New England

Flag of New England

The **Dominion of New England** is a small but very rich republic on the North American Continent. It is a Parliamentary Representative Democracy with a strong rule underneath the Democratic party. New England stayed out of the Second American Civil War and thus did not expirence the catastrophic destruction and devastation the rest of the nation had to witness. This has made New England one of the most common places for refugees fleeing the war. This has allowed it to become richer than most other nations across the globe. New England was proclaimed in 1937 after the outbreak of the Second American Civil war after entente forces moved into the region upon the requests of the locals. As a member of the Entente New England did send soldiers into the fray of the Second Weltkrieg. supporting Canada during the homecoming. However now that the war is over the prosperity of New England will be called into question as the economy switches from war time industry to that of civilian economics.

## History

New Englands history begins with the fires of the Second American Civil War. With the nation falling into chaos the people of New England got cold feet and wished to stay out of the war. But with no other factions to turn to they went to the Entente asking for the forces of Canada and France to enter into the region and secure it from the aggression of the Syndicalists. New England was rapidly occupied and after around a month of negotiations within the parliament up in Ottowa, it was decided to form a new Dominion. This Dominion was New England witch was to become a member of the Entente and was were refugees fleeing persecution and violence to the south fled to instead of Canada. This explosively increased New Englands population from around 7.5 million by 1936 to nearly 10 million by the end of the decade. New England would use this massive increase to industrialize like their was no tomorrow quickly being put in a good position to make money off of the Second Weltkreig by selling weapons to the Reichspakt. However to the south lay the Syndicalist government which was aligned to the Third Internationale. To the authorities within the Entente having such a regime to the south of Canada was to be a death blow to their war effort if they won the Civil War. Thus the Entente made its entrance into the Weltkrieg by declaring war on the Syndicalist government and with forces coming in from four sides the Chicago government was destroyed. In the process New England gained NYC, New Jersey, and Eastern Pennsylvania. After this New England would continue to support the Entente by being its Industrial core along with Canada. At the end of the Weltkreig in 1948 New England sent its elite troops to the Homecoming along with those of Canada where New England troops would make quite a name for themselves.

## Current Situation

New England has profited greatly from the war gaining a good sized chunk of land and being an industrial powerhouse for the rest of the Entente. However the situation is not all peachy with the refugee crisis being very bad here with over 1/3rd of the entire population having immigrated from America, only the Great Lakes Government has a worse situation in this regard. New England is also about to go through its first election now that marshal law is no longer being implemented and elections not blocked. New Englands future is not certain in the rising tension of the new Kalterkrieg. And there are signs of another storm brewing to the south.

## Military

New England's military is small but elite. Known for their ability to fight in the rough terrain of the Appalachian mountains, the men of the Dominion of New England are well capable of punching above their weight in the many wars soon to follow the Second Weltkrieg.

### Army

New England's army is one of the most elite forces in the Entente and while small will give anybody a challenge if they wanted to invade New England. Couple this with the rest of the Entente the Dominion of New England may be one of the most unassailable places on earth, aside from Switzerland of course.

### Navy

New England's Navy is small and most of it is comprised of old ships from the United States of America. However given the proximity of the Dominion of Canada to the north wether or not New England needs a navy is another matter entirely.

### Air Force

The Air force of New England is also quite small but is not in quite the condition of their Southern Neighbors. Like its military this force is small but dealdy and is up to date with the rest of the Entente and specifically the Pacific States of America.
