** An American Royal Family can be established and take the throne. This can be in the form of the ''House of Roosevelt'', the ''House of Rockafeller'', or the ''House of Kennedy''.
** One of the three houses competing to succeed the French throne can be chosen as the monarch of New England. These are the Houses of ''Bonaparte'', ''Orléans'', and ''the Legitimists'' (aka: ''House of Bourbon'').
** Someone from Austria's House of Hapsburg can be named the monarch.
** Finally, a member of Britains House of Windsor can be named as the monarch of New England, partially recreating the Thirteen Colonies.

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.

* BalkanizeMe: Since the Soviet Union is more powerful than in our timeline, America was dismembered into various smaller countries.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: Potentially, if the NSA is re-established under either Bush or Rumsfeld and are given free rein to watch over American citizens.
* CultOfPersonality: One has formed around former president George H.W. Bush, who is referred to as "[[MessianicArchetype The Savior]]" and "the Great Leader" due to him founding the Republic. This cult of personality is big factor in why his son, Jeb Bush, is beloved across the nation.
* {{Eagleland}}: The American Republic oscillates between Type 1 and Type 2 depending on who wins the 2010 Presidential election and what they end up doing.
* FallenStatesOfAmerica: In 1987, in order to prevent further conflicts and civil war, President Ronald Reagan announced the dissolution of the United States and the independence of every state on the territory of the former US. Many states have merged together by the start of the mod since then, but America is still divided into several nations whose leaders would rather see each other on guillotine rather than in a union of any kind.
* HereditaryRepublic: Potentially, if George H.W. Bush's son Jeb wins the 2010 and 2018 Elections.
* AHouseDivided: The Republican Party ends up being split between a faction supporting the re-election of Donald Rumsfeld and another supporting Jeb Bush shortly before the 2010 elections are underway. This gives the Independence Union and National Renewal Party a chance at actually winning the election and ending the Republican dominance.
* {{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.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite being reduced to only the American South and D.C., the United States ''still'' interfered in the Middle East (specifically the Yemeni Civil War) and caught flak for it.
* OurFounder: George H.W. Bush is credited with establishing the Republic during the ''Great American Collapse'', leading to him being revered throughout the nation.
* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: Despite being the remnants of the United States and being officially known as "The American Republic", the country is a ''de facto'' one-party state under the Republican Party. Whether or not the Republic will stay this way depends on the results of the 2010 elections.
* PosthumousCharacter: George H.W. Bush is long dead by the start of the mod, but him denouncing Reagan and urging Republican loyalists to flee south helped bring the American Republic into existence. His established CultOfPersonality can also aid Jeb, his son, in winning the presidency and re-establishing the Bush political dynasty.
* TheRemnant:
** The American Republic is all that remains of the old United States, now situated in the American South and itching to reclaim the rest of the Former US. They're even commonly known around the world as "the Remnants".
** There are still some Democrats left within the American Republic, though they've now become so irrelevant at this point that they don't even bother to nominate a presidential candidate for the 2010 elections.
* TheRepublic: They like to style themselves as this, [[SubvertedTrope though in practice]] the American Republic is more of a one-party state dominated by the Republicans than anything. Robert Bentley can end up turning the nation into a more truer example of this though, granting more liberties and attempting to peacefully reunify with the rest of America instead of using force.
* SwordOfDamocles: The reason why the APC didn't immediately seize Washington D.C. and put an end to the remnants during the Great American Collapse is because of the ''entire southern military'' being at George H.W. Bush's disposal due to their loyalty to him. Attempting an invasion of D.C. would only invite the young nation retaliation from the South.
* TakeAThirdOption: Instead of pursuing either a pro-corporate or pro-worker economic policy, a Republican president can choose to borrow Centrist ideas on economics. This can end up paying better in the long run when America is reunified.
* UndyingLoyalty: The American Republic being based in and controlling the DeepSouth is the result of this. Despite the southern states gaining independence when Ronald Reagan dissolves the US, the southern governors were still loyal to Vice President Bush and declared their support for him. In the end, Bush relocates the remains of the US government to Atlanta and urges all his loyalists to flee southward.
* VestigialEmpire: The United States has gone from a military and economic powerhouse that acted as the bastion of democracy in the West to a [[TheRemnant small republic]] in the American South barely clinging onto life whose economy has stagnated.

!!''Donald Rumsfeld''
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_usa_donald_rumsfeld_5.png]]
->'''Role:''' Head of State (2010 Election - Rumsfeld Re-elected)
->'''Party:''' Republican Party
->'''Ideology:''' American Nationalism[[note]]Nationalism[[/note]]
->'''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]]
The second president of the American Republic, Donald Rumsfeld is a member of the Republican Party. With the 2010 elections coming up, people are wondering if he will be able to maintain his position.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: Rumsfeld technically has the full support of the Republican Party at the start of the mod, but a faction supporting Jeb Bush is slowly gaining support within the party. Any pretensions that Rumsfeld is holding the party together are shattered when Jeb and his faction split the party in half through a separate nomination of Jeb as the Republican candidate.
* GameplayStorySegregation: Rumsfeld is hated by the Jeb-supporting faction of the Republican Party for only interfering in foreign affairs and wars, while simultaneously ignoring the sorry state of the economy and being unwilling to reunite the Former United States. After a 2010 Election victory, not only does Rumsfeld attempt to fix the economy later down the line but he will eventually go on a campaign to reunite America.
* HistoryRepeats: Shortly before the 2010 elections, a Second Yemeni Civil War breaks out and the Al-Islah government reaches out to Rumsfeld and his government for support just like last time. It's up to Rumsfeld whether he's going to help them or not.
* MeanBoss: He ends up removing his Vice President from the Republican ticket solely because he has [[BetrayalByInaction refused to take a stance]] on Jeb.
* SkewedPriorities: As Jeb Bush points out, Rumsfeld is more pre-occupied with interfering in foreign countries like Yemen than actually trying to reunify the Former United States. This can end up biting him in the ass during the 2010 elections.

Son of previous Remnant president and the last Vice-President before the dissolution George H.W. Bush, Jeb is a potential successor to Rumsfeld as the Republican Party nominee for the 2010 election.

* HistoricalDowngrade: Subverted. His brother, George W. Bush, takes a step back in this timeline, and instead, Jeb can go on to lead the campaign to restore the United States.
* LandslideElection: Should Jeb be chosen to be the Republican candidate in the 2018 Elections, the resulting election will be an utter landslide in Jeb's favor that further reduces the power of the Independence Union.
* LovedByAll: As the son of a popular former president, Jeb becomes popular quickly amongst the population. The game even says as much when given the option to choose him.

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 the 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 the 2010 presidential election could spell out the end for Republican dominance, replaced by a far more democratic society.

* ArchEnemy: Hates the Republicans with a burning passion and has been working against them for a long time.
* {{Determinator}}: Even after suffering numerous defeats at the hands of the Republican Party in the previous years, Bentley still clings onto hope that he and his party can unseat the Republicans who have dominated politics in the American Republic for so long.

David Duke is the leader of the far-right National Renewal party. The Party made gains in 2002 and is popular in rural areas in the Republic. Can he get elected in 2010?

* TheKlan: The KKK itself is in the American Republic, and can be brought to power by David Duke, himself a former Grand Wizard.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: If David Duke focuses on Fascism instead of corporatism and ignores the KKK, he will do several things that have critics compare him to Hitler: a Communist purge, a plan to completely reconstruct the capital, an army recruitment policy for white people only, and his own paramilitary.
* 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".

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, thus she was sworn in a day after the attempted coup. Things played out similarly in Washington and Oregon, but since they had communist majorities with Democratic governors, both states had voted for Davis in the 1984 election.
Once Davis had become President, the legislatures took action and forced the respective Presidents of Oregon and Washington to resign. Because of this, far less blood was shed 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 part 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; for those who wouldn't budge under manipulations she would use her influence in the military and police to condemn them in a mock trial. 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 Soviet Socialist Republics.

* CommieLand: The UAPR is a Marxist-Leninist style communist state made out of the former Pacific states. It is also the most widely internationally recognized of the American breakaway states, as the USSR dominates the world in terms of influence.
* RedScare: Prior to the ''Great American Collapse'', Communist politicians had significant gains in popularity in the Pacific states, to the point where Communist governors, state and federal representatives were elected with a majority. This further destabilized the political situation, and made the fears of the Mccarthy era come true.

->'''Role:''' Head of State (General Secretary Election - Davis Re-elected)
->'''Party:''' Communist Party of the Union of American People's Republics
->'''Ideology:''' American Communism[[note]]Communism[[/note]]
->'''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]]

* AllohistoricalAllusion: Davis's purges are clearly inspired by those committed under the orders of Stalin.
* 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]]

* AllohistoricalAllusion: Tyner's speech denouncing his predecessor, Angela Davis, is an allusion to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's ''On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences'' speech, which intensely criticized Joseph Stalin's brutality.
* InternalReformist: Tyner is the softer of the three frontrunners for General Secretary, aiming to reverse many of the harsh policies of Angela Davis and dismantle her personality cult.

John Foster was previously a high ranking official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but was removed from his position due to his increasing popularity threatening that of Davis. As a result, he has decided to run for General Secretary in the next Party Congress.

* ForeignCultureFetish: While the Union is already one, Foster wants to take it further. He wants to emulate the USSR as much as possible, even changing the country's flag to resemble the Soviet one, and renaming the country to the ''Union of American Soviet Socialist Republics''.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Despite being sympathetic for authoritarian regimes such as the modern day People's Republic of China [=IOTL=], Foster is nowhere near the Soviet fanatic he is portrayed to be in Red World. IOTL, he's a sociology professor at the University of Oregon who specializes in Marxist theory and ecosocialism.
* MonumentalDamage: If Foster successfully reunites the former United States, he will demolish the White House and Mount Rushmore, considering both landmarks of American imperialism.

->'''Official Name:''' Republic of Cascadia, Cascadian People's Commonwealth (Revolutionary Socialist)
->'''Ruling Party:''' Independence Party
->'''Ideology:''' Nationalism
Following months of unrest in Washington and Oregon (known in-game as the ''Cascadian Troubles''), the UAPR government cracks down hard on a farmers' revolt in Wenatchee. After the rebels are executed, dissent increased throughout the Cascadia region, resulting in further crackdowns against protests. Eventually, a group of democrats form the Popular Front and occupy Leavenworth, in hopes of gaining leverage in obtaining concessions from the UAPR leadership. When the demands are refused, Cascadia begins a full scale rebellion.

* CivilWar: Cascadia comes into existence after it rebels against the UAPR. This either delays the Union's campaign to reunify the USA under a Communist regime, or, in the event of Cascadia's victory, [[spoiler:results in the downfall of the Communist Party of the Union and rise of the Liberal Golden Gate League led by Kamala Harris]].
* WeAREStrugglingTogether: During the conflict, the rebels are made up of an alliance known as the Popular Front, ranging from nationalists to Liberals to moderate socialists. If Cascadia triumphs in achieving independence, the coalition breaks down with Walden's attempt to maintain his power.

->'''Role:''' Head of State (Cascadian Revolt), (Snap Parliamentary Election - Nationalists Elected), (Walden Election - Walden Re-Elected)

The leader of the Popular Front and organizer of the Cascadian rebellion against the UAPR, who seeks to win Cascadia's independence from the (usually) oppressive UAPR and maintain his current power by any means necessary.

* OpportunisticBastard: Subjective, but if Cascadia is successful in its rebellion, Walden is accused of (and comes across as) opportunistic, using his position leading the revolt's coalition as a means to cling onto power once the revolt is successful. While not sadistic or oppressive like others in Red World, he still uses the revolt as his way to the top.
** This can eventually lead to his political downfall, as other popular figures in Cascadia will move to challenge his presidency in order to further democratize the country.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Walden himself is a nationalist, but the Popular Front he gathers is a ramshackle coalition of democrats, moderate socialists and centrists that are only united by their shared hate of the UAPR.

The Union of the Heartlands is a nation located in the in midwestern part of the former United States. It styles itself as the successor of the United States of America, but the government only controls the capital, Denver, with the rest of the territory being de facto independent.

* TheRemnant: The Union of the Heartlands holds itself as being the last true successor of the United States of America, but has little to back up that claim. The government of the Union itself doesn't even control any of the territory it claims aside from Denver.

->'''Ideology:''' Centrism
->'''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]]

* AuthorityInNameOnly: While keeping things rather orderly in the capital of Denver, Hammons has no control over the vast area the Midwest Union encompasses. The countryside is largely self governing between various leaders.

The Great Lakes Republic is a unitary republic composed of former US states in the Great Lakes basin. However, the unitary system does not have universal support, as many still fondly remember the confederal system that came before. The country is a democracy ruled by a moderate socialist government, but President Melissa Hortman has taken increasingly authoritarian measures to preserve order as left wing activists and right wing militias vie for influence. Its capital is Milwaukee.

* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Some of them are running amok in the countryside, but they're not that powerful when compared to their brothers in Montana and only have a significant presence in Iowa. They, unsurprisingly, hate President Melissa Hortman's current socialist government and desire to overthrow her.

->'''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]]
The current president of the Great Lakes Republic. Originally a brash representative in the House who championed progressive policies, she chose to run for President in 2005 following her predecessor's refusal at a second term and won with a clear majority. Recently however, her increasingly authoritarian measures have alienated those around her. It remains to be seen if she can remain president in spite of growing opposition to her rule.

* DarkHorseVictory: Her landslide election victory in 2005 was very unexpected, since she was originally expected to remain a prominent representative in the Great Lakes' House of Representatives.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: [[DownplayedTrope Inches towards]] President Corrupt, as her creeping authoritarianism has begun to threaten the democratic foundations of the Republic. She can choose to abandon those authoritarian tendencies or embrace them fully if she maintains power.

Montana is a fascist state in the northeastern part of the former United States. It borders the Great Lakes Republic, the Midwest Union and the Union of Lincoln. Montana became fascist after a coup by nationalist militias, but despite appearances the dictator Harold Covington is a powerless figurehead, strung along by the numerous militias that run roughshod throughout the countryside. Its de jure capital is Great Falls.

* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: These run Montana, without exception. Ben Garrison serves as their ''de facto'' leader, with Covington unable to exercise any sort of power over them or reel them in.

->'''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]]
Harold Armstead Covington (born September 14, 1953) is an American Neo-Nazi who is the figurehead dictator of Montana.

* AlasPoorVillain: Covington is a Neo-Nazi that helped bring about a fascist paradise in Montana, but it's hard to not pity him when he suffers a stroke and loses what little power he ever had to either Garrison or Trochmann.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: While portrayed as the de jure fascist leader of Montana, Covington has little to no influence outside of Great Falls and his loyal members of the Freedom Alliance. The Montana militias are mostly loyal to Garrison, making him the de facto leader of Montana.
* PuppetKing: In truth, Covington is just a figurehead for Garrison and the man's militias while he wields little power at all.

A popular militia leader based in Montana.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: Garrison, as the undisputed leader of the militias and ''de facto'' ruler of Montana, is technically fellow militia leader Trochmann's superior. Despite this, Trochmann will not hesitate to usurp power from him following Covington's stroke.

->'''Ideology:''' Militia Movement[[note]]Nationalism[[/note]]
It was likely that Montana was formerly part of the Midwest Union until far-right militias started to take control of the region. Amongst these militia groups was a man named Ben Garrison. Alongside the well known Neo-Nazi militia leader Harold Covington, Garrison soon overthrew in Governor Goodover in the "March on Great Falls", which was fought between three primary forces, the "Garrison Militias", the "Covington Militias", and the Montanan National Guard.

* 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.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: In addition to being one, he's their ''de facto'' leader. This makes him the real leader of Montana, with Covington as a powerless figurehead.

Craig Cobb is the National Bolshevik leader of the few Richard Spencer loyalists in Montana, and is currently working against the Covington loyalists and Garrison's militias.

* CommieNazis: Cobb is definitely more Nazi than Commie in Red World (and fully Nazi in reality), but he follows the National Bolshevik ideology in this timeline. Like Spencer, he wants to create a white supremacist ethnosocialist state. In other words, socialist economics for white people only.
* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: Goes from the Neo-Nazi leader who attempted to take over the town of Leith, North Dakota to a lackey of Richard Spencer working against Covington and Garrison.

He has since set up the Free Revolutionary Party, and now dedicates his time opposing fascism and right-wing extremism through direct action.

->'''Ideology:''' Revolutionary Neo-Nazism[[note]]National Bolshevism[[/note]]

The Union of Lincoln is a country in Northeastern America. It borders Montana, Utah, and the UAPR. Ironically, despite being named after the emancipator, UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln, the Union of Lincoln is an isolationist, white ethnosocialist homeland led by the Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer.

* AssholeVictim: Should they get conquered (which they ''will''), nobody is going to be missing them any time soon.
* ArchEnemy: The Union of Lincoln and Montana both hate each other. The Union has no economy and has difficultly equipping a single division, while the under-equipped Montanan militias are more occupied squabbling between themselves, so nothing comes out of it.
* BullyingADragon: The Union of Lincoln occupies a portion of Cascadia despite being ''woefully'' weak compared to the UAPR. The only thing that protects it from invasion is the disagreements between the Cascadian SSR and the Party bigwigs in Los Angeles.
* ButtMonkey: The Union of Lincoln starts out with nothing but a single civilian factory. Even if the industry tree is rushed to build a single military factory, by that time the UAPR has already come knocking. Not only that, but if Cascadia wins the UAPR civil war, it will ''also'' invade the Union of Lincoln.
* CommieNazis: The Union of Lincoln is one of the few National Bolsheveik states in the world at the start of the game, aside from Gaddafi's Arab Islamic Republic. In short, their political system is "Socialism for White people only."
* {{Irony}}: The country named after Abraham Lincoln is an isolationist Neo-Nazi state that follows the [[CommieNazis National Bolshevik]] ideology.
* LastOfHisKind: In many playthroughs, the Union of Lincoln is usually the last National Bolshevik nation left in the world. This doesn't last, as the UAPR is typically not far from invading. [[spoiler: If either Gaddafi wins the Libyan Civil War or Bernie Sanders becomes president of the Commonwealth and proclaims the Greater American Union, this trope is averted.]]
* ZeroEffortBoss: The Union of Lincoln can barely equip a single division. Any war against it will be swift and quick.

->'''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]]
Richard Spencer is a white nationalist and founder the Union of Lincoln, which he describes as a safe haven for whites.
