History:

Born on July fourth in 1776, the 13 colonies rebelled against British rule, declaring themselves an independent nation, declaring themselves to be the United States of America. After a war with their former British colonial masters, the 13 original colonies gained their independence on march 3rd 1780. The British were forced into releasing their former colonies and recognizing them as an independent nation. colonies reorganized themselves into the states that would make up the union. During the war for independence, the six states of West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and Georgia formed their own nation, the Allied States of America. The United States soon started making allies across the world, it's first major ally was the French Republic. Emperor Bonaparte signs a treaty with the fledgling nation, agreeing to supply them with ships and weapons if the US. Soon American ships begin heading out to other nations to establish trading routes and secure the new nations more allies. Soon the world accepted the United States and began trading withy the fledgling nation, helping it grow and soon enabling it to stand in it's own two feet.

Government: The head of state of the United States is a democratically elected President. The President of the United States serves no more than two 5 year terms in office. Like the POTUS in our timeline, the President of the US in this timeline is Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces.

Politics: There are two main political parties in the United Stares, the Republicans and the Democrats. There is a third party, the M.D.A.. The MDA, or to give the party it’s full name: Manifest Destiny Alliance, does not get much attention from the two main political parties due to it's extreme right-wing views. There are multiple smaller political parties but the more prominent of the smaller parties are the Libertarians, Freedom Party and the Solidarity Movement. These smaller parties get little if any attention from the major political players, allowing them to form coalitions during Presidential elections, which can be a source of annoyance to the big political movers and shakers. Early in it's history, the United States abolished slavery and granted women the right to vote. All Negroes within the United States were granted freedom, a move which was seen as progressive by some and a threat to the union by others.

Economy: With many vital ports along it’s coast, the United States economy was built on importing goods from Europe and Asia, which is still the main source of income for the United States. While the US economy may not be as strong as other North American Nations, it is stronger than the Allied States of America, whose economy was slave based until 1880.
