History[]

The Majority of Congress was evacuated to the Greenbrier Bunker, operating under Project Greek Island. They attempted to deliver an address, despite the failing television and radio networks across America. Most of the members of the House and Senate perished in the Greenbrier, though some are known to have left to make new lives for themselves. For Example, Edmund Muskie, Former Senator of Maine, abandoned the Greenbrier and became an important politician in Muskingum.

John F. Kennedy in early 1963 ordered an executive evacuation to Hawaii, upon the NECPA ships. Where in Hawaii they erected a provisional government, with hopes to re-take the american homeland. It soon became apparent that this hope was futile, as mainland america was too irradiated and too much of a quagmire for any hope of Unity.

Navy units and Army units stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Also quickly set course for the Hawaiian Islands very nearly meeting an end in the destroyed Panama Canal. But, they eventually in late 1964 finally made it to the Hawaiian Islands, significantly boosting the military power the American Provisional Government or (APG) had at its disposal to use as peacekeepers and defense forces.

In early 1964 nearing the end of his term John F. Kennedy delivered his famous speech about the need for American unity and a new era in which he proposed the reclamation of Alaska and the founding of the United States of the Pacific which would consist of Alaska, Hawaii, and the populated American overseas territories. John F. Kennedy’s proposal was quickly favored by both the civilian population, the military brass, and what was left of congress.

Thus by 1965 Alaska had been reclaimed by Pacific States forces and rebuilding in Anchorage and Juneau had begun. The arrival of both the Aircraft Carriers the USS Kitty Hawk and the USS Constellation at Pearl Harbor Naval Base in 1966 further helped increase the United States of the Pacific’s military power.  

In 1970 contact was established with the Australian-New Zealand Confederation and the two new nations decided to renew the alliance both their predecessors had with each other. This resulted in the EPTO formed and soon there after contact with the Canadian Provisional Republic was established and then soon thereafter join the EPTO.

Also in 1978 top of expanding its influence over its significant neighbors to both the East and West, the USP also began sending expeditions to contact survivor states on what remained of the North American West Coast and to attempt to colonize Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in hopes of using them as a base to also make contact with survivor states along the United States Gulf and East Coasts.

Finally in 1980 after discovering the East Caribbean Federation and initiating   two years of negotiations with the nation over the ownership of Puerto Rico both nations agree that mainland Puerto Rico will go to the East Caribbean Federation, but that the Island of Isla Mona will be ceded to the USP to be used as an military base and staging point in their quest to make contact with survivors on the East Coast.
