->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The first and only President of the American People's Commonwealth, Noam Chomsky originally found his fame in two vastly different fields - linguistics and social activism. Chomsky, a prominent Anarcho-Syndicalist activist during the tumultuous 60s, became of one of the most vocal supporters of the big-tent socialist American Labor Party. When Ronald Reagan dissolved the United States, leaders and organizers such as Chomsky and Bernie Sanders founded the American People's Commonwealth in Philadelphia. The Party of Labor and reformist organizations fell to Chomsky's Industrial Workers of the World, and he was soon elected provisional president of a new revolutionary nation. After a three-year constitutional convention finally elapsed, the IWW centralized its power, but faced considerable intra-party deadlock. Chomsky found himself at the whim of international activists like Germaine Greer, who wished to transform the nation into the catalyst of worldwide revolutionary socialism, but also the New Guard and their political organ, the Central Committee. The New Guard, filled with young, pragmatic socialists, opposed Chomsky and his idealistic anarchism at every turn, but with Chomsky's influence in state governorships and the executive branch, neither could gain the upper hand. Now, even old allies like Bernie Sanders have abandoned Chomsky's anarchist movement in favor of true democratic socialism, and the dream of a peaceful American North-East with him at the helm is no closer to fruition.[[/labelnote]]

* AllohistoricalAllusion: If Fred Phelps becomes president [[spoiler: of the post-Sanders Greater American Union after Sanders was denounced posthumously]], Mike Pence converts to Evangelical Protestantism (much like he did in OTL in the 1980s) and becomes Vice President (roughly around the same time as he did in OTL).

* BalkanizeMe: Since the Soviet Union is more powerful than in our timeline, America was dismembered into various smaller countries.

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Once a humble national security advisor in the Reagan and then Bush administrations, Donald Rumsfeld first rose to prominence in the American Republic with his election as Vice President to George Bush in 1994. Moderate conservatives under the banner of the Independence Union and Democratic Party remnants failed to defeat the ticket, and together, Bush and Rumsfeld perfected the authoritarian nationalist system that has now led to complete Republican political dominance. Bush, however, did not follow interventionism as staunchly as his vice president, and the two began to spar over America's role in the world - Rumsfeld desired intervention in the world's conflicts, even with only America's South in their control, while President Bush desired economic stability above all. When Bush died of a heart attack in 2001, Rumsfeld soon succeeded him as president, and it is said that the rally-round-the-flag effect that occurred saved his political career. After Rumsfeld defeated George Bush Jr. in the primaries, he easily bested the Democratic Party remnants and the Independence Union, securing further control for the Republican Party. Throughout his 8-year term, Rumsfeld has pursued global interventionism, but has been criticized for failing to heal the economic collapse facing the nation since the so-called Flight of the Executives. His disastrous intervention in Yemen, which established an unstable conservative government has shattered his standing among much of the Bush Cult, and although he remains popular, Rumsfeld does not enjoy nearly the support as the elder Bush. President Rumsfeld will run again in 2010 according to all known metrics, but it is unsure if the Republicans will allow him and his hawkish agenda to survive the next election.[[/labelnote]]

* RedBaron: [=McConnell=] is known as the 'Master of the Senate', both here and in our timeline dues to his longtime prevelance and time spent within the Senate as both an absolute experienced veteran, and as a mastermind of cunning and influence over the Senate.

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The deeply polarizing but highly influential Angela Davis has a long history of labor and civil rights activism. She was one of the closest allies of Communist Party USA General Secretary Gus Hall, even running on his ticket for president in 1980. In the next election Hall stepped aside and allowed Davis to run for president in her own right, sweeping the West Coast and securing the greatest electoral victory in the party's history. When the beloved General Secretary was assassinated the following year, Davis was quick to marginalize her rivals and secure her position as Hall's successor. As tensions rose following decades of civil unrest, President Ronald Reagan was forced to dissolve the United States in 1987. The CPUSA already held immense influence in the West and Davis used this power to remove her political rivals, eventually forming the Union of American People's Republics with herself as paramount leader. Further expansion was prevented by hostile right-wing forces to the east, but Davis cemented her legitimacy in the eyes of most of the world by visiting the Soviet Union in 1988. At home her purges continued, culminating in the 1993 Sacramento Massacre where Davis was accused of killing thousands of dissidents. This left a deep division in the party, as Davis grew increasingly hostile to Soviet influence while the economy fell into a depression. Now her control of the party is tenuous, and her personally progressive stances and activist past has created conflict with her expected role as a supporter of Soviet hegemony.[[/labelnote]]

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While Angela Davis in our timeline was a member of both the Black Panther Party and the Communist Party USA, she is much more radical in her ideology here; going so far as to instigate purges, crush protests in Sacramento in the early 1990s, and fully support the Soviet Union.[[note]]IOTL, she left CPUSA after they continued to support the Soviets during the failed 1991 Coup and the fall of the Berlin Wall.[[/note]]

* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: In our timeline, while Eastwood served as Mayor of Carmel, he's best known as the star of films like ''Dirty Harry'', ''The Man With No Name'', and ''Will Munny'', defining masculine cool for a generation of film-goers. In ''Red World,'' Eastwood leads the opposition to the generally oppressive Communist Party of the Union, welcoming anyone in as long as they support democracy.

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]There is no man who has eroded the power and influence of his own office more than Bill Hammons. Manager of the campaign of Democratic Coalition founding father and subsequent President of the Midwest, Wesley Clark, Hammons was credited for the broad, grassroots, and centrist appeal of the popular military general's election in 2003. Guiding the campaigns of the Democratic Coalition across the country through "Runners for Clark", Hammons brought the party great victories in local and congressional elections, providing a decentralized alternative to local populations fearful of government overreach in their own affairs. When Clark expressed his desire not to seek re-election as President in 2007, Hammons was seen as the likely successor, and hastily maneuvered his way through the party leadership process. Despite the Democratic Coalition's landslide victory in 2007, the party remains deeply fractured between conservative and liberal wings, and Hammons has been categorized as someone who has only served to exacerbate tensions by standing firmly in the middle. Following the resurgence of the American Restorationist Party under hawkish conservative Hillary Rodham and the mutiny of liberals to the social-democratic Party of Hope, Hammons' base of support has steadily eroded, even among General Wesley Clark, his old benefactor. He has not yet declared his intention to run again in 2011, with public opinion low except in the most decentralized of regions, and many suspect he will open the Democratic Coalition to yet another factional struggle.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Melissa Hortman was first elected to the House of Representatives of the Great Lakes Confederation in 2001, the same year Paul Wellstone won a landslide victory on a pledge to establish a progressive Republic. She soon become a brash advocate for women's rights, progressivism, and Wellstone's signature campaign promise - a centralized republic with clear protections for civil rights. In 2005, Hortman was originally expected to run for a third term, and secure herself as a prominent representative, but instead, she decided to run for President. Wellstone had refused to run a second term, citing concerns over multiple sclerosis, and the party scrambled to find new candidates. When expected frontrunner Tom Vilsack was damaged by Wellstone publicly condemning his moderate views and inability to appeal to minority, progressive voters, the nomination process was shaken even more. Hortman, a dark-horse candidate, secured the nomination after 8 grueling rounds of convention voting. She won in 2005 by a clear majority and was elected again in 2009 by a slimmer one. Her unexpected dominance over the political system has led to outcry from nationalist groups, who decry her as an authoritarian, but also progressive groups within her own party, who label her a member of a new political establishment.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Hundreds of thousands worship the fascist systems of the Northwest, praising the liberation of white Americans, but few of them mention Harold Covington, the Northwest's liberator, in anything but a negative light. Following disbarment from the army and deportation from Rhodesia, his adopted white homeland, Harold Covington founded the idea of the Northwest Territorial Imperative, a white nationalist homeland in the American northwest. The ideal was supported by numerous organizations across the region, the most powerful being Richard Butler's Aryan Nations and Robert Jay Matthews' The Order. Following the Great Collapse of 1987, Covington, Butler, and Matthews were among the first to establish a legitimate white nationalist government in the region, its seat in Montana. The father of the Imperative, Covington, became the first leader of Montana, and thousands of white nationalists flocked to a new homeland for their endangered people. Following the death of Jay Matthews in late 1989 in his quest to secure Western Cascadia and fully unify the Imperative, many began to point fingers at Covington for the loss, and his popularity dwindled. By the mid-1990s, Covington was forced to expel prominent leaders such as his premier opponent, William Luther Pierce, and strengthen his alliance with Aryan Nations and nationalist militias to compensate, actions that sparked mass anger among hardline fascists. Eventually, he faced a hardline political revolution by Richard Spencer, a charismatic young officer who commandeered a mutiny in Spokane, Washington, and lost most of his territory and support in the resulting carnage. With Richard Butler dead in 2004 and militias taking an even more powerful role as an obese Covington struggles with his health, many do not believe the pragmatic rule of Covington's White Freedom Alliance to last through the next decade.[[/labelnote]]

* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: In our timeline, Garrison is a far-right political cartoonist and internet troll. He has amassed controversy for antisemitic, islamophobic, and sexist remarks and depictions in his work. In ''Red World'', he has become the extremist leader of the Montana militias, who helped create the militia paradise in Montana.

* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: In our timeline, Biafra was the frontman for punk band The Dead Kennedys. Here, he leads an Anarcho-Communist opposition to the Montana Fascists and Right-Wing Militias.

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]In only twenty years, Richard Spencer has risen from a young university student to one of the most beloved and powerful men among the American far-right. Spencer was already a staunch nationalist conservative during his stay in the University of Virginia, where he continually bucked the societal trends of the People's Commonwealth. Spencer, discontent with socialist programs, left university life in 2001 to pursue a political career in right-wing politics. There, in the Virginia political scene, he connected with the National Alliance, one of the most prominent far-right terrorist organizations in the American People's Commonwealth following their expulsion from Great Falls, Montana. Anti-Covington political figures there instructed Spencer in the ways of revolutionary, hardline Neo-Nazism, contributing to the radicalization of his already conservative views. Following the death of Pierce, the Alliance's leader, in mid-2002, Spencer journeyed to Montana, where he joined dissident groups within Covington's patchwork coalition. Following his own expulsion in 2003, Spencer, who had already built up a minor coalition of his own, took his militia group and seized the city of Spokane, as far from Great Falls as could be, in order to start a true political revolution. Although he expected little to follow his revolt, built around his own bizarre "White emancipationist" political views, thousands rallied to the young officer's banner, under a staunch anti-capitalist, anti-communist, and white supremacist program. After a long and bloody conflict, Spencer's Union finally has independence, although the unity of his own patchwork coalition remains to be seen.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Rick Perry was first elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1984, and was one of the first state representatives to call for an independent Republic of Texas in the wake of the Great American Collapse in 1987. A staunch Texan nationalist, he supported harsher measures against the agitation of American loyalists, and would personally fly several airlift missions during the Mexican-Texan War. In the ever-changing political landscape of independent Texas, Perry aligned with the majority of the Democratic Party in drafting a constitution for the newly independent country. He then served as Minister of Defense under President Lloyd Bentsen, his service in the war making him the clear choice to rebuild the Texan military. However, internal divisions within the Democratic Party would force Perry out of power for nearly a decade, and he spent most of the nineties working in the energy industry. He wouldn't return to the political scene until 2000, when President Kay Hutchinson signed a controversial trade agreement with the American Republic. Organizing the opposition to the continuing AR occupation of eastern Texas, Perry united Texan nationalists from both parties into the One Republic movement, the electoral vehicle for his 2001 presidential campaign. He won the election in a landslide and transformed One Republic into an official party which has dominated the political scene ever since. Perry's two non-consecutive terms, interrupted only by the presidency of his protege David Dewhurst, have been dominated by security issues and the continued conflict with American loyalists. His administration established the Texas Enterprise Fund to funnell oil revenues towards economic expansion, and brought the country into the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, turning Texas into one of the world's leading oil producers.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The descendant of a Mormon pioneer, Mike Leavitt served as a businessman and political advisor to his father, a state senator, before entering politics as a presidential nominee. Since he first ran for political office in 1992 as a Republican, President Mike Leavitt has lost as many presidential primaries as he has won, with challenges in '92 and '96 against John Huntsman Sr. and Orrin Hatch, respectively, both fizzling out before he won his first election in 2004. Following the popular Hatch's decision not to run again, Leavitt triumphed against a crowded field of candidates, and has now overseen record economic growth in the hermit republic and has successfully defended against aggression from both the north and west. Fortunately for his presidential aspirations, post-collapse Utah has also seen the infiltration and collapse of the Utah Democratic Party in the wake of a [=LaRouchite=] takeover. As Orrin Hatch established United Utah, a coalition against all forms of socialist and nationalist subversion, former Democrats chief among them, Leavitt became one of its founding and most influential members. Although they remain tense, Leavitt has continued Hatch's concilatory policies towards the Church of Latter Day Saints. Many fear that the president in Salt Lake City is controlled by a different president - the one of the Mormon church. As future elections approach, United Utah seems very likely to secure victory, but many in the party leadership have grown fearful of LDS President Thomas Monson's influence over Leavitt. Whether he can keep his position remains to be seen.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Harry Mitchell was Mayor of Tempe, Arizona from 1978 until 1992, with a brief gap in 1988 during the Admiralty Incident. Using this as a springboard to propel his political career further, he sought the Social Renewal Party nomination in 1997, but failed to win any significant number of votes outside his home city. However, his luck would turn around in 2001 when the Social Renewal and Democratic Union parties merged to create the Social Union. Supporters of his 1997 campaign turned out in huge numbers to convince the rest of the country that this time Mitchell could unite them all. At the time, Arizona was a deeply divided nation, shattered by corruption revelations and the flight of emigrants from every direction. By mid 2001, Mitchell had secured the nomination and in November he became President of Arizona. Since inauguration in 2002 his programs of moderate welfare expansion, an enormous infrastructure endeavour and an unprecedented fight against corruption have led to victories for the Social Union in every single national election. While there are no term limits in Arizona, Mitchell seems ready to retire in time for the 2013 election, and his successor may not be so popular.[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The first and only President of the American People's Commonwealth, Noam Chomsky originally found his fame in two vastly different fields - linguistics and social activism. Chomsky, a prominent anarcho-syndicalist activist during the tumultuous 60s, became of one of the most vocal supporters of the big-tent socialist American Labor Party. When Ronald Reagan dissolved the United States, leaders and organizers such as Chomsky and Bernie Sanders founded the American People's Commonwealth in Philadelphia. The Party of Labor and reformist organizations fell to Chomsky's Industrial Workers of the World, and he was soon elected provisional president of a new revolutionary nation. After a three-year constitutional convention finally elapsed, the IWW centralized its power, but faced considerable intra-party deadlock. Chomsky found himself at the whim of international activists like Germaine Greer, who wished to transform the nation into the catalyst of worldwide revolutionary socialism, but also the New Guard and their political organ, the Central Committee. The New Guard, filled with young, pragmatic socialists, opposed Chomsky and his idealistic anarchism at every turn, but with Chomsky's influence in state governorships and the executive branch, neither could gain the upper hand. Now, even old allies like Bernie Sanders have abandoned Chomsky's anarchist movement in favor of true democratic socialism, and the dream of a peaceful American North-East with him at the helm is no closer to fruition.[[/labelnote]]
Noam Chomsky is the current president of the American People's Commonwealth. He wishes for a anarcho-syndicalist nation to truly free the American people, but is constantly thwarted by the New Guard of the Central Committee. However with his health deteriorating, Noam needs a good reason to achieve his goals, but such an event could be his demise.

* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Chomsky is a historian, philosopher, and linguist professor at MIT and the University of Arizona. He is also a prominent libertarian socialist, critical of neo-liberalism, imperialism, and capitalism. In Red World, he is now President of the APC, and actively works to thwart the Central Committee's attempts to centralize power form themselves.

* CommieNazis: Gerard and his National Syndicalist Party represent the Socialist Fascism bent to the party convention focusing moreso on Trade Union Corporatism (seen in OTL Fascism) while using Far-Left Populism.

* OneNationUnderCopyright: If David Duke focuses on corporatism, he increasingly empowers businesses to the point they can potentially sideline him as a figurehead and take power for themselves in the American Republic through the "Congress of Corporations".

The American Republic, or as it is more commonly known around the world, the Remnants, is the 'official' successor state of the United States of America. However, it continues to be unrecognized by many nations. When Reagan resigned and dissolved the US, Vice President Bush seized control in Washington and ordered all loyal patriots to flee South, proceeding to shut off D.C from the rest of the world, rendering it a copy of West Berlin. Along with these loyalists, the Republican Party proclaimed the American Republic. National elections were put on hold until 1994 and and the term of presidency has been extended to eight years.
In its early years, the Republic was a one-party state under the Republican Party due to the cult of personality George H.W. Bush established. In 2002, the Republican Party had once again cemented its place when President Donald Rumsfeld was elected. Now with the American Republic finally stable, Congressional elections approach, which will decide the future of the former United States.
The American Republic faces tough economic times. With the mass exodus of executives to countries like Canada and the UK, their economy is in shambles. Luckily, the political situation is considered stable.
With the 2010 elections coming up and a collapsing economy, it is up to the American people to choose their next president. Will Rumsfeld keep his ground or will Jeb Bush, son of the Great Leader take his place? Or is it time to break the status quo and allow new leaders and ideals to step in? Robert Bentley of the Independence Union vows to restore freedom and broker peaceful relations worldwide. On the other hand, David Duke stands ready to claim his share in the game for power as the leader of a far-right party based on the belief that the US's old territories should be swiftly and, if needed, forcefully reclaimed by the reactionary American Republic. The future of not only the Republic, but the entire North American continent holds in the balance.

* {{Irony}}: The remnants of the Republican Party, explicitly formed to combat slavery, are now based in the DeepSouth and control almost all of the Confederacy's old territory.

* OurFounder: George H.W. Bush is credited with establishing the Republic during the ''Great American Collapse'', leading to him being revered throughout the nation.
