Before The Sun Sets

The attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941 left the United States fearful of a Japanese Invasion. With a quick response to war, the U.S. rebuilt it's ships and sailed out to sea to defend it's country and to gain vengeance. However, despite American patriotism and support, the Japanese were repeatedly winning battles in the Pacific. There was no quick turning point here. Instead, the U.S. lost an important battle at Midway before having it's fleet practically destroyed. The Japanese took advantage of the situation and invaded Hawaii, where it became the first occupied territory in their far bigger United States invasion.

Hawaii served as a launching pad for the Rising Sun forces to strike California. Resistance movements concocted by locals in the area were all failures to suppress the occupiers, and in response a great genocide formed on the islands against the Americans. Following it, Japanese soldiers, planes, and boats stormed San Francisco in a surprise attack, which ended in Japanese victory. Residents fled east to the midwest, however the remaining locals were treated as slaves for the Rising Sun. If anyone had disobeyed even the smallest order, they would be executed. It didn't matter what age they were, they could be babies and they still would've gotten killed. This treatment would apply to all occupied territories in the U.S. by the Japanese.

The United States formed the "U.S.H.D." (United States Homeland Defense), which served as a defending force while there were still soldiers out at sea. The military fighting overseas was renamed to "U.S.P.O" (United States Pacific Operations). It became clear that there was more focus on defense rather than offense, which in turn lead to several defeats out at sea. On the bright side, the Japanese were taken repeated losses in homeland U.S.A. The Battle of Death Valley served as a turning point in the conflict. With Japanese forces being pushed back up to San Francisco, another battle there ignited, this time resulting in American victory. The Japanese were forced out of the U.S., were focus could be situated in the pacific once again.

Unfortunately, due to most resources being used to defend the United States, President Roosevelt, in a controversial move, reaches out to the USSR for support. After tense negotiations, the Soviet Union agrees in what is known as the "Pact of Superpowers". In a basic description of the pact, the United States would help fight against the Nazis with Russia and Russia would help fight the Japanese with the Americans. The successful allied invasion of Normandy, the victory at Berlin, and the capture of Adolf Hitler boosted the allies' spirits.

Following the defeat of the Nazis and the subsequent surrender of Italy, the Americans and Russians forged out the Island Hopping strategy to invade Japan and bring an end to the war quickly. The surprise invasion wasn't enough, however. So, the U.S. dropped several atomic bombs, which eventually lead to a surrender. However, the war wasn't over, as Roosevelt lead an assassination of Stalin at the signing of the treaty. Hirohito was shot dead by American soldier Michael Tobocco. The shock of these assassinations created the perfect opportunity for domination for the U.S. With Europe left in shambles, American forces scattered across the continent to take land, either peacefully or violently.

A great holocaust of the Japanese occurred in vengeance for the invasion at homeland U.S.A. Around 80-90 percent of the total Japanese population was slaughtered. The remaining citizens were either treated as sex slaves (if they were female) or laborers (if they were male). Back in North America, there was lots of support for these rapes and massacres. Those who were in internment camps were also killed off. The soviets didn't take kindly to the American invasion of their homeland, and in response engaged in nuclear war. The soviet bombs were not well designed at first. However, it did do a good enough job at keeping the Americans at bay. Several major U.S. cities were struck and destroyed, including Washington D.C. In the destruction of D.C., President Roosevelt was killed. Harry S. Truman became president thereafter.

In the end, however, the Soviet Union fell to the United States. Both Japan and Russia were added into the United States with the "Expansion of Tobacco", a treaty written by Michael Tobacco, now a military general. The expansion of the U.S. continued throughout Europe where, due to the wrecked nature of the continent following World War II and the United States-Russian Nuclear War, offered little resistance to America's claims. Now it had appeared that America replaced Germany in THE efforts to capture all of Europe. This time, however, it was actually successful.

Meanwhile, back home, the capital of the country and most major cities were built in the Great Plains. This was because it would be a hard target for atomic bombs to hit any of the cities. On the down side, many lower/middle-class civilians left in the east or west coasts had to fend for themselves, as the government relocated all of their operations out of those places. "Jefferson" became the new capital of the United States. In the Great Plains, only the wealthy lived. Those who were middle or lower class were stuck on the east or west sides of the country due to not being offered to move out to the Great Plains. Anyone who tried to located themselves died from radiation poisoning and mutated creatures.

The election of 1960 made Michael Tobacco the new president, with Jackson Fisher as his vice president. Under this new command, the United States sought out world domination now that they had the power to do so. They threatened nuclear war if countries didn't comply, which, considering that the U.S. was the only country to have atomic weapons, was a very successful strategy. America wasn't entirely antagonistic, though. They established friendships with several South American countries and Great Britain.

In 1981, Britain became the final country to be added to the United States. The world was now entirely under the USA's control. The government then became that of a "false democracy". Essentially, the people were given the illusion of voting. Every time there was an election, the citizens would cast their ballots, but the government had already chosen a winner. For the presidential elections, it was always Michael Tobacco and Jackson Fisher. Once Michael Tobacco died, then Jackson Fisher and Thomas Kennedy always became president and vice president. When Jackson Fisher died, then Thomas Kennedy and Markus Biay became president and vice president and so on. The vice president was always chosen by the vice president before taking office.

It was no longer about the people. It was about the desires of those in power.
