The leader of the **Atlanta Accords** and the largest superpower in the globe is the Constitutional American Republic, generally known as the United States of America. Its beginnings may be traced back to the nation's declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. Due to the Second American Civil War, the country saw a rebirth a century and a half later. America's shape is directly attributable to the southern or "Constitutionalist" side's civil war triumph. Its government fits the definition of a paternalistic, de-facto, one-party republic. Its doctrines are founded on Jacksonian democratic ideas that uphold states' rights and agrarianism, two ideologies that are profoundly ingrained in the **All-Democratic Party**, the current ruling party. Despite detractors pointing out the obvious repression of opposition, the country defends itself as a logical continuation of the pre-Civil War United States and a champion of representative democracy.

## Second American Civil War

The CAR entered the civil war as the smallest and underestimated faction. Former president Alfalfa Bill had resigned and been replaced by former Georgia governor **Eugene Talmadge**. By brilliantly defending Constitutionalist soldiers along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, Talmadge successfully protected the deep south. The Battle for Chicago was shortly launched by Constitutionalist troops as counterattacking operations began in the spring of 1942. The International Workers of the World (IWW) remnants went underground shortly after the Syndicalist forces submitted. By the following year, **Huey Long** Loyalist and Federalist resistance in Washington, D.C., and New Orleans had crumbled. By 1943, the self-declared "legitimate" Pacific States of America was on the verge of annihilation and had unconditionally submitted as soon as Constitutionalist forces arrived in Sacramento. The war was officially concluded with this surrender, and the new administration thereafter redirected the war effort onto maintaining the dictatorship.

A Constitutionalist demonstration was held in Madison Square Garden in 1944, as seen in the image above. When word of the surrender of the Pacific forces reached the east coast, a gathering was called for New York. Talmadge's prominence and control over his supporters were solidified by this gathering. Anyone who openly criticized Talmadge or participated in protests was now susceptible to governmental retaliation across the country. The military police started to appear often, which made things worse for the opposition. Everyone was to be watched, including every structure and street. Resistance groups have banded together as clandestine organizations to survive for this reason.

## The aftermath of the Civil War and Expansion

The country has emerged from its sleep. The state fiercely expanded after the country's rebirth, overthrowing Japanese control in the Pacific and installing puppet regimes in North America. Invading the Union of Britain in 1952, the CAR turned its attention to Europe. The Republic of Britain was established in its stead. Soon after, preparations for the invasion of the **German Empire** and eventual takeover of foreign lands started. President Eugene Talmadge gave the go-ahead for the beginning of the end of German Imperialism after setting everything in motion. An additional front was formed in Normandy to put pressure on German supplies, and Hamburg served as a beachhead for American forces to reach the German mainland. To recapture eastern lands it had lost during the Great War, the **Eurasian Empire** looked for an opening and declared war against the **German Empire**. By 1954, **Kaiser Wilhelm III** had committed suicide and the **German Empire** had fully submitted. The European war was over. After the Great Depression and the Berlin Stock Market Crash decades earlier, it allowed GIs to come home and brought about an unimaginable amount of affluence. To prevent fresh hostilities, the war-torn regions of the **German Confederation** are intended to become entirely agricultural. While the Liberia plan is still in place, there are only a few scattered, disorganized pockets of resistance left.

America is still stable in 1955, yet lurking threats are present. As the **Eurasian Empire** solidifies its position as a nuclear-capable state, a so-called "Cold War" has broken out, and many Americans across the nation are accused of having imperialist or communist tendencies. To prevent imperial influence from encroaching on American soil, President Talmadge created a cultural philosophy. According to the Talmadge Doctrine, the world is divided into two camps: one that is "imperialistic," led by Russia, and the other that is "democratic," led by America. "The only conflict that is imaginable in American society is the conflict between good and excellent," is a dictum associated with the concept. Despite Eurasia having a minor demographic advantage over America, the CAR has a significant technical edge over it in both space and nuclear weapons. The US is losing ground as experts from Germany quickly emigrated to Russia, which is far more open. Despite having a high popularity rating (which may be faked), President Talmadge is ill. Leftist groups and MacArthur Loyalists are still lurking in the background, ready to strike when the moment is perfect. Vice President **Melvin Thompson**, who has been entrusted with managing the majority of the nation's business, appears to be more open to change and compromise since he understands that doing so will help the party develop. The son of President **Eugene Talmadge** and newly appointed governor of Georgia, **Herman Talmadge**, has become a household name by striving to uphold his father's legacy. He is frequently seen as a steadfast conservative and defender of Jacksonian ideals. **Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.** is now well-known across the country. Aviator and war hero, he was swiftly chosen to serve in the House of Representatives in 1946. Kennedy left his position in 1950 to compete in the Senate. He was chosen to represent Massachusetts in the Senate. He has gained popularity as a result of his standing and has access to a great deal of wealth and influence as a Kennedy family member. He represents a bloc of northern Democrats that, if they were to gain control, might shift the party away from its southern hegemony. There is talk of Kennedy perhaps running for the nation's top office, the presidency, in the future.

## American Culture

As American culture spreads to the most remote and unfriendly regions of the world, it is in the midst of a golden era. American goods and music are widely favored, even in nations that are seen as competitors, such as the **Eurasian Empire** and the **Republic of China**. US businesses are influencing satellite nations in East Asia, Europe, and Africa through the export of these items. Since the Second American Civil War's Constitutionalist triumph, government propaganda has also been pervasive. The American people are enthralled by anti-Imperialist and anti-Syndicalist sentiment. This misinformation and Syndicalist worries have only been spread by the McCarthy hearings. During this time, American society is characterized by homogeneity. The American ideal has been profoundly ingrained in the minds of GIs who have just completed their military duty. Suburbs that are open, sociable, welcoming, and focused on families have grown significantly as a result. The economy is growing at a rate never before witnessed in history thanks to capitalism. Space travel and supersonic flying are already realities thanks to technological advancement. The fiercely competitive private sectors try larger and bolder innovations to placate the US government. The American administration has increased the production of experimental nuclear bombs in response to the prospect of nuclear Armageddon. The most recent advancements in this field include work on a "Supersonic Low Altitude Missile" (SLAM) that may inflict unmounted devastation in the event of a conflict.

Science fiction is no longer considered to be fiction by 1955. The All-American Aeronautical Command's current goal is to compete to send the first man into space (AAAC). America and the Eurasian Empire are engaged in a so-called "Space Race." America was able to send the first unmanned array into orbit before the Europeans in recent years, most notably in 1953. **John Glenn**, a USAF pilot, also completed the first supersonic transcontinental flight safely in 1954. However, Eurasia is gradually catching up to the worries of American experts and the administration. Even yet, the infusion of German experts has allowed nuclear technology to evolve to the point that commercially available nuclear-powered automobiles are now available. Additionally, nuclear power facilities have mushroomed, displacing coal and creating millions of new employment for Americans, particularly in the south.

Ironically, the music and cuisine of African Americans are thriving. The majority of the colored population from before the American Civil War has already moved to the American-sponsored United States of Liberia project. Young people are being shaken by music like rock & roll, blues, and jazz as they continue to enjoy a time free from the problems their parent age had just a decade or two ago, fueling anti-government rebellious feelings.

In order to introduce anti-syndicalism into the culture, figures like the well-known actor John Wayne are collaborating with the government. **Ronald Reagan**, a former leftist, has openly declared his support for Talmadge. Pro-Democratic enthusiasm and anti-Eurasian propaganda are now centered in Hollywood.

## States and Territories

There are 58 states in the **Constitutional American Republic**. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Toronto, Ottawa, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Sonora, and Chihuahua are a few of the most recent to be incorporated. With the newly formed state of Jefferson in the north and Baja California in the south, the State of California was divided.

There are five different zones of American territories. These include:

* **U.S. Greenland Territory**
* **U.S. Pacific Territories**
* **U.S. Territory of the Ryukyu Islands**
* **U.S. Forces Sakhalin and Kuril**
* **U.S. Forces Forces Formosa**
* **U.S. Panama Canal Zone**
* **Naval Station Guantanamo Bay**

Three of these territories are slated to either continue as territories or become states in the future. The CAR military either owns four areas or uses them for operational purposes.
