Mountain Republic (Square One)

The Mountain Republic is a federal republic located in the Rocky Mountains, with a population of 19.7 million people as of the 2055 Census. It is comprised of 14 states, and its national government mirrors that of the pre-impact American government, with a Congress as its legislature, and led by a President. It is an observer state of the American League.

2048 Referendum
With the recent annexations and the end of the provisional government, citizens were provided with a choice on a referendum on June 1, 2048, whether to continue being the United States of America, or to pick a new, more localized identity. While the referendum was close, citizens chose to pick a new identity, with that choice receiving 54.5% of the vote. As such, the nation would be renamed to the "Mountain Republic" and its "identity changed as such", known as the 29th amendment, receiving the consent of state governments to go ahead.
