America Colonies

## **Formerly American:**

**American Mandate of the Moon (1929-2170, 2171-2172):**

The United States' claimed territories on the moon, it ultimately fell due to civil unrest. Though it was reestablished for a shortwhile, it again fell to newer more popular parties.

   **American State of Luna (2172-2300):**

One of the larger states on the moon, the constitutional dictatorship of the American State of Luna is widely known for its major military failures in the Second American Civil War of 2170. It has in recent years bounced back to be a major player on the selenopolitical landscape. It now has a large part of the moon’s heavy industry and produces 23% of its synthetic fuel. Stronger than ever, it is looking to heat up tensions with its neighbour the Federative Socialist States of Luna.

**Carden (2003-2300):**

A small city state that originally was a larger Wild-State. Originally founded by a couple of well read farmers in a land far away from the over reaching hand of the central government, where crimes were rampant. These farmers came together and with the support of the local villages started the council of 12. This council allowed every working age man and married woman to vote on their members and each member was allowed to stay on the council for 6 years, twice.

**The Falkings Republic (2172-2300):**

Being the most economically well faring state on the moon, the Falkings Republic has served as an example of post-war build up. Despite having much of its industrial complex destroyed 72 years ago, it now has a complex and fast industrial and technological scene.

A significant flaw in the Falkings Republic is that of the Majani religion. A religious extremist group that follows the teachings of their profit, the self-proclaimed heavenly girlfriend of Jesus, on a largely isolated island that officially belongs to the Falkings Republic, is worsening its relations with other neighbouring states, however, the Falkings Republic is fearful of giving this group full independence as the waterways the island can control are vital to its projected power and giving them independence may insight others to fight for this too.

**Federative Socialist States of Luna (2172-2300):**

   A state with nothing noteworthy in the present-day other than its below-average economy and its Marxist-Leninist government. However, its past is filled with propaganda inspiring tales, like the southern offensive, an extremely effective offensive ending in the siege of the James Farhold. This push ultimately forced The American State of Luna to sign an armistice and ultimately hand over large swathes of land. While it wasn’t as effective as hoped, this cemented the Federative Socialist State of Luna as a nation that would go down in history.

**The Saunders Republic (2172-2300):**

The Saunders Republic is, similar to the Silverhill Republic, known for its peaceful nature and developed education system. It, however, is unlike any other state on the moon, a Marxist democracy. Its political ideology and ideals cause it to have extreme lunaristic tendencies.

The Saunders Republic also is known by a second name, The Meadow State. This name comes from its massive and beautiful meadows, and its history with beekeeping. Its flag in part represents this with 7 hexagons 6 surrounding the central one, however, this is not to be taken as its only meaning as the symbol has wider usage and also represents its high tech industries.

**Vallern (2002-2300):**

Vallern was one of the first majour wild states and was a very early religious centric nation. In recent years, however, the nations focus on christinaity has seen a split, whith some focussing more and more and others less and less ever since the influx of great amounts of Japanese people.

**Washington (2011-2300):**

Washington was a late colony, established around the kepler sea. Named for an early president, it prides itself in its democratic principles.

**Rochland (2065-2300):**

Rochland was a combined venture of the German and American states. Its one of the more prosperous states on the far side, which comes from its bilinguality and funding from two majour colonisers.
