Future World Events 2013

Events in red have occurred in the real world.

April

 * 7: Appalachia asks for a emergency United Nations Security Council Meeting, reporting that the United States of Columbia has launched a full on attack on its western border. Commander-in-Chief of West Virginia Robert McIntyre asks asylum for his government and people inside the New England Republic. Borders between Appalachia and the New England Republic begin to swell with stranded refugees awaiting approval.
 * UN Ambassador Juan Lovell condemns the United States of Columbia for their hostile actions against Appalachia, as well as urging the New England Republic to open up its borders to the thousands of Appalachian refugees waiting for asylum.
 * 6: The Senate of the Great Plains approves a modification of the Equality Act (GP) which includes homosexuals and bisexuals as apart of the groups marked "minority." The President signs it only three hours after its approval. The modification has sparked protest in some more conservative areas of the country, though counter-protests quickly outnumbered the others.
 * 5: Election results of the United States of Columbia Election of 2013 have been confirmed that Zachary Hale Comstock and the Southern and Northern Democratic Coalition have won the majority of seats inside the Senate, House and State chambers. Midway during Comstocks inaugural speech, all communications with Columbia have ceased, leaving the international community confused.
 * 4: The United States of Columbia is formed by a unanimous vote by the assembly of United Coalition of States meeting in Columbus, Ohio. Signing of the Columbus Accords has declared the state a tricameralism system, new to the North American democratic scene.
