The Federal States was established in 2023, after several states voted to secede from the Union. The Second American Civil War saw more states secede to join the Federal States and led to the Canadian Province of Alberta becoming apart of the nation.

Though not apart of the CSTO and Shanghai Pact, the nation does have a strong relationship with Russia, but is unaligned.
