United States of America (1811- US Revolution)

The United States of America was founded in 1811 after a violent uprising by American Patriots (See United States Revolution). Patriots attempted to lead America to independance in 1776, but were found by the British and all involved were executed by hanging.

Pre Revolution
The United States was largely a failed British Colony after the failed revolution in 1776. The States didn't have any vast mineral or other sources of wealth that the other British Colonies had (eg India and opium). Furthermore, the Colonies faced pressure from the French to the south, who recently annexed Florida, which caused the British to invest major resources in border defense in the Southern States. This led to oppertunities for revolutionary groups to commit acts of terrorism and treason in the Northern States, especially New England.

Government
The United States currently has 23 States which are each governed by a regional Governor. A president is elected ever 4 years, and Congress is elected every 5 years, in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
