[FONT=&quot]I'm trying something different something called a reverse T.L
I wrote a few paragraphs last night about a crazy and chaotic situation, what I will do now I will take steps back instead of steps forward, trying to make a plausible
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]timeline to create this scenario.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

THE BROKEN STATES[/FONT]​



With the Collapse of the American Empire in 1974 a new era for the continent began one even more tumultuous than the cold war. Many fragments emerged out of the chaos, by 1983 there were emerging nations in the former U.S and dozens of principalities in Mexico and Canada

In the South ( The Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana) the provincial governors of the former American States attempted to retain local control. This became difficult as poverty and crime had already gripped the former cotton belt for decades. As it became obvious that the local government was unable to protect outlying communities hundreds of small towns and plantains declared sovereignty from the old governors and formed their militias to fight against the growing drug cartels. Semi-Feudalism began to emerge as towns people railed around particular strong men for protection. The black population who had never been fully accepted by the majority of people within the old states formed their own separate “nations” to protect themselves against an ever militant Klu Klux Klan.
A successful militia leader by the name of Dean Farley blamed the deplorable shape of the old southern states on the lack of “ “youth morals”, and of god’s favor, forging a small theocracy on the Gulf Coast. On October 3rd 1979 Farley declared a holy war on insubordination, interracial marriage, drugs, communism, atheism and other “immoral actives” Allying himself with Alabama Governor George Wallace III Farley quickly proposed an revival of the old CSA, his ranks swelling with volunteers to eradicate the so called “dirty evils” that menaced society. Farley called the old Governors to council on February 2nd 1980 to decide on the future of “The Chosen Land”.
In March with his army behind him Farley took the Governors to council in Atlanta Georgia. There the old governors unanimously voted for the Constitution of the revived CSA and declared war on the states who governors had not attended the council- William Rowel of West Virginia, John Davis of Arkansas and the U.S.S.R supported Peoples Republic of Seminole (Southern Florida)
Farley immediately marched through the south cementing his authority and was greeted as a Liberator. On this wave of support Farley launched a campaign against Arkansas. Before even reaching the headquarters of the local government he received news that the local people had risen against Davis. He also received Davis’s head. Quickly moving he approached West Virginia in the first week of August, using the little air force at he had to destroy the Capital at Charleston. Rowel rallied an enthusiastic defense and confronted Farley at Beckley. With inferior numbers and equipment Rowel and his army of 4,000 is surrounded. After refusing surrender terms Rowel and almost all of his supporters are killed on August 10th.

The next entry will be about the final collapse of the United States

Despite
the best efforts of President George Romney, the situation had become hopeless for the United States, entire cites already burned down by angry mobs from both the left and the right most infamous of all of these being Chicago Anarchy of September 2nd-20th 1974

Now it was only the second week of October and another crisis had already presented it's self
The latest of the many brandishing ideologues approached Capital Hill and each other, Brothers of Moses all clothed in white carrying a so called splinter of the true cross, their most distinguished leader being minster Spiro Agnew declared the recent "Los Angles Reforms" immoral and satanic. They were 50,000 strong

The second mob was a loose organization by the name "Comrades of the Second Era" Socialist in nature their primary goal was the complete abolition of large authorities every where. Primarily their recruits were the black, the young and the educated. The leadership of the "Comrades" was unclear though an obscure writer by the name of Malcom X was playing an increasingly important role in directing the movement.

They were estimated 100,000 strong.

Both of these groups had vehemently denounced each other and charged at one another. In the ruthless bloodshed between civilians over 4,000 were killed and over 20,000 were wounded.

Taking a look at the carnage from the White House Romney fell apart and sobbed, in confusion and terror,.

It was obvious now the end was soon near, with the Comrades of the Second Era Regrouping themselves he and the congress gathered in the legislator for a final meeting between the U.S Congress the next day.

There the DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION was passed by the House of Representatives, The Senate and the President all in one day. It granted whatever control that was to be had to the remaining governors of the state and abolished the U.S Constitution. In front of large mobs throwing sticks and stones. The Last President of the United States escaped the White House by helicopter to Guam.

Once on the so called path to greatness, the former USA was now a collection of fragments and petty struggles.

Next- The last breaths of the Romney Administration .

ONE YEAR BEFORE:

Excerpt from the "Fall of the Union"

"As problems mounted President Romney was confident that through his new programs that he had umbrellaed as "rehabilitation of openness" could save the declining union. Legalizing all non violent Political Parties and adhering to the 1st amendment once more was at best questionable but it was a start. Already he had single singlehandedly pushed the New godly brethren aside an amazing achievement given the fact that they had been the state sponsored Church of the Old Regime, when he woke up in the morning he swore he could see America Returning. Worn down roads rebuilt, crumbling buildings restructured no matter what the critiques said he was making progress regardless"

1973



1973 was a problematic year for the reformist government but it was also a year of great advances, it actually seemed like the United States was emerging from the ashes of the RFA (Republic of Faithful Americans). With the armed forces withdrawn from Canada and Mexico millions of former defense spending was directed at massive infrastructure projects, most ambitious of these was the Modern Transcontinental Railroad rebuilding routes that had fallen into disuse and dis cay and importing New Electric trains from Europe.
Romney continued to have problems with insurgents from both the right and the left but it looked like that unrest as a whole was winding down, the Gold Walter theory of absolute authority had definitely fell, and Romney tried a new strategy,

"When a hungry chile becomes unruly you do not slap in the face, but you give him a nice platter'

From "My Memoirs as the Last President"- George Romney- released 1999

Romney invested massively in establishing Universal Education, Heath Care and the reinstatement of the National Social Security Acts originally constructed by Huey Long.

Most important for Romney was foreign policy, he met with U.S.S.R General Secretary Krustev three times in 1973 in a forceful push for detente,
On September 3rd Romney enjoyed his greatest accomplishment- The Cold Termination Treaty.

The Cold War Termination Treaty reopened the United States to immigration and emigration, and reopened relationships between the United States and the rest of the world. One thing was for certain now- The U.S was no longer an international pariah.


As the Year drew to a close the ARP (American Revisionist Party still held an absolute majority, stability had returned to the United States and the World was no longer nearing Nuclear Holocaust.
"It looks like Everything is growing to plan"
Excerpt from Romney's Speech to Congress December 20th 1973.

World Map for this timeline at 1972

Darjer Blue- The Continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii are near independent at this point, the North American Empire held up for two decades has now withdrawn from Canada and Mexico

Dark Red- The Soviet Union

Bright Red- Soviet Allies

Bright Blue- Commonwealth of Nations- headed by the United Kingdom as an Anti- Comintern Pact

Dark Green- Grand Islamic Republic

Purple- Maoist China, cut of ties from the Soviet Union in 1964 and is now collapsing

Magenta- A revived Nationalist China

Turquoise- United Socialist Hellinc/Yugoslav Republics, unaligned

This is just a rough idea I will refine this later
