As it says on the can-Can we prevent the United States from breaking apart into it's successor states of New England, the F.S.A., the Southern American Confederation, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, after the failure to ratify the proposed Constitution in 1787?
OOC: Should note, by the way, that Virginia no longer exists as a separate nation, with the exception of their former Virgin Islands, Caymans, and Bahamian colonies, that live on as a successor state of it's own. All of the other countries are democratic republics as well, to varying extents, with perhaps the freest press, and the most secularism in New England, the F.S.A.(which also includes Cuba and the southern half of Florida, as well as everything west to the Continental Divide) with the most industry, and the S.A.C. being a somewhat socially conservative country that only ended slavery in 1915/16, after the economic collapse following the intervention in Virginia's civil war.
The F.S.A. in particular has decent relations with most of the other North American states, such as the Republic of Texas, Pacifica, Canada, and Mexico.
