[[caption-width-right:156:Ben Garrison, the Leader of the Militias in Montana, arguably making him more powerful than Covington.]]

It is likely that Montana was formerly part of the Midwest Union until Far-Right militias started to take control of the Montana region. Amongst these militia groups, was a man by the name of Ben Garrison. Ben Garrison and a well known Neo-Nazi Militia leader, Harold Covington would rise to greater power than Governor Goodover, and soon, an event known as the "March on Great Falls" happened, which was fought between three primary forces, the "Garrison Militias", the "Covington Militias", and the Montanan National Guard.

California, Washington and Oregon became independent nations after the dissolution of the USA, but a significant portion of their legislatures were dominated by the CPUSA, after state elections during the 1980s. This meant that one by one, the three states were thrown into economic and political chaos as gridlock consumed them In California, Jerry Brown resigned just weeks into his Presidency of California due to pressure from communist and socialist parties, who had briefly formed a united front. This meant that the far left had a majority in the Californian assembly (combined the communists and revsocs dominated) With this immense power and the communist Speaker of the Assembly, they refused to swear in the Vice President (former Lieutenant Governor) as Brown's successor. Subsequently a group of democratic loyalists tried to overthrow the assembly and arrest communist party members, but it backfired when the people of Sacramento (at the time the seat of the assembly) rose up against the clique. The coup was stopped and the united front used it as a pretense to assume total control. The rest of the assembly had limited constitutional powers to stop the appointment of Angela Davis as the new President of California and thus she was sworn in a day after the attempted coup. Similar events were played out in Washington and Oregon but instead they had communist majorities anyway with Democratic governors so both states had voted for Davis in the 1984 election.

Once Davis had become President, the legislatures took action and forced thee respective Presidents of Oregon and Washington to resign. Because of this, it was far less bloodless in Washington and Oregon, as the communists simply took the executive branch However, once Davis became President the united front collapsed and the Assembly was once again thrown into chaos. With support from some of the military who had sworn allegiance to the communists after their historic win, Davis purged the revolutionary socialists and forced many into exile. Because of this, the following week became known as the Californian Red Terror. Davis had begun to purge the entire Assembly until the Communists held every single seat, she used manipulation extensively during this period, and for those who wouldn't budge she would use her influence in the military and police to stage a mock trial of them. At the end of the Red Terror she proclaimed the Californian People's Republic, which resulted in numerous rebellions across the country, which were relatively quickly put down. Not long after, Washington and Oregon followed suit and formed the Washington People's Republic and the Oregon People's Republic.

The entire west coast now consisted of the three People's Republics and only a few days later, they held a summit to unite under the Union of American People's Republics with Davis as President and follow the same system as the USSR with the country being a federation of ssr's. The UAPR is the most recognized nation out of all the US Region

Robert J. Bentley is a strong opponent of the Republican Party and President Bush. The country's first presidential election in 1994 saw Bentley's Independence Union gain a significant foothold in Congress, but the man himself failed to come anywhere near 'the savior's' popularity. In 2002 the party suffered an even greater loss against Republican candidates. But in the past eight years Bentley has managed to revive Independence Union to once again become a viable alternative, managing a rapidly growing grassroots movement from rural America to liberal strongholds like Miami. His victory in 2010's presidential election could spell out the end for Republican dominance, replaced by a far more democratic society.

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 essentially 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. Now with the American Republic finally stable, Congressional elections approach, which will decide the future of the former United States.

Known as 'The Remnants of the Former United States', the nation was founded after President Ronald Reagan dissolved the United States and Vice President George H.W. Bush fled south, while ordering all still loyal to the old union to follow. Along with these patriots, 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. However at this point the Republic was one party state under the Republican Party due to the cult of personality George H.W. Bush had gained. In 2002, the Republican Party had once again cemented it's place in the 2002 elections with the new president, Donald Rumsfeld.

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 leader of a far-right party based on the belief that the former US land 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.

* FallenStatesOfAmerica: In 1987, US President Ronald Reagan, in order to prevent further conflicts and civil war, announced the dissolution of the United States and the independence of every state on the territory of the former US.

The American People's Commonwealth is a nation of socialists who swear no loyalty to the to the Soviet Union, condemning it as a fascist abomination. In 1987, when the US finally collapsed, these like minded activists enforced their iron grip expelling all high class living civilians, or at least the ones who hadn't left yet but now the economy has stagnated and the industrial might of the Commonwealth has collapsed and a never-ending political deadlock between Noam Chomsky and the Central Committee, this unusual enemy of the Soviets must get back on its feet before the Soviets or the southern Remnants take it all way.

The American People's Commonwealth is the work of Noam Chomsky and Bernie Sanders. Initially the movement in the now-APC wasn't unified. Sanders called on Chomsky to unite the country, which he did. By 1990 the "revolution" was complete. Sanders brought moderates together with the far left. Which is where the Old Guard comes from. They were former supporters of Bernie. When the Central Committee gained more power and Chomsky had failed to implement his promised reforms, Bernie backed down from national politics. He retired to Vermont, only to become Governor later on. Appointed by his predecessor and loyal to the state trade councils. This was long after the murder of his family.

The Central Committee is the highest legislative body of the American People's Commonwealth.

The Central Committee is a major political institution in the Commonwealth, it's members appointed by the Trade Councils. The Committee's theoretical purpose is to serve as the primary advisors of the President, as well as ensure the Head of State doesn't abuse their power thanks to the Committee's ability to impeach them. However, this system has not worked so well in practice.

The Central Committee in its current state is controlled by the New Guard, a group of young and talented, but also power hungry and ruthless politicians, who wish to turn the APC into a more centralized, authoritarian socialist state. Their efforts are continuously blocked by President Noam Chomsky, who is fundamentally opposed to their ideas. The Committee wishes to impeach Chomsky, but is currently unable to do so, as his popularity among the governors and Trade Councils means doing so would be political suicide. This conflict leaves the APC in a state of constant political deadlock, with neither faction able to pass their desired reforms.

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders was born into poverty in Brooklyn, during his life he was a prominent activist for many leftist and egalitarian ideas and eventually he married a woman named Jane Driscoll and had three children, but everything changed for Sanders when the United States was officially dissolved by President Reagan. Working with Noam Chomsky, Sanders helped establish a Revolutionary Socialist state in the North East of what was the United States, forming the American People's Commonwealth. But, on the 8th of March 1990, when Sanders was visiting Portugal, tragedy struck. The Central Committee aligned Vermont Governor waged a brutal crackdown on all who opposed him within his state without the approval of Philadelphia's government, this led to the horrible murder of Bernie's entire family, which made him resent the Central Committee and had him vowed to never let such terror hurt anybody ever again.
