History of the ACU[]
Pre-2010[]
The United States of America was founded in 1776 when thirteen British colonies declared their independence. The country rapidly expanded westward throughout the 19th century, acquiring new territories and becoming a world power. The 20th century saw the US emerge as a superpower following its victory in World War II, and become a leader in science, technology, and culture. The country has faced numerous challenges and controversies throughout its history, including slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, and political scandals. In the early 21st century, the US faced significant challenges related to terrorism, the global financial crisis, and political polarization.
Conversely, Canada was formed through a series of constitutional acts and confederations in the mid-19th century. It became an independent country in 1931 and has since maintained a peaceful and cooperative relationship with its southern neighbor, the United States. Canada is known for its multiculturalism, social welfare programs, and natural beauty. However, it has also faced challenges related to indigenous rights, linguistic and cultural tensions, and environmental concerns. In the early 21st century, Canada continued to develop economically and socially, while grappling with issues such as climate change and the ongoing pursuit of reconciliation with its indigenous populations.

Asteroid Impacts in North America
On November 18th, The equator of the earth was bombarded by thousands of asteroids including the Southern USA And the Island of Hawaii. Months before NASA discovered the Asteroids but calculated the cloud would pass the planet and would burn up in the Sun. They recalculated and learned the field hit the planet. The Presidents of both countries were evacuated the day before Impact. The Media said it would be a regular meteor shower. By the time the EAS went off it was too late. Millions died due to bad communication with the media, NASA was able to prevent Impacts near Kennedy Space Center but other than that no other effort to prevent damage and death. A huge asteroid then hit Saharan Africa, ringing the earth like a bell, causing the ring of fire and Yellowstone to erupt and cover half of the world in ash. Meanwhile, on the east coast, the Cities were bombarded by huge tsunamis and flooding Chunks of the coast permanently.
