American State

The American State is the last remnant of the great nation once known as the United States of America, its border spanning at its height from the Eastern to the Western coast.

As of 1936, it is at war with the Dakota Rebels and Montana. It also borders the two, along with the Mississippi Empire, Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Free States and the Rockies.

History
After the assassination of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the subsequent failure to implement the New Deal reforms in order to relieve the stress brought upon by the Great Depression, the United States crumbled into a plethora of warring, independent states. It was only after the Washington Compromise that the fate of the American State had been set in stone, leaving the destitute state critically handicapped and at many's mercy.

Among its primary goals, as a standing reminder of the previous glory of its predecessor, the American State seeks the reunification of the North American states into a union far stronger than that which came before it. Through any means necessary, said goals are to be achieved, nonetheless with new, to-be implemented socio-economic and political reforms close to those of Roosevelt's ideas, that would perhaps be able to prevent further catastrophes such as the American Collapse War. Before anything, though, the American State bears still the wounds of the Collapse War, and thus infrastructural developments are due.

Modern-Days
Enemies of the Old Regime still exist. The states of Dacota and Montana, both declaring war barely a few days after the Compromise. Given the wounds of the previous war still fresh, not many eye the American State with favor - many seek to forever extinguish that last spark of the old regime, and assure longstanding independence among their peers - for whom threaten the independence of the Allied States more than that of a state with such restorative intents?

Politics
The American State is Democratic, following still the socio-political structure of its predecessor. Although Democracy does indeed leave room for ideological discord, it is a given that most parties of the American State strongly oppose the Washington Compromise.

Military
Lording over the Mid-West, the American State boasts an army of 200,000 strong, able bodied men.

Although comparably weaker than its neighbors, the state's government strongly believes that a proper implementation of the New Deal ought to solve the current, widespread economic crisis and perhaps put an end to the spirit of uncertainty, that looms its dangerous shadow over the American State.
