As we all know, the United States dissolved after a series of events in the mid 1990s when it proved itself unable to compete with the Soviet Union in military and economic fields, being replaced by handful of smaller socialist republics (though the CSA still uses capitalist/imperialist symbolism for some reason [1]). So, the Berlin Wall fell, the GDR absorbed the GFR, the Warsaw Pact was expanded beyond the Atlantic into Mexico and Cuba, etc.

But what if it hadn't happened? Say, the old United States is able to solve its structural problems as soon as they became evident in the 1970s. Would the Cold War still be raging now? Would there even be a Comnet [2]?
