American Kingdoms (AK)

In the setting of American Kingdoms, the world has suffered a massive loss of life, as the Mayan-D super virus was released by anarchists in 2012. 70% of the human population–some 4.9 billion people; parish as no cure can be found to stop the virus' spread. Two years after the event, the virus disappears, having lost the momentum to continue one, just as its creators had planned. Widespread violence, murder, rape, and thief breakout across the world, but none more so in the United State of America, where some 200 million people died in the wake of the virus' spread. For some twenty years the world clawed away at itself, with the death toll reaching into the tens of millions as famine and disease killed off the lucky ones.

The world began to move toward civilization once again. Then came the rise of the strongmen, the autocrats and zealots. New empires were born, each with a mandate to re-unite America. mankind had finally began to crawl, then walk, and finally run, as leaders and organizations started on their way to rebuilding society. Each with an uncompromising vision, and little time for mercy. They built armies, cities, and factories, all deticated to restoring their vision of America. Each was determined to prevent another fall, but this, of their America. In far-flung regions of the former United States rose nations of different kinds and goals, but only six of them managed to survive, and move own to challenge the world itself.

In the ravaged East Coast, the American Empire sought to build a bigger, stronger, and better United States. In the deep south, the Supreme Nation had plans for a black-dominated America. On the West Coast, the Aryan Legion wished to establish a pure and powerful land clean of "undesirables". In the mountains of Utah, the Pentecostal Union had plans of restoring the bonds between earthly man and the Heavenly Father with blood and gun if needed. In the wastelands of Texas, Outlaw Bikers had their own plans, one of which spread true freedom across the ruins of America. In the high-tech cities of the Mid-West, the Confederationists sought to avoid the mistakes of the past, and move foward anew. And in the plains of the Dakotas and Montana, the Indian Alliance planned to remove the squatters from their lands once and for.
