American Galactics (19-canon)

The **American Galactics** are the descendants of the United States and the American Federation that live throughout the Milky Way.

## History

See also: Rinnarverse timeline

With the discovery of FTL travel in the 24th century, the United States and the American Federation built their own spacecraft and started their own colonies on the Moon and Mars. They later advanced to the western parts of the Galaxy, where they built a network of colonies across hundreds of star systems.

In the early centuries of Galactic colonisation, the Ussians (US) and Feddians (AF) avoided each other, as they were more concerned with building their colonies and surviving instead of waging wasteful wars. As the other civilisations produced clones to expand their rule into the Milky Way, it was only then when the Ussians and Feddians built their own clones to bolster their colonies' defences. Confident by their growing armies, the Ussians and Feddians waged wars on each other, seeking to end each other as a "threat to human civilisation". The Ussians and Feddians were also threatened by the rapid expansion of the Vetarbroitar clones and their raids. Being Americans, they were already viewed as evildoers to the paranoid Vetarbroitar, and their attempts to wage war on the Milky Way and dominate it caused other civilisations to view them as dangerous and cruel.

Even though their motherlands fought in resurgent wars, many American Galactics left Earthly affairs alone. It was during the years leading to World War III when the Ussians and Feddians began waging wars against each other. They eventually evolved into the Amecon and Amelio civilisations.

In the 2800s, the Earth Union threatened to annex the American colonies in the western Milky Way, seeking to reunify humanity by force. Both of them have become more warlike and aggressive as they were threatened by the Earth Union and other warlords. Some charismatic leaders also led Amecons and Amelios into crusades to conquer the Milky Way and subjugate people into submitting to their authority.

Both Amecons and Amelios joined the Farsiders to defeat the Earth Union, seeking to avenge the loss of their people and planets to its cybernetic armies. When the Farsiders were defeated, the Amecons and Amelios fought each other again. The prevalent Amelios then sent resources to help the Unionites rebuild, and they defended them from the Shielded Nations' punitive crusades. They and other Amecons continued waging war against the more-numerous Vetarbroitar, causing them to hate Earth and its people even more.

### Relations with their motherlands

TBA

During the Farsider Siege of Earth, the Amecons and Amelios founded their own nations after the Farsiders left America in ruins. These nations were conquered by the Preservers, who then established several republics for the Native peoples to rule their homelands. The Amecons and Amelios fought the Preservers to keep their conquests, resulting in two independent republics to the east of the United States and New Afrika.

## Physiology and psychology

American Galactics are like other Unmarked peoples: they have no tracking chips and very little cybernetic implants. With advanced medical technology they are healthier and stronger than their ancestors in the 21st century.

## Culture

American Unmarkeds (the "American Diaspora", who were regarded as outcasts by the Galactics) instead fall under two broader categories:

### Amecons

* Amecons - modest, bad-tempered, fiercely independent, neat or slobbish, religious (Christian), violent. They, in turn, can be divided into two categories, the neat and devout Haleetians, and the vulgar and promiscuous Alxevins, represented by an eagle's head and crossed rifles.
	+ Amecons have Christmas, the Super Bowl (February), Thanksgiving (June 17), July 4, saints' days, MLK Day (January), Memorial Day (May), Kentucky Derby (May), Juneteenth, Baseball Day (July), Prayer Day (May), Valentine's Day, Hanukkah, Mother's and Father's Days, Democracy Day (November), Black Friday, and Easter as their main festivals.
	+ The Haleetians make themselves seem refined and strict to please their God.
	+ The Alxevins are more wild and focused on entertainment. They like to cause mischief in the form of "trolling culture", which range from hackings to raids and bombings.
	+ They never forgive any insult or harm directed against White people. People suspected of being "anti-White" are immediately arrested, accused of treason, and punished, whether with jail sentences, beatings, or executions. If they survive, they may be shunned by the rest of society. They can also be pursued or murdered by vigilantes even after they apologise.
	+ A few Amecons turned away from the fanaticism and hatred of their kin, so they rehabilitate criminals in reeducation camps.

### Amelios

* Amelios - playful, vulgar, secular, outgoing, rebellious, hedonistic, protective of non-heterosexuals.
	+ Amelios instead have Pride Month (June 1), May 1, Black History Month (February 1), Women's Day, Human Rights Day (Dec 10), Burning Man (September), Darwin Day (February 12), MLK Day (January), Juneteenth, Hanukkah, Earth Day, Democracy Day, and the anniversaries of pop culture icons as their main festivals.
	+ They get very angry whenever they see any harm or insult directed against people considered as "oppressed" in old American society. People suspected of being "racist" are immediately marked as enemies. They are arrested, jailed, and shunned by the rest of society unless they apologise. Sometimes, they are forgiven after a probation watch, and some societies force them to starve. Some extreme-minded Amelios would beat them to a bloody pulp, or kill them on the spot.
	+ Some Amelios are more sensible, as they did not want to repeat the mistakes of the Earth Union or the Four Powers. These less-fanatical offshoots of their civilisation try to convince extremists and bigots to change their ways and beliefs by placing them into reeducation camps.

Fuelled by anger against the other side's atrocities, the Amecons and Amelios gathered their members to wage war on each other. They are the tragic culmination of the culture wars and politicians of the 21st century.

### Miscellaneous

Many Amecons and Amelios tend to get into fights whenever they meet: those who choose to make peace with the other side are expelled by their communities as part of the "other side".

Amecons and Amelios are known throughout the Galaxy for a negative behaviour known as "edginess", when they joke about wanting to beat up, kill, or enslave other people, or commit any cruelty without any regret or shame. This attitude, combined with heavy indoctrination among the Vetarbroitar about the evil history of Earth, made many Galactic people abhor them as warmongers and tyrants. Some evil people took advantage of this and their rivalry to trick both of them into fighting each other by yelling curses at their demographics.

Some "reformed" Amecons and Amelios exist, who practice their cultures in a more peaceful manner. Reformed Amecons tend to promote individualism, diligence, modesty, and the traditional nuclear family; while Reformed Amelios tend to promote diversity, inclusion, accountability, and entertainment.

Like other civilisations, they also produced clones to build armies to protect themselves from enemies, or wipe out other civilisations to claim more planets.

Unlike most Galactics, some Americans are still anti-vaxxers. However, some managed to avoid becoming sick as they have modified their own bodies to become more resistant to disease, whereas other anti-vaxxer Americans were killed off by obsolete diseases.

Many Americans like to use the word "based" to refer to something they like, such as a policy imposed on a society, a change, or a victory. The usage of the word "based" outside its basic concept has become a stereotype among the Galactics to sort Americans out from their own peoples, until the term itself became synonymous with "chaos".
