Temporal Cold War of the American Union
The Temporal Cold War is one of the labels given to the crosstime conflict between the factions aiming to produce their version of the future American Union.
The 2 predominant factions are the (selfnamed) Alpha Faction and their opponents the Omegas.
The Alpha Faction
Government: Hierarchically Federal Presidential Republic. States make up Regions with a Senate headed by a Deputy President. Regional Senate&Congresses then elect the National Senate and Congress. There is a nationally elected President and, depending on temporal flux, either regionally elected coterminous DPs or DPs on the Presidential Ticket.
Citizenship: There are 3 classes of Citizen in this AU which determine job, medical, and voting rights. The top class Alphas are the only class able to elect the President. Citizenship tests to determine class occur at age 15 and every 10 years after.
Ideology: Libertarian Capitalism. Unregulated free market with a strong corporate element.
The Omega Faction
Government: Federated Presidential Republic. The National Senate and Congress have internally devolved Regional Sub-Senates led by an internally selected Premier or Speaker. The Presidency is the multi-member Executive Council whose newest member is nationally elected each year. Depending on temporal flux there are 7-12 Executive Councillors who serve 1 term each (ie a term of 7-12 years). Regionalism and multiple Councillors have enabled the growth of a multi-party system.
Ideology: Social Capitalism. Strongly regulated market with government funded health and social care programmes.
