop even the nation's poorest areas. To many, the nation is experiencing the most beneficial parts of being aligned to America. Political autonomy has indeed increased popularity of pro-Syndicalist parties. Unfortunately, these parties have become hostile or even violent, some waging a guerilla war against the government in rural areas. The American military garrison still operates in the nation, stationing itself in Manilla. The ruling government of the Philippines is headed by the Nacionalista Party. It has taken a pro-American stance compared to other major parties which are advocating to distance themselves diplomatically.

Republic of Cuba

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of Cuba is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in the Caribbean and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. In 1946, Havana was stormed and captured by American forces. The cause of the invasion was Cuba's rejection for the return of Guantanamo Bay. Shortly after Cuba's unconditional surrender, **Fulgencio Batista** was reinstated as the head of state of the nation. Pro-Syndicalists and far-leftists had been forced underground due to the ongoing persecution which led to the deaths of thousands. Cuba is heavily reliant on the backing of American companies and the government to continue prospering industries. Despite the rampant corruption and authoritarian nature of Cuba's leadership, wages are continuing to grow. The military situation has grown severe enough for American involvement to start to creep in. Guerilla fighters still plan the toppling and overthrow of the government to the dismay of US intelligence. President Batista has visited **Eugene Talmadge** in the white house several times leading to a close personal relationship between the two. American big business owns large parts of Cuban industries such as sugar lands, cattle ranches, mines, mineral concessions, utilities, and nearly the entire oil industry. The American-controlled industries, however, had led to substantial modernization and the nation's GDP per capita has even surpassed that of the **Third** **Federal Republic of Mexico**.
Republic of Guyana

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of Guyana is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in South America and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. In 1943, the **West Indies Federation** ceded Guyana to American occupation. Shorty after, Guyana was declared as an independent state with the backing of the American government. The Dutch colonial possession of Suriname was notably not under Guyana during this time but by the end of the war with the Reichspakt, the territory was incorporated. Politically, the nation is ruled by the People's Progressive Party. Two candidates have stayed at odds with one another. Forbes Burnham, the current president, is also head of the "conservative" faction of the People's Progressive Party. His opponent and presidential challenger, Cheddi Jagan, is the head of the Jaganite, or socialist, faction of the People's Progressive Party. President Burnham is heavily backed over his opponent in D.C. due to Jagan being labeled as a syndicalist sympathizer. Jaganite guerillas operate all throughout the nation, seeking to overthrow the more American-friendly administration. The largest support for Jagan comes from Suriname where a large percentage of the population share the same Indian ancestry. Things are getting much more tense as these fighters are gaining ground especially near the capital. An eventual overthrow is feared by American intelligence. Despite these fighters, Burnham is seen as the father of the nation and most of the Guyanese populace approve of the president in polls.
Republic of Iceland

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of Iceland is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in the North Atlantic Ocean and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. After the initial announcement of surrender of Entente forces, American troops began military occupation of Iceland. This occupation was deemed as a mandate and continued for two years, until in 1945, a new government was organized. The military occupation withdrew although a small military presence in the country persisted to monitor and plan future operations in Europe. Permanent naval and military bases had been set up in preparation of the war with the **German Empire**. As war commenced, bombers, jets, ships, equipment, and fresh troops became common occurrence in Iceland, transporting from America to the war in Europe. When the war came to end in 1954, U.S. Defense Forces Iceland was greatly diminished in scale. There have been some calls among the Icelandic government and proponents in America to annex Iceland as a state. For the most part, however, Iceland and Icelanders enjoy their new found statehood.
Republic of New Zealand

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of New Zealand is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** in the western Pacific and a member of the **Atlanta Accords**. After peace was established in 1943, the dissolution of the Australasian Dominion meant independence for New Zealand. Additionally, after the trial of the royal family, New Zealand allowed them to be exiled in their territory under the condition that the Windsors were not to interfere in governance in any way. Initially, New Zealand was led under a US-backed military junta but free elections were soon declared. Subsequently, the National Party of New Zealand had won. Due to the Labour Party's uneasy lean toward socialist policies, they were banned in the following election. While national outcry began to pour into the streets, martial law was declared and many Labour protestors were arrested. As a consequence, the leftist coalition, Democratic Labour League of New Zealand, was formed. The National Party's platform is far more moderate than most other ruling parties within the **Atlanta Accords**. Its goals are to support economic liberalism, limited welfare state, and anti-syndicalism. In recent elections, the Democratic Labour League has caught up to the National Party and the next national election remains a hotly contested issue. This raises fears amongst New Zealander conservatives believing that this is just a start in a domino effect which will cause the country to be overtaken by progressivism, or even worse: Syndicalism. The economic situation is content with an influx of development coming from American contractors for a myriad of booming industries. Pro-monarchist sympathies are also spreading among the National Party's base. **Elizabeth II**, the Queen-in-exile, is often noted to be very popular in the press. The threat of Labour has persuaded a large following to push for the ban to extend to the Democratic Labour League. Others in the party believe it could spark violence. Only time will tell if New Zealand steady's the course.
German Empire

## German Empire (1871-1954)

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The German Kaiserreich (de jure) was the world's foremost superpower, before the US-led invasion, and leading nation of the **Reichspakt**. In 1871, the German Empire was founded as an imperial entity led by the Kingdom of Prussia and the Prussian monarch. During France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the empire was proclaimed in the Palace of Versailles by Wilhelm I, king of Prussia and Emperor of the North German Confederation. Although Austria did not join the new empire, a majority of German states were absorbed. The German Empire is a token constitutional monarchy with such power given to the monarch while retaining a parliamentary system. The German Empire featured political freedom and gave way for many political parties although far-right and far-left parties were banned later on, close to its downfall. The leading party throughout most of the state's existence was the German Conservative Party (DkP). In 1954, the German Empire was officially dissolved upon **America**'s invasion and subsequent victory. In it's place, the **German Confederation** was created.
Republic of Canada

## Canadian Republic

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Canadian Republic, officially the Canadian Federal Republic, is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** in North America and a member of the **Atlanta Accords**. After the American invasion of the **Dominion of Canada (Kingdom)** in 1943, Entente forces formally surrendered and the royal family was tried and exiled. In wake of the surrender, imperial possessions such as **Australia** and **New Zealand** became satellite states to America. Canada was reestablished, this time without the monarchy, and General Georges Vanier was appointed as the Head of State. Canada has became increasingly agrarian and west-oriented as Toronto and Ottawa have been formally annexed by the CAR. The **Republic of Quebec** also exists as a separate entity. Former royalist generals take on the highest positions of the Canadian government, now loyal to America. The future of Canada is uncertain. Anti-American sentiment has sprung up in recent years despite economic development and financial help from American backers. American companies both small and large have started to operate in Canada. This has contributed to the cultural influence which has been taking over the country. The old practices and memories of a Canada under British rule has begun to fade, although some intend to fight to bring back the dominion.
Central American Republic

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Central American Republic, also referred to as the United Provinces of Central America, is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in Central America and a member of the **Atlanta Accords**. With the surrender of pro-syndicalist Mexico in 1944, Central America fell under the influence of America. In the following months, US troops moved in with little resistance. While many Central American governments complied, some came down with resistance. The Central American states were reorganized into provinces of a pro-American and unified Central America. Notably, Costa Rica was the only Central American state to not be invaded. This was due to the fact that it had been guaranteed by the **German Empire**. By 1954, Costa Rica had been fully occupied by joint US-Central American forces as the war against the **Reichspakt** meant Costa Rica's involvement would not have gone unnoticed. With the unification of a pro-American Central America came an opportunity for American companies to move in. The American Fruit Company made a resurgence in the region. Due to this, many people work for little wage in intensive labor. This is due to change as even the conservatives have agreed to introduce new and more worker-friendly labor laws. The economy is steadily growing as is its population. There are minor problems that still need to be worked out but for the most part, cooperation between the various provinces have been superb.
Republic of Quebec

Coat of Arms

The Republic of Quebec is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** in North America and a member of the **Atlanta Accords**. After the surrender of the Entente to American forces, Quebec was given its independence and all ties to the former monarchy or Canada were cut off. Despite territories along the Lawrence River being incorporated by the CAR, many Quebecers is still in deep gratitude for the so-called liberation of their homeland. French and American business interest have greatly expanded in the region. Anglicization has slowly reversed as American and native Quebecois culture becomes dominant. Pockets of resistance to this form although the new generation have grown accustomed to these newly dominant cultures. Politics of Quebec is split between the left and right-wing nationalists. The ruling party, Union Nationale, runs on the platform foremostly for sustained Quebecois sovereignty, then conservative values, anti-Syndicalism, and finally modernization.
Eurasian Empire

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Eurasian Empire (de jure), or the Russian Empire (de facto), is the world's second most powerful superpower behind the **Constitutional American Republic** and leading nation of the **Riga Pact**. The empire was historically founded on 1721 upon Peter I being granted the title of Emperor of All Russians or more commonly known as Tsar. However, in 1917, the monarchy was abolished in favor of a republic led by **Alexander Kerensky**. The Russian monarchy was restored in 1949 after the far-right republican government, the solidarists, became increasingly unpopular and the **Eurasianist Unity Party** won the national election. As part of their campaign, the monarchy was restored and **Roman Petrovich** was chosen as the new monarch, soon coronated as **Tsar Petrovich I**. The government is a constitutional monarchy and while keeping many of the same tenets of the old Russian Empire, the Tsar's power and authority is much more limited in scale. The government is characterized as being socially conservative and supportive of a slightly authoritarian form of democracy. The state duma is diverse however, with multiple political parties taking part but many historically destabilizing political movements have been banned outlined in amendments to the new tsarist constitution. The Eurasian Empire is still much more liberal to free press restrictions and opposition compared to the CAR.

Proposed Post-Occupational Coat of Arms

The State of Japan, also in its current form referred to as the International Occupation of Japan, is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic**, located in east Asia, and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. The **Empire of Japan**'s unconditional surrender in 1945 was followed by the restructuring of order. America spent large quantities of men and resources to invade the Japanese mainland. Consequently, Japan was diminished in size to compensate. Among the compensation, former imperial island possessions had been turned into American territories, including Sakhalin. The emperor was put on trial as was his wartime government, and while the royal family survived, it did not hold any executive power. Japan's government become a mere puppet, and it was reorganized so that American generals held top positions in order to keep the populous in check. Permanent military influence persists in the nation as occupational troops are solidly stationed in all major cities. American culture has made its way into the country because of the occupational presence. While the youth of Japan grow up listen to American music, American troops are still stationed in bases throughout the nation. In 1951, however, American-Japanese relations were normalized by the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco. In 1955, America has decided to turn a new leaf, but the new generation has grown comfortable to its influence. On the other flip of the coin, older generations of Japan have a fondness for the time when their Emperor ruled over them and this has led many to advocate for the Showa's return. Elections slowly return to Japan's shores, albeit, very limited in choice. Perhaps, someday, Japan will dictate a path away from American occupation, but in the meantime, the country still has to deal with the scars of the invasion of their homeland, in which, millions died for the Showa. Despite American products making its way to the Japanese people through the military presence, the average person lives in poor conditions.
Humans

Humans in the context of the *Sorrowverse* are any individual not infected with ANY strain of the Vampyre Virus. This means that, by the ending of Despair, it is assumed that humans no longer exist and would be considered VMPs (Virally-Modified Persons) despite the fact that the virus in their systems is largely inactive. More info is needed.
Republic of Vietnam

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The Republic of Vietnam is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in Southeast Asia and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. In accordance with the surrender of the Japan in 1945, all Co-Prosperity Sphere member states were subsequently under American occupation including Vietnam. Shortly after this, the Emperor of the nation was deposed by a pro-American republican government. The nation became the State of Vietnam under Ngo Dinh Diem. A little while after, the nation's name was changed to the Republic of Vietnam. The nation is quickly modernizing although Syndicalists and anti-Diem forces have consolidated in the north. Due to this, the capital was moved further south from the traditional city of Hue to Saigon. Popular syndicalist leaders, such as Ho Chi Minh, were forced underground long ago but their influence have established roots all throughout the working class population. The Vietnamese government reports that the situation is stabilizing to the pleasure of Washington, who continues to send military and financial support to the state in preparation for a frontline with the **Republic of China**.
Third Federal Republic of Mexico

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The United Mexican States, officially the Third Federal Republic of Mexico, is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** located in North America and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. In 1944, the CAR launched a joint ground-air invasion of Mexico. Lasting less than two months, unconditional surrender was achieved. The Syndicalist-friendly government was thus ousted and in its place came a provisional military junta. Later in that same year, national elections occurred in which the American-backed National Action Party won. Speculation that the election was rigged or fraudulent were widespread as support for the Socialist candidates greatly outweighed that of the National Action Party. Despite this, American development programs have created many economic opportunities for the people and Mexican big business has begun to spur too. The National Action Party has won every election since, with little cries of fraud, mostly popping up from leftist remnants. The party advocates for closer ties to America, fiscal and social conservatism, privatization, as well as free trade. The country is much more reliant on Mexico City as its richer northern provinces have been ceded to the US. In return, Mexico's infrastructure and economy has been greatly restructured both by the American government and corporations. The risk of overreliance on America is increasingly severe as time passes by. At the same token, a new generation of Mexicans are born in a time where Mexico finally has chance to prosper. Anti-American sentiment remains a problem and a question to ask is whether Mexicans will continue to accept American hegemony?
United States of Liberia

National Flag

Coat of Arms

The United States of Liberia (de jure), also officially referred to as "The Liberian Settlement of West Africa", is a satellite state of the **Constitutional American Republic** and member of the **Atlanta Accords**. Although founded officially in 1822, Liberia was established in its current form and purpose in 1947 when the CAR secured its grip over the nation after planning to repurpose the country for the deportation of African-Americans in states. The nation was originally under the supervision of business mogul, **Harvey Firestone Jr.** but after resignation in 1951, President **Eugene Talmadge** in America had allowed the creation of a colored government. **Leonard Firestone**, **Harvey Firestone Jr.**'s brother, was appointed as vice-president and ambassador to the United States whilst **Edwin Barclay** was elected president. The purpose for the renewal of Liberia in Talmadge's eyes was to separate colored society from America and safely incorporate colored populations to Africa. While not entirely sound, the so-called "**Liberia Plan**" has been relatively successful although permanent American presence is required to quell native populations from resisting. American culture has permeated throughout the people and while atrocities are widely committed, the quality of life has significantly increased thanks to funding from the White House in order to sustain the project as well as create decent living conditions. Just as the CAR, Liberia is propped up as a multi-party representative democracy even though it is clear that Liberia suppresses various groups including those who advocate for independence. The influence of Washington is evident throughout the entire government as most positions have been hand-selected by **President Talmadge**.
