United States of Dinosauria

The **United States of Dinosauria** (**U.S.D.** or **USD**), commonly known as the **United States** (**U.S.** or **US**) or **Dinosauria** is the equivalent of the United States of America, based specifically on the "Wild West" period, where the country was expanding into the west. It is located in the continent of Murica.

This country is mainly known for its namesake, the Dinosaurs.

## History

### Era 1

Like the rest of the world at the time, this was the period that the country was formed. Not much distinction is to be made from the rest of the world. The geography is generally compared to real world America, with grasslands and deserts in the middle, and forests around the coasts, and a large mountain range in the west, dividing the grasslands from the western coast.

### Era 2

The first animals to arrive in Dinosauria were, obviously, Dinosaurs. Humans were the first race to arrive, yet were cut off geographically from the rest of the continents.

### Era 4

Populations of cultures became largely hindered by the Dread, and stayed relatively small in relation to the other continents upon revival. The large swaths of land across the country proved difficult to create large cultures stretching across large areas, especially due to the relative lack of natural resources like metal. This resulted in more reliance on the Eyesectorians, and a resulting extreme depression upon their departure, making the population even more sparse.

### Era 6

The large period of independence from the rest of the continents came to a close as established countries from these continents sought to expand their reach with higher quality water vessels to explore further out. Humans first arrived on the east coast, making settlements and transporting high quantities of fish and other resources across the ocean. Colonies were formed, and established connections with the other communities

### Era 7

At the opening of era 7, the colonies gained independence and created the modern country of Dinosauria. They claimed the lands to the west, largely unaware how large the area was, yet being alright with owning a lot of land. The leader of the rebellion, Harold Washingman, previously a normal human leader, completed a ritual to gain immortality, with "minimal" effects to his appearance. He vigorously supports the colonization of the west, wanting to create large settlements there to prevent other countries from taking the territory, and generally wishing for more territory for the country. Settlements are being created along the plains and deserts of the west, railroads being built, planned to go across the land bridge bordering the west and the east, and ideas of creating a large, prosperous country from sea to sea to sea are prevalent.

## Geography

### Climate

Due to the large area the country covers, there is a large variety of climates. The north is colder than the south, causing a temperature gradient. A large body of water splits across the continent, closing in the middle, creating a shape resembling a very thick H. The western half is taken up mostly by rainforest and tall mountains, and the eastern half is taken up by desert, grassland, and smaller forests. The mountain range creates an interesting climate, as clouds are blocked, and the sea becomes a "dry" sea which experiences little water, mostly supplied by the other waters flowing into it, such as the other oceans and rivers coming from the mountains. The west is much less populated than the east, and most cities centred upon the east coast.

### Biodiversity

The main animals which are present in Dinosauria are, obviously, dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are varied, and there is another page to be made on the subject.

Other animals have been brought over, yet dinosaurs have been largely adapted to fulfill similar roles, most of the working animals existing have been brought over due to attachment.

## Government and Society

As stated in Era 7, the leader is Harold Washingman. Technically, the country is a democracy, yet people just seem to like him enough to keep voting him into power. And the fact that other presidents tend to be incapable, or found dead in dinami.
