United States of America
The United States of America or U.S, U.S.A or just simply referred to as "America", is a country composed of 50 individual states, a federal district and several overseas territories. It is the 3rd largest country as well as the 3rd most populous, as well as being the largest economical power in the world.
However, it wasn't always like that for the U.S. After the disastrous and humiliating War of 1812, the country was left staunchly divided, despite winning two wars against Mexico. which finally exploded during the American Civil War (1859-1868), one of the most brutal conflicts to ever take place on the continent of the Americas. It took nearly twenty years for the country to heal, after which the U.S entered a policy of non-intervention during the European Conflict. However, it shared economical ties with the Continental European powers such as France and Germany. These ties would finally lead to a military alliance which saw the United States finally being able to avenge the humiliation of the War of 1812 by asserting their domination over the continent during the World War. The U.S acquired the disputed Oregon Territories, Northern Maine and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
Thanks to this, the U.S gained several new states. The Pacific States, who were named after the three first U.S presidents, Washington, Adams and Jefferson, as well as the States of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. After the war, it also incorporated the states of Roosevelt, Guam and Puerto Rico, bringing the total number of states to 50 by 1971 (date of the incorporation of the State of Guam into the Union).
After the World War, the U.S.A re-entered a period of isolation, although the Liberty Party presidencies did involve a degree of American intervention, notably in East Asia with their Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese allies. The U.S didn't actively involve themselves in world affairs, despite having a permanent seat at the United Nations World Council, and being the leading world economical power.
Today, the United States has been hit by the War on Terror, with several terrorist attacks on U.S soil leading to the rise of the Liberty and the Radical party, who was mostly annihilated during the late 60s and 70s, and has since seen a surge in voters. In 2016, soon after the election, the U.S made their first intervention in Africa since the wars against the Barbary Coast, intervening in the Bornu Emirate to contain Boko Haram. It has also joined forces with the EDF and Iranese Army by providing air support to combat terrorrist groups in Balochistan and the Zagros Mountains.
