In August:tromp: makes a serious attempt at getting back the presidency. :DaBiden: refuses to back down setting into motion a civil war. Cuomo declares independence and conquers Massachusetts, Northern New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania. :AyyyyyOC-big: goes north and gets the DSA of New England to declare independence who then conquer parts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Northern and Southern New York, including NYC. Texas breaks off under :ted-texas:. Appalachia forms under a renewed Patriot Party. Meanwhile in the rust belt, the IWW makes massive inroads throughout, so when shit hits the fan they form their own militia and spreads throughout the rust belt, including northern Kentucky. Eventually :trump-anguish: gets bored trying to take the rest of the US government, which still holds onto some Enclaves in Appalachia and the Carolinas, and forms the American Confederal Republic and tries to re institute slavery, which doesn’t go well, and the African People's Socialist Party takes over as the main resistance group, carving out a large swath of territory, cutting off the ACR from the Gulf of Mexico once Texas takes part of Louisiana, and form the Socialist Republic of New Afrika. In exchange for securing Florida’s independence, they get parts of northern Florida, and force them to recognize the Seminole republic. Meanwhile in the West, the West Coast declares independence under Newsom, but John Cox launches an insurgency against them. However the :PSL:, which also made in roads takes advantage of their division and beats both of them, establishing the Pacific Worker’s Republic. They then start moving inland towards the continental divide, getting Idaho, parts of Montana, Nevada, Arizona, and Western New Mexico. They strike a deal with the newly independent Deseret in that in exchange for some autonomy and extra land they get annexed, and the PWR appoints the head of the church, who can either be approved or rejected by the general members. Meanwhile in the Great Plains, a lesser known state senator from Nebraska named Augustus Ford forms the Agricultural People’s Party, and sets about conquering land around the great plains from the US government and Trump loyalists. After striking a deal with the PWR, with him recognizing an independent Sequoyah and Lakota, he starts a program the encourages deurbanization since the cities were devastated by the war and advocates for farming as independent families, with the entire economy of the Great Plains being structured around farming. Alaska is annexed by Canada as a “sub republic”, the Pacific Territories are granted independence, Caribbean territories are transferred to Cuba, and Hawaii is absorbed into the PWR. all this, the dust settles, and the new state’s consolidate.
US government remnant
What little land is still controlled is reorganized into 4 states and military enclaves, de jure controlled by the states, but de facto under military occupation. The Democrats and Republicans remain, but the Democrats maintain an almost supermajority in government. It recognizes none of the new states and lost its permanent security seat as the NEF, which controls NYC, refused to allow any sessions in the building until it was recognized as the new permanent security member, which is why the other states were allowed into the UN. It currently funds a network of unionist parties, which advocate the reunion of parties to the government.
American Confederal Republic
This is an extremely racist state, essentially reimplementing segregation and forming a cult of personality around Trump. It’s a dominant party system with the Confederal Party holding a supermajority, and the Unionist Party holding only some seats due to extreme gerrymandering.
Pacific Worker’s Republic
This is one of the 4 socialist countries, and one of the 3 that are explicitly socialist. It is a multiparty democracy with competitive elections, following a system of 87 2-member districts. However, there are two caveats. The first is that only center left to far left parties are allowed, with the furthest right party being the Social Democratic Party of the Pacific, with the dominant one being the PSL, and the unionist party is banned. The second is that the general public only elects half of the legislature, the other half is put forward by 6 mass organizations for women, unions, black people, gay people, Latinos, and native Americans, which are functionally PSL fronts. This means that even if an opposition party gained every elected seat, they couldn’t change the constitution which sets the nation towards socialism. It has 2 autonomous areas, the Navajo state and Deseret. It has close relations to the SRNA and the SUGL
Syndicalist Union of the Great Lakes
An anarcho syndicalist commune spanning a vast amount of territory, and the another one of the explicitly socialist party. De jute there is no legislature, judicial, or executive power. However the IWW Congress de facto serves as a legislative power as it organizes and regulates relations between unions. Although there are no political parties there are 3 main factions. The industrial clique (dominant in the south), the agricultural clique (dominant in the north), and the small business clique (dominant in the cities).
Socialist Republic of New Afrika
This is another one of the 3 explicitly socialist countries. Although as socially progressive as the PWR, it doesn’t have reserved seats in the legislature, instead opting for a model with the APSP as the leading partner in a single coalition with some other parties. It does use multi member districts. As in the PWR, the unionist party is banned. They have very bad relations with the ACR, and frequently take in slaves that manage to escape the country. They have mandatory gun classes for those above the age of 14.
Republic of the Great Plains
This is a dominant party system by the APP, an agrarian Social Democratic party run by Agustus Ford. It is somewhat socially progressive. Its main opposition in parliament is the Unionist Party. Parties are elected with a first past the post system. 68% of the population are farmers, after a program of deurbanization following the war. Its sparse population is connected by a series of train lines, mostly for the transport of agricultural products.
Texan State
Essentially the New Vegas. A libertarian paradise where regulations are practically nil. It is one of the richest post american countries, but one of the most unequal, having a Gini coefficient of 0.6, with billionaires dominating the government. It operates under a similar system to the turno in late 19th century Spain, where the main parties, the Libertarian Party, and the Constitution Party would be decided which one would be the government by the richest people in the country, most notably Elon Musk, who fled the West Coast after the PWR executed bothe Gates and Bezos after seizing their assets. It varies from Socially Progressive to Socially Conservative, but is far more often conservative.
Appalachian Republic
It follows a system similar to Nepal and Guyana, where there are free and competitive elections, with the Patriot Party (a communist party) holds an almost supermajority, with the Unionist Party being the main opposition. It is generally socially progressive.
New England Federation
This follows a system of proportional representation, with the DSNE (rebranded DSA) holding most of the seats and forming a coalition with some other parties, and the main opposition is the Unionist Party. After some finagling, the New England Federation got a seat on the UN Security Council, since it now controlled the city where the UN building was located. It is generally Socially Progressive, and has pretty bad relations with the Mid Atlantic Republic which still claims NYC.
Mid-Atlantic Republic
This is run by Cuomo, who coopted the Working Family Party, turning it into a party of power, so he can effectively run the country. Its main opposition is the unionist party, which out of all the post american nations, has the highest number of seats. It is a pretty neoliberal country.
Florida
This weirdly shaped country is still under De Santis, who formed the Floridian Party, a right wing party where he rules the country essentially however he wishes. It is a Socially Conservative country.
Sequoyah, Lakota, and the Seminole Republic
These are the native american majority states, with the left leaning Unified Native, Lakota, and Seminole Parties being dominant, and have very good relations with the PWR and the SRNA.
the thought of a cuomo ran nation certainlly chills the bones lol. thank you for the info we need a fiction writing com or something where we could write alt history (and other stuff) as a group or post stories
