Alsea: Haitian Civil War

    The Haitian Civil War, widely known in Haiti as L'Angoisse, was a three-way conflict between the government of the Haitian Second Republic led by President Martial Célestin, the Front pour l'Avancement du Salut Haïtien, a conservative anti-communist paramilitary group, and the Communist Armée Populaire Haïtienne, in an alliance of convenience with La Société pour la Règle du Peuple, a black peasant guerrilla movement. Though lasting less than two and a half years, the war was characterized by extreme violence, deliberate targeting of civilians, recruitment of child soldiers, and "social cleansings" of peasant villages by FASH and government troops.

    During the 1970s, Haiti suffered from economic downturn, endemic corruption, and worsening divisions between the mulatto urban elite and the black peasant class. In 1971, Martial Célestin was elected President, and began a renewed crackdown on leftist groups while also attempting to curb the power of the military. A failed coup on 26 July 1976 by Lt. General Claude Raymond, a prominent leader of FASH, led to Raymond's execution and the promotion of Lt. General Porphyrye Gaudin, a mulatto educated in Paris, to Commander of the Armed Forces. After quarreling with rival Henri Namphy and expressing dissatisfaction with his position in the government, Gaudin promoted himself to General and defected to FASH. Though the United States and its proxy organization the OAS initially supported the Célestin government, Célestin's death in summer of 1978 and significant gains made by Communist forces assisted by the Soviet Union and Cuba prompted President Wallace to switch American support to FASH. On August 18, a joint American-OAS force invaded and occupied the island. Namphy capitulated in Pétionville and went into exile, and the Second Haitian Republic was dissolved. Fighting lasted until January 1979, when most of the guerrilla leaders were hunted down and executed. Communist commander Frédéric Avril fled to the Dominican Republic and continued to lead a resistance against Gaudin until he shot by gendarmes in Ganthier in 1987.

    As President, Gaudin launched a campaign of retribution and terror against his political enemies both within and without the government. Namphy was killed by a car bomb in Miami in 1982. Under Gaudin's rule Haiti was transformed from a corrupt authoritarian republic to a true military dictatorship which would endure until his death in 2005.

    Chicken Nugget man

    I'm not going to go into much detail about this (because I'm too lazy) but basically, Humans land on Mars on the 2050s and find Native Martians there, who speak their own language and culture. After scientists at NASA found a way to terraform a planet in under 5 years, Human settlement to Mars skyrocketed, and Large cities were built on the South Sea (the former Southern Icecap) and the Northern Sea (the former Northern Icecap).

    At first, relations were friendly.The Martians and the Humans traded guns, tanks, and aircraft. The Humans thought Martians things like Math, Human languages, and the Martians tough the Humans things like j'mka (Basically martian math). They traded language together, and the first Martian to English dictionary was made in 2061. However, many Martians and Humans were fearful of eachother. After tje Ma'kamoa Uniska (Martian Union, a group of Martian states) voted to server ties with the Humans, the Humans began to enact laws which segreated the martians, and opressed them.


    The Martians moved more inland to escape Human colonization (much like the Boers of South Africa). However, a nationalist leader, K'ump ka (literally Holy Leader in Martian) , managed to unite the Martian States and form the Federation of the Martian Planets (even though most of the population lives on mainland Mars) and begins to support Martian rebels on the Human colonies.

    After 5 years of intense tension, The Martian Liberation Front rises up in a suuprise attack. After only 8 weeks of fighting, the United Nations grant the Martian Republic independence, ending the First Martian War for Independence. However, many Martians were not happy, as they still lived under human oppression. Another Martian liberation front is formed, and with the support of the Martian Republic and Federation of the Martian Planets, they rise up.


    (This is VERY unrealistic, and is piratically Sci-fi)

    The Fifth Agrarian Civil War was the fall of an era in Agraria. Ever since 1971, the Republic of Agraria had been run by the LaFollette family, Doug and Robert III. However, they also ran a Democracy and the two occasionally lost majorities or leadership elections. The Republic was quite left-wing and even elected a few Communists. However, following the 1989 Agrarian Federal Election Prime Minister Doug LaFollette became more anti-Communist. Many Communists felt angered by the growing anti-Communist sympathies. So in 1991, a group of Revolutionaries attacked buildings in Sioux Falls and declared war on the Agrarian Government. Following the attacks, every member of the Communist Party of Agraria resigned from the parliament and most supported the revolutionaries. Along with the resigning members, Prime Minister Doug LaFollette declared war on the rebellion.

    Following the attacks on Sioux Falls, no one expected the Communist Resistance to do much. However, Prime Minister LaFollette did some controversial things. He used the war to increase some of his powers and put together a "National Union Coaliton" that was widely criticized by those who weren't in the Coalition. These events allowed the Resistance to paint LaFollette as a dictator-in-waiting. Due to this, the resistance grew, and they made heavy gains. Within Four years, they dominated most of West Agraria, and the final moment occurred when the Resistance attacked the capital building and killed Doug LaFollette. The fall came the next day. The fall of the Republic happened due to squabbling sides of the government that all wanted power. Due to the increasing squabbling, the Resistance was able to capture the capital and Robert LaFollette III surrendered, officially ending the Republic. Despite the Resistance calling themselves "The Democratic Option", they ended up creating a Communist dictatorship. The fall of the LaFollette has shaped Agraria and North America to this day.

    That thing where I slowly start to lose steam and interest is happening. Trying to force these out -

    "The Emergency Wartime Government was a temporary variation of the United States Congress that existed from September 26, 1983 (1:02am EST) to October 22, 1990 (10:09pm EST). It was enacted in accordance by way of the National Wartime Emergencies Act by former Secretary of State George P. Shultz in the immediate aftermath of the 1983 Nuclear Exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. Per the Act, the Wartime Govt. was headed by the sitting president (Shultz), who held absolute command, and staffed by several ranking members, all of which have various adjutant as well as joint powers depending on their prior positions. Subsequently, members of Congress would be removed from decision-making at the federal level and instead redirected to act as the individual governing bodies of their respective states, meaning each state was typically run by one-to-two Senators, four-to-ten Representatives, and one Governor, respectively, each of whom would answer to the Emergency Govt. At any given time, any Senator/Representative/Governor/etc. could be called upon to fill a required position within the Govt., after-which their vacant seat would be filled via a snap election.

    The responsibilities held by ranking members included;
    - Command of domestic military, national guard, police and emergency services. (see Donald Rumsfeld, Robert McFarlane)
    - Oversight and direction pertaining to both domestic and international intelligence, surveillance and counterterrorism. (see William J. Casey, Dick Cheney, Bobby Ray Inman)
    - Ultimate judicial authority over all federal and/or state-level criminal court. (see Barry Goldwater, Larry McDonald, Lewis Libby, Ray C. Osborne)
    - Authority and direction over federal, state and local media such as television, newspaper and radio broadcasts. (see Guy Vander Jagt)

    The Wartime Govt. existed in two declared, and subsequently debatable iterations. The 'second iteration' was declared active by Acting President Robert McFarlane after the disappearance of Shultz and the subsequent resignations, arrests and assassinations of the former ranking members. The second iteration was active for five months before McFarlane was forcibly removed from power, during which the Govt. was dismantled and the federal model was reinstalled.    "

    They say that the United States of America is an unlucky nation.

    After Andrew Jackson's folly at the Battle of New Orleans resulted into the United States losing the War of 1812, the United States had weakened, becoming a fervently pro-French state. William Hull, the Governor of Michigan, had viewed the War of 1812 as "a minor setback for the Americans"; they would suffer a much more catastrophic loss in the Louisianan War, losing not only any chance to expand West, but also what remained of the American Northwest. Louisiana and Indiana became Dominions of the British Empire, alongside Canada and Oregon - fairly successful Dominions, too - and the United States went into isolation, dealing with its own internal matters such as the issue of slavery. This broke the possibility of the unstable ex-colonies of America remaining independent, until the late XXth century, when the colonials began pushing for independence and "home governance".

    The United States was drawn into the Global Wars that shook the world in the XIXth century. Itself a very unstable state, with Mexico, France, Russia and the British Empire fighting for influence, with racial tension and heavy presence of the Syndicalists, the United States joined the war on the side of the Anti-British Coalition, supporting Alexander III's decision to defend its rights to Marmara and the South Slavs and Ethiopians' rights to independence. It was, after all, a very noble idea in the eyes of the ruling Populist Party, which was by then dominated by the "Anti-Imperialist" faction that called for total independence of the Western Hemisphere. Shockingly, the Russo-Prusso-French coalition managed to win (and would go on to win the Second Global War), but the United States fell into disrepair, and the Haan Transition Government was overthrown by the American Syndicalists, estabilishing the United Peoples of America. This dictatorship was not a long-lived institution, falling in 1976, but the United Peoples of America did initially succeed in industrializing the nation.

    In 1988, the United States was still reeling from the effects of the economic crisis of the 1970s. Other issues that the United States had to deal it was the activity of pro-American paramilitary units in Louisiana and Indiana, particularly during the War of Carbondale and the War in Ceylon, as well as the tension in Yazoo and Mobile over the actions of black and white supremacist militia. Zed Miller, the governor of Georgia and then-President of the United States, a conservative free market capitalist, was deemed to be unable to fix the crisis America was dealing with, and with the fear of a "new Syndicalist revolution" and the failure of Miller's "New America" Act his popularity only lowered.

    It was at this point that the Federalist Party rose. A primarily Northern party, standing for economic stability, the Federalist Party has been led by Edward B. Porter of Pennsylvania. Born to a Lithuanian-American family of lawyers, and first appearing on the national stage as a keynote speaker at the 1984 Federalist Convention, Porter has struck deep into the minds and hearts of Americans with his "What Makes America Boil?" speech, and has relentlessly attacked the economic failures of the Miller administration. Thus, when Porter was nominated as the presidential candidate of the Federalist Party, millions of people were overjoyed, just as millions of people were enraged.

    Porter and Miller actively campaigned in the country, with Miller's slogan being notably "Stand Against Disunity" and Porter's being "A New American Way". While both Porter and Miller opposed the racial violence in Yazoo and Mobile, and did not approve of the activities of American paramilitaries in neighboring Louisiana, this was not the case for Benjamin Surge of the Nationalist Party, who has stated that "they [the paramilitary units] are protecting the safety of our homeland and our people abroad". Porter fiercely attacked Miller's "refusal to fix the economy" and "powerless, incompetent pseudo-conservatism", while Miller accused Porter of being a "Beckettist", after the infamous Integratist leader of the British Empire during the Second Global War. Both Porter and Miller were fiercely opposed by Rodham du Pont, businessman and governor of Delaware, who campaigned against the "authoritarianism" of the two major candidates.

    In the end, despite the popularity Miller enjoyed among many whites and the overwhelming majority of Native Americans, the election was won by Edward B. Porter, who even managed to win Georgia, Miller's home state, due to du Pont and Surge's machinations. Porter won the election with only 51.3% of the popular vote, leading to accusations of election fraud. Nonetheless, upon stepping into office, Porter would proclaim "a new century for America, where truth and justice rule fairly".

    Porter's inauguration was fairly well-received in countries such as Russia, where newly-elected President Zadornov of the National Sanation Party applauded the results of the election, calling them "just and fair for such an unfortunate nation" and stating that Porter "would be an ideal President for America", as well as China, Ireland, Texas and Greece, but was poorly-received in Mexico, whose Prime Minister Belden stated that the election "reeked of vote rigging".
