New American Republic

The **New American Republic**, commonly known as **America**, is a sovereign state consisting of US States east of the Rockies, Eastern Canada, Manitoba and Nunavut. It was first established in 1947 as the “American Territories“ lead by Erwin Rommel until its reorganisation in 1953. It is currently run by the National Socialist American Workers Party and its capital is the newly rebuilt Washington DC.

## Overview

The New American Republic went through a period of ‘racial purification’, forbidding any relations between White Americans and other races. Most American Jews were deported to Madagascar or killed in massacres by the German invasion. Minorities such as African-Americans are crammed into ghettos in the South, similar to OTL South African Bantustans. The NAR also has an effective system of highways based off of the Reichsautobahn and OTL America. American cities remain the same as they did before the Second World war, although they a Nazi flag in government buildings and Advertisements sponsored by German Corporations on Billboards. Washington DC has also been rebuilt from scratch, inspired by Nazi architecture (commonly referred to as “European Architecture“ in this ATL). For the past few decades, the NAR oversaw successful Germanisation Programs in North America. Notably in the American Northeast and the American Midwest.

## Military

In the wake of the political upheaval that reshaped the United States into the New American Republic, the military underwent a profound transformation, drawing heavy inspiration from the German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. This bold decision was driven by a desire to adopt the efficiency and tactical prowess demonstrated by the German forces during World War II. The New American Republic Military embraced German manufactured firearms, equipment, military aircraft, and vehicles, heralding a new era of military might and discipline.

One of the most visible changes in the military's appearance was the adoption of the iconic Stahlhelm as the standard combat helmet, replacing the long-standing M1 Helmet. The Stahlhelm's distinct shape and rugged design not only offered superior protection to the soldiers but also became a symbol of their resilience and dedication to the cause. Clad in field grey uniforms, replacing the previous sand-green M1943 combat uniform, the soldiers of the New American Republic exuded a sense of discipline and unity reminiscent of the German forces that inspired their transformation.

The military's equipment inventory was revamped, with an emphasis on German-made firearms, vehicles, and aircraft. German engineering excellence became the cornerstone of the New American Republic Military's arsenal. Soldiers carried weapons such as the iconic MP40 submachine guns, Mauser rifles, and Luger pistols, known for their reliability and precision. Tanks and armored vehicles inspired by German designs rumbled across the battlefield, while Luftwaffe-inspired aircraft dominated the skies, demonstrating the military's commitment to air superiority.

## Science and economics

Under the rule of the Nazi regime, science and technology in the former United States experienced a remarkable leap forward. One notable advancement was the introduction of jet aircraft to the American public for commercial use. The sleek and efficient jet engines revolutionised air travel, offering unprecedented speed and comfort. Jet-powered airliners crisscrossed the skies, connecting cities with unprecedented efficiency and reducing travel times to unprecedented levels.

In addition to technological advancements in transportation, the economic landscape underwent a significant transformation. The Mark, Germany's currency, replaced the Dollar as America's official currency. This change signaled a shift in the economic policies and monetary system of the New American Republic. The introduction of the Mark brought about new financial structures and regulations, aimed at stabilizing the economy and fostering international trade. Although initially met with skepticism and resistance, the transition proved to be a crucial step towards economic revitalization and establishing the New American Republic as a global economic powerhouse.
