Union State Federation

The Union State Federation (U.S.F.), also referred to simply as North America, was a state capitalist autocracy state that existed in the region of the same name from 2024 to 2061. Nominally a union of multiple equal national Union State Republics, its government and economy were highly centralized, primarily operated and run from the semi-autonomous Greater L.A., where most administrative, political and military decisions were made and undertaken.

American Civil War II
Following what many historians identify as American Civil War II, or the 'Lesser American War,' after a turbulent 2020 and 2024 U.S. presidential election in which no clear winner emerged, the President at the time is assassinated and the country descends into chaos. Former-Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton was elected Governor of New York shortly prior to this and rapidly expanded her power, arguably to the point that the City's highest office eclipsed that of an unusually weak President.

As the larger states including Texas, California, New York and Florida - and groups of states such as the Virginias and the Carolinas - gained increasingly more autonomy and power over the rest of the country, the United States as we knew it eventually ceased to exist. Instead, a lose federation of constituent "United Nation-States of America," so to speak, would take its place. The U.S. continued to be referred to as the U.S., at least officially, for a time. And despite the civil unrest unfolding in the New York metropolitan area and among prowling militia groups, business continued as usual. This ends as Long Island's bid for independence from the U.S. is recognized by Australia, the UK and China, the former a Major Non-NATO Ally, and the latter two P5 Security Councilors. In what is in time come to be referred to as the American State, secessionist sentiment spreads across New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, as well as to parts of Philadelphia and Upstate New York. This emboldens secessionists in Canada and Mexico as well, and the latter fares much much worse than the former.

As early as the 1990s the U.S. had been smuggling weapons to Mexican drug cartels under the auspices of ATF and the DHS. Particularly during the period between 2006 and 2011, when the U.S. agents allowed thousands of guns to "walk" into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Under the Mérida Initiative, U.S. law enforcement and intelligence had contributed to the conditions that have allowed secretive transnational organized crime and cartels to buy off the Mexican police, and empower the Mexican military to a position above the Mexican government itself in many ways. From this point forward, drug cartels ran Mexico. Secessionist uprisings became commonplace, beginning with the 1994 Zapatista uprising and its aftermath - which involved an acceleration of militarism by Mexican authorities. Following on the heels of the 1994 uprising, the U.S. accelerated involvement with the Mexican military under the label of "Drug Training," which was truly about counterinsurgency. This focus on insurgencies enabled and accelerated the cartels' control over regional politics and law enforcement, and allowed arms-dealer politics to rule over regional politics and law enforcement in the U.S. and both developments would fuel the autonomous and secessionist fronts in both countries, which would inevitably lead to the formation of the Union State of North America.

Mexican Drug War
During the English Rebellion in the 2020s, NATO added the Mexican Drug Cartels, particularly the Los Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartels, to the list of designated terrorist organizations. They also noted that U.S.-based PMCs were participating in "anti-narcotics" operations in Colombia and Central America, and siphoning funds from the U.S. Intelligence Community, primarily the NSA and CIA. These organizations are labelled as being the prime cause of corruption in the U.S.-Mexican governments and organized crime, which results in unprecedented polarization in American politics and further invigorates secessionist fervor in the U.S. states of California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Wyoming and West Virginia, which in turn sparks a counter-movement of Pro-Autonomy Federalism spearheaded by the U.S. states of Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, Arizona, Massachusetts, Colorado and the Tennessee Valley Authority - who declare the right to annex said states, eliminate any and all threats to their citizenry, as well as neighboring communities, and declare the right to protect their territory from domestic enemies of the United States of America. This movement expands over the next year to also include the smaller states such as Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, Indiana, Idaho, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, some of which had already undergone transformations of their own at this time. Texan-backed Oklahoman White Nationalists bomb the insurgent Oklahoman government and unleash a campaign of terror which eventually spreads to radical right-wing Republican Kansas. Earlier that year, Special Operations Command, SAC, the FBI and national guard spearheaded by the Republic Secretariat of Illinois, Michigan and Missouri take out the Texan puppet regimes in Oklahoma and Kansas with SEAL Team raids and precision air strikes on militant compounds located in Tulsa and Johnson County and arrest all government officials associated with the Kansan and Oklahoman governments, putting Texas on the list of U.S. adversaries which it now shared with Russia, which places the territory formerly afforded to the two governments to the authority in Lincoln, Nebraska. The government of the A.S. actively campaigns for not only the full sovereignty of California and Texas, but independence movements across the Deep South, New York, Kentucky, Iowa, Pennsylvania and even the Republicans in Oklahoma that are discovered to be White Nationalist Neo-Nazis. But despite the particularly-pronounced volume of this vocal minority, a majority of Americans and Mexicans opposed a unification, with Mexico in particular still struggling with their own secessionists and fallout of their President endorsing the Texan government's recalcitrant rhetoric towards NATO.



Although there were mass demonstrations calling for the independence of the A.S. in Belgium, Quebec, Northern Cyprus, Padania, the South Island, Balochistan, Bougainville, Somaliland, Catalonia the Basques, Central America, the Donbass, China, Australia, Britain and the Arab world, Canada and the Mexican people - spearheaded by the left-wing EZLN - oppose the PMC-Cartel-run secessionist states, and all politicians who benefit from their existence. With the US intelligence community's role in the rise of these narco-states exposed by NATO, public faith in the U.S. government in Washington - by this point in time, unclear and highly-contested - plummets. This allows the Communist Party of Cuba, and their ally in Guatemala - Enrique Salazar, to hijack this discontent in Texas, California, and A.S. against the U.S. and the emerging pro-A.S. insurrectionists throughout the country that wanted full-blown secession.

From the ashes of the conflict arises a totalitarian regime that would come to rule Mexico with an iron fist. The regime emerges from a union between the governments in San Salvador, Los Angeles and Guatemala City at a formal meeting in Cuba in early 2025.

At the second meeting a year later between Salazar, Clinton and Cruz in 2026 formally all-but-establishes the independence of North America and the A.S. from the United States of America.

American Cold War
The Atlantic State - although by this point in time still an unrecognized secessionist movement within the United States - would in time fuse New Jersey and secessionists in Manhattan, the Delaware and the District of Columbia and influence the increased autonomy of California, thereafter joining NATO in opposition to the Clinton-led secessionists. California would reunify with the secessionist territories of the Baja Californian peninsula - which would later inspire independence and autonomy movements in Yucatan, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Veracruz, New Leon, Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas - effectively toppling Mexico. The response to the Mexican President's appeasement of President Kerry is disastrous, and results in Guatemala and California occupying large swathes of Northwestern and Southeastern Mexico. The government is overthrown and replaced with a Pro-Guatemalan military government, the current government in Guatemala City led by President Enrique Salazar, a native-born Guatemalan of European descent. All secessionist states, except Baja California, are unrecognized and the secessionist movements are categorized as criminals and even terrorists in the case of the Zacatecas uprising. With Guatemala, California, and Mexico - supported by El Salvador, Nicaragua and Chile - signing the Articles of Allegiance, establishing the North American Alliance (retrospectively simply referred to as "North America"), a single military force is erected that all the member-states would share and be retroactively united underneath. Although these countries' attempts to form a strong military resistance to the Texas juggernaut had noble intent for the most part, it would result in the Chileans and Atlantic State merely utilizing this into simply another imperialist push of regional, intercontinental military aggression. Most of these countries would in time fall under Chilean purview, or be annexed by the North American superstate.

Although dominant in the region, the home-field advantage topped with the technological and stealth edge of the U.S. air force offer more than a match for the heavily-equipped North American-backed paramilitary and armed forces of the countries of Mexico, Central America and Cuba - despite their superiority in man- and firepower. The North American state was spearheaded by California and consisted of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska and the Yukon territory. The Upper Midwest spearheaded by Michigan annexes Montana, Wyoming, Iowa and Nebraska. Colorado annexes Kansas. While Illinois, Ohio and Arizona absorb Missouri, Indiana and New Mexico respectively after internal conflict - with the U.S. emerging victorious in the former two conflicts, and insurgent secessionist paramilitary in the latter. The neo-confederate state of 'Dixon' emerges from the former states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and the states of Utah, Idaho and Nevada merge into the theocratic democracy of 'Mormon America,' while Oklahoma and Florida change control frequently between the U.S. and the Texan-Dixie front. The NYC-area Atlantic State remains fickle - and non-allied - for the most part.

The rise of Latin American and far-right extremism in the region, and the political crisis involving the CIA, UK, UN and Turkey immediately hurls the government into further chaos. The Capitol is closed to meetings, making it impossible for Washington to legislate. The U.S. suspends its NATO membership as President Kerry begins a nationwide crackdown on dissent and Muslim populations. Kerry’s withdrawal of the U.S. from NATO brings attention to his worryingly close relationship to businessman Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, the Atlantic State and Turkish President Erdogan. There is also murmuring among governors, local and U.S. state government that the governments of the anti-NATO North and Latin American, Catholic-majority countries were cooperating with Trump and controlling Kerry and the AS to ban the interim administration in Baltimore involving the UN, unshackle Wall Street from their surveillance, and balkanize the United States. All across Europe, war drills are ran in preparation for a potential direct attack on NATO Europe by the intercontinental power bloc – Brazil, Chile and Peru representing the most threatening adversary since Nazi Germany.

The unrest in D.C. and Maryland reverberates throughout the AS, sending the unrecognized American country into a political crisis of its own. North America offers to recognize the independence of the A.S., should it agree to join North America's 'Federation of Union State Republics,'. The U.S. and NATO respond with outrage, and amid the international diplomatic melee Maryland's Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area declares support of the United Nations and the United States, despite being claimed as the new capitol of the A.S. and the United States (similar to Berlin during the division of West and East Germany during the Cold War), and under the iron-fist autocratic rule of Kerry and New York City. Most of the physical opposition is undertaken by the Independence Front and armed backers of Constitutionalism, particularly the Michigan Militia Corps., Missouri Militia,Citizen Militia, the Idaho Light-Foot Militia, III% Movement, Oath-Keepers and the Patriot and Christian Patriot movements. Although, when it became evident that the U.S. was siding with the UN and NATO peacekeeping on US soil, a large number of the Oath Keepers and Patriots would side with Kerry, the Atlantic State and Co-Sector against the US Loyalists, resulting in massive infighting and a "civil war within a civil war", leading to practically-indiscernible fault lines of loyalty and faction at times as the region descended into chaos. The North American-backed AZBR-Autodefensas in New Mexico and Texas Militia led by Gov.-Gen. George W. Bush would frequently engage in border skirmishes and play both sides of the state government and military in New Mexico, while the Pennsylvanian Military Reserve and the New York Light Foots also experienced periodic internal conflict and defections. Despite California's status as a U.S. state was at this point contested - at best - and the close proximity of the new rogue state, these events proved that the true threat lay within the U.S. very borders. And the evidence was beginning to point to the other American state that recently attained a tenuous independence recognition itself.

After the attack on Jeju Island, the growing threat from Brazil and Chile prompts a union in Westminster led by the Scottish delegation, with support from Ireland, to press Britain to relocate 30% of its Air Force, granting Scotland over 290 aircraft (85 planes and 131 helicopters) total. Scotland also gets a third of the UK’s Tanks (134), Armored Fighting Vehicles (1,962), SPG’s (29), Towed Artillery (45), Rocket Projectors (13), as well as 24 surface vessels including a Queen Elizabeth-class supercarrier (with another 6 advanced corvettes under-construction), north to British bases in Scotland at Military Bases Lossiemouth, Faslane and Clyde and the entirety of the British reserve forces are brought online, bringing the total number of active military forces in the United Kingdom to 240,050 soldiers – including Scottish forces based overseas in Canada who express solidarity in the mutual defense of Scotland from Japan, China or pan-Latin ultra-nationalists – and of that a total of 27,680 soldiers pledge allegiance to Scotland and Great Britain (along with a willing-and-able fit manpower of nearly a million), marking a revival in English Ultranationalism a decade after the Brexit referendum to leave the EU shook the foundations of the UK. The presence of a militarily-stable Scotland in possession of such a formidable military force – including the Scottish-run Vanguard-class submarines part of the Trident nuclear programme – elicits fear and paranoia amongst many elite circles in Westminster and the Greater London area at the thought of Scotland attempting to assert their independence from Britain by force – which at this point they were very-well able to do so.

Caribbean Crisis
Saber-rattling in the Caribbean between Texas and Communist Cuba prompts a naval standoff between North America and the unrecognized Republic of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico, in which North America and Texas become directly involved against the United States, the latter of which asserts neither has a claim to the region. The U.S. - already stretched thin across the Eastern Seaboard and into the Middle East and Eastern Europe - is able to muster only scattered air strikes on the Island of Cozumel off the coast of Mexico, where Texan forces were establishing artillery and rocketry, likely in an attempt to utilize a nuclear weapon. The Caribbean Campaign involving the Attack on Cozumel and the Battle of Isla de la Juventud, soon sees the Caribbean countries taken advantage of in their state of shock, by imperialist forces in Brasilia, and their secret allies in Baltimore, Los Angeles and New York City. After this information comes to light through the special prosecutors' Kerry-Clinton investigation, ties are severed between the United States and North America, as tensions escalate to the point of ignition along the Californian-U.S. Border.

Latin American conflicts (2016–2027)


Throughout the late-2010’s and into the 2020’s, Argentina and Chile deepen their military cooperation. It is through Argentina that Chile and rogue-states such as North Korea and Iran came to be so close by the early 2020’s, just prior to the final escalation in global confrontation. As early as September 2016, then President of Ecuador Rafael Correa warned of a potential ‘Operation Condor 2.0,’ in which out of fear of a resurgent Russia, the U.S. begins funding into power authoritarian regimes that would support them in lieu of Moscow. This enabling of the right-wing is most prominent in Spain - as well as the primary two offenders of the previous campaign of state-sponsored terrorism: Argentina and Chile.

Beginning in 2016, Alberto Curamil, a Mapuche environmental activist, successfully blocked the construction of two hydroelectric power projects. Chilean authorities arrested him in 2018, seemingly putting to bed the goals of Mapuche indigenous peoples for autonomy and freedom from Argentine–Chilean ethno-nationalism, until in 2019. Curamil is given the prestigious Goldman Prize award by an international human rights body, giving right-wing President Sebastian Pinera the first headache of his administration, and jump-starting what would become a near-decade-long conflict for the liberation of the Mapuche and indigenous peoples across the Americas. In June 2018, a controversial and outsized response to violence in the poorest region of Chile known as Araucania, came in response to a wave of arson and other attacks against primarily forestry companies by indigenous Mapuche and their allies. “Jungle Command,” the special militarized police unit created by Pinera, drew massive backlash with protests reaching as far away as Santiago, when a protestor on a tractor named Camilo Catrillanca was shot through the head by Commandos near the village of Ercilla in November of that same year. Even despite the growing backlash against the Colombian-trained Jungle Commandos, equipped with bullet-proof jackets, drones and high-tech surveillance and communications systems, Pinera continues to defend his Araucania policy – entrenching the opposition and drawing condemnation of the Chilean government from international bodies such as the United Nations and Amnesty International as well as the international community writ large.

After the failure of the uprising against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the spring of 2019, interests involving American imperialism for resources among other reasons such as soft warfare against the Venezuelan populace itself results in an inevitable and incredibly bloody Civil War in Venezuela in mid-2022, in which the US military intervention fails catastrophically. The repercussions cripple Colombia, which finds itself not only engaging FARC rebels, but simultaneously fighting off Tupamaro insurgencies on its Eastern border. And Venezuela soon thereafter falls victim to right-wing ultranationalist military occupation by Bolsonaro-loyalist anti-Socialist radical militancy. This causes a ripple effect across Eastern South America, affecting the Guyanese and Ecuadorian economies as well.



By this point in time, Argentina - already recoiling from economic and political crises from the 1990's and 2000's - was on the verge of becoming a failed state with the return of the Kirchner Dynasty and their subsequent sell-out to Chile regarding the New South American Depression beginning in Colombia and Venezuela.

The economic instability in its Southwestern neighbor results in parallel instability in Brazil. This soon affects the outcome of the 2022 presidential election resulting in the subsequent Communist dictatorship which allows the military to run rampant with their own ultra-nationalist, imperialist ideology - in time fully annexing the countries of Suriname, Guyana, Paraguay and Uraguay - as well as the West Indies, and as far north as the Bahamas, by 2027.

Despite Brazil's overwhelming numerical advantage, the geographically-strategic location and technological supremacy of Chile would prove too much of a threat to overcome, let alone ignore. Brazil assumes a non-aligned, neutral stance in South America similar to Switzerland in Europe, while the Southern Cone continued to exert increasingly more influence throughout South America, and Latin America as a whole. Chilean and Argentine ultra-nationalists found their views converge with the Spanish military brass and nationalist establishment, which seized upon the radicalism of the incumbent Spanish government to achieve their goals of a "Soviet American Union" with the American countries of Argentina and Chile playing the role of Ukraine and Belarus.

But perhaps the most impressive of Chile's weaponry was its unrivaled martial prowess in general. Dressed in dark gray, with the iconic Stahlhelme helmets on their heads, Chile’s soldiers bear more than a passing resemblance to the Wehrmacht of World War 2. The colorful sashes and ceremonial rapiers of their officers seem to have been pulled directly from a history book, with the goose-stepping hammering home the point. However, the Chilean military didn’t just decide to embrace the Nazi aesthetic and lift the Prussian drill and doctrine from a history book. Rather, its distinctly Teutonic style has its roots in the 19th Century.



In the 1880s, Chile managed to prevail over Bolivia and Peru in the War of The Pacific, a dust-up over mining territory in the Atacama desert. Its military wasn’t in great shape, however, and its leaders wanted to bring in some external help to gain an edge over Chile’s neighbors. Enter the Prussians. Under Otto von Bismarck, the Prussians had managed in 1870 to unify the splintered principalities of northern Germany and win the Franco-Prussian War inside of ten months. Despite its small size, Prussia had a hardcore military culture and could hold its own against far larger European powers. The Chileans shipped a bunch of Prussian officers over to whip its military into shape, and by the time the Prussian Captain Emil Körner retired as the Commanding General of the Chilean Armed Forces in 1910, the country’s martial prowess was unmatched in South America.

Within a few years of Brazil's crisis, Argentina's civil unrest, and the collapse of the Guyana and Colombian economies, following - of course - the Venezuelan Civil War, Peru had been largely isolated and cut off from the East of the continent, and Argentina militarily dependent on the Chileans and Chile economically dependent on Argentina. Resistance movements fomented - and faltered - in Ecuador, Northern Colombia, and even as far north as Panama, Costa Rica and Honduras in 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively. But the sheer tactical, strategic and technological superiority of the Chilean military was insurmountable, with no Brazil or America to come to the rescue, even all of the rest of the South American countries combined were unable to penetrate through the Andes - the longest and largest mountain range outside of Asia - or make it through almost 20 million kilometers of secured maritime territory extending as far East as Rapa Nui (or roughly 2,000 kilometers from British and French territory) - to strike anywhere vital to the aggressors' infrastructure or prevent Peru from falling into Spain's orbit. The best case scenario involving a defeat for Chile, sooner rather than later, was for the U.S. to collect itself long enough to deliver a tactical nuclear bombardment - and even then, Chile grew closer to adversaries militarily with each passing day, and the fourth-strongest country in Europe - Spain itself - was on the verge of attaining nuclear weapons of its own.

October 7, Unknown Year
Certain elements within the Department of Defense, lying just outside of the jurisdiction of the Joint Chiefs of Staff through cleverly navigated loopholes, go public with the DOD's answer to the North American infiltration of the U.S. Government via President Kerry, and Moscow through Vice President Trump: the Omega Revolution, and their paramilitary arm – Revolutionary Coalition Network – “RECON”. Initially an international intelligence, paramilitary and espionage organization founded in October of 1774, RECON stumbled upon a secret interlocking deep-state of invisible borders – existing between ultra-wealthy from the financial, military, and political sectors – that essentially implicated the three nations of the triangular power structure of the Cold War era (China, the USSR, and America) in an undeniable scandal in which all 3 participated in financial lobbying between these power brokers across the world (primarily in the West) played against each other by the NSA and Japanese Government. During the opening months of 1975, RECON narrowly saved the United States from being destroyed by Soviet nukes (thanks to the assistance of the British government). Between 1963 and 1975, RECON was a disavowed unit of the Pentagon after unearthing this conspiracy. However, after saving the US from extinction a dozen years after their disavowal, the Pentagon decided it was only proper to reestablish RECON a military and managerial heavyweight in the sector, with special powers that could challenge the Intelligence Community and/or the Joint Chiefs of Staff should they accumulate too many that made it impossible for the Legislative branch and Supreme Court to adequately challenge them. The Pentagon and Congress are contacted by UN Human Rights and Operations Officers and a Europol team regarding their eyewitness accounts of a conspiracy being carried out – in conjunction with West Germany and the Imperial Family – under NATO nations and the United States under Presidents Kerry and Trump, as well as the Joint-Chiefs (the latter of which was beginning to resemble a Junta), and that the upper echelons of the organization had been infiltrated by Interpol (which in turn had been infiltrated by the Russians and Japan via Interpol and finance respectively since the 1960’s) in an attempt by the Imperialists to break the EU and hijack NATO’s disillusionment with Atlantic–U.S. President Kerry and utilize the Alliance against the UN.

On October 11 the RECON Ambassador to the Capitol proposes that the US Government investigate NATO and the first ‘Nations of America’ summit, postulating that the NSA and – to a lesser-extent, the IC had infiltrated the bloc and were backed by the Japanese, pro-DPRK militants within the Communist Party and the Nationalist Party of Allied America against the UN. The proposition goes through Parliament but is vetoed by the President. This sparks a petition in the US to petition the UN to intervene in the "North American–U.S. Conflict," before NATO intervenes, which begins to split the armed forces down the middle, leading to many defecting to such paramilitary organizations like the NYPD, and DHS – both directly controlled by the NSA. This, however, aids RECON in their efforts to push out the current Trump-loyal Joint-Chiefs, and eventually they succeed.

Realizing that they will have to work with the UN, RECON leads a diplomatic mission to the UN General Assembly concerning the complaints of UN officers in question to the Pentagon. Throughout the next several years, the UN Secretariat begins a counter-movement to the Chinese-led initiative to ‘ostensibly dominate’ smaller sovereign nations. This eventually leads to a crisis which results in the United States seat on the Council being contested, after the Pentagon, Congress, and a record-number of the American Populace protest President Kerry and Vice President Clinton, the latter of which becomes the power behind the throne in the wake of the aging Kerry’s ailing physical stamina. Coincidentally – or not – the Atlantic American State Union of Maryland, New Jersey and Long Island is formally recognized as independent; Secretary-General Hillary Clinton the official Head of State of the A.S., with New York City becoming its Capital. Many people initially suspect the Independence Front to be behind this, but when Hillary Clinton declares herself ‘President of the Confederation', the I.F. immediately realizes that their movement had been hijacked by the metropolitan elite and that Hillary Clinton, Donald and Ivanka Trump – along with many others – were working together in the interests of pro-Kerry Texan oil barons and globalists to balkanize the United States and give the country its own version of 1989.

The IF contacts RECON, and the game begins.
