However, the events of the past few years have endangered the continue dominance of the Republican Party, and although sitting President Herbert Hoover is himself a Republican, there is no guarantee the party will win the upcoming election.

Curtis is well known and quite popular within insider circles, and his position as Hoover's vice president has won him more friends than one might expect. However, Hoover's record has put a bit of a splotch on Curtis's record, and he will have to work hard to shrug off a challenge to his left from Alf Landon in the party primary. If he can accomplish this though, his advisors are confident his hopeful message will beat the doom-and-gloom of Garner and the extremists that threaten to sap support from both major parties. But, Curtis himself wonders if he can accomplish a recovery where Hoover could not, and it is yet to be seen how he will differ in a significant way from his friend.

| 42 | Herbert Clark Hoover is the 30th President of the United States. However, before becoming president, he was best known as an engineer, businessman, and the man in charge of the 'Commission for Relief' in Flanders-Wallonia. In addition to that record, he is also known for his two failed attempts to become the Republican nominee for President, losing once in 1920 to Leonard Wood and again in 1924 to Irvine Lenroot. Both Republicans would go on to lose their races, to Woodrow Wilson and A. Mitchell Palmer respectively. Hoover became the Republican nominee in 1928 as a compromise candidate between the Conservatives and Liberals within the party. With Hoover's victory in the 1928 Election, Republicans celebrated their victory, but their cheers would not last. As the United States was still in an economic slump, and began experiencing a major environmental catastrophe, that was and still is destroying the American farming industry. Part of Hoover's 28' campaign was the re-legalization of the SPA party, however, ever since the SPA entered into American political society, the growth of worker strikes (heavily linked to the SPA) and failures of negotiation have seen America's industry slow to a grinding halt. Hoover's policies of actively intervening in the economy and increasing the national debt has brought little success in improving the situation overall. His victory in 1932 saw little celebrations as it was decided by a House vote, and this has made him quite possibly the most despised man in America. Everyone from Democrats to the ODP, SPA, and AFP are now calling him 'The Failed Humanitarian.[[/labelnote]] |

With his surprise victory in the 1936 election, he has become the second president in the 20th Century to break the traditional two terms of the Presidency. Hoover now stands guard over a nation on the brink of another Civil War. Despite all the economic interventionism that Hoover made over the last two terms, it has not done much for the United States. According to some, including his new vice president, it actually made the problem worse. Hoover now acknowledges the dangerous position the country is in and has begun to listen to his advisors such as Vice President Knox, his new cabinet, General Douglas [=MacArthur=], and Director J. Edgar Hoover to help him solve the various economic, societal and political crises that now plague the United States of America.[[/labelnote]] |

| 46 | Herbert Clark Hoover is the 30th President of the United States, and is the second president in the 20th Century to have three terms in office. Many thought that when Hoover won in 1936, the United States would be forever destroyed, and throughout his term it looked like it was inevitable at various points. However, the important thing to many Americans at the end of the day is that it didn't occur. Hoover has gone from the most liked to the most hated and then back to the most liked politician and president in recent American memory. With the failures of his previous terms long gone, along with many of the problems facing America throughout the 30s, President Hoover and his cabinet look to the future of what this great nation can accomplish with his remaining time in office. These past three terms have aged Hoover to such a degree that the term of adornment used by the public to describe Hoover is 'The Grand Old Man.'[[/labelnote]] |

What initially seemed like a poor decision to break with Hoover's non-intervnetionalist position at the 11th hour before election day turned to his advantage when the Republican Party came with him. Even Hoover has begrudgingly come to endorse Landon, despite this personal betrayal of confidence.

| 87 | The Industrial Workers of the World was founded in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois. Its main founders were Eugene Debs, Bill Haywood, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, and Daniel De Leon, among others. Their motto "an injury to one is an injury to all" can be seen as representative of their greater party goals, which are first and foremost advocating for greater worker's rights and a new union-oriented economy. Today, the IWW is one of the most important groups within the SPA, and some would argue that it makes up its mainstream, for this wing of the party is currently the most popular. This could easily change, however. Of course, within such a faction, there are sure to be disagreements. Those who adhere to the IWW message generally identify themselves as syndicalists or anarcho-syndicalists, though they have different visions for how they would run the country. Bill Haywood has united this faction for now, with hopes to bring radical changes to the United States. As a result of this and the recent strife in the country, the SPA has exploded in popularity. Their main base of support is in the Steel Belt, which is now popularly called the Red Belt for the popularity of the SPA in the region. Due to his broad support in this area and the relative disunity of other regions, some even theorize that Haywood could win it all in the coming election.[[/note]] |

| 97 | The America First Party is a new phenomenon in American politics, but in its short existence, it has managed to explode onto the political scene like a bomb. Louisiana Governor and now Senator Huey Long, known as the "Kingfish", has solidifed control over his state, and now has plans to run for president. He has sharply criticized President Hoover's attempts to ameliorate the crisis, instead advocating his own program of "Share Our Wealth". This program would limit personal net worth and yearly income, give old-age pensions to those over sixty years of age, work to guarantee free education for all, and redistribute wealth from the one percent to the rest of the population through taxes to pay for it. Long has already become a star in American political circles, and his speeches draw thousands of onlookers from Los Angeles to New York City. His greatest support has come in the Great Plains, the birthplace of Populism. Farmers and workers alike in this region, dealing with the brunt of the Dust Bowl crisis, have flocked to Long. However, his support is not limited to these states, and Long has enough support to potentially even win the upcoming election, assuming his anti-establishment message can sap enough support from the major parties and new party challengers. Should Long be elected though, he will face significant challenges. For one, opposition from the establishment would be rather strong, and Hoover has barely even acknowledged the AFP's existence. Further, should Long win, it is almost certain the result would be denounced as illegitimate by other parties, and this could cause conflict. Whatever happens though, the Kingfish and his AFP are ready, and anyone who underestimates them would be making a grave mistake.[[/note]], Populist Party (Populist) (Garner Deadlock) |

| 100 | In a world where politics is largely defined by strict ideological lines, one might think that a man like Huey Long has no place in it, yet it is the opposite that he has proven through his career.\ |
| 101 | Born in a small village in North Louisiana, Long was exposed to poverty and precariousness from an early age. He showed it after his election as governor of his state, always putting the interests of the poorest Americans before himself through numerous social programs, and for that he did not hesitate to use the big means when the situation required it. However, he was greatly opposed by the Establishment, who called him a dangerous demagogic, authoritarian and corrupt populist. This led the so-called 'Kingfish' to found his own party, the America First Party, a populist, patriotic party based on pragmatism with the main proposed social measure being the extensive 'Share Our Wealth' program. This party does not fit into a traditional classification system, bringing together center-left progressives as well as right-wing Christian populist conservatives, all united by their loyalty to Kingfish and their disdain for socialists who they consider to be far from the spirit of America.\ |
| 102 | Accompanied by loyal 'Minutemen' and the poor of America, leading a grand alliance of populists and sitting on a huge political machine encompassing the entire Midwest, the Kingfish is determined to shape America and democracy in his own image, no matter what the cost may be.[[/labelnote]] |

| 111 | During the Red Scare in President Woodrow Wilson's administration, syndicalists and other leftists were suppressed. However, the Republicans eased this pressure, and these groups have swelled in popularity once again. The Democrats, for their part, have done little to oppose this, and it seems that they are too weak, too corrupt, or both to deal with it. As such, former Oklahoma Governor "Alfalfa" Bill Murray has decided to lead anxious Dixiecrats to a new party, called the Old Democratic Party due to its espousal of older Democratic Party values. He has even decided to run for president with the motto of fighting "Communists, Corporations and Miscegenation". Murray's fiery speeches denouncing banks and political corruption have won him significant support in the South, but he has not accomplished this alone. The Ku Klux Klan, working in conjunction with the NDWL, has become a major force within the party, and have brought in more support than Murray had ever dreamed of. There are also the corporatist Fordists, who have given Murray a base outside the South as well, mainly among disaffected Democrats and Republicans in Northern cities. For now, these factions are unified under Murray's leadership, but if he wins the election, there is sure to be tension. These are the least of his worries though, as the ODP has even been ignored by some Southern congressmen, and they are rarely taken seriously on the national stage. Further, if the party can win in 1936, it is certain that there will be challenges to the ODP's leadership, and the situation might lead to armed conflict. Regardless, Murray is certain that the current system is failing, and he believes he is the only one who can save the country from itself.[[/note]], National People's Party (Murray-Machine) (NPP Election) |

His first introduction into politics was as a campaigner and in a failed run for Senate. However, Murray took to politics, being a skilled orator and lawyer. Through alliances, he rose through the political ranks until he was elected Governor of Oklahoma. This sent him to the forefront of national politics and pitted him against Garner and the "Moderate" Democrats. Eventually, Murray split from the traditional Democrats and founded the "Old Democrat Party", which gained support from the Far-Right all across America.

| 122 | Progressives in America have a long and proud history. For all their efforts though, they have little to show for it on the national stage. Theodore Roosevelt is pointed to as a main Progressive figure, yet his bid for the presidency in the Bull Moose Party was ultimately unsuccessful. Other Progressives have tried and failed to win the presidency in recent decades, most notably Wisconsin Progresive Robert M. La Follette. Now, with the country at its breaking point, they may finally have a shot. George Norris, popularly known as the "Fighting Liberal", is quite powerful within the Progressive Party. His support of a "Fair Deal" in the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt's old idea, as well as his populist appeals to farmers, have made him the likely nominee for the party in the coming election. While they represent a platform that is distasteful to most elites, some are beginning to wonder if they would be preferable to the extremists that plague the country, and see them as a party that could address the concerns of most voters while also keeping the peace.[[/note]] |

| 125 | Despite his rural upbringing, Floyd Olson has been able to see the great diversity in America through travel and activism. Working as a Shabbos goy, an IWW stevedore, and finally an attorney pushed Olson towards Progressivism in the 1920s. Olson joined up with Robert [=LaFollette=]’s Progressive Party following the 1924 election. Olson worked tirelessly for the next decade in order to gain allies for the Progressive Party, stopping only to seek treatment for his stomach ulcers in 1930. A surprisingly influential Governor of Minnesota and a national advocate for peace catapulted him into the White House on a bipartisan ticket against radicalism.[[/labelnote]] |

| 128 | * FictionalPoliticalParty: If Norris successfully stabilizes America and wins reelection, the Progressive Party will be cemented as a major party able to compete in presidential elections. This will usher in the "Fifth-Party System" as the Democrats and Republicans merge to form the New Whig Party to serve as the Progressives' main opposition. |
| 129 | * InternalReformist: Norris conducts sweeping reforms, from the biggest unemployment relief to protecting the forests and abolishing the electoral college, in order to pull America from its dismal situation. |

| 138 | The Democratic Party is old, yet Hoover's time in office has reinvigorated the party. Prominent Democrats see the current crisis as the perfect opportunity to regain the White House, yet they are not free from challenges. For all their faults, the Republican Party has remained a unified force in electoral politics. Meanwhile, an offshoot branch of the Democratic Party, led by "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, threatens to tear the Democratic Party in half. Their base in the South could all but cripple the Democrats in the popular vote, if not the electoral college as well. Worse, the Democrats have also suffered in traditionally friendly urban areas, like New York City, which have gone over to the Socialist Party of America. Speaker of the House John Nance Garner is not in the mood for negotiation. His platform is focused on decrying socialist radicals in the North, immigrants in the cities, and minorities in the South. The interventionist proposals of Curtis and Landon are anathema to Garner; he believes they would give too much ground to socialists and populists, as he says Hoover has in his time in office. He has deemed austerity the only solution to the nation's economic woes, noting that if the country tightened its belts, perhaps it could finally function. If he wants to win though, Garner will have to expand his base beyond its traditional supporters, or perhaps win back disaffected supporters who left with Murray. This will be no easy task, and Garner certainly has a hard task ahead of him. But, if he wins, Garner is confident that his hardline strategy towards extremists will ultimately save the country. His fellow house members hope he is right, for if he fails, the country will surely fall apart. For now, all eyes are on Garner.[[/note]] |

| 168 | Son of Lieutenant general and civil war veteran Arthur [=MacArthur=], young Douglas was prepared from an early life for military service.

After serving in the Philippines, diplomatic posts in Japan, and defusing potential war in Mexico, [=MacArthur=] became Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. The strategic importance of the Philippines introduced [=MacArthur=] to Washington politics, and his set of allies and rivals. Although he adamantly denies being a politician, he has a good relationship with Hoover, conservative Democrats, and William Hearst.

| 190 | Dwight David 'Ike' Eisenhower, a fan of military history since a young age, applied for both West Point and Annapolis in 1910, being accepted in the former after the highest ranking candidate failed the physical requirement in 1911. He graduated in 1915 along with Omar Bradley and was almost discharged due to a leg injury, but West Point's chief medical officer interceded with the War Department and obtained a commission for him. Eisenhower would be posted with the 19th Infantry Regiment in the Mexican Border and reached the rank of Captain in 1917. He was transferred to Fort Benning in late 1918, where he remained training with the Camp Polk Tank school until the 1919 Motor Transport Corps convoy. 'Ike' was promoted to Major in 1920. His interest in armored warfare only grew and grew, and quickly joined Patton's and Van Voorhis in their requests of increased funding for a mechanization program. In 1924, he was sent to Panama, where he served under General Fox Conner, who decided to tutor 'Ike' into philosophy, military history and military theory and was selected in 1925 for the Command and General Staff College, graduating first in a class of 245 officers. Conner would help 'Ike' to get into the War College, becoming one of the youngest students of the academy and receiving the praise of General Pershing himself. After his graduation, he was assigned to the Army War College, and then served as executive officer to Major General George Van Horn Moseley, Assistant Secretary of War, from 1929 to 1933. Since then he has served as chief military aide of General Douglas MacArthur, accompanying him to the Philippines, where he served as assistant military adviser to the Philippine government. Since then, he has become MacArthur's undisputed second in command, and while their personalities tend to clash often, many claim that their skills complement each other.[[/labelnote]] |

| 202 | Henry Harley "Hap" Arnold, a member of the distinguished American Arnold dynasty from which several politicians and military officers were part of, signed up for West Point when he had just turned 17. While he wanted to join the Cavalry corps, his grades and overall performance in the academy caused him to be assigned to the 29th Infantry Regiment, stationed at the Philippines. In April 1911, he requested a transfer to the Signal Corps, where he completed his instruction as an aviator on May. He'd continue his pioneering work in the air force throughout the late 1910s, and became fascinated by the aircraft developments in the Weltkrieg. During the Twenties, he joined up his colleague William Lendrum Mitchell to fight for an independent air force, which lead to Mitchell being court-martialed. Arnold stood, along with other renowned airmen, in defense of Mitchell but failed to win the trial. Arnold would continue to fight for an independent air force, trying to sway congressmen and recruit pilots to his cause, until he was sent to Fort Riley for 'attempting to influence legislation in an improper manner', where he spent the next few years writing books trying to interest young people in the air force. He'd return in 1928 to enter the Army's Command and General Staff School, from where he graduated in 1929. He'd continue changing posts in the American army until 1935, where he was assigned with the General Headquarters Air Force, the closest thing to an independent Air Force he had been in all his career, being promoted to Brigadier General in March 2, 1935. With his requests of an independent air force largely refused, Arnold may harbor some resentment against the general staff...[[/labelnote]] |

After the war, Leahy has no plans to stay in power. Instead, he hopes to restore some semblance of the old democracy Americans once enjoyed, though it is unclear just what this restoration will look like.

| 219 | William Daniel Leahy, born in 1875 and growing up in the Midwest, may seem out of place in a nation of radicals, revolutionaries, and tyrants. However, as Leahy ambitiously climbed the ranks of the U.S. Navy, he always remained loyal to his country first and foremost. Like his fellow military men, Leahy was troubled by the growing chaos in the United States, and when Douglas [=MacArthur=] couped the government, Leahy was silent. As [=MacArthur=] began to crack down on both Congress and the U.S. Navy, however, enforcing his will on both groups, Leahy became more and more disenchanted with the American Caesar. When circumstances spiraled out of control, with [=MacArthur=]'s actions threatening the war effort, Leahy decided it was time to take action. Now, in the aftermath of the navy coup, Leahy leads a fractured government and a broken people in what seems like an unwinnable conflict. Despite this, Leahy has friends, both in Washington and in the West, and his commitment to democracy has soothed many who originally felt alienated by [=MacArthur=]'s leadership. With grim determination and a sharp mind, Leahy will do whatever he must to restore democracy to his battered country.[[/labelnote]] |

| 231 | When Douglas [=MacArthur=] took power in Washington, he did not anticipate the danger that an admiral could pose, and yet Admiral Ernest Joseph King has proved to be the cause of [=MacArthur=]'s demise. King, a brilliant yet arrogant man with a love for the sea and the air alike, has had a remarkable few years. It seemed that his career would be fairly unremarkable until, in the mid-1930's, King was promoted along with many other officers in an effort to help deal with the growing extremist movements in the country. However, King, believing democracy itself to be the cause of the nation's woes, sided with [=MacArthur=] when the man came to power. When [=MacArthur=] began to lord over the U.S. Navy and worse, King himself, it was a step too far. Believing that [=MacArthur=] was neglecting the navy to the detriment of the war effort, and resenting the control of an army man, King led a coup against the government. Now that he runs the country, King has many plans. First and foremost, a significant investment in the U.S. Navy is just what King believes is needed to win the war. When that is done, though, King has further plans for America. Most of all, he wishes to see America take its rightful place in the world, and to do so, he is more than willing to step on potential rivals, especially the scheming remnants of the old Entente...[[/labelnote]] |

Quentin, however, wished to be a pilot, and was injured in his training in 1918. Seeing his family and country being torn apart in recent years, Quentin pushed into politics and served as New York's Senator during the fateful year of 1936. Now that the great national disaster is over, Quentin's plan to follow in his father's footsteps and push for a new American Fair Deal.[[/labelnote]] |

| 284 | Wendell Willkie has been many things in his life before presidency. He began as a William Jennings fan, a populist-minded Democrat. He became a socialist in college, and rumors persist that he seduced Soong Mei Ling during a diplomatic visit to China in 1933. Not to mention an affair with writer Irita Van Doren. He continued to stand out when he opposed Democrats to push for a bank holiday when the Great Depression hit. This support for financial institutions and his assertions that government aid should not interfere with market competition made the difference in his election campaign. There is also his support for integrating the civil service and armed forces, which has put him at odds with many other Democrats. It remains to be seen whether this multitalented man can handle the many roles of the presidency.[[/labelnote]] |

| 294 | Son of the Mississippi Delta District Attorney, James Eastland was sidetracked from politics for the first three decades in order to run a plantation. An advocate of sharecropping who profited from their work until his plantation quadrupled in size. Eastland stood up in the Senatorial race against the Klan's candidate, and won. Against the Conservative Coalition, Eastman supported the Fair Deal legislation in his home state while voting for it in Congress. As his reputation and passage into the Constitution Party carried much weight, he successfully lead many Democratic voters to his campaign as the closest thing the party could offer to a national candidate.[[/labelnote]] |

He's a supporter of white supremacy and the deep south, but doesn't side with the CAR during the civil-war. To say he's a contradictory figure is an understatement. |

This prior stigma motivated Earl into joining numerous fraternities and lodges in order to intermingle with the people that stigmatized his father, as well as serving in the military. These connections paid off and sent Earl into a life of public service and eventually reached the Governor seat of California in 1932, where he steered the declining Progressive movement towards the political center away from the even more declining West Coast Socialist Party. Earl became a progressive entryist within the Republican party, pushing for national desegregation.[[/labelnote]] |

| 400 | While Martin Dies Jr. is a politician, those who look at him as just another bureaucrat in a suit would be mistaken. Originally just another Texan Democrat in the House of Representatives, Dies rose in prominence for his passionate opposition to syndicalism. By the time of the 1936 election, he was Chairman of the House Committee to Investigate Un-American Activities and a key ally of John Nance Garner. Once Texas declared its intent to break away from the union, Dies returned to his home state, taking with him his authoritarian tendencies. Hungry for power in the young Texan nation, Dies turned away from Garner to Huey Long and the America First Party. After gaining the favor of New Orleans, Dies became the head of the Texan branch of the America First Party, and now serves as Governor following Texas’ decision to bow to the Union State. Dies is quickly emerging as an important figure within the right wing of the America First Party and is even reputed to privately support the Christian Party. Meanwhile, he suppresses opposition to his authority, and is carefully working to shape Texas in his image as much as Long will allow.[[/labelnote]] |

With the specter of isolationism that Philip's father Robert stood for, Philip nonetheless stands behind the need for a strong military in the Americas as well as the full extent and strength of the government as promoted by the Farmer Labor Party.[[/labelnote]] |

| 517 | Humble beginnings as an Iowa farmer did not dissuade a young Henry Wallace from seeing the world and gaining worldly insight. His fortune came from inventing hybrid corn breeds, a major innovation that allowed Wallace him travel the world. Henry visited India and became acquainted with Theosophy, a Hinduist school of thought popular in Russia that draws elements from Christian Anarchism and Socialism. These teachings ultimately alienated him from mainstream socialism and pushed him into the Farmer Labor Party when he returned.

| 544 | Growing up and out of the rural reaches of Illinois, Ronald Reagan had first caught the public’s eye with his soothing voice and witty personality, culminating in a uniquely charismatic figure that many Americans would tune in to listen time to time. Not soon after the outbreak of the Second American Civil War, Reagan would find himself day by day at the front end of the microphone, broadcasting to the loyal men and women of the United States and offering a source of comfort to the soldiers on the federal frontlines. In such little time the radio star’s popularity skyrocketed, and after the war had ended he would ride his fame all the way to the Oval Office, as a ‘man of the people’, and a stalwart reminder of the United State’s perseverance against extremism.

| 553 | Born in Owosso, Michigan, on March 24, 1902 - Thomas Edmund Dewey attended the University of Michigan, where he briefly contemplated a career in singing. After a throat ailment convinced him a job in such was risky, Dewey instead pursued law which brought him to New York City. First serving as a federal prosecutor, Dewey achieved headlines in the 1930s by prosecuting gangster Waxey Gordon. With an excellent memory, Dewey used his details of crimes and telephone taps to bring down criminal organizations. Unfortunately for Dewey, however, the great civil war forced him to flee from New York City and head north to New England, where he would serve as governor in 1942, 1946, and 1950. Regarded as an honest and effective governor, Dewey banned racial discrimination in employment and increased state aid for education and salaries for state employees. His Postwar "Reconstruction Fund" helped the city of New York recover after years of brutal civil war that had utterly devastated the metropolis, and with such fame, he achieved the Republican nomination in 1952.\ |
| 554 | Securing the election of 1952, Dewey is now the 36th President of the United States and leads a mighty America, years of civil war and instability long behind her.

| 565 | Harding may seem like a typical Republican at first glance, extolling the virtues of small government and the classic free market economy, but it would be foolish to limit him to that. He first became known in his home state of Ohio for his outspoken rejection of political machines, his generally more progressive views than the average conservative Republican, and his natural charisma, with Harry M. Daugherty, then U.S. Attorney General, even saying of Harding that ‘He looked like a President’. Harding, as a Senator from Ohio, championed opposition to the Socialist Party of America in his home state as socialist ideals advanced greatly in popularity there.\ |
| 566 | Unfortunately, no one is perfect, and one of Harding's hallmarks is the proliferation of scandals of all kinds, from extramarital affairs to political shenanigans by his allies.

| 576 | Born around [=DeMotte=], Indiana on August 22nd, 1900, Charles Abraham Halleck started his career the way many future politicians do - by pursuing a career in law. Soon after graduating from Indiana University and being admitted to the bar, Halleck became the prosecuting attorney for Indiana's 13th district court. Halleck's formal entry into politics only came in 1934, when he was chosen to take the seat of an incoming Republican representative who had died less than two weeks after that year's midterm elections. Halleck was only in Washington for two years before the Second Civil War broke out, but he saw enough to determine that compromise with the radicals was useless at best and un-American at worst. The young representative doggedly supported the Federal war effort, but eventually made waves by declaring that emergency price controls and rationing should be rolled back as soon as possible - he argued that Americans should "live again as God meant them to live", and not as some Washington bureaucrat did.\ |
| 577 | Throughout his career, Halleck has defined himself as an ardently conservative Republican, scoffing at the party's Eastern establishment and their calls for moderation. To him, Americans didn't fight two civil wars just for the government to micromanage their lives - they fought for the freedom to live as they pleased, and their right to live under a government that holds this freedom sacred. Ushering a new generation of post-war politicians, President Halleck has made it clear that his sole mission is to ensure that America will be free for decades to come.[[/labelnote]] |

Truman had dropped his college and law degree to prepare himself for the conflict that never came.

Truman brought this this discipline in the face of chaotic warfare back to Missouri and helped the state as Senator relieve towns that were struck by the chaos of 1936. For this Truman was promoted within the Democratic Party, and supported the New Deal legislation.

| 742 | Herbert Charles Heitke was born in a German immigrant family, and would sign up for West Point in 1913, graduating in 1917 as an infantry second lieutenant. He was first assigned to the Quartermaster Corps of the Army's Reserve in Georgia, reaching the rank of first lieutenant in 1920 and captain in 1923. In 1925, while he was still in the Reserve Corps, he transferred to the Cavalry corps and was assigned as Assistant Professor of History and Social Sciences at West Point. In late 1929, he was transferred to the Army's Cavalry School at Fort Riley, and remained in this position until now, earning the promotion to Colonel in 1934. He has remained a relevant member of the staff, but his constant criticism of the Hoover Administration are starting to make a dent in the government's legitimacy...[[/labelnote]] |

| 809 | Born in 1893 to an impoverished family, Omar Bradley grew up with a love for athletics and firearms. In fact, after a talented baseball career in high school, he was offered a spot in several professional teams, but he declined to pursue a future in the military. Bradley became a military instructor and eventually became acquainted with George Marshall, who described him as "quiet, unassuming, capable, with sound common sense". More recently, Bradley taught at West Point, then studied at the U.S. Army War College. Bradley has undergone a meteoric rise in rank in the various recent American crises; a shortage in the American military leadership means that he is one of the first men called upon to lead. His boss, George Marshall, once said that you could give Bradley a job and forget about it. Now though, he must perform the job of a lifetime: saving America from itself. Douglas [=MacArthur=] has assumed control of the country, and partly due to the animosity between the two men, partly due to his high rank, Bradley has been sent to lead Federal forces in the West. He will be assisted in this task by Dwight Eisenhower, a man who Bradley trusts and respects far more than [=MacArthur=]. This 'Western Command Center' will theoretically exist only so long as rebels exist; once they have are defeated, it will be reincorporated into the United States. However, if Douglas [=MacArthur=] fails to fulfill his promise of stepping down once the crisis is over, desperate measures may need to be taken to ensure the contiuation of democracy in America...[[/labelnote]] |

| 814 | * RegimeChange: The Containment doctrine adopted by the Bradley administration involves providing aid to countries in danger of falling to leftist radicals, and causing tensions within those that already did. |
| 815 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Though ostensibly loyal to Douglas [=MacArthur's=] junta in DC, Bradley is no fan of [=MacArthur=] himself. When the civil war erupts, this alignment has been cemented, but there is certainly a potential for conflict should the USA emerge victorious. |

| 827 | Son of Lieutenant general and civil war veteran Arthur [=MacArthur=], young Douglas was prepared from an early life for military service.

After serving in the Philippines, diplomatic posts in Japan, and defusing potential war in Mexico, [=MacArthur=] became Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. The strategic importance of the Philippines introduced [=MacArthur=] to Washington politics, and his set of allies and rivals. Although he adamantly denies being a politician, he has a good relationship with Hoover, conservative Democrats, and William Hearst. Despite his occasional admiration of populist James Coxey, [=MacArthur=] is willing to use deadly force against socialists, southern populists, and the forces that perpetuate political gridlock in Washington and elsewhere. This is a fact his men have learned and his enemies have learned even more so in recent times, but with the US defeated in the East, now only the Western Command Center remains. [=MacArthur=] has fled West and he seems to be a changed man, a new gleam in his eye. His anger and ultranationalism have only increased as a result of his loss in the East and he is now determined to win the war, whatever it takes...[[/labelnote]] |

| 845 | Born in 1890 to a family tracing its presence in America to the eighteenth-century, Dwight D. Eisenhower had an eventful childhood. He had many interests, but chief among them was a love for military history, inspired by his mother's history book collection. Eisenhower was eventually accepted into West Point, where he tried his hand at a variety of sports, though none would hold his love more than playing cards. Eisenhower met Omar Bradley, a man with whom he would develop a close friendship, at West Point, and the two have both progressed in the military since. Eisenhower's organizational abilities first shined in this period of his life, but they only became more apparent to all observers once he began to command men and units. He held the rank of major for sixteen years but continued gaining prestige and influence within the military, working with men such as George S. Patton, John J. Pershing, Fox Conner, Douglas [=MacArthur=], and George Marshall. As for [=MacArthur=], it seems that destiny, fate, or whatever else one decides to believe in has put these two men together. Eisenhower has served as one of [=MacArthur=]'s top men, and though the two have had vehement disagreements, Eisenhower has downplayed that part of their relationship, noting that they have always had a good relationship. However, as the two fought over [=MacArthur=]'s reaction to the Bonus March in 1932, so too have they fought over [=MacArthur=]'s increasing involvement over politics. Eisenhower had publicly supported the Federal and[=MacArthur=]ite lines, but they had argued behind the scenes. During the war, Ike was given joint control over Federal lands in the West with Omar Bradley as a general, a position he held even as enemies surrounded his men on all sides. Eisenhower worried that [=MacArthur=] would not relinquish his power once the Civil War was over, and it appears his fears were well founded. Despite this, Omar Bradley and Dwight Eisenhower have restored democracy to America, though neither man fully trusts the government, and have kept some of their power in a bid to prevent future crises from emerging. Eisenhower is a war hero, and the American people love him; adults write adoring letters to him, and those who know him best challenge him to a game of bridge every so often. Children sing "I like Ike" on playgrounds and even the elderly have good things to say about him. For Eisenhower though, his work has only just begun.[[/labelnote]] |

| 993 | Born in Dummerston, Vermont, on August 20th, 1892 - George David Aiken developed a strong interest in agriculture early, a passion that he would carry on in his career as governor of Vermont. A Republican, he ran unsuccessfully for the Vermont House of Representatives in 1922, but he ran successfully in 1930 and 1932. He ascended to the position of Lieutenant Governor in 1934 and became governor in 1936, just as the nation descended into chaos. As governor of Vermont during the civil war, Aiken helped organize work projects to alleviate the economic stress caused by years of the great depression. A proponent of spending projects for rural America, Aiken holds great affection for the natural beauty of his home state, although these views put him at odds with old-guard Republicans. With his background in agriculture, he portrayed himself as the defender of farmers and the common folk - with this stance and popularity, he accepted the Republican nomination for the campaign of 1948.\ |
| 994 | Now the 35th President of the United States, Aiken faces a nation finally shaking off the dust after years of economic woe and instability. Serving alongside Aiken is Robert Bradford, the Republican Lt. Governor of Boston, and a man from a long-time traditional New England family. During his time as governor, Bradford emphasized fiscal conservatism but social liberal values as seen in his project such as housing and care for civil war veterans.[[/labelnote]] |

Now, as party officials attempt to put the pieces back together, there are increasing tensions over the party platform. Those more socially liberal-minded members of the party have split from the main party and are now calling themselves the Republican Party, though others have come to term them the "Liberal Republican Party". William Averall Harriman is the party standardbearer for the time being, but others have emerged in hopes of challenging him in the long term. Herbert H. Lehman, John Gilbert Winant, and powerful politician Thomas Dewey all hope to gain a spot at the head of the party, but time will tell to see which of these men will earn it. In the meantime, the party's espousal of education, a program of Social Security, and anti-corruption has made them popular with New Englanders, but with a split party, they may encounter difficulties in winning an election outright.[[/note]] |

| 1005 | Born in New York City on November 15, 1891 - Averell Harriman, born as "William" Harriman, was raised in a life of wealth as his father was the railroad baron E.H. Harriman. During his academic career at Groton School and Yale University, Harriman made contacts that led to the large firm "Brown Brothers Harriman & Co." During the 1930s, Harriman's properties grew to include the Union Pacific Railroad, the Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation, and the Polaroid Corporation. His immense wealth painted Harriman as an enemy in the eyes of the Syndicalists during the years leading up to the civil war. During the ensuing chaos, Harriman fled north for the Provisional Government of New England, where he joined the Committee of Canadian-American Relations and helped coordinate the joint war effort between New England and Canada. Through this position, Harriman gained the experience necessary to become the American ambassador to Canada - helping aid in the close relations between the two nations.\ |
| 1006 | Receiving the nomination of the Party and following his victory in the election, Harriman has become the new President of the United States of America. The new President has a lot of work cut out for him as the full signs of recovery are beginning to show, and the years of reconstruction are finally coming to an end. Serving alongside Harriman will be the former governor of New York state, Herbert H. Lehman. A supporter of the Second Square Deal during the provisional government era, Lehman has publicly stated his support for the guaranteed rights and wages of the working class.[[/labelnote]] |

With a strong working class, Catholic and immigrant voter base they semi-openly promote using the patronage system for the public good and often argue it allows a way for the common man to have more direct ties with political leaders through their local machines. Recently they have taken the most moderate stance towards foreign policy with regards to other parties, seemingly wanting to unite America if the opportunity arises but otherwise wanting to stay out of the war, and only maintaining relations with the Entente if it's useful.

This has caused the de-facto aristocratic structure of New Englander High Society to be formalized into a New Englander Monarchy, nominally overseen by Baron Kennedy of Boston, and helped by numerous elite families such as the Astors, Vanderbuilts, Bushes and Rockefellers. With these new noble families now in control of America, they have established an elite elective monarchy based off of the structure of the Holy Roman Empire.

Pickett has brought the Religious Society of Friends (AKA ‘Quakers’) to the forefront of New Englander politics by offering unconditional support to immigrants and refugees alike, while working to change the church from a religious institution into an outspoken political party dedicated to international neutrality, pacifism, and Christian charity. Citing the progressive precedent set by the Roosevelt-administration and the teachings of Jesus Christ, Pickett has begun drafting a set of crucial amendments for New England’s Constitution. Deemed the “Appeal to Heaven,” the Quaker platform aims to transform New England into a welfare state that can open its arms to the downtrodden across the shattered American continent.[[/note]] |

However, his influential steps did not end there; Pickett became known as an advocate for Christian pacifism, as he counseled his fellow faithful on their purpose in life during the Weltkrieg.

| 1078 | As America spiralled into war, many turned to Alcohol to escape their troubles. The War, the destruction and all the world can be forgotten about by simply taking a sip of various fermented plants. That is the plan. However, in reality people abuse the Devil’s nectar, and use it to commit horrible acts in their drunken rage. As well the productivity of all people decrease as the worker partakes in suds instead of doing their job. So, as Drunkenness ravages New England and the rest of the United States an unexpected force has risen from the dead. Due to the nationwide failure of prohibition, most sane people assumed that the Prohibition Party was dead in the ground; however, is has made a stunning comeback as New England is ravaged by drunkenness. The party now mainly bases itself in New England and is lead by David Leigh Colvin. Colvin believes that all New Englanders must be moral, compassionate, and caring for every man. The party’s main platform is to illegalize the sale and production of Alcohol, as well as prohibiting Pornography, instilling Christian Values into the nation, and helping the American Refugees fleeing from the Civil War. The party’s sudden re-birth has surprised many within New England, but can the party truly return from the dead?[[/note]] |

| 1122 | Born on the East Side of New York City on February 23, 1889 - John Gilbert Winant came from a prosperous family and attended Princeton University, although his marks were relatively poor. After a brief stint in the army, Winant entered state politics by elected to the New Hampshire Senate. Following a successful career in the Senate, Winant ascended to Governor of New Hampshire under the Republican Party from 1925-1927 and then from 1931-1935. He achieved state-wide fame for his handling of the decades-long economic depression that had beset America. Active in the Square Deal policies that helped end the depression in New England, Winant has easily been chosen among his party to lead New England onwards in its most challenging days. Following his governorship, Winant ascended to the powerful position of being the American ambassador to Canada where he played a hand in the many interactions between the Provisional Government and the Canadian nation. The 33rd President of the United States faces a broken nation but is eager to reunite and take its place once more as the hegemon of the New World.\ |

He was then raised by the family housekeeper, a former US District Attorney, before attending Boston College and becoming a salesman in athletic goods.

The success of his political run convinced him of greater political aspirations, and he ran successfully for governor in the 1936 election. As the nation descended into chaos, the Irish-American governor sought to resolve tensions between Yankee Protestants and Irish-American Catholics. In the wake of the destructive 1938 New England Hurricane, Hurley oversaw the relief and rebuilding efforts for the city of Boston.\ |

| 1183 | Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 22, 1901 - Maurice Joseph Tobin's Catholic and Irish heritage has led him to become deeply popular among Boston's Irish population. He briefly worked at Conway Leather and New England Telephone after graduating from Boston University until he entered politics as a protege of the esteemed Democrat James Curley. At just the young age of 25, Tobin was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, which he served from 1925-1929. A fiscally conservative man, Tobin then became mayor of Boston serving the city without authorising large public scale projects. His career as mayor was rocked by the Coconut Grove fire, but the scandal did not stop the ambitious Tobin from running for President. An energetic and vigorous member of the Democratic Party, Tobin became elected as the 34th President, securing for the Democrats four more years in the White House. The nation waits to see what the new President will do, especially those involved in labour as Tobin has been a constant supporter of labour unions and socially liberal policies.\ |
| 1184 | Serving alongside Tobin is James Farley, an Irish-Catholic New Yorker and member of the Knights of Malta. A fierce fighter for civil rights, especially for African-Americans, Farley has announced he will supervise the rebuilding of the nation's postal service and significantly improve its airmail capabilities. The two men have vowed to reunite and rebuild America once and for all under the leadership of the Democratic Party.[[/labelnote]] |

Despite this he still managed to become a Presidential candidate and potentially become President. |

| 1276 | A Republican in a strongly Democratic Massachusetts, Bradford's combination of fiscal conservatism and social liberalism helped make the case for his term as Governor in 1938.

| 1294 | Born in Rye, New York on August 31, 1893 - Raymond Earl Baldwin's home state became Connecticut after moving there at a young age and spending his college years at Yale. Baldwin participated in the Stratford Town Court as a prosecutor, eventually advancing to judge of the town court in 1931. As the country fell apart, the governor of Connecticut, Baldwin, was among those who petitioned the Canadian government to intervene due to the civil war. To ensure the safety of the people of New England, Baldwin supervised a complex array of civil defences and statewide services on the homefront which grew his popularity within the Republican Party. He certainly has his work cut out for him as the nation reels from the horror of the great war - only time will tell whether or not Baldwin's hand will lead to prosperity and peace in the future.\ |

| 1305 | While some pundits are saying the name 'Rockefeller' alone catapulted Nelson to the presidency, Rockefeller's ascendancy to the highest office in the land was no given. Ivy League-educated, and initially working mainly in the business world, the radicalism among other Republican candidates encouraged Nelson to run for the presidency as a check on his more extreme counterparts. Using his family network to seize control of the nomination, Rockefeller's progressive approaches to health-care, welfare, and the economy may be the key to helping unite a divided country.[[/labelnote]] |

| 1327 | Born into an Irish Catholic family in Boston, which placed the Kennedy's just out of reach of the political elite. Joseph Kennedy was guided into Harvard to achieve as high a prominence as possible from his birth. Family troubles like the lobotomy of his eldest daughter was pushed aside in favour of dynasty building and business growth. Kennedy owned the largest whiskey importation company in America, and reinvested profits into businesses that sadly fell in the Great Depression. The Crisis of 36 and the reorganisation of New England allowed Kennedy to rally the Democratic voters to his side, becoming the first Catholic Head of State in American history.[[/labelnote]] |

From academia, Cross competed for the position of governorship for the state of Connecticut of which he won successfully. With the outbreak of the civil war, Cross finds himself in a precarious position following the Canadian occupation of New England. One of the many Americans who petitioned the Canadian government to intervene, Cross's openness to embrace the Entente's arrival into America has led some to suspect that he is no more than a mere puppet of the former British Empire.

An officer aboard the battleship USS Massachusetts during a blockade of Santiago de Cuba, Hart was commended for his courage commanding a steam cutter in Cabanas bay searching for landing sites. Despite extensive fire from shore batteries, Hart was successful in his mission and took no losses despite repeated hits. His proficient ship handling would get him placed in the USS Vixen, where he would make lifelong friends with the then Lt. Alexander Sharp Jr and Ensign Arthur MacArthur III (the late elder brother of Douglas MacArthur).\ |
| 1360 | After a stint about a sloop, Hart would teach ordinance and gunnery at Annapolis. His connections at the institute included marrying the daughter of the then Superintendent Rear Admiral Brown. He would also qualify to command submarines, becoming a Chief of Staff to the Commander of the Atlantic Fleet's Submarine Force. Although the United States thankfully sat out the Weltkrieg, Hart was determined to study German uboats during his tenure. After serving as the Superintendent of the US Naval Academy from 1931-1934, Hart was posted to the General Board of the US Navy. The start of the civil war has seen Hart join the New England government along with other members of the Atlantic fleet in hopes of preserving democracy. With the civil war underway, Hart continues to lobby for the creation of a modern US submarine fleet, which he believes will best allow for New England to disrupt foreign shipments of aid.[[/labelnote]] |

Bridges then entered the Senate, earning a name as a ruthless anti-Syndicalist, not above using blackmail, treachery, and deceit to achieve his goals. In one of the most infamous incidents of the early 1930s, launched a major slander campaign in an attempt to label a leading SPA Senator as a 'rampant and notorious homosexual' and a 'traitor to the moral values of our nation'. This sensationalist attack earned him the enmity of Haywood and the SPA, but enamored him with those opposed to Syndicalism.

However, when he moved to the United States to be a newspaper editor, he faced discrimination as an anarchist. Seeing the successful revolution in Britain and believing in the possibility of a similar uprising in the states, Abbott aligned himself with other prominent syndicalist thinkers in the Red Belt and elsewhere. However, due to his ties in New England, Abbott decided to stay in the region to attempt to hold an uprising and bring New England into the fold of the Combined Syndicates.

Following ideas ranging from Bellamyism to Populism to Socialism, the party is also notably more environmentalist than its Red Belt counterparts, largely thanks to the influence of Norman Wallace Lermond.

From 1880, he became involved in farmers organizations, the Populist Party, and even founded the Socialist Party of Maine in the 1890's. Though his later attempts to start a utopian socialist colony in Washington state were unsuccessful, Lermond came back to New England and built the socialist movement in the region, though it was never directly tied to syndicalism. Instead, Lermond is influenced by Bellamyist ideals, and hopes to bring these ideals to bear in New England. With such a diverse array of influences, Lermond will surely make for a unique leader, but if he wants to keep New England alive, he will have to choose his allies carefully...[[/labelnote]] |

| 1457 | America collapsing into Civil War twice, as well as influence from Canada has caused a surge in support for Monarchism in New England. This has caused the de-facto aristocratic structure of New Englander High Society to be formalized into a New Englander Monarchy nominally overseen by Baron Kennedy of Boston, and helped by numerous elite families such as the Astors, Vanderbuilts, Bushes and Rockefellers.[[/note]], United Empire Loyalists (Governor-General) |

| 1488 | The remnant is named for a loose grouping of activists whom self-identify as old-school radicals, with their intellectual leader being Albert Jay Nock. Often openly skeptical of democracy, the Remnant is nonetheless opposed to state intervention in individual lives except to protect base rights through the justice system. Supported by extremely prominent intellectuals such as H.L. Mencken, the Remnant's middle and upper class supporters have grown in reaction to the perceived failures of the government and their role in destabilizing America, opposing Canadian influence in New England and as a reaction against the growth of populism and socialism, with them having a small volunteer militia to protect their rights from its perceived various enemies. Nonetheless, the Remnant itself is still deeply divided on whether democracy should play in the Republic or if voters supporting interventionism and control is simply too dangerous to liberty.[[/note]], Democratic-Republican Party |

| 1497 | The more extreme wing of the Radical Coalition, the Sentinels of the Republic began as a lobbying group fighting virtually all forms of government intervention in the economy in opposition to socialism before going through a series of internal radicalizations in the face of increasingly popular redistribution movements and attacks on the upper-class, influenced by the Remnant and New England's right-wing before adopting Alfred Sloan's arguments for the efficiency of unrestrained capitalism. In recent years the powerful [=DuPont=] family has taken charge of the organization, allowing greater Social Darwinist influences and using 'Tuckerist' arguments against not only socialists but even Remnant positions and the state itself which they view as too constraining, something old-school Tuckerists have decidedly mixed feelings about when seeing their positions merged with other Sentinel ones.[[/note]], Whig Party |

| 1500 | Irénée du Pont, descended from the influential du Pont Family was primed for being an influential figure in the region of New England, yet the type of influence he would exert never became clear until America fell apart at the seems. From 1919 to 1925 he was the president of the Du Pont chemical company, he resigned his position after eight workers were poisoned, something to which he responded with "Only slight difficulties have been encountered". Du Pont eventually joined with the “Sentinels of the Republic”, a group that started as a lobbying form against government intervention and socialism yet transformed into a militant group influenced by Alfred Sloan’s ideas of unrestrained capitalism. When the Federalists gained control of New England, the Sentinels and the Remnants acted against the government, eventually storming congress and forming a new government, one headed by Du Pont. Now, Du Pont and his far-right allies’ rule New England superficially and with the help of their aligned militias, while the rest of the nation truly breathes free without a government to breathe down their necks.[[/labelnote]] |

| 1502 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Du Pont is the classical Anarcho-Capitalist and social Darwinist who removes all regulations and allows corporations to ruthlessly exploit New England, all in the name of protecting their wealth. In an event, when [=DuPont=] workers go on strike following a string of deaths they blame on unsafe working conditions, the Sentinels have the choice to crack down or simply fire them, accusing them of attempting to extort a business they could leave following the end of their contract or if they were strong enough to resist it. |
| 1503 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Many Sentinels, especially du Pont and Alexander Lincoln, are raging anti-Semites, associating Jews with socialist subversion, racial inferiority and hostility to Anglo-Saxons. |
| 1504 | * PrivatelyOwnedSociety: The Sentinels will dissolve the court system, public defence, public police, taxes, all economic regulations and the State itself, turning New England into an Anarcho-Capitalist society where 'man will finally be able to act out his will under true liberty'. |
| 1505 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: The Sentinels view the state military system as a failure and replace it with private contractors. While this will shrink the military, it still leave the most qualified for fighting, and after corresponding tax cuts the Sentinels will keep employing many military men as it can afford, choosing quality over quantity. |
| 1506 | * TheSocialDarwinist: The Sentinels are social Darwinists who believe that might makes right and man has a right to lands that can't defend themselves and don't sign a contract with them. |

| 1513 | The Nordic League of author and eugenicist Lothrop Stoddard is influenced by Charles Darwin, Francis Galton, Professor W. Z. Ripley, and more, and the party advocates a society under a meritocratic Neo-Aristocracy made up of superior men and women. Furthermore, Stoddard advocates for class mobility for the chosen race so that this aristocratic ethno-mertitocracy would be possible, but the degenerate and mediocre elements of society must have a different future. According to Stoddard, purification of society can only be achieved through segregation and sterilization of these 'destructive' groups. Stoddard further envisions the complete destruction of the violent Syndicalist ideology. He has termed supporters of leftist ideology as "Undermen" and warns that they seek to revolt against the natural fabric of society itself. As such, nothing short of complete annihilation of these groups will be enough to save civilization.[[/note]] |

| 1518 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Stoddard seeks to create a purified society ruled by superior men and women, while degenerate and mediocre elements of society (including syndicalists) must be segregated and sterilised.

While all differ in specific visions for New England, with some wanting direct rule from Ottawa and others wanting New England to retain tremendous autonomy, their uniting issue of British protection and overall oversight of New England unites them. Taking the name of the Loyalists that fled to Canada after the American Revolution they frame their return not as a conquest but a return of the true Government. Their view on the American Revolution is quite plain, that it was a tremendous mistake that demands correction. While domestically they may not be all that popular now, they don’t mind because as long as the Mother Country supports them they are fine.[[/note]] |

| 1726 | Prince Albert of Windsor, has been appointed Governor-General of New England. Though regarded as an extremely nervous child, Albert grew into an active and modest man. While New Englanders appreciate Albert's virtue, the expectation among many in its government was that the post of Governor-General would be temporary, and that governance would restored to the discretion of the American people. Regardless of the disappointment of some, however, Albert is well liked. With the country still reeling from the outbreak of war in America, Albert toils diligently to ensure that New England is properly governed.[[/labelnote]] |

| 1728 | Born in December of 1895, the young Prince Albert was not expected to be a king. Growing up in Britain, he was always in the shadow of his brother, Prince Edward. Albert I was always known as a timid and reserved man, until near the outbreak of the Weltkrieg, when he attended an academy in 1909 and became a sailor in 1913. Despite constant seasickness, he served in the Battle of Jutland aboard the HMS Collingwood, and later served as a squadron leader until being injured in November of 1918, remaining in Britain for the rest of the war.\ |
| 1729 | After the war, Albert continued to live in Britain until the revolution, fleeing to Canada. The Prince was relatively irrelevant up until Canada's occupation of New England, when he was appointed as the nation's new Governor General, and eventual King upon the creation of the Kingdom of New England. Although the king suffers from constant sickness, he is seen as a beacon of hope, as King Albert ensures that New England is governed fairly, even if some within the occupation authority support much harsher means to deal with the Yankee threat. For better or for worse, Albert I will help New England lead the charge into the Home Isles, and god willing, the rest of the King's most precious Dominion which has been tragically and unjustly lost: America.[[/labelnote]] |

| 1773 | During the Weltkrieg, untold thousands rushed to the relative safety, stability, and opportunity of America. As the war languished on, immigrants flooded New England, quickly and unexpectedly changing the face of the northeast. With these diverse, new interests came new problems: particularly, nativist resentment. These problems were only compounded by the economic recession that set in after the Kaiserreich began to isolate the United States of America. This discontent was championed by one of New England’s most famous personalities: the celebrity author, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Lovecraft’s meteoric rise to fame in recent years is based on his tales of weird and diabolical fiction, seen by both fans and critics as giving voice to the xenophobia, economic insecurity, and reactionary instincts of New Englanders. Initially the darling of Boston Brahmins and New England’s Anglo-Saxon majority, Lovecraft’s work spread like wildfire across the country, turning him into an overnight sensation. The Shadow Over Innsmouth, one of Lovecraft's most famous novellas, deals obliquely with the threats of state conspiracy and invasion, as well as miscegenation and its monstrous consequences. Some of his most ardent followers swear that prophetic, astrological portents can be understood through comprehensive study of his work. To many, Lovecraft may just be another insane writer with less than moderate views, to others he is a prophet that can guide New England to safety. But whatever Lovecraft may be, he is still a shy, reclusive writer, unlikely to take any drastic action. The only ones in New England that wish to see him in power are the extreme Anglophiles. They view Lovecraft as a tool to ensure complete loyalty to Canada. For now, Lovecraft and his small circle of writers stick to Providence and continue on with their lives, only accompanied by small groups of fans and loyalists.[[/note]] Providence Society[[note]]\ |

Though many of his old extremist supporters decry that he has been body-snatched by the Yithians, using Lovecraft’s own ‘The Shadow Out of Time’ as evidence of this ludicrous possibility, this truly is Lovecraft, and this truly is his new and ingenious way to save Mankind. Now backed by the surviving Progressive and Leftist elements within the nation along with his unwavering and ever-growing mass of fanatic supporters and those from the old Providence Society loyal enough or moderate enough to stand with him, Lovecraft now leads as a modern day anti-Marxist Socialist prophet from beyond the stars, guiding the way for all of Humanity to survive the eldritch horrors that await us across the cosmos and beyond.[[/note]] (Lovecraft takes influence from Socialists), Providence Society[[note]]\ |

| 1778 | H.P. Lovecraft, born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1890, is perhaps one of the most mysterious and controversial figures of the 20th century. His father dying when he was 8, his mother dying of the Spanish Flu in late 1918, and Lovecraft suffering from a plethora of health issues his entire life have led Lovecraft into a search for truth and deep meaning, which he channeled into his writings. Tales of darkness and horror within resonated strongly with an America reeling from the 1925 market crash. Lovecraft's science fiction gained him a serious audience for his thoughts on politics and philosophy. He rapidly gained an almost cult-like status in his home state of Rhode Island and drew many followers, preaching a dark and otherworldly message about supernatural powers and eldritch beings that are incomprehensible to the human mind. As president of the New England Literary Society, Lovecraft standardized the use of the English language in print, removing what he called 'Americanisms'. When he traveled to England in 1924 to study the English language and attempt to purify it as much as possible, he witnessed the 1925 uprising and grew an acute hatred of Syndicalism. He returned to America in 1930, founded his own newspaper and ran unsuccessfully for governor of Rhode Island. He remained a prominent thought leader and a powerful influence on the minds of New Englanders, although his opponents accuse Lovecraft of being a dangerous man with authoritarian and occultist inclinations.[[/labelnote]] |

| 1808 | Once just a small boy from Wisconsin, August William Derleth has risen to become one of the most powerful men in America. Born in 1909, Derleth grew up in Sauk City, writing his first fictional literature at age 13 after being inspired by our beloved Lovecraft, as well as the likes of Poe, Whitman, Dumas, Thoreau, and many others. Initially, his works were unpopular and rejected, but after ‘40 stories and three years’ of practice, Derleth found his niche writing for Weird Tales magazine. Later entering university to get a literary degree, Derleth graduated in 1930, and amid the backdrop of rising factionalism tensions across his home state, Derleth and his lifelong friend Mark Schorer left for New England to study at the Ivy League schools to further their literary careers. The pair rented out an old rustic cabin in rural Rhode Island while studying at Brown, and it is there that he first met Providence. Becoming fast friends, Derleth was brought in to aid Lovecraft in his literary journey and ideological metamorphosis, founding Arkham House publishing together to spread Lovecraft’s message to the world - a dream cut short with Lovecraft’s passing. \ |
| 1809 | Now, succeeding Providence - our Howard Philips Lovecraft - as the new King in Yellow, August Derleth stands as the most dominant and powerful figure in the nation. Taking on a title that was never meant to be formal or regal in any way, this second King in Yellow postures himself as the ‘true heir’ to Lovecraft's so-called eldritch ‘dynasty’ as he seeks to accentuate Lovecraftism’s more cosmic undertones while profiting off of H.L.P’s image and using said image to serve as the foundation for his new ‘moral’ and expanded interpretation of Lovecraft’s ideology.[[/labelnote]] |

| 1811 | * AllohistoricalAllusion: In real life, Derleth was responsible for publishing many of Lovecraft's works after his death and trying to reform the Franchise/CthulhuMythos (in a rather controversial way) to fit with his Catholic faith. Here, with Lovecraft already being one of the most popular English-language authors by the time of his death, Derleth instead starts a massive initiative to translate his works into as many languages as possible, and also tries to impose a mild sense of Christian morality onto Lovecraft's America. |

| 1820 | A young veteran of the fiction scene and a dominant face in the pulp literary movement alongside his old friend Lovecraft, Frank Belknap Long has risen as the new herald of Lovecraftism. Born in 1901, Long was born in Harlem and became deeply interested in fictional literature while in grade school. Drawing inspiration from not only Lovecraft, but Jules Verne, Bierce, H.G Wells, and Poe as well, Long began writing before reaching high school. Long’s friendship with Lovecraft is longer than most relationships Lovecraft held, for after Long released his story ‘The Eye Above the Mantel’ in 1921, his writings caught the eye of Lovecraft, sparking a decades-old friendship that would see hundreds of correspondence letters exchanged the two as well as frequent trips to visit one another between their respective hubs in Providence and Manhattan. It was around this time that Long was also receiving higher education at NYU and then at Columbia University, until a severe bout of appendicitis nearly killed him, granting him a new view on life. He dropped out of school and began his own freelance sci-fi and pulp fiction writing career which would serve him well over the next few decades, and with Lovecraft supporting him along the way, Long rose to become one of New England’s most prominent fiction authors while also growing closer to our national father and his new political movement - a closeness that secured his position as Lovecraft’s successor. \ |
| 1821 | Refusing to take any of our beloved national father’s epithets or monikers - whether it be ‘Providence’ or the ‘King in Yellow’ or any other title - for such a brazen act of self-righteousness would only spit on the memory of the beloved Howard Philips Lovecraft, Long has instead taken the simple title of ‘Master.’ A move that both represents his authority and his reverence for our late founder while also providing a legitimized facade to our strange nation for all the world to witness, and hopefully acknowledge, Master Long has now set himself up as the logical and most orthodox successor to Lovecraft’s initial vision.[[/labelnote]] |
| 1822 | ---- |
| 1823 | * JustTheFirstCitizen: Long takes the simple title of Master, for calling himself by any of the late Lovecraft's titles would only spit on his memory. |

| 1834 | An Episcopal minister, the former Archdeacon of the U.S Virgin Islands, a fantastical horror and sword-and-sorcery writer, and now the ‘Eldritch Apostle’ of the nation, Henry St. Clair Whitehead has lived a varied life, and now stands as Lovecraft’s true disciple and successor. Born in 1882 in New Jersey, Whitehead lived a relatively normal childhood in a Christian household, then attended Harvard, where he began his writing career as an editor for a Democratic newspaper, and graduated in 1904. After working as commissioner for the Amateur Athletic Union, Whitehead attended Berkeley Divinity School in Connecticut, being ordained in 1912 as an Episcopal deacon. He then served as a clergyman and rector at two different Connecticut churches before becoming a children’s pastor in NYC. All along this religious journey, Whitehead honed his skills at writing, and finally wound up in St. Croix - the largest of the U.S Virgin Islands - serving as the Archdeacon of the territory. Taking in island myth and occultist traditions, Whitehead fused these ideas into his writing, creating a terrifying literary fusion that captivated his readers - and more importantly, caught the eye of Providence. They continued their correspondence all during Whitehead's tenure as Archdeacon, with Lovecraft even helping many of Whitehead’s works get published in popular pulp magazines like Weird Tales. Returning to the mainland in 1930, Whitehead traveled to New England to escape rising tensions across the nation, and fell in with Lovecraft’s growing circle of influence. Nearly dying of a long-term gastric issue in 1932, Whitehead was able to survive thanks to support from Lovecraft and the best medical care New England - and Lovecraft’s coffer’s - could offer. This generosity sealed his undying loyalty to Lovecraft, with Whitehead beginning to conflate his piety in God and his reverence for his old friend and savior, lifting Lovecraft up as an almost divine figure. \ |
| 1835 | Now, with Providence passing into Elysia, Whitehead has risen as the Eldritch Apostle, seeking to fuse his Christian faith and his faith in Lovecraft into one syncretic idea. Believing Providence to be a physical manifestation of the Lord’s will, or perhaps a new messiah or god, Whitehead is poised to build a new faith for the nation while keeping his occultist influences and interest in Christian Science to heart - a faith that reveres our late King in Yellow as the God Whitehead truly believes He is.[[/labelnote]] |
| 1836 | ---- |
| 1837 | * CultOfPersonality: Whitehead establishes Lovecraft as one of the central figures of his church along with Jesus Christ and God. |
| 1838 | * InterfaithSmoothie: Creating a syncretic faith combining Christianity, occultist practices, mysticism, and Lovecraftian ideology, Eldritch Apostle Whitehead (a former Episcopal minister) seeks to use this new faith to unify America while promoting Providence's divine word. |

| 1929 | From an early day, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois would fight for equality, fight against intolerance, and go to any means for his beliefs. He grew up in a small integrated community in Massachusetts and attended university and eventually became professor. Du Bois was once of the founders of the NAACP, and one of the leaders of the Niagara Group, a group that opposed Booker Washington's Atlanta Compromise. However, this would be just a page in his lifelong fight for equality, as throughout he fought against Lynching, Jim Crow laws and other discriminatory practices. He used his prominence as an author to spread his message to the wider world, with many regarding his work as cornerstones in the fight for Civil Rights all across America. Yet as the nation fell apart, the civil rights dilemma fell on deaf ears to the establishment. And with the outbreak of the Civil War, it became clear that equality would not be come by peacefully. As the Black Belt uprising took hold over the South, Du Bois took hold over the new state, and will now call upon his countrymen to fight for equality, justice, and their lives.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2014 | The Jamaican-born Marcus Garvey is one of the most fervent black nationalists around. The founder of UNIA has some reservations about the Black Belt Republic. But, seeing our willingness to pursue closer ties with Liberia, he has returned to claim the mantle of leadership for our young nation. A separatist at heart, Garvey hopes to create a Pan-African state. Even if he does accomplish this, he still hopes to retain the lands we have fought so hard for. He certainly will not give up the country to socialists, who he loathes more than almost anyone else. His ideology, fittingly termed "Garveyism", has caught on in the Black Belt Republic. Many of our citizens hope to migrate to Africa eventually, but this is a long term goal, and for now, there is still the issue of other American factions to contend with.[[/labelnote]] |

While living in Detroit, he attended rallies for various Black Nationalist organizations, including one with Wallace Fard Muhammad. He taught that African Americans could reclaim their culture and history through self determination, something that a young Elijah Muhammad agreed with considering his own struggles in the South. He became an ardent follower of Fard and his ideology. Eventually Fard turned leadership of the Detroit Chapter over to Muhammad, and had the organization renamed to the "Nation of Islam". When Fard disappeared, Elijah Muhammad was quick to take leadership of the [=NoI=]. As America collapsed and the Black Revolt began, Muhammad declared to his followers to rise up alongside them.

| 2088 | Born in 1892, Wentworth Aruthur Matthew claims to hail from Lagos, Nigeria. However, records indicate that he was in-fact born in the West Indies on the Island of St. Kitts - a fact he hides from most to uphold his greater ‘African’ image. As a young man, he and later his family moved to New York City where he eventually became a naturalized US citizen along with his wife Florence. Influenced by the teachings of Marcus Garvey and by the faith of New York City’s massive White Jewish population, Matthew would found the Commandment Keepers in 1919 in his new home of Harlem, starting his journey to bring honor and prosperity to the Black Hebrew Israelites. Thanking the White ‘Khazar’ Jews for safeguarding the faith for centuries, Rabbi Matthew claims that though Black Jews are the true Jews, that other Jews also deserve respect and protection to reward them for their unwavering piety. Attracted to ideas about the Lost Tribes, King Solomon, and the Beta Israelites of Ethiopia, Rabbi Matthew has combined Jewish faith with Africa and Ethiopian influences, claiming that the Black Hebrews are heirs to the Solomonic Dynasty of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and to the original Kingdom of Israel. Though other groups far more radical than the Commandment Keepers have tied themselves to Matthew’s movement, he himself is a moderate, and seeks to work together with our fellow Jews regardless of race or history. Together, we shall build a new Land of Milk and Honey.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2220 | Even to his supporters, Reverend M.J. Divine comes off as a strange man, a man who claimed to be God Himself. Yet, despite all of his various eccentricities his Peace Party is now in charge of the Black Belt Republic, where he seeks to unite the nation under tolerance and peace. Little is known about his early life, with people only being able to guess at his date and location of birth, as well as his birth name. Throughout his life he was sentenced to prison many times, committed to mental asylums, and declared as a madman, though most of these arrests were on baseless claims. Yet he and his followers persevered, following Father Divine and his unique church around America, even as the nation collapsed. His charisma and style of preaching turning his congregation from a disorganized and small group of Black patrons to a massive interracial congregation. And along with James F. Jones, he founded the Peace Party, the party that eventually took over the Black Belt Republic. Now he will lead his countrymen to the future, no matter what it may bring.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2233 | Known to his closest allies, parishioners, family, and friends as ‘Daddy King,’ Michael King Sr. is one of the most widely respected men in the nation. Born in Stockbridge, Georgia in 1899, King was compelled to join the clergy at a young age after being inspired by local ministers all around him who stood up and protested for racial equality. Becoming close with Reverend A.D Williams at his local Ebenezer Baptist Church, the young King trained to be a pastor, dropping out of High School to attend Dillard University and shadowing Reverend Williams for years - and all the while King courted his new mentor’s daughter. Wanting to become an honest man and to do right by his mentor, his future wife, and God, King returned to high school to finish his formal education and then dove into his calling as a preacher, working all across Atlanta. By 1926, King was working on his ministerial degree at the Morehouse School of Religion, and on Thanksgiving Day of that year, he and his long-term sweetheart Alberta Christine Williams were married. Soon the couple would have three children in just four years, with Willie, Michael Jr., and Alfred being a great source of pride and joy for the honored pastor. In 1931, King’s mentor Reverend Williams passed away, and King rose to take his place as the leader of the Ebenezer Baptist Church amid a backdrop of rising tensions across America. Over the next few years he would visit Lutheran sites in Germany, join the NAACP as one of its leading figures, and would become acquainted with Father Divine and James Jones - of whom he would eventually ally and befriend. Now, leading the Peace Party after Father Divine was quietly urged to retire over his worsening mental state, Michael King Sr. hopes to guide our newly freed people away from the horrors of racism and opportunistic capitalism, and instead towards the all-loving and forgiving embrace of the Lord. With the Peace Party now behind him, many wonder if Daddy King will be the man to bring racial peace to America.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2248 | Musical pioneer and funkadelic mixmaster, Herman Poole Blount has risen from humble beginnings as a musician and artist to become the very face of the Afro-Revivalist movement. The herald of Afrofuturism, the guide of our African-inspired renaissance, and the architect of our new cosmic future was born on May 22, 1914, in Birmingham, Alabama, and this ‘Sun Ra’ - as he likes to be called - has since become the facade of a radical coalition of varied Black nationalists seeking to control the destiny and identity of our republic. Blount, or ‘Sonny’ as his mother and sister used to call him, was born a musical prodigy, becoming a skilled pianist as a toddler and learning to compose and sight-read music before becoming a teenager, but most of his life’s details are kept intentionally-obscure by the man himself. First getting his start in professional music after joining his high school biology teacher’s band, Sun Ra would take off as a harmonious genius, briefly entering college before dropping out after his mysterious ‘Trip to Saturn.’\ |
| 2249 | In this ‘Trip,’ Blount claimed to have spiritually traveled to the distant planet of Saturn where he communed with strange beings that told him to drop out of college in order to use his musical talent and philosophy to bring peace to Earth, for a great disaster was on the horizon. It would not be long before the young Blount was proven right, for just a few months later, the Second American Civil War would begin, throwing the entire nation into chaos. |
| 2250 | As the conflict exploded into bloodshed and the later BBR rose, Blount found himself drifting closer and closer to the radical end of New-Afrikan politics, and would find allies within the ABB, NOI, UNIA, and the Unity League. With the rise of the ‘Americanist’ forces in the nation and their crackdown on Afro-nationalism, Blount was uplifted to be the face of a new radical coalition of his varied friendly parties, all with one goal in common - to bring about a new African renaissance by toppling the Americanist regime. Utilized due to his immense popularity and due to his stance as the key figure of the Afro-revivalist movement, Blount is mostly a puppet to the powers behind him - a cultural pharaoh without a throne, but that may soon change..[[/labelnote]] |

| 2252 | Solidifying the cult of personality around himself as well as the foundations of our new Afro-Cosmic identity, the man once called Herman Poole Blount is no more. Now, Le Sony’r Ra has begun to rise past the power and control of his political allies, and has revealed to the wider public of his ‘Trip to Saturn.’ Professing to the people that he is their savior from another world, Ra seeks to use his solidified alliances and political partners to bring about a new cultural revolution for his people. Fusing ideas and policies from across the political, artistic, and philosophical spectrums, Ra will bring a new cosmic golden age to this New Afrika, and though many in the nation still doubt his otherworldly origins, they have begun to believe he truly has the best interests for all mankind at heart. With newfound power and with his handlers waning in influence, Sun Ra has slowly begun to truly rule the nation himself, and by preaching peace and cooperation between our people above any petty struggle or ambition, he moves more and more of the masses to follow in his wake as he guides the nation to its new syncretic, celestial, Afro-centric future.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2254 | Severing the puppet strings that once bound his mortal form, Cosmic Pharaoh Le Sony’r Ra - or just Sun Ra as the devoted masses praise him as - now lords over the Cosmic Realm of Aaru as its sole shepherd and all-powerful savior. Ra has shed the need for political allies as the masses praise their new divine leader’s name, supporting his mandate to rule with feverish adulation. This new saturnine field of reeds shall be the promised land of our reborn celestial race. This peace-preaching alien from Saturn has ensnared the hearts and minds of our people with his music, his poetry, his vision, and now the Aaruites prosper under this otherworldly deity. Bonded together by a new identity and culture that pulls from our Egyptian and West African roots, our origins from beyond the heavens, and our Afrofuturist destiny, the African diaspora shall be united and brought to our promised land out among the stars. We are the children of Saturn, the heirs to the Pharaohs, the heralds of the new African future, and the star children of destiny - all thanks to the all beloved and all eternal Sun Ra![[/labelnote]] |

| 2256 | * GodEmperor: While the coalition of radicals behind him may be using him as a political tool, Sun Ra has earned genuine love and adoration he from the masses, evolving into a cult of personality that eclipses the image and influence of the government at times. The Cult of Sun Ra is thus institutionalised as a state philosophy--while religious freedom is still protected, many have already taken to Sun Ra as either their new god or a new embodiment of whatever god they already followed, though this fanaticism is rare. |
| 2257 | * RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: In real life, Sun Ra was a musician and had no political career to speak of. Here, he can become leader of a coalition that seeks to create a new Pan-African identity in New Afrika. |

Although technically a Republican, his personal war with the Alaskan Syndicate’s cruelly capitalistic business methods caused him to seek heavy Federal assistance for Alaska. Ultimately at the end of his terms, his pushes against the Syndicate were not assisted by the rest of the Legislation, and the situation had only gotten worse in time. Angered by the Legislations refusal to crack down on the Barons, Wickersham wants for Alaska a land where the people’s work cannot be tarnished by greedy businessmen and capitalists, but his left leaning supporters yearn for a more red set of ideals.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2457 | While hardly a student of Socialist Thought, Rex Ellingwood Beach has nonetheless come to lead the Popular Communal Frontier Republic of Alaska in these trying times. Beach originally studied to be a lawyer, however he never finished a law program; instead becoming afflicted with gold fever after reading of the vast gold discoveries in the far north, and headed for Alaska in 1897 to seek his fortune. However, found little gold; Instead discovering wealth of a different kind: a mine of stories and colorful characters and situations that he developed into best selling popular literature. The stories Beach told were often stories of exploitation; stories of rich men who sought to plunder Alaska's resources, and ordinary hard-working citizens forced to confront the forces of nature and corruption. In the story of Beach's life once Alaska broke free, one common villain had emerged; the Alaskan Syndicate: a greedy group of industrialists who sought to pillage all Alaska had to offer. However this story also had one key protagonist: one James Wickersham, who's revolution uprooted the corrupt Barons and transformed Alaska into a paradise for the working man, a socialist haven (more or less). And now with Wickersham gone and Beach firmly in command of the Alaskan state, he seeks to continue the work of Alaska's Great Guide Wickersham, and will continue to uplift the men and women of the vast Alaskan frontier.[[/labelnote]] |

Sensing opportunity in the Last Frontier as the United States collapsed into war, Towner and the AIF fled north to further their goals. Meeting other fleeing natives from across the Lower 48, the AIF grew to encompass naties from coast to coast, influencing Towner’s Pan-Indigenous ideas further. Now at the apex of their political evolution, the AIF seeks to create a strong nationalist and militaristic state under Chief Towner, with a large emphasis being placed on native traditions from across the tribes, the supremacy of the Red Race, and on the military tradition of the First Peoples. Under the AIF, Berignia will meld ideas new and old to create a truly free state for the Red Man![[/note]] |

| 2604 | Born in the late 1890's on the Siletz Reservation in Oregon, Elwood Towner has lived quite the interesting life. Stolen away from his people by the White Man and forced to attend the Chemawa Indian School, Towner developed a hate for his oppressors early on. Later serving in the United States Marine Corp and seeing action in Mexico and other minor American theatres of war, Towner came home a changed man. He would attend law school, focusing his study on native advocacy and would only take indigenous clients, eventually suing the boarding school that stole him from his people and forcing its closure. With this, Towner tasted victory over the White Man and he liked its flavor. He would further radicalize, being inspired by other ethnically-focused thinkers in Japan and the American South, and began forming his own ideas on how the Red Man should live moving forward. Now, with the rapid destabilization of the United States and the looming threat of civil war, Towner has seen all he needs to see to understand who the White Man truly is: savages, dogs, mongrels, or worse. With these facts clear, Towner has marched to Alaska to set his plan in motion. Under Towner, the Red Man's days under the White boot are numbered.[[/labelnote]] |
| 2605 | ---- |
| 2606 | * ConLang: Towner constructs the Beringian language from mixing various Amerindian languages ranging from Tlingit to Huron, as a new lingua franca for the disparate peoples of North America. |
| 2607 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The real Towner was a nasty Nazi collaborator with an anti-semitic streak who collaborated with the decidedly white supremacist Silver Legion in order to attack the FDR government. He cannot do this in a timeline without Nazism; the worst he can do instead is to create an anti-white, albeit ultimately nationalist and anti-colonialist indigenous government. |
| 2608 | * KnightTemplar: Towner seeks to ensure the survival of Native Americans, build a strong nation where all of them can call home, free from their white oppressors, and lead them into a bright future. However, he believes that the Red Man can only be free by spilling the blood of the White Man. |
| 2609 | * MandatoryMotherhood: Towner addresses Beringia's underpopulation issue by incentivising large native families with financial compensation and outlawing birth control for all mothers-to-be. |
| 2610 | * MasterRace: {{Downplayed|Trope}}: Towner believes that Native Americans are the greatest race, and it's the Red Man's Burden to civilise white-skinned savages, who can't even stop slaughtering each other over petty differences and childish squabbles. However, he is not racist towards non-whites: native Siberians are seen as honorary Reds, and Japan is considered a natural ally to secure Beringia's independence from the White dogs. |
| 2611 | * MeaningfulRename: Towner renames Alaska to Beringia, a new nation that shall serve as a beacon for all those of Red blood scattered across this shattered world. |
| 2612 | * MonumentalDamage: When Beringia conquers New England, Towner encourages his people to vandalise and destroy statues and monuments of European explorers and the Founding Fathers of the United States. |
| 2613 | * OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: Towner seeks to cast off the yoke of the White Man and create a nation for indigenous Americans, free from white influence and persecution. |
| 2614 | * PersecutionFlip: As Beringia takes over Canada and America, the racial hierarchy immediately flips upside-down, as Native Americans become free citizens while whites are sent to reservations. The oppressors of yesterday will become the herded sheep of tomorrow. |
| 2615 | * PleaseSelectNewCityName: Canadian and American cities conquered by Beringia whose names are of European origin receive new names from North America's indigenous languages. |

| 2621 | A ragtag group of influential militants, prominent indigenous marxists, and Towner critics, the Young Warriors is an eclectic party led by Chief Thomas ‘New Moon" Dixon with a velvet fist. His way offers an egalitarian, totalist utopia to all those of pure Red stock while offering nothing but a cold blade or searing lead to any White Devil foolish enough to stand in his way. Though ferocious and overzealous, the Young Warriors only seek to be the wings that carry the Red Race to its true and deserved destiny, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their great task.[[/note]] |

| 2624 | A shadowy figure originally from the American Southeast, Thomas ‘New Moon’ Dixon is a mysterious figure even by Beringian standards. Of partial Cherokee blood, Dixon has worked with Elwood Towner for years in their efforts to reduce the plight of their fellow Red Man after serving together in the fires of the Weltkrieg. Radicalizing over time away from Towner following the creation of Beringia due to his interest in Totalist views and esoteric mythologies, Dixon’s ideas evolved away from Towner’s Native nationalism and towards a more ethnically-based Totalist wave, drawing influence heavily from Mzee Obama of the Mau-Mau. New Moon only seeks one thing: the total expulsion or subjugation of all White Devils in the New World so that the Red Man may finally have peace, and he will usher in this new age as the ‘Red Moon’ of the Red Race.[[/labelnote]] |
| 2625 | ---- |
| 2626 | * CommieNazis: Dixon writes his own Native American Totalist Charter, combining leftist economics with Native American ultranationalism and revanchism. He turns Beringia into an egalitarian, totalist utopia to all those of pure Red stock, while White Devils are given a lead bullet. |
| 2627 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: Dixon is one of Towner's chief confidants, and agrees on the expulsion and punishment of the White Man and the upliftment of the Red Race, but prefers the red light of Totalism over Towner's nationalist furor. |
| 2628 | * HumanResources: Dixon's government uses the corpses of white people to bolster the fertility of the Alaskan soil. In one event, an indigenous boy is terrified as he discovers a severed, desiccated human arm sticking from the soil of his family's homestead. |
| 2629 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In order to avenge the atrocities of the past, Dixon has his men pour into cities and remove every last trace of the whites' vile civilisation, so that they'll wish Columbus never stepped foot on the Great Turtle Island so long ago. |
| 2630 | * StateSec: Chief Dixon formalises the position of his prized militia units and paramilitaries as official arms of the state, allowing them to dole out the Red Man's justice as they see fit. |

| 2658 | Jay Lovestone was born as Jacob Liebstein in Belarus. His father moved to America, and became attached to Socialist ideas, eventually joining the fledgling American Communist Party. As Communism became overshadowed by Syndicalism, Lovestone refused to adapt, keeping true to his Communist ideas even has Communism collapsed. This gained him many enemies within the new Socialist Party of America, who he refused to support. As America broke out into Civil War, Lovestone begrudgingly supported the Combined Syndicates, however, was exiled once it was found out that he was feeding information about the government to [=MacArthur=]. With nowhere else to flee; Lovestone took a ship to the last place that would take him in, Alaska. Now in Alaska, Lovestone has rallied other exiled to his side, and helped for the new Neo-socialist ideas that were made famous in Alaska. Now in charge of Alaska, Lovestone will set out to reform the Last Frontier with new socialistic ideals.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2758 | Fiorello La Guardia, the Italian mayor of New York whose heart is only equalled by his desire to fight for the people of his city, faces his toughest challenge yet. If it wasn't enough that the country was in ruins, now his city faces internal division and chaos. Brother fights brother, and the city he loves most teeters on the edge. Surprisingly though, La Guardia seems unphased. Just as he confronted Tammany Hall early in his administration, the 'Little Flower' now confronts the destructive forces of extremism and uncomprimising politics in New York City. La Guardia has rounded up the sane residents of the city (however many of those are left) and declared that if the national government is unwilling or unable to solve the problems facing the city, he will do so himself. He had high hopes for George Norris, a close ally of his, but now La Guardia is alone. However, his crusading spirit and anger towards those who would wrong the common man has done him a great service, lending him the credibility to become the most powerful force in the city, at least for now. Even still, the 99th Mayor of New York City has his work cut out for him if he wishes to see his vision of a more just government enacted in the city, and he will have to face both radicals, reactionaries, and opportunists to get the job done.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2761 | * TakingUpTheMantle: Influenced by his late friend UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt, La Guardia can instate the New Deal for New York, which involves relief for the unemployed, the poor and those whose lives have been destroyed by the war, recovery of the economy to pre-collapse levels and beyond, and reforms of the financial system to prevent such a disaster from happening again. |

| 2769 | Fred Trump has made a name for himself in recent years as a businessman with the drive and ambition to build a fortune in personal wealth. In the housing industry, he has shown a prenchant for ruthlessness as well as a certain shrewdness that has won him many admirers. With this newfound support, Trump now looks to save his city. After all, a stable city is a productive city, and stability is good for business. To achieve this though, the city will need to slowly rebuild from the ashes, and Fred Trump has a plan to make this a reality. It is essential that the city's outdated housing and tax policies be overhauled, but it is equally essential in Trump's eyes that Catholic influence in the NYPD should be removed. In the mayor's eyes, they are a significant force holding back the native Protestant Americans from bringing the city towards the greatness it should enjoy today. Beyond these small goals lies the wider vision of privatization in the city, with businesses flooding in as much as immigrants used to. Though he is celebrated for his abilities in the business world, it remains to be seen whether he can transfer this success to the political realm. One way or another though, one of Trump's most famous quotes is that if you do anything, it should be something you love, and Trump certainly loves to see profitable outcomes...[[/labelnote]] |

| 2771 | * HistoricalInJoke: In New York's mayoral election, Trump titles his campaign 'Make New York Great Again', and if he runs for the United Duchies of America's second monarch election, the option to elect Trump says 'Trump shall make America great again'. Both are obvious reference to the campaign slogan used by his son [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Donald]]'s 2016 Presidential campaign. As mayor of New York City, he can also build a great wall along the borders of the city, separating the conflict between the Federalists and the Syndicalists from the glittering lights and stable streets of New York. |
| 2772 | * PrivatelyOwnedSociety: In his plan to transform NYC into an inviting hotspot for global trade, Trump slashes taxes for most industries and citizens, and privatises all major economic sectors. |
| 2773 | * WarForFunAndProfit: Trump sees the second American Civil War as a new opportunity for New York City to profit while others squander and bicker like fools. |

| 2781 | Orson Welles, one of the greatest actors alive today, has now turned his considerable energy towards the political sphere. Though Welles espouses policies some would identify more closely with syndicalism than either of the two major parties, Welles does have strong disagreements with the more radical components of the city. Given his unique position, Welles has portrayed himself as someone who can bring together the disparate factions of the city and this is reflected in his supporters, who come from various identities but all support his vision for reform. Welles hopes to fight the abuses of the NYPD and Tammany Hall while simultaneously giving power back to the people of the city. In this endeavor, it would not be the power of chaos that he would be granting; it would be the power for the people to speak their minds as they see fit in a world in which Welles sees only a few who are allowed to speak. Of course, as an actor, Welles knows a thing or two about speech.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2791 | The face of a united coalition of radicals and moderates, Mayor Steinbeck has unified a group of varied Leftists that have rallied behind his broad Socialist banner after taking a vow to pursue peaceful reformation within a democratic system as opposed to the bloody revolutionary activity consuming the former USA. Born in California in 1902, Steinbeck came under the tutelage of marine biologist and philosopher Ed Ricketts after graduating college. Together, they toured America and even Indochina to explore the plight of the common man as well as revolutionary activity. After returning to America, he traveled to NYC and began writing his breakout literary works as chaos began to consume the nation in the years leading up to the Second American Civil War during the Great Depression and later Black Monday. Though a strong politician, Steinbeck is best known for his recent literary work 'In Dubious Battle' in which he writes about a strike that was both helped and hindered by an unnamed party that has generally been interpreted to be Jack Reed and Bill Haywood's Syndicalist Party. This novel largely encapsulates Steinbeck's approach to New York City politics; despite a feeling of abandonment in the form of the Syndicalist Party's abandonment of figures like Steinbeck, he is still determined to fight for the righteous causes in the city. Steinbeck has won the position of mayor of New York fair and square, mostly off of the support of the city's leftists, but he must now carefully position his city in the national struggle. Though he has clearly distanced himself from Chicago in some regards, he would be foolish to burn all his bridges on that front, and internationally, the Internationale is more than willing to provide support. So, with his ragtag group of supporters, Steinbeck plans to do what he does best as an artist. He will stand up to the stones of condemnation and speak for those who were never given a voice in Tammany Hall or the city as a whole before.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2843 | Few names carry more weight in modern American politics than Roosevelt, even with the fractured state of the former Union, for the Roosevelts have served America and her people proudly for generations. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. is just one member of this esteemed family, and yet he has sought out on his own in order to blaze his own path. Born in August 1914, FDR Jr. was birthed into a world aflame, but lived a sheltered life in New York despite being born while his parents were vacationing in Canada. Upon the untimely death of his father when FDR Jr. and his siblings were only children, he and his brothers were taken in by close family friends in England shortly after their successful revolution, while his sister was left in the care of their mother Eleanor. Living abroad with his new adoptive family the Mosleys in London, the young FDR Jr. grew up with his brothers in a rapidly evolving revolutionary environment. All of them took to the regimented life of the early Revolution well, and were quickly swept up in the Red Wave. However, it was FDR Jr. that grew closest to their new caretaker Oswald Mosely, becoming deeply invested in the Maximist cause. With the rise of an independent New York City, FDR Jr. rallied his brothers to his new cause - to bring Mosley’s Maximism form-fit for Americans to the Big Apple. Though still a young man, this firebrand is fierce, cunning, and dedicated to the cause, now leading his brothers and other like-minded Totalists and Communists in New York City on a blazing path towards an egalitarian and totalitarian Maximist utopia.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2846 | * ThePurge: Roosevelt Jr. purges quite a few organizations in NYC. Seeing NYPD as a force of the bourgeoisie, he has them purged immediately and replaced with his own NPRG to enforce his law, he destroys Tammany Hall completely as they are nothing but plutocratic fat cats that portray themselves as Aristocrats, and he also purges most of the crimelords seeing them as no better than capitalistic criminals, although he does spare Luciano and his criminals seeing them as useful tools for sympathetic idealism to propagate Maximist propaganda. |

| 2855 | Officially the Society of St. Tammany, the Sons of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order, what is commonly called Tammany Hall is a Democratic Party-aligned political machine dominated by the Irish and [=WASPs=] of New York. First founded in 1789, Tammany Hall controls Democratic votes and wields tremendous amounts of influence in the City and beyond - particularly among Irish and Anglo citizens. Under the infamous ‘Boss Tweed,’ its corruption became public and since then it has only gotten more and more reviled, with rumors of their mob ties and other unscrupulous activities abound. The society once held a dominant stranglehold on New York democracy, winning most mayoral elections over the span of decades. However, after a few devastating investigations and the collapse of Arnold Rothstein’s crime empire that supported them under the table, Tammany Hall fell from prominence. The final blow was delivered after Fiorello La Guardia won the election for Mayor in 1933. Since then Tammany Hall has been on the backfoot - that is, until now. Seizing control of the Big Apple during the chaos following our hastey declaration of independence, Tammany Hall is still hated by millions, but there is little anyone can do about it. Ready to once again dominate NYC with their fellow Irish Catholic allies and attack dogs in the NYPD, Tammany Hall and its shadowy cabal of bosses and politicians are ready to restore the Big Apple’s reputation as a wealthy, elite, and conservative metropolis as they rot it to the core with their corruptive influence.[[/labelnote]] |

However, his experience and his connection to the people of New York is undeniable, for this flamboyant and charismatic Liberal Democrat has a silver tongue to match his silver spoon. Born to the elite Irish Walker family in 1881, Walker has lived the easy life, graduating from a good school despite self-proclaimed stories that his childhood was marred by poverty.

Born in 1884, Molloy was a New Hampshire native before coming to New York after finishing his college studies in Theology abroad in Rome. Dedicated to the Catholic Church but still friendly to his Protestant allies, Molloy was raised as the unity candidate of the CF due to his knowledge and proximity with the clergy, his wide-reaching network of Christian allies both within the City and abroad, and for his widely shared ideas of Anti-Socialism and Anti-Semitism - both hallmarks of Christian Front doctrine.

| 2936 | One of the most prominent and outspoken Italian-Americans in the Big Apple, Generoso Pope has risen to lead the Christian Front in a move that has shocked many. Though behind closed doors Pope isn’t the most pious or dedicated man of God, when in public with his CF allies, he is the picture-perfect example of a pious Italian-American Catholic. Born in 1891 in Taly and moving to America as a boy, Pope has risen to be a business magnate, influential public figure, advocate for Italian-American rights, and the biggest proponent of Italian-brand Legionarism in the City. Chiefly inspired by the likes of D’Annunzio and Italo Balbo, Pope seeks to use the CF as a vehicle to bring a nationalist system to New York modeled on the Italian ANI. With an ever-growing legion of loyal New York Catholics at his back, perhaps he will be able to make this dream a reality as this ‘Duce of Little Italy’ consolidates power and the rest of the Big Apple in his hands.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2955 | Serving as Police Chief and Chief Commissioner of the NYPD since his appointment by La Guardia in 1934, Lewis Joseph Valentine is dedicated to protecting and serving the people of this fine city with his Boys in Blue. Born in 1882, Valentine joined up with the Force in 1903 at just 21 years old. Since then, he has risen to the very top of the Department’s hierarchy thanks to his crusade against corruption, graft, and organized crime. Though he faces many tough enemies like those in Tammany Hall and the American Mafia, there are few, if any, men more capable to clean up the Big Apple than Chief Valentine.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2957 | * PoliceState: Valentine, the New York City Police Commissioner, can turn the city into a very literal police state ruled by the NYPD. An ever-growing web of informants, snitches, moles, undercover agents, tip hotlines and wiretap networks make New York City a surveillance state the likes of which the world has never seen. No secret hideout or meeting place shall be safe from the ever-vigilant NYPD. |

| 2965 | Rising to the plate after the retirement of his mentor and friend Chief Valentine, Arthur William Wallander, Sr. is the new Police Chief and Chief Commissioner of the NYPD. Born in 1892 in NYC to Swedish immigrants, Wallander joined the NYPD right out of high school. Dedicated to the same anti-corruption principles as his mentor and predecessors as well as a friend of La Guardia, Wallander is expected to largely follow the status quo set up by Valentine. However, some have whispered that Chief Wallander is already in the pocket of outside forces, though if this is true remains to be seen.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2993 | Born Salvatore Lucania in Sicily in 1897 before immigrating to the United States through Ellis Island with his family as a boy, Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano has since risen to become the most dominant crime lord in New York’s long history of organized crime. Seeking to make money for his family and his people who were discriminated against in the Big Apple, Luciano would travel across America taking advantage of certain states passing prohibition laws in order to bootleg, eventually falling in with Al Capone’s Chicago Outfit. After being betrayed by Capone’s ceaseless ambition and madness, Luciano would flee back to his adopted home of NYC, rising to the top after defeating Salvatore Maranzano in the wake of the Castellammarese Crime War with the help of his Five Points Gang. Later, he would go on to establish the Commission with long-time associate and friend Meyer Lansky. Together, the two would end the war between the Five Families and other lesser gangs throughout NYC as he moved to make the American Mafia a respected and feared organization more profitable than any criminal empire ever before, all while stopping senseless violence and rivalries between the gangs and while taking care of each and every innocent soul in our metropolis. Though he may favor Italian Catholics and his Jewish allies, and though he holds conservative views while being one of the most successful criminals in American history, Lucky Luciano is dedicated to running his National Crime Syndicate with respect while following tradition and mobster moral codes and ethics, all while making more money than God.[[/labelnote]] |

| 2995 | * HonorAmongThieves: Luciano is a big believer in this, he's very willing to run his syndicate while making sure that all of the mobster traditions and ethics are followed before anything else. He's largely sick of infighting between gangs and seeks to end divisions between each of the intergenerational criminal families and to bring unity for the gangs. And of course to keep money flowing. |
| 2996 | * TotalitarianGangsterism: If Luciano succeeds Capone, he'll turn the country even more criminalistic than it was before. Still keeping the facade of people's control with "Mobster Populism" which essentially is a massive welfare state funded by criminal activities while keeping the crime families loyal to him and his new criminal empire. |

| 3004 | Widely known as the Mob’s Accountant due to his legendary bookkeeping skills and aptitude for turning a dime and making a profit anywhere, Meyer Lansky - born Meier Suchowlanski in the old Russian Empire in 1902 - has stepped up to unify the warring organized crime groups within New York City. Moving to New York as a child with his Polish-Jew family, Meyer Lansky fell in with future members of the Jewish Mob such as his close friend Bugsy Siegel who he would go on to form the Bugs and Meyer Mob and eventually Murder, Inc. With a reputation as the brain behind one of the most violent criminal gangs in American history, Lansky may seem like a bloodthirsty tyrant, but in fact he is one of the most level headed and calculating members within the Commission. With his longtime ally and friend Lucky Luciano, along with Bugsy Siegel and the rest of the Commission’s member organizations, Lansky seeks to legitimize the American Mafia into a national crime syndicate in order to reach new heights of security and profits while uniting the warring factions for the good of all New Yorkers.[[/labelnote]] |

| 3014 | A fan of gambling and entertainment like none other, Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel’ and his gang of thugs and killers for hire Murder, Inc. have seized control of the Commission and the Big Apple in order to eliminate all competition so that all profits and benefits of both New York and our international criminal network go directly into their pockets. Born in Brooklyn to poor Ashkenazi Jews in 1906, Bugsy Siegel is the only one of the three dominant bosses of the Commission to be born in America. Entering the criminal world while just a preteen, Siegel has been immersed in violence and bloodshed since before his 13th birthday, and has long held deep ties to the Jewish and Italian criminal outfits that dominated NYC as a killer for hire and gambling expert. Forming first the Bugs and Meyer Mob with childhood friend Meyer Lansky before eventually transforming it into Murder, Incorporated before joining Luciano’s Commission, Siegel now stands as the most powerful man in NYC. With a dream of building a gambling and racketeering empire that spreads across all of America and beyond, Bugsy Siegel is as fierce and determined as he is cutthroat and calculating, so woe be to any foolish enough to stand in his way.[[/labelnote]] |

Settling in Harlem before getting involved in his life of crime, Holstein was one of the main masterminds behind the widespread usage and increased profitability of numbers rackets - simple numerically-based games designed to scam quick and easy cash. Rising alongside his rival Stephanie St. Clair, the two came to battle for dominance in Harlem before temporarily setting aside their differences in order to claim the Big Apple for themselves.

| 3098 | Hailed as the ‘Black Socrates’ of New York, Hubert Harrison is the foremost figure of Black Socialism in the Big Apple. Born in 1883 in St. Croix in what is now the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hubert Harrison was born to freed slaves and lived a life of poverty alongside his lifelong friend and fellow Socialist D. Hamilton Jackson. Together, the two went through school together while enriching themselves with the knowledge of Socialist theory and African culture. At age 17 in 1900, Harrison would leave his island home and travel to another group of islands - the metropolis of New York City. Here, he moved in with his older sister who had come to America earlier, but was immediately hit with the realities of racially oppressive Jim Crow America. Horrified by rampant lynchings and race crimes rising in frequency across the nation, Harrison fully dove into his work of social and civil activism while working a string of low-paying, labor-intesive jobs and attending night school. Always gifted with a genius-level intellect, school came easy to Harrison despite these challenges, and after graduating he has continued to be an astute autodidact in multiple fields ranging from history and sociology to philosophy and theory. After marrying his wife Irene in 1909 and working in the City for a decade, Harrison began sending letters to the New York Times and other papers about topics he felt needed addressing such as civil rights or Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, Harrison became further disgruntled with the world, furthering his dive into Socialism modeled on W.E.B. Du Bois, as well as into the freethought movement, agnostic atheism, Georgism, and the blooming Harlem Renaisance where he would help start the New Negro Movement. Continuing to work tirelessly for decades, Harrison would go on a political odyssey like none other; first supporting then renouncing the Garvey Movement for its hateful rhetoric, finding allies in groups like the AFL and NAACP, and even making new enemies such as the Black nationalist radical Ira Kemp or the ‘White pet’ Booker T. Washington. Through it all, even facing a brush with death during appendicitis surgery that nearly killed him, Hubert Harrison has not given up the fight to bring honor and respect to his distinct peoples while also fighting for equality and Socialism for all - a perseverance that has made him one of the most popular faces around. With the City that Never Sleeps now in his hands, it is up to the ingenious, humanistic, freethinking Socrates of Harlem to save New York City.[[/labelnote]] |

Joining a local elevator operators’ union and later graduating from high school, Crosswaith won a scholarship from a Socialist newspaper - the Jewish Daily Forward - which would land him at the prestigious Rand School of Social Science where he would study and be further embedded into the local Socialist movement through the SPA. After graduating, Crosswaith rose alongside other major New York-based Socialists such as A. Philip Randolph and Hubert Harrison while developing his own form of non-discriminatory De Leonist-inspired Socialism, rising to lead multiple different unions and even running a close but ultimately failed race for Secretary of State of New York before forming his own Negro Labor Committee in 1935. Now, with the radical Leftist forces of NYC rallied behind him, this raceblind De Leonist, nicknamed by his allies as ‘the Negro Debs’ after his contemporary Eugene V.

| 3221 | Wilbert Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel, described by some as the “most Texan man alive”, is not one by birth. It was, in fact, only his work with the Burrus Mill Flour Company that brought him to the state, and that made him a household name. Responsible for the Company’s radio advertising, O’Daniel hired multiple musicians to help him market the business. What resulted was the smashing hit Light Crust Doughboys band behind such classics as Beautiful Texas. Before long he had his own radio show that captivated Texan listeners with his Christian and political messages. Within a divided America, O’Daniel became beloved as a charismatic symbol of wholesome Texan values. This motivated O’Daniel’s entry into politics, where he flirted with the America First Party until the rise of the Texan Independence movement, where he broke with Long and backed his rival, Governor Allred for leaving the Union. With Texas free, O’Daniel used his charisma, radio, and fame to defeat Allred in the bid for the Presidency. Now that O’Daniel calls the shots, he seeks to transform Texas into a haven of prosperity, hospitality, and Christian values, free from the horrors of civil war or division.[[/labelnote]] |

| 3258 | Nobody expected Torkild Rieber to end up in the plains of Texas. He was after all born in Norway, thousands of miles away from our shores. However, through his career making a living as a sailor, Rieber found himself in Texas. He eventually found himself managing a Texaco cargo ship, and eventually, his competence would see him rise to lead the entire company. Upon gaining Texaco's highest position, Rieber’s underlying motives began to reveal themselves. An outspoken admirer of radical right-wing leaders such as Codreanu, Reiber was a prominent donor to William H. Murray's presidential bid, and is alleged to have funded Latin American dictators as well. While the United States became embroiled into civil war, Reiber was moving behind the scenes and playing what strings he could to secure control over the young Texan nation, while working to aid the cause of the Constitutional American Republic. Now that he is firmly in control of Texas, little stands in the way of the oilman’s crusade against syndicalism, and threats to his monopoly. Rieber is Texaco, and Texaco is Texas.[[/labelnote]] |

| 3274 | Born to a conservative, middle class family in Oklahoma and named for Woodrow Wilson, a figure he now despises, Woody Guthrie has had an eventful life shaping him into the beloved revolutionary leader of Texas. His father was a Klansman, his mother was ravaged by Huntington’s Disease that drove her insane, his sister accidentally burned herself to death, and Woody was begging for meals and depending on friends for shelter. Though bright, he dropped out of high school to become a street performer. Guthrie was blessed with a natural talent for music, and became an instant smash hit in Texas, which became his adopted home state. But Guthrie aspired to be more than just a folk singer; he was to be a crusader against the injustice of the greedy America of old. His songs, especially “This Land is Your Land”, have launched him to become one of the loudest voices for socialism in the United States. Guthrie was torn by the Texas Independence movement, but ultimately decided to side with the young Texan nation when it seceded from the Union, in the hopes of being able to help shape it into a truly fair and free frontier. His populist calls for “cowboy socialism” and “frontier revolution” struck a chord with the young people of Texas, who, already loving him for his music, came to love him that much more for his working class charm and youthful spirit. Before he knew it, the young revolutionaries of Texas had carried the Red Cowboy into the highest office in the frontier at age 25. Now, young Woody fills the massive boots of leading Texas into the future, but he vows that his Texas will be for you and me.[[/labelnote]] |

| 3294 | Bob Minor, known as 'Fighting Bob' was an old socialist cartoonist. Though his family once rubbed shoulders with Texan high society, they had lost their silver spoon by the time of Minor’s birth. Living in San Antonio, he only received education from age 10-14 before seeking work to support his family. While working in a series of jobs, Bob began to develop his artistic skills in his spare time with what spare time he had, and eventually became a renowned political cartoonist. It was through these cartoons that he expressed his developing radical views, especially his fondness for revolutionary industrial unionism. His life would be forever changed in 1907, when Minor joined the Socialist Party of America. Given the weakness of the party in the state of Texas, Minor did not take part in the sort of major riots or strikes that occurred in the Red Belt. Instead, Minor went abroad, covering the Mexican Revolution and making a trip to Paris where he fraternized with revolutionary intellectuals, further radicalizing his views. Upon returning home, he was horrified by the persecutions of leftists by the Wilson and Palmer administrations, and from then on dedicated his life's work to preserving grassroots socialism in Texas, and appealing to the revolutionary states for aid to the SPA. When the Civil War erupted, Minor, instead of taking refuge in Chicago, elected to remain in his native home of Texas, regardless of the danger. His refusal to leave spread his fame around the state, and Minor was soon helping to found the Socialist Party of Texas, in determined to bring the revolution to the state. Now in power, only the future will tell if he can complete the transformation of Texas into a red paradise.[[/labelnote]] |

Instead a President should be an actual representative for the Congress and for the people to represent them accordingly. |

| 3329 | * EmergencyAuthority: Goldwater, leader of the Arizonan provisional government, can refuse to return power to the state legislature as he's supposed to, instead indefinitely extending the state of emergency and turning himself into a dictator to ensure that never again will Mexican boots stomp over Arizona's freedom. |

| 3331 | * ThePurge: Goldwater's first act as a dictator is to have the National Guard arrest Robert Taylor Jones and several members of the state legislature, claiming that they were plotting to assassinate him. |

| 3350 | * BreakingTheGlassCeiling: Tenayuca is Mexican-American, Magon and Dorame are Mexicans, and Palomares is of Mayo-Native descent. If any of them become leader of Arizona, then they'll become the first Mexican/Native American President of America. |
| 3351 | * ChummyCommies: The Arizonan socialists revolt against the ultra-right libertarian rule of Goldwater and seek to build a truly equal anarcho-communist paradise that promotes civil rights and direct democracy, while accommodating the Navajo people's rights to water and mineral in their homeland. |
| 3352 | * PublicExecution: After the revolution, Goldwater, Jones, Wheeler and the rest of the old leadership are executed by public drawing and quartering. |
| 3353 | * StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter: The Arizonan socialists have four candidates for leadership who all share the same focus tree. |

| 3355 | * YoungAndInCharge: Tenayuca, being born in 1916, is only 20 years old when at the start of the game in 1936. |

| 3391 | * RevolvingDoorRevolution: The Navajo Nation can only appear under a very specific circumstance: Mexico must first conquer the American Southwest and treat the local Anglos badly, causing them to revolt, ''then'' Barry Goldwater must proceed to deny the Navajo their demands over their mineral and water rights to incite them into rebellion. |
| 3392 | * ThirdPartyPeacekeeper: Subverted. The initial purpose of the inspired Navajo Business Council was this for the Navajo and the American Government, but after the Americans showed that they only used it just to get the Navajo on their good side to mine the minerals in their land, the Navajo closed the deal. |

Hoping to tear down the House of Madockawando, the clique seeks to rebuild the Dawnland in the eye of the Lord Jesus Christ and God above, creating a new shining city upon the hill for all of mankind to look to for inspiration and guidance.

| 3441 | Alastair Arthur Windsor was born in 1914 into the Royal House of Windsor as a lesser member of the British Royal Family, destined to become the 2nd Duke of Connaught and Strathhearn upon the death of his aging grandfather. The young Duke-to-be was raised in London before being ferried to the New World during the fires of the British Revolution while he was still too young to grasp the gravity of the chaos that had transpired around him. Growing up with the Exiles in Canada, Alastair's life grew more miserable and dark as the post-Weltkrieg era dragged on. With the rise of Elwood Towner and the destruction of the Canadian government of days now long passed, Alastair found himself kidnapped in one of the Red Man’s raids. Recognizing their prize, the indigenous administration decided to keep the young noble under house-arrest, hoping to find a use for him one day fitting of his station. With the creation of the White Man Reservations, Chief Towner found the perfect place for Alastair: as the face of the Anglophone administration in the Huron peninsula. A prisoner to the Red Man in all but name, the disgraced noble now serves as a figurehead and unifying figure of the Anglos of the Beringia, stripped of his birthright and royal titles, epitomizing the White Man’s humiliation at the hands of the Red Man.[[/labelnote]] |
| 3442 | ---- |
| 3443 | * ForeignRulingClass: Alastair is a British noble who with the help of the British exiles, can be turned into the King of New England. Alastair is told to sound Irish , seeing as New England is filled with Americans, some British and very little Irish. Although him being selected as King can help him gain the support of the Irish population and remain popular within their community. |
| 3444 | * PuppetKing: Being captured by Towner forced him into house arrest. Seeing on how Alastair being a nobleman can be useful to him, Towner set up Alastair as leader of the White Man Reservations, being the figurehead of a authority-less administration, stripped of his titles disgrace him completely. |
| 3445 | * TakeAThirdOption: Alastair is the most unorthodox of the candidates for a Canadian New England Monarch, being a British man who panders to the Irish by adopting an Irish accent would make him the most odd choice to rule New England. |

| 3453 | A long and distant descendant of the famous Sir Cotton Mather, Sir Alonzo C. Mather could not be further in station to his ancestor if he tried. While Sir Cotton Mather lived in the 17th and 18th centuries as a puritan minister and author, championing both science and piety, his ancestor Alonzo has spent his life as a businessman, dealing in the railroad industry working with freight cars. Born in 1848, the now haggard and elderly Sir Alonzo C. Mather has found himself as the head of the new White Man Reservation centered around the old city of Boston, now known by its indignous name of Chickatawbut, primarily being chosen for the role given his stature as a successful businessman in the region and his hereditary ties to the great Purtian Cotton Mathers. Merely a puppet ruler under Elwood Towner to quell the White Man’s pleas for self-determination, Sir Alonzo Mather spends most of his time retired to his study. In his few mandated interactions with the public, Sir Mather has even been forced to masquerade as a Puritan zealot like his ancestors in a desperate attempt from Towner and the AIF to pander to the few remaining New Englanders willing to listen to the Red Man and their policies. Aside from that, the decrepit old ghost leaves the day-to-day administration of the United Colonies to his underlings while he slips further into the ignorant bliss of old age.[[/labelnote]] |
| 3454 | ---- |
| 3455 | * PuppetKing: Mather is merely a figurehead for Towner to quell the whites in their reservations. Being forced to pretend he's a Puritan zealot just to hark back to the old beginning colonial days of America, he doesn't seem to care too much as the decrepit old man is near death anyway and would rather be ignorant of him and his people's persecution. |
