The **Bloxburg United States of America** (**BUSA**), commonly known as the **United States** (**US**) or **America**, is a rump state primarily located in North America. The United States is one of the oldest and continuously active nations part of the broader Bloxburg Political Community. The United States was originally founded in mid-2018 by Donald Trump as a building project but would later be officialised as a country in late-2019.

Historically, the United States lacked democracy, but in late-2020, the first democratic elections would be held. Since then, the United States has held elections. The United States is considered a flawed democracy due to its lack of political diversity and its dependency on senior members of the community. The United States is described as being a gerontocratic and partocratic authoritarian government due to the Republican Party and moderation team's strict hold on the government and politics of the United States.

The current president of the United States is Donald Trump, who has held the post since the country's establishment. The current vice president of the United States is Mark West. The current dominant party of American politics is the Republican Party. Historically, the vice-presidential positions have been held by either Farhan Ahsan or Chris Scott, as well as Alora Cromwell a member of the Democratic Party.

## History

### 2018

The United States was founded by Donald Trump in the Summer of 2018. Trump has remained its President since its establishment.

### 2019

The United States was popularized on Twitter in September of 2019 as a result of Ryan Bleed's efforts. Beforehand, Trump was opposed to popularizing the group publicly on twitter.

### 2022

On 11 July 2022, Farhan Ahsan announced on twitter, his resignation from all offices and his permanent leave from government. Likewise, on 12 July 2022, Mark West would leave the United States altogether, with Chris Scott joining him not long after. These resignations were sparked by the Meaningful Legislation Coalition, who Ahsan blamed for the downfall of BUSA. On 28 August 2022, Jalen West was elected the 8th Vice President of the United States unseating the incumbent Vice President, Alora Cromwell. Jalen West's electoral victory was an unprecedented moment in BUSA's history because of her controversial history as an online dater, and stripper. However, despite her victory, Alora Cromwell would attempt to challenge the election results. These challenges would lead up to Cromwell's reputation skydiving to an all-time low with Americans and Brits joining together to oppose Cromwell and her undemocratic nature.

### 2023

During this time militarism became a growing part of government and society following a period of military activity. This was used as a source of nationalism during a period of uncertainty for the country, projecting the phrase America as a country that was second to none.

## Government and politics

### President

The president of the United States is a for-life tenure position currently held by the founder and owner of the group Donald Trump since BUSA's founding in 2018. The position is not elected; however, it can be temporarily held by other individuals in an acting capacity during times when the president is unable to govern himself. Because the position is held by the founder and owner of the group, it in theory holds tyrannical power, however despite this, Trump has never stomped down on the democracy of BUSA and has rarely intervened in the actions of other members of government.

### Congress

Throughout the history of the United States, the composition of the Congress has changed multiple times. Currently, the Congress only consists of the Senate. At times, the Congress only consisted of the House of Representatives, and other times, the Congress consisted of both chambers. Regardless, Congress is the legislative body of the United States. In theory, the Senate consists of 50 seats, however in practice, the Senate typically consists of around 5 to 10 seats.

### Elections

When BUSA was first established as a state, there were no elected representatives, and all representatives were appointed by the president. However, in September of 2020, the first elections would be held for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Since then, elections have been held bimonthly. Though elections in BUSA are free, it is considered a flawed democracy because of the lack of political diversity and the political dominance of the Republican Party. In a similar fashion, although the United States is a democracy, the president of the United States is still able to appoint senators at his pleasure.

### Oligarchy of BUSA

*Main Article: Oligarchy of BUSA*

Since the group's founding, there have been a number of individuals, known as *oligarchs*, who have wielded significant power and influence over the affairs of BUSA, both publicly and privately. Historically, these members were part of the Democratic Party, however following its dissolution in mid-2022 and its replacement by the Democratic Socialist Party, these members have become part of the Republican Party. Though eventually the Democratic Socialist Party dissolved, and the Democratic Party was reestablished, these members remained part of the Republican Party, cementing its dominance over American politics.

Americans who are considered members of the oligarchy is a dynamic list and can never be completed as new members join and others retire, however the generally agreed upon list of Americans who are considered oligarchs both within and without the United States is as follows: Farhan Ahsan, Ryan Bleed, Klarissa Miller, and Mark West. Alora Cromwell, among others are sometimes considered part of the list of oligarchs. These members have wielded some sort of influence over the affairs of the United States, both publicly and privately, since at least mid to late 2020. These members have also been part of the ruling Democratic and Republican parties at various times. Because of this, the United States is generally considered a gerontocracy and a partocracy.

### Political parties

The traditional two-party system of American politics has been broken on occasion but has always restored itself. During mid to late-2022, the Democratic Party was abolished entirely as the Democratic Socialist Party became the new left-wing party and members of the Democratic Party fled to the Republican Party. There have been successful third parties in the past, most notably AKIP. Since late-2022, the Democratic Socialist Party was dissolved as the Democratic Party yet again became the mainstream left-wing party. Since mid-2022, the Republican Party has mostly become a big-tent party with conservative and liberal factions within it.
