Thatcher goes 'on and on' into the new millennium

Thatcher's own private intentions were to retire around 1993/1994, but knowing her it wouldn't have been out of the question for her to attempt to topple Walpole's record.

Oh what a beautiful engineering development to utterly destroy the ecosystem and water supply of the nation.

Quite short-sighted indeed. It was the result of urbanization in the late 19th century spurring massive unregulated agricultural expansion, as happened to a lesser degree IOTL. Eager to reap the benefits of industrial growth and to provide land for liberated slaves in the wake of the collapse of South Carolina, developers began cheaply constructing canals out of Lake Mayaca (OTL Okeechobee), which gradually eroded the Everglades. By the mid-20th century, the situation was becoming a disaster. Though the Fourth Republic was meant to be founded on secular, socialist, anti-slavery and anti-feudal values, cultural conflict continued to exist.

Spanish and Haitian speaking traditional elites left over from the Third Republic were still powerful due to their roles in the civil war. The federation's independent Indigenous political structures dealt with issues of racism, and especially at the time there was cultural-linguistic strife between Yatsiminoli and Timucua academics. Also, both new and existing populations of newly free Afro-American people from the wars in the north continued after the Civil War and contributed to the development of a countercultural movement embracing diversity, international harmony and environmentalism as a remedy for the nation's woes. The state policies of continuation of the Everglade draining to build industry and housing in the growing Tequesta metropolis made it clear to many people that the revolution had not been completed and cultural change was necessary.

In 1975 a massive wave of student protests against a new canal's construction ended up culminating in a political revolution within the Fourth Republic, a rightist military coup, threats of a civil war which fizzled when most of army mutinied, and a new constitution. The 1975 Constitution set environmental protection as a duty of the state, to be accomplished through industrial and agricultural planning under the jurisdiction of the National Institution of Sciences through a closely tied Environmental Bureau, and programs to redirect agriculture and rebuild the shattered ecosystem continue to occur with greater and lesser degrees of success.

The institution of a state with legal environmentalist obligations spurred similar movements across the world. The "Floridan Ideology" as its critics call it nonetheless bound itself to post-colonial discourses and strategies and anti-colonial revolutionary thought.

WE MUST NOT BUILD A CANAL

Early History:
The United States of the Americas has a long and interesting history starting with the American Revolution of 1776. After the Americans won their revolution, the first president after General George Washington was his second-in-command Alexander Hamilton in 1792, who would shape the presidency however he wanted. America would continue to be a ideological battleground between Hamilton and Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson would become President in 1804. This ideological tug-of-war would last until 1812 when the first hints of the Spanish American Wars for independence would begin with one Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar Palacios Ponte y Blanco, or Simón Bolívar for short. Bolívar would lead South America out from its rule of the Spanish Crown, leading to the creation of Gran Colombia. The United States would fully support Gran Colombia in its independence, which would bring them into conflict with Spain. The resulting Spanish-American War of 1813 would lead to the United States taking Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Discussions began between the United States and Gran Colombia about the transfer of the territories gained, but nothing would come from it.

The next major event in the nation's history would be the Nullification War of 1832. Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina would call for South Carolina to secede in protest of the new tariffs. This put him in opposition to President Phillip Hamilton, who would call for both the defeat of South Carolina, but would also begin the process for the end of Slavery in the United States. This would cause North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, and Kentucky to leave the Union. While the two sides were roughly even, the United States called on their ally to the south: Gran Colombia. While not a nation devoid of slavery, it was one led by a man who hated the institution. President Bolívar would announce they would join the United States in their war against the Federal American Republic. The two nations would defeat the FAR in 1836. Despite the end of the FAR, their legacy would still float around thanks to the Southern Liberation League causing a ruckus in the rebellious states. By 1850, both the United States and Gran Colombia had formed a political alliance, with both nations passing anti-European laws: The Hamilton Act for the United States and the Bolívar Act for Gran Colombia, with the latter abolishing slavery in Gran Colombia. President of the United States William Seward would abolish slavery in the United States in 1862, which would lead to his assassination and the rise of President John C. Frémont of Georgia. President Frémont would hunt down the destroy the remaining opposition of national unification.

All was going decent in both nations until the year 1883 with the Panic of 1883. Both nations entered an economic downturn that threatened to make both nations collapse into chaos and turmoil. President Robert Todd Lincoln of the United States and President José María Campo Serrano of Gran Colombia would meet in Havana, Cuba and make a deal that would change world history. As of July 4th, 1884, both nations would united into the United States of North and South America. The resulting nation would be one that was able to pull itself out of the economic downturn and the creation of a new constitution. President Lincoln would continue to be head of state with President José María Campo Serrano would become Vice President.

Modern Political Parties:
Federalist Party - Inspired by the political ideals of Alexander and Phillip Hamilton and Simón Bolívar. Free Market and big government.
People's Republican Party - Inspired by the political ideals of Thomas Jefferson. Also absorbed parts of the Socialist elements of the early socialist movement in America. A true party of the people.
Reform Party - All the people who were left out of the PRP. While the party originated as a vanity project of Theodore Roosevelt IV, it would eventually take up a life of its own. By 1957, the USNSA would be in the middle of their civil rights movement which would cause members of the Black Panther Alliance and Gay Liberation Front to join the Reform Party, transforming it into the party of the left-wing of American politics.

Internal Divisions:
The nation is divided into two major divisions - the State and the Province. The states are regions like Kentucky, Panama, and Cuba. The provinces are North America, Central America, and South America. Each province elects one non-partisan leader who will head to Washington D.C. and sit in the Senate as tie breakers. During Presidential Elections, candidates tend to be either current or former Provincial leaders. The current Provincial leaders are Mark Rockefeller for North America, Raúl Castro for Central America, and Bernardo Siles for South America.

((Yes, I am aware how ASB this is. I just thought it would be interesting to have a political party that was formed with a combination of both Alexander Hamilton and Simón Bolívar's political philosophy and this was the easiest way of doing it.))

I've made infoboxes for Canada's two main political parties, unfortunately they have both been cursed with terrible logos.
EW54nUS.png

Parti Socialiste Progressiste, better known as the PSP was founded in 1912 as a merger of President Debs' Parti Socialiste and Premier La Follette's Parti Progressiste. The Party promotes the welfare state, trade unions and average left-wing social positions, although remains neutral on the issue of abortion. The Party has a small but significant socially conservative wing, which is happy to endorse their economic policy but takes a conservative stance on social issues.

Parti Démocrate Chrétien, better known as the PDC was founded in 1863 as a conservative response to the liberal Republican Party, their main rivals until the collapse of the Republicans and rise of the PSP. The PDC takes conservative stances on social and economic issues, and is especially conservative on issues like abortion but has become more liberal on issues such as same-sex marriage.

Vive le Canada
Aimée Klobuchar
Michel Penin, Jean-Luc Melenchon, Gabriel Perot
Jean-Luc Kasich
Hillary Blanchet

I looked at the hilary Blanchet infobox and wyoming is a state of Delaware? What? I need a map.

I guess Detroit is the capital? I’m not sure if Mésopotamie is at St. Louis between the Missouri and the Mississippi or closer to Cairo between Ohio and the Mississippi

Awesome, I want more
