United States of Columbia

The United States of Columbia is a federal republic, claiming to be the true single successor of the United States of America. Consisting of 21 states and a federal district as well a few territorial districts. Its situated between the three other remaining American republic states, the New England Republic, the Union of the Great Plains and the Republic of Deseret, it also borders Canada to the north.

Consisting of a Senate, House of Representatives and a House of States, its unique Tricameralism system is a new sight in the now growing majority of unicameral systems in the former United States. It also consists of the Executive Branch, which instead of having a single Presidential seat, now consists of the Executive Board, with each Department Head taking lead on each individual issues, such as the head of the Department of Defense, Daniel Beshear would be in control of the militaries operations if the nation were to be plunged into a war.

Its predecessor of the United Coalition of States and Appalachia showed the two extreme points of the confederate and unitary systems both failing in governing the states.

Government & Politics
Built on the principles of Tricameralism, its built so that less power is delegate to such few powers inside the federal district and that powers from the states are represented, due to the fact that the Senate had become a election by majority in the 1910's. The United States House of States consists of an appointed member from each state selected by that states House and Senate, it represents the interests of that state and how the government should be ran from a state level.

It's Executive Branch is built off the Swiss model for council management, with several department heads taking votes on using the option to veto bills, and allowing for members to run the country more efficiently. The Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense are seen as the two most powerful council seats in the branch. When running for election for the Executive Branch, which consists of 13 Departments, all parties will nominate members of the respectable parties to run for office togther on one ticket.
