Following the Lakotah War a large number of American survivor communities held a new constitutional convention, reestablishing the United States of America. Though the Constitution copied almost directly from the United States Constitution, the new government declared itself only a provisional government that will give authority back to the existing federal US government if they ever came into contact with them. In 2009 the USA learned that the surviving American government disbanded itself in 1995. So far the current USA government has shown little interest in changing the current status quo, but there has been some discussion about dropping the provisional status of the government. On March 6, 2010, there has been talk with a group of survivor communities in Idaho as to annex the western part of the state.
History
The PUS was founded in 1992. Its first president was Ray Hunkins.
Current events
On February 12, 2010, representatives from across the PUS met in Torrington, Wyoming for a constitutional convention. Ever since contact with the outside world in 2009 where they learned that the United States had disbanded in 1995, the people of the PUS have debated about the provisional status of their government. It is hoped that the new constitutional convention will decide the fate of this survivor state. There is some speculation that the PUS will declare itself to be the successor of the United States. Governor of Lincoln, Sarah Heath, has been a vocal supporter of this idea.
Flag
Despite not having 50 states, the Provisional United States of America continues to fly the 50 star flag. There has been discussion, however, on updating the flag to reflect the current status quo.
