United American Confederation

The United American Confederation (American Confederation, America; incorrectly the United States) is a republican confederation of fifty one republics and a single confederated district. The American Confederation is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Confederate States, which existed only during the Civil War period of American history. Its forty eight contiguous republics and single confederated district are located in the central part of the continent between Canada and Mexico to the north and south, and between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on its east and west. The Republic of Alaska is located in the northwestern part of the continent, with Canada to the east, the Bering strait to the west, the Arctic to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the south. The Republic of Hawai'i and Pacific Islands is spread across the Pacific Ocean, primarily in the Polynesian Triangle. The Republic of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands is located in the Caribbean Sea due east of the Dominican Republic and west of the British Virgin Islands. With a combined land area of 3.79 million square miles and a population of 424 million people, the American Confederation is the third largest country in the world by both population and land area. It is one of the most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations in the world, the product of three centuries of immigration from nearly every old world country on Earth. The American Confederation has several territories across the Sol System as well, with colonies on Mars, Luna, Phobos, and Demos.

Modern American history begins with the founding of the Jamestown colony in 1607 as the first permanent European colony in the modern American Confederation. The subsequent further colonization of the Eastern seaboard resulted in the original Thirteen Colonies. An increase in taxes after the Seven Years' War by the British government led to the first colonial revolution against a European empire in 1776. Being an ally of France, it was expected to support the French Empire during the Napoleonic Wars, but Britain also expected the same from the United States. The resulting neutrality and lack of decision led to the War of 1812, in which the United States proved itself capable of defeating a European empire for a second time. The War proved the legitimacy of the American country to the rest of the world, and the United States began to expand primarily after the end of the War. The outbreak of the Civil War in 1860 led to the end of slavery in the country, and also ended further civil conflicts between the rights of states and the federal government. America proved to be highly important in both World Wars, arising as a super power out of the the wars that destroyed many of the planets other powers. A Cold War with the communist Soviet Union was effectively won and proved for America to be the world's sole super power. The War on Terrorism began with the September 11th attacks in 2001, which would begin the decline of the United States as a super power. Financial turmoil beginning in 2007 resulted in the Second Civil War in 2013 after the nation fell off a figurative fiscal cliff. The war ended in 2017 with the Treaty of San Francisco and the Vesara Resolutions which placed a provisional federal government until the Treaty of New York City in 2018, which formed the modern United American Confederation out of the dying United States.

The United American Confederation is a democratic republican confederation with a small national government consisting of a President as the head of state and government, a fifty one person Congressional Council as its legislature, and three Departments which manage the national military, the national code of rights, and foreign affairs. All other forms of governance are left to the governments of the republics, which are sometimes considered to be semi-sovereign countries in their own right. The Confederated District of Washington is the only subdivision of the Confederation which is in some way directly governed by the small national government. The United Confederation is a member of the United Nations, the NATO, the NAFTA, and the OAS.
