NESA

## North-Eastern States of America

The Flag used for most of the country's lifetime, albeit not accepted by citizens of the North as the true flag, just the one pushed by the NCSA

### Taken down by

Terpinetine

The North-Eastern States of America, or NESA was the result of the Second American Civil War between the many different splinter factions of the United States, as well as other World Powers of the time. After the long conflict, the Southern Alliance eventually won and NESA was created as a puppet state and Carte Idair was put in place to govern the nation.

NESA's early years were tough, dealing with the submerging of the Eastern Seaboard and the global tension created many problems such as constant supply shortages and poor living conditions. In 2046, an A.I. designed to protect the Earth against conflict and advise global leaders was hacked by terrorists from Canada in the Mexican Empire demanding billions. But the A.I., now compromised from the hacking began launching the several nuclear warheads before the terrorists had given the order, and without the knowledge this was unauthorized, other countries immediately retaliated and returned fire. Seeing this threat to the world, the NCSA would begin war with Canada.

Within the following hours allied countries protected or declare war on others, WW3 had begun. The war would last just a year, ending in 2047, but the damage had already been done. After the war, in which many nuclear warheads had been used, the planet was in ruins. The major powers of the world had fallen apart in the unrest and uncertainty and some of the last thought resources were spent fighting. Some of the only unaffected cities were located on the Moon and on Mars which had been protected by the lack of astro-warheads.

In 2054 the Terp Corporation and Inetine Industries were made were both made, the two start-up companies would soon become the powerhouse that was Terpinetine many years later. In 2076 the leader of NESA, Carte Idair would finally die at 81 from cancer created by nuclear fallout. By the end of the 2000s domed cities were made and reconstruction efforts started the help try and repair the country further. And in 2113, the technological area was restored to Pre-war times, bringing back the age of space travel. The first of these business enterprises to capitalize on the newly restored public space travel was The Terp-Inetine Industrial Corporation.

In the year 2134 rapid movements to try and detoxify areas led to the need of the domed cities to disappear. Some breathing equipment needed to be used still but people would be able to step outside without protective gear.

In 2143 in the middle of the NESA, Jim Malor was born to his Father, a government official overseeing the district and his Mother, a scientist working in Terp and Inteine Industrial. She would soon rise to become one of the most important people in the company, and key to the creation of what would become a major power in the original universe.

Through 2180, the conditions for Earth improved much considering the devastation that was WW3 but they will not be able to continue the restoration process much longer. The populations of Earth will need to be transported somewhere else to begin again anew. In 2185, the mass evacuations were underway, one city-ship at a time. The process would take years but slowly, it would work.

Many more Terpinetine ships would pass through the area Tim Malor was captured in unfazed and settle distant planets, unaware that two of their ships had been destroyed. Factories on these distant planets were established and soon a line of newly produced ships and goods would flow between these new distant colonies and the Solar system colonies.

All of this would change though in 2206 when the alien threat finally struck again, attacking the poorly armed Terpinetine ships, destroying two more. This however, would be noticed and soon all-out-war had been declared on these mysterious beings nobody knew much about. These new beings are identified solely as the ‘CB’.

In 2208 more efforts were made to retaliate against this alien force but with so little known about it, this soon proved incredibly difficult. Many of these early battles against the CB were long and each one proving to be unsuccessful.  Around a year later in 2209, After a few scouting stealth ships happened upon a CB factory on an asteroid in the area, a small portion of the assault fleet flew into the area and a massive battle took place. The factory was destroyed and this huge victory for Terpinetine gave them the full trust of the NESA public, allowing a government takeover by the once peaceful company instating a nation run entirely by Terpinetine.
