The Columbian Empire
In 1776 the British colonies on the newly discovered continent of North America declared their independence. Two years later John Reed, the soon to be emperor of The Columbian Empire, too over President Washington's position as leader of the nation after he fell ill. He then declared on the fifteenth of May that the Americas needed to expand and spread freedom throughout the whole region and turned it into a great empire that would rival the British.

Almost two hundred fifty years later the Columbian Empire is still going strong. Now under the leadership of Colonel Daan Brek the empire stretches all the way from Alaska to the tip of Mexico covering most of North America and parts of Asia and Africa. It shares borders with Appalachia, The Republic of Texas, California and the few remaining British colonies in Canada. It is one of the world's most powerful states and known mostly for establishing the United Columbian States (UCS) and the the United Nations (UN). Read more...



The British Empire
After it's establishment in 1603 the British Empire has been going strong for over four hundred years. It is arguably much weaker ever since the American colonies broke away but they still own a huge part of Africa, India and control other nations as commonwealths. It is the most successful empire in all of history, which is why The Columbian Empire modeled itself after them.

The Republic of China
China followed in their Northern neighbor's footsteps and converted to a communist state. Ten years later The Columbian Empire invaded them via Manchuria along with Chinese rebels who were pro-nationalism and forced the Communist party to surrender. Taiwan was soon after reunited with China and the Republic of China was officially recreated. It has since then been a leader in Asia and has created many successful and no so successful democratic East Asian nations.

The State of Israel-Palestine
After many a conflict in the Middle East the Americans and British worked out a compromise between the Palestinians and Israeli people. They helped to create a peaceful sovereign state known as Israeli-Palestine. Since then I-P has set the example for other Middle Eastern nations by inspiring peace between the constant warring Jewish and Muslim populations.

The Scandinavian Powers
Similar to the United Kingdom, The Scandinavian Powers are four states under one name and parliamentary rule. They were created in the early 1800's to protect each other from a British invasion but the idea of a Scandinavian nation stayed in the Nordic people's minds. So instead of dissolving their alliance the nations stayed together and officially formed the Scandinavian Powers in 1819.
