    United Commonwealth of America 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ame_9.png
Potential Flag of the United American Republic
Potential Flag of the United American Republic (Leaf Banner)
Potential Flag of the United American Republic (Cross and Pine)
Potential Flag of Independent Republican America (Turkey)
Flag of the American Empire
Flag of the American Provisional Congress
Flag of the Thirteen Colonies
Official Name: United Commonwealth of America, American Provisional Congress (Imperial Civil War victory), American Empire, United American Republic (Republic Referendum Success), Thirteen Colonies (Imperial Civil War defeat)
Ruling Party: Federal Unionist Party
Ideology: Fiscal Conservatismnote 
America emerged from the Great War as an ascendant power, Commonwealth troops critically serving across multiple fronts. In truth, victory was something of a revelation for the American people, discovering that not only could they fight on an equal playing field as Britain, but even succeed it.

Now the American Peril looms across a divided Empire, threatening to break the uneasy peace in the most critical moment. The Commonwealth will be a global power, the only question now is if that power will be bought in the trenches or imperial parliament.
  • Allohistorical Allusion:
    • The Melbourne torso killer is loosely based on the Cleveland torso killer.
    • The United Commonwealth can experience the Second Dixie Rebellion, similar to The American Civil War, with Southern states revolting against the federal government to maintain a racist institution.
    • The flag of the American Provisional Congress is one of the variants of the flag of the Second French Republic.
    • The American SocReds can create the Virgin Lands campaign - and, sure enough, it's roughly the same thing as the OTL Policies promoted by Nikita Khrushchev.
  • America Is Still a Colony: More specifically, the United Commonwealth consists of the East Coast up to the Mississippi River, minus OTL Michigan, Wisconsin and northernmost Illinois and Indiana, but plus New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. They can subvert this trope however.
  • Civil War:
    • If Imperial Tension goes too high, then America will declare independence from Britain as well as other American-aligned countries, while Britain declares America as a rogue nation and its loyalists will gain control of parts of New England.
    • Should the Progress Party come into power and try to end segregation, the southern states will be outraged and will attempt to secede from the Commonwealth, sparking the Second Dixie Rebellion.
  • Composite Character: While primarily based on the US, it also has some traits (and historical figures and city names) from OTL Anglophone countries such as Canada and Australia:
    • Several of the potential prime ministers of America are OTL Canadian (Arthur Currie, J.S. Woodsworth, and William Aberhart and his Social Credit Party), Australian (Jack Lang, Robert Menzies, and John Curtin), and New Zealander (Bob Semple) politicians. The prime ministers of America who were actually from America in OTL are Coolidge, Dawes, Rockefeller, Hughes, Rosenman, Cox, and Aiken.
    • A bunch of city names in the US were renamed into cities from OTL Anglophone countries, like Cleveland being named Melbourne instead.
    • Notably, many of their potential flags more closely resemble the Canadian flag than the American flag or place equal focus on maple leafs as they do on stars, with the American Empire flag being one of the only American flags to contain the red stripes. Also, the current flag of the United Commonwealth closely resembles the flag of the Dominion of Canada.
    • The country has a Royal American Mounted Police, obviously based on OTL Canadian Mounties.
  • Deliberate Values Dissonance: The Progress Party might be liberal on the issue of African-American civil rights but they will seek to forcibly assimilate the Seminole Native Americans by erasing their culture and force them to adopt an Anglo-American one.
  • Enemy Mine: If the UC wins the Imperial Civil War and the Second Great War inevitably happens, the UC will join the League of Nations in order to help Britain fight against France, despite the hostilities.
  • Istanbul (Not Constantinople): Many state and city names are different in PXTL.
    • West Virginia's closest equivalent is known as Vandalia, North Carolina as Albemarle, South Carolina as Claredon, and Florida as Seminolia.
    • Mainenote , in Vermont Montpelier is known as Burlington, Massachussetsnote , in New York Rochester is known as Zouterbommel, in New Jersey Toms river is known as Albertia, in Ohio Cleveland is known as Melbourne, OTL West Virginia/Vandalianote , in Kentucky Louisville is known as Victoria, in Georgia Athens is known as Gotha, in OTL Tennessee Lawrenceburg is known as Adelaide, in OTL Florida/Seminolia Jacksonville is known as Brisbane, and in Mississippi Jackson is known as Stirling.
  • Let No Crisis Go to Waste: Should the Anglois population of Quebec rebel against the Quebecois government, the United Commonwealth can support them in order to integrate the Great Lake provinces in their territory. This will result into a confrontation between America and Britain and can escalate into war should the UC get no concessions.
  • The Puppet Cuts His Strings: The United Commonwealth has an option to declare independence along with other British commonwealths, sparking the Imperial Civil War.
  • Shout-Out:
    • A city in Massachussets is called Arkham.
    • Another in West Virginia/Vandalia is called Silent Hill.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: While the Iberian Campaign was known to be a nightmare by Anglo-American and Spanish soldiers, it was also the catalyst for the American independence movement, since it was the first time that the Americans fought in their own banner.
  • Taking Up the Mantle: If France manages to conquer Britain, America will become the leader of the League of Nations and become the new beacon of democracy.
  • Wretched Hive: The megacity of Melbourne is described to be one. It is described to be a vastly overpopulated and polluted cityscape as a result of the industrial growth in the city. Urban planning trended to the utilitarian and much of the old city was either demolished or buried under endless miles of acroplex housing or factories. The city is also choked with smog, the people forced into cramped living quarters, and poverty remains rampant. In particular, the city’s murder rate is one of the highest in the United Commonwealth, while other crimes like bootlegging and prostitution are commonplace. It is even nicknamed as 'The Modern Sodom". All paths of the UC will attempt to reform the city in order to restore it to its former glory

In-Game Biography Click to Show

  • In Medias Res: Similar to the USA in TNO, the focus tree of the UC starts with some focuses already completed to show the actions taken by Coolidge after he took office and before the game's start date. Thus, the player has to follow the branches of continued American involvement in Nicaragua and of neutrality on the issue of segregation (very similar to Nixon's own decisions in TNO).
  • Short-Lived Leadership: No matter how he handles the Bonus Brigade crisis, Coolidge will inevitably get removed.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Coolidge has a rather small role in the game, but his handling of the Bonus Brigade Crisis will determine if the Federal Unionists can win reelection or if the SCA will spawn.

Flag of the United States of America
Official Name: Second Continental Army, Continental Interim Government (Reclamation War victory), United States of America (Congress), Greater North American Union (Butler)
Ruling Party: American People's Party - Jacobin
Ideology: Butlerismnote 
Built off the back of retired veterans from the Great War under the leadership of Butler, the SCA is a nation ready to do what is needed to ensure a fair and equal America. Every man and women must ensure the liberation of all American workers. Although our great struggle will test the limits of our dedication towards liberation we must stay strong, for no one can understand the plight of the American people beyond ourselves.
  • Allohistorical Allusion:
    • The SCA and its policies has echoes of Mao Zedong's China:
      • The Dead March West, in which the Jacobin SCA flee from the UC by undergoing an extremely long retreat through trecherous lands, losing many members to disease and clashes with the natives along the way, mirrors the Long March, a strategic retreat undertaken by the Chinese Communists to escape destruction by the Chinese Nationalists, also through treacherous lands that saw many of their members fall to disease and clashes with warlords.
      • Butler will launch the Great Leap Forward, with the intent of modernizing industry and agriculture. But unlike OTL, this one won't result in a famine.
      • Should Butler sideling Congress and defeat the United Commonwealth, he will launch the Cultural Revolution. This is similar to how Mao launched the same movement OTL.
    • America can purchase Greenland or Alaska if the Congress or Butler takes power respectively.
  • Balkanize Me: Should the SCA be defeated by the United Commonwealth it will divide the former's territory into three parts under its control: Northbasin Occupation Zone, Autonomous Province of Deseret, West Coast Port Authority.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: The SCA initially starts off as a failed state trying to hide from the UC. However, with some economic and militarization policies, the SCA can unite the Wild West and can battle against the UC.
  • Defector from Decadence: After the violent repression of the Bonus Brigade by the government, Butler and his followers fled the UC and settled on the West Coast, fully intending to one day return home and bring down the UC.
  • Enemy Mine:
    • Butler can form an alliance with Japan as both countries have the Jacobin ideology.
    • Should the Congress lead America, it can seek an agreement with the Confederacy of Free Tribes.
  • Evil Luddite: After the Reclamation War the SCA bans augmentations but otherwise takes a careful approach towards automation instead of banning it too. On a positive note, they ban sociogenetics, PXTL's eugenics.
  • Kangaroo Court: Most military leaders captured alive during the Reclamation War are shot or hanged in mock executions while others like George C. Marshall are presented before rigged trials after the war before being executed.
  • Please Select New City Name: After winning the Reclamation War, the SCA will rename Philadelphia to Washington, Georgetown (OTL Washington D.C.) to Butlerville, Victoria (OTL Louisville, Kentucky) to Freedom and Gotha (OTL Athens, Georgia) to Edenshire. The latter three replacing names linked to the British monarchy.
  • The Remnant: After the violent suppresion of the Bonus Brigade and the defeat of their revolution, Butler and his followers flee west still claiming the legacy of the failed American Revolution of 1776 by taking the name Second Continental Army.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Should Coolidge violently suppress the Bonus Brigade riots, Butler and his followers will flee the UC and embark on the "Dead March West" to a remote hideout in Oregon.
  • We ARE Struggling Together:
    • The many citizens and soldiers who make up the SCA had to travel all the way across the continent, with many dying of disease and attack by natives on the way. The SCA will have to make some tough decisions in order to survive.
    • While on the surface they are united, the Jacobins do not make up the entire body of the SCA, with Democrats and other anti-British dissidents joining them.

In-Game Biography Click to Show

Former Mexican Empire

    Empire of Mexico 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1050px_flag_of_mexico_1821_1823svg.png
Flag of Mexico (Jacobin)
Official Name: Empire of Mexico, Grand Empire of Mexico (Lost territories reconquered)
Ruling Party: Dinastía Iturbidenote 
Ideology: Authoritarian Democracynote 
The Empire of Mexico has by the grace of God managed to hold itself together since the days of independence from Spain. Under the Iturbide dynasty Mexico initially found itself as the uncontested power on the American continent, enjoying a large influx of new migrant workers and a booming economy thanks to the discorvery of gold and oil. However, Mexico would soon discovered that its believed hegemony over the Americas was little more than a quickly fading dream. Mexico must now face its demons of the past if she wishes to last in this new and ever changing world.
  • The Coup: A junta of military officers, businessmen and intelligentsia took power in reaction to the electoral victory of the socialist Popular Front in 1928.
  • Emergency Authority: The Mexican constitution has been suspended since the coup in 1928.
  • People's Republic of Tyranny: The elections of 1933 are meant to give the authoritarian regime of the ruling junta a veneer of democracy to quell public anger.
  • Resurgent Empire: Mexico may beat the odds, reconquer all of its breakaways and proclaim a Grand Empire of Mexico.
  • Vestigial Empire: Mexico used to be one of the strongest powers in North America, but years of economic collapse and political and ethnic tensions has led to Mexico losing territories. They are even called "The Sick Man of the Americas". However, it is possible for them to reclaim some of their lost glory.
