Your nation and the United States of America

[Adainia]

It's the 4th of July, and its high time to exercise your 1st amendment right. This question of course implies that the United States of America exists within your nation's universe in one form or another, collapsed or not. Perhaps you are that very form of America.

I'll start things off.

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?

America starts to differ around the late 60s - early 70s. To summarize, Adainia began to surpass America in terms of supremacy and became the main western superpower. A combination of lagging behind and emigrating population resulted in the nation making some big authoritarian and conservative moves that would ultimately prove to be self destructive. This downward spiral escalates into the nation's collapse during the War of 2020, when it became the target to global nuclear warfare without much to defend itself with compared to its neighbors. It has since re-established itself as a more liberal nation as the United States of Dixie. Like Adainia, it controls a fair amount of the world today.

How (did) your nation's government view America?

Although America was for the most part an ally to Adainia, the nation was a bit of a wildcard. On one hand, America was a major investor in Adainia's economy for both imports and exports. Until the late 80's, Adainia relied significantly on American firearms and equipment for its military. But on the other hand, the American government occasionally diplomatically clashed with Adainia due to laws and actions that both sides saw as either too far or not far enough.

(Did) your people view America differently? If so, how?

The average Adainian saw, and continues to see, Americans as a friendly and mostly fair people, albeit somewhat backwards. Adainians had a lot in common with their American neighbors. Similarities in culture were what mainly contributed to this. In contrast, there were a lot of differences as well. For example, issues of discrimination were solved within Adainia practically from the start, but were still prominent in America as late as its end.

Why (did) your nation's government and people view America as they do?

America's authoritarian beliefs did not all the time mix well with Adainia's relatively libertarian ones. As Adainia began to prosper in the 60's, Adainia was seen as a worthwhile, "sensible" alternate to America. This resulted in a massive influx of emigration, and with it a small case of brain drain. Around this time, beliefs in Adainia and America began to really become divided. While Adainia continued to become a progressive and liberal state, America became an authoritarian haven with heavy immigration policies. This self-caused isolation brought forth much of the differences seen today within the Adainian continuum.

[Dushan]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? Yes it is sort of different, a lot more like 1970s/1980s America.

How does your nation's government view America? The Principality of Dushan and the United States have good relations despite not always agreeing on things.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? Oh those Americans. However we like their amount of personal freedom and many of their cultural imports. Most notably MTV, Music and Movies. Also of course their Weaponry. Such as AR-10, M16, M4 and M60 Tanks which have found their way into the Dushan Armed Forces.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? It is a very far away and curious Country to us.

Note: Strictly canonically Dushan is located on a different Planet in a different Universe/Timeline.

[Vulkata II]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?
Well secretly we've been asking (Uncle)Murica some military help.

We always keep their men and women happy if they visit though nowadays it's hard

How does your nation's government view America?
(Uncle in Polandball)Best friends, though the British didn't care about us in WW2 they said they saw potential(in us) and after the Eastern side of Vulkata was done working American and Vulkatan workers have a nice drink in the end.

Now Murica is one of our most needed best friends seeing if we can return favors for them if they need it.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how?
None. Everyone loves (Uncle)Murica though we don't believe in Wikileaks
[b]Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?[/b
Like i said they just treated us like normal friends after WW2,educated us,showed us the moon landing but the Cuban revolution and Vietnam war kinda scarred us.

Still we were invited to fight alongside with them in Kuwait but we were too shocked from the Korean war and other wars.

From years to come us Vulkatans regretted not joining due to our military equipment nowadays.

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? They lost WW2, with the other Allied powers.

How does your nation's government view America? WW2 is over but we are still enemies.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? No, the people hate them too.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? They are capitalist, pro-Allied and friendly with the British. And the PUS is very nationalist and xenophobic.

[Chadtonia]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? (Ooc response:) The planet that Chadtonia is on only has one country even remotely comparable to the RL United States of America, namely The First America. While certainly contemporary Chadtonia has certain things in common with the U.S.A., the historical context was very different.

(Note: The gameplay The First America in our region is in a separate time period from gameplay Chadtonia. The gameplay The First America began long before Chadtonia. The gameplay The First America is very similar to the early colonial days of the United States of America. From a contempory Chadtonian perspective, however, the modern The First America is known as The United States of The First America and is a moderate ally. Unbeknownst to either Chadtonians or The First Americans, The First America was created as a testing ground by the gods to determine which reality must continue. Chadtonia has never had any war or conflict with The United States of The First America. The modern version is not in the game, though, since in the game, The First America is in Chadtonia's past. Note: The United States of The First America is not the Super-power that the RL The United States of America has become. Chadtonia would be the nearest equivalent to that level of world influence.

How does your nation's government view America? (Ooc: You mean The First America? Chadtonia views them as good trade partners and allies.)

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? (Ooc: um... You haven't been reading what I already wrote above, have you?)

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? (Ic: We have never had any problems with The First America, why start now?)

[The Intergalactic Universe Corporation]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? The America in our universe is far more liberal when it comes to social policy and fiscal policy, but when it comes to economics, they are closed. The America in our universe is a powerhouse, but is losing steam as China catches up very quickly after the Communist Party turned into an ultracapitalist party. The America is ruled by Democratic President Dennis Stanley.

How does your nation's government view America? We view them positively in general, but are sceptical of their overseas policies and their domestic social and fiscal policies.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? In general most Galacticans view America positively, but there is a minority who view America as a competitor of the IUC in trade and high tech manufacturing.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? The IUC has a strong nationalistic culture, but is open enough to view many rich nations favourably whatever their ideology.

[Newne Carriebean7]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?
in 1979, America has a coup as Jimmy carter is deposed for a U. S General named William Vessy Jr, whose rule is welcomed as he began sweeping reforms until he began executing anyone who disagreed with him, in response, several resistance groups pop up, including the Brothers of Liberty ( BOL) and the Sisters of Statehood, the brothers overthrow Vessy and declare an American Empire, placing Californian Governor Ronald Reagan in charge of the nation. The Sisters of Statehood (SOS)storm Richmond and reform the confederacy as a Matriarchy, with the aging daughter of FDR,Anna Roosevelt Halsted. the two sides shared a tense but uneasy begining as the USSR plowed over europe and all that stood over them. the two sides eventually led to a second civil war from 1981-1989, which ended with the storming of the Imperial Palace and Ronald Reagan's flight to Hawaii, where he would be killed by a misunderstanding with natives. the SOS soon turns radical, with various laws passed that made the only the American Feminist Liberty Party (AFLP) the only legal political party in the nation. they began a massive purge of the ranks of politicians, and even burned the Constitution by an accidental fire which engulfed much of the city, the capital of the nation was then moved to New York City where the statue of Liberty was duplicated. the SOS soon lost legitimacy in the nations of the world, with millions of funds being funnled to the Brother's of Liberty, who is run by radical masculine parties such as the American Boy's Party and the American Teen's Party, the BOL's capital is Seattle, as that was one of the few cities not destroyed by Nuclear weapons in the ensuing exchange.
How does your nation's government view America?
As A Firm Ally of the former united states with a self defense treaty that was first signed in 1945 and renewed every 5 years until 1960, when the u.s friendly government was overthrown in a military coup by communist hardliners who allegedly received training and funding from the KGB. the Carriebeanian-United States Treaty of Self Defense and Mutual Cooperation was formed when the united states intervened in our 5th Civil war ( 1990-2003) it is renewed every five years, 2008,2013, and in 2018. it usually tries it's best to prevent war from those two sides, as the situation has devolved into a Korean War type standoff.
Do your people view America differently? If so, how?
they tend to dislike the fact that the american pig dogs have still propped up south korea in the way the Carriebeanian Government still props up the Northern part of the nation. they see it as a vestige of imperialism, however, a few of the more well educated people in Carriebean are lawyers, politicians and businessmen with various connections to the states, with the former Cathalic Party leader having three summer homes up in bear lake Utah, and some carriebeanian politicians owning some Oil wells as part of a plan scam to siphon oil off to carriebeanhelp children in Nigeria.
Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?
because, it is very tricky dealing with two North Korean like states right on the Carriebeanian- U.S boarder.

[Zhouran]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? Not really. Only difference that the 2004 Great Economic Crisis had hit the entire world. A period of financial crisis that gripped much of the world and raised fears of a worldwide economic meltdown due to financial contagion, the economies of economic powerhouses such as the United States, China, Japan and the European Union did not recover, and as a result, once-economically strong nations began to lose their status as economic powers. However, for the People's Republic of Zhouran, the nation had only dipped into a short recession. The short duration and milder effect on its economy was credited to the active management by the government. In less than a year, the Zhouranese economy fully recovered and continued on its growth trajectory. For the US, the economic crisis had a devastating effect. Because of the Great Economic Crisis, the US economy did not recover and was forced to withdraw all their troops from Asia and other overseas countries. Because of the absence of American military presence in Asia, the Zhouranese government saw this as an opportunity to expand their influence across the world in spite of US diplomatic protests.

How does your nation's government view America? The Kaiming Beiguan extremely detests the United States of America, both politically and socially. In terms of politics, they see the US as a corporate super-prison ruled by corporate fat-cats and warmongering bureaucrats. In terms of society, they see the American society as a crumbling materialistic society that runs on petty consumerism and personal greed. Because of their pessimistic views on everything, the Kaiming Beiguan believes that like a phoenix, America must be destroyed to oblivion in order for the American people to rebuild.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? In contrast to the Kaiming Beiguan, the average citizen of the Federation, both from the Zhouranese archipelago and the autonomous regions, tend to have a very neutral view on the US. In fact, many don't see the point in hating the US.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? The Kaiming Beiguan are really sardonic while the people don't see any logic in hating an economically-battered America that faces its own internal struggles.

Is your version of America different from its real-life counterpart in any way? If so, how? It's simply economically weakened, so bad that they had to withdraw all their overseas troops.

How does the world's governments view your America? It's a divided world. Those who rely on Zhouranese tech have to be pro-Zhouran or else the Kaiming Beiguan will shut-down all their electricity and electronics, while those still independent from such reliance became super-anti-Zhouranese, so badly that racial attacks against ethnic Kangyuli people, as well as mistakenly other East Asians, became common. As a result, these nations either became Zhouranese-free or had been militarily attacked by Zhouranese forces. Those who did got attacked still remain independent, however these military attacks from the Zhouranese included intense carpet bombing with deadly cluster munitions, as well as the heavy use of thermobaric weapons.

[Fatatatutti]

Our people, if they have heard of America at all, generally think of it as a collection of mostly insignificant nations. Our government tends to have a low opinion of most foreign governments.

[Paredonia]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? Our nation is set on modern day Earth, so America is exactly as it is in real life.

How does your nation's government view America? The Federal Government has a very close relationship with the United States. We have been friends and allies since the very foundation of both of our nations, as well as them being our biggest trading partner.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? Paredoni people adore the United States. For many decades, the United States has been the country most visited by Paredoni citizens, as well as country that most Paredoni emigrants move to. The only difference between the Paredoni citizens and the Paredoni government is that the citizens are more critical of American foreign policy than the government.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? We share a deep bond that has existed for centuries. Both the United States and the Federal States started their existence as colonies of Great Britain, and both got their independence from Great Britain by means of warfare. We helped each other gain independence from our shared colonial master and afterwards, co-operated extensively in writing our constitutions and setting up our governments.

[Eclius]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?
Well, America never really existed in our dimension and timeline. Since Rome survived and evolved into Eclio-Roman Empire, the Empire later on colonized America, claiming it to be Eclio-Roman territory (or as now we call it, the Province of Northern Americanus). So technically, Christopher Columbus and the other explorers never exited in our timeline, thus, USA and Canada never existed as well. The only nations existed in our dimension and timeline are the classical ancient civilizations.
How does your nation's government view America?
America from parallel dimension: neutral, some random nation that Eclius does not really care much
Do your people view America differently? If so, how?
No, they just see it as some random land in the parallel dimension
Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?
Nothing.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? We're a communist country and in general we dislike capitalism, and the US actively worked against us.

[Noraika]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?

It isn't different. My nation exists in the same timeline as this current one.

How does your nation's government view America?

The Americans are largely seen as backwards and immature, as well as having a penchant for getting involved in the affairs of other countries (which is something the Noran government highly opposes). The United States backed the absolutist Monarchial government that was overthrown during the Noran Civil War, so the current government, which was part of the resistance, is bitter about this has a passive negativity towards the United States. In addition, due to the situation with LGBT+ rights in the country the nation has advised that people exercise caution in travel, and has recommended no travel into the United States by Noran citizens.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how?

The people also don't like the United States, for the same reasons as stated above, but also because they tend to see Americans as arrogant and ignorant. Overall,the United States isn't a big part of the people's lives, so they don't even really think about the country all that much. Although, to be frank, the United State's push for free trade in the Pacific, and its lack of proper society, by Noran standards, mean the United States are seen negatively.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?

Cultural Differences --- Egalitarianism and Communitarianism is a principle focus of the Noran people, and their culture. The rugged individualism, and lack of care for the community at-large, in the states, is a huge culture shock to most Norans.
Historical interaction --- The United States backed the previous government, which was oppressive and undemocratic, and helped prolong the bloody Noran Civil War by propping up the government.
American Interventionism --- The United States are seen as having a habit of getting in involved in political and economic affairs in other nations. To the Norans, its typically not seen as another state's business to what goes on outside their borders.
Lack of Progressivism --- Progressive thinking is a part of just about every political philosophy in Noraika. Things like religion are not seen as an overruling to scientific research and discovery. Norans are particularly appalled by treatment of LGB+ and T people in the United States, as well as the United State's lack of even a basic welfare safety net.

How does the world's governments view your America? My America controls many of the governments, has good relations with a few, neutral with many and bad with Islamic governments and civil rights based countries,

Do the world's people view your America differently? If so, how? Citizens both love and fear it, foreigner's view it with awe but enemies hate it with a strong passion.

Why does the world's government and people view your America as they do? Our control of countries, our Christian doctrine and our low personal rights.

[The United Colonies of Earth]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? It was reconstituted as a member state of the UCE in 2176, and a component of the Terran Federal Government in 2178. Its' powers have been drastically reduced and though it still has 50 states and a capital of Washington, D.C., it has lost land to direct control by the UCE Congress.

How does your nation's government view America? We view it as an immensely historically important former global hegemon. Without it, the UCE could never have come to be. By merely existing, it has stood as an example of liberal democracy, the government we follow today.
However, its' strong preference for capitalist nations which could supply its' multinationals or provide some other strategic benefit, especially during the Cold War, has influenced us too. By pushing capitalism to the heights it achieved, the US also implanted in us a strong preference for that system which persists to the present day and underlies our constant expansion.
It also originates as the source of much of Interstellar English vocabulary, Interstellar English being the lingua franca of the United Colonies of Earth. Several naming conventions also come from the US: our Congress (also bicameral), our usage of Secretaries and Departments within the Secretariat, our Supreme Court, the presence of a (directly) elected President who commands the military, our military ranks, etc.
Do your people view America differently? If so, how?
Most people think of America as the birthplace of the UN and of space colonization.
Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?
The United Colonies of Earth is based in New York, the most populous city in the United States and former capital of the United Nations. It stands as a heartland for federalism and international cooperation, two elements which have also led to the UCE as it is today. Many terms for, and procedures within, government originate with the United States. The bicameral nature and name of the UCE Congress and the power the General Assembly has over the funding of all government organs are also Americanisms.

[Appalatchia]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?

America in this universe starts to diverge around the 1950s. The Civil Rights movement is resisted violently and ultimately not fully successful, Vietnam is even more of a failure than it was IRL, enveloping the entire region and becoming as deadly for US troops as World War II. The result of which is that the USSR essentially wins the Cold War (although Korea does reunify as a capitalist state). JFK is still assassinated, and the US seems to careen towards a 2nd civil war.

This civil unrest also makes the labor strikes of the 1950s-70s much more violent, with striking miners and factory workers being killed by the hundreds. It is around this time that an Appalachia secessionist movement begins to form, and they make their move when the 1973 declaration of a new Confederate States (consisting of the same states that made up the original CSA minus Virginia, NC, and Texas - which itself declares independence) creates nationwide war and chaos. Independent California, Cascadia, Deseret, and Lakota states also rise up at this time. Hawaii and Alaska also secede.

The US, unable to hold off the Confederacy and the growing regional independence movements, strikes peace in 1981 and essentially the country is balkanized, with the remaining territory becoming a rump state.

How does your nation's government view America?

Appalachia gained its independence mostly peacefully, sticking to protests and sabatoge rather than outright warfare (mostly due to a lack in capability). As such, it has one of the friendliest relationships amongst the breakaway states with the US, although it is still a bit lukewarm. There is a robust trading relationship, with the US being Appalachia's largest trading partner. The Confederacy does not recognize Appalachia's independence and claims about 1/3rd of its territory, close relations with the US helps protect Appalachia from the Confederates trying to enforce that claim.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how?

That depends largely on which side of the issue you were on in the 70s. Most people who were workers, miners, etc. have a pretty negative view of America in general and state governments in particular, on account of the government sending in police and military to kill labor protesters. Although it's sort of a beat dog and not a threat to their safety.

There is a small movement, although it is not very organized, of people who wish to rejoin the U.S. These numbers have fallen off a bit as people get used to post-independence life and the rump United States struggles economically. It isn't that uncommon to see people flying the American flag in front of their homes.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?

It's all pretty much in the above explanation. Many view America as their old oppressors, others, including many veterans of World War II and the Asia war, consider themselves proud Americans and think that secession was wrong.

[Stalenhag Sweden]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? The United States fully declared war against the Communist Northern Vietnam in our universe, and ultimately lost in 1976 following public and international outcries against the war. The country admitted defeat and following a full military withdraw from the country, allowed the North to overtake the South.

The United States did not land on the moon in 1969; however, they still succeeded in winning the space race against the USSR as they managed to land on the moon in 1972 with the assistance of the Swedish Aerospace Division, a fact they hardly ever admit to.

The United States had a large boom in the mech industry in the late 1970s, and unlike Sweden still uses them in the military and in general commercial use. US produced mechs are often considered shoddy and inferior to Swedish produced ones.

The United States and the USSR maintain a stable yet hesitant relationship far into 1995. However, the threat of nuclear war still lingers between the two nations and the Cold War has not yet been officially ended.

How does your nation's government view America? The government maintains a healthy trading relationship with the country but does not usually interact with them any farther than that.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? The people of Sweden usually have a negative view towards the country, considering their culture, government, and ideas inferior. In a 1994 survey, sixty-seven percent of citizens stated that, given the choice between immigrating to the US or the USSR, they would choose the USSR.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? Sweden chooses to hold economy as its highest priority and so maintains a healthy relationship with the country, while America's denial of Sweden aiding it as led to many Swedes to hold grudges against the country and its people.

[Gandoor]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? No, we're just a few years ahead of the RL timeline (literally we're 2021). I won't say who won this OOC year's election because it doesn't really matter to my canon.

How does your nation's government view America? The government of Gandoor maintains a slightly cold relationship with the United States. We will trade with them, but we prefer to do our business with other countries over them.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? Citizens of Gandoor generally have a just slightly negative view of the USA, viewing them as being "a bad form of a country" and "military aggressors", among other things.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? While both Gandoor and the USA are democratic states that guarantee their citizens many of the same rights, it's mostly economic and social things that cause the difference in views. Gandoor is much farther to the left socially and has the official state ideology of market socialism (and while it has famously been said that capitalism isn't Gandoor's enemy, the "cut-throat capitalism" of the USA is viewed poorly by most in Gandoor). In addition, we are an ardently pacifist nation and have only engaged in an international war once, so the USA's constant military interventions is viewed with disdain by the Gandoorese government of people.

[Bohari]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?
Oh, yeah. The US is still a huge power, but lost some of it's achievements to Bohari. Like the first man on the moon. The United States also sold Hawaii, not the Boharian Pacific Territories, to Bohari in 1980 to pay off twenty years of debt. That debt came from buying gold and information technology from Bohari instead of Japan.
How does your nation's government view America?
America is considered an equal partner in terms of military and economic strength, with culture similar to Bohari's. America's culture is more or less the same, though. Just not AS proud.
Do your people view America differently? If so, how?
Many older people view Americans as slackers and mooches due to all of the debt in the 60s and 70s, but the modern generation views Americans as regular old people.
Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?
Due to over 50 years of relations, America aiding in Bohari's rise to the world stage, and their assistance in the Boharian-Sudanese War.

[Alyska]

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how? It is exactly the same in our universe, except that it doesn't include Alaska, because that is the space that we occupy.

How does your nation's government view America? Our government has had a very close relationship with the United States since the very beginning of our existence as an independent state.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how? A majority of the population views the US positively, and supports our government's continued military alliance with the US, but a vocal minority advocates adopting a position of neutrality with regard to the US, or even aligning with Russia against the US. Our position towards the US is inextricably tied to our stance towards Russia. To understand why that is, read the explanation below.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do? Basically, in our timeline, the United States never purchased Alaska from Russia, and we are the remnant of Tsarist Russia that the Soviet Union was never able to gain control over after the Russian revolution. We were able to hold off the Godless Bolsheviks maintain our independence, in large part because the United States didn't want to see Communism gain a foothold on the North American continent, so they provided us with generous economic and military assistance which allowed us to maintain our independence, which has earned America the gratitude of our government and a majority of our people. Our views toward Russia are...complicated, and our conflicting views towards Russia stem from the fact that it is the nation we won our independence from. Basically we aligned with the US against the Soviet Union during the cold war because we were founded in opposition to Soviet Communism, but by and large we viewed the Russian people as oppressed and deceived brothers and sisters. Fast forward to the 1990s. The fall of communism and the breakup of the Soviet Union revolutionized our relationship with what many of our people still called "Mother Russia" and for a time there even was talk of possible reunification. However, after the year 2000, Russia's increasingly belligerent foreign policy gradually alienated it from Alyskan public opinion, and the gradual deterioration of US-Russian relations put us in a difficult position vis a vie Russia because we continued to be closely aligned with the US. However, a farely large minority of Alyskans are sympathetic to Russia. These include ethnic Russians from the former Soviet Union who immigrated to Alyska in the 1990's, but also includes many longer-term residents, especially from the lower classes, who feel alienated from the cultural and economic elites in Alyskan society. These sentiments have become conflated with the sense of grievance felt by some full-blooded Slavs towards racial and ethnic minorities such as native Alyskans and recent immigrants from Asia. This has fueled the growth of right-wing populist groups, some of which are suspected of being fronts for the Russian Security Services.

Is your version of America different from its real-life counterpart in any way? If so, how? As already mentioned, it is exactly the same, except that it doesn't include Alaska.

How does the world's governments view your America? Um, pretty much the same as they do in real life.

Do the world's people view your America differently? If so, how? Ditto.

Why does the world's government and people view your America as they do? Um, the answer to that is very complicated, and could take volumes.

Is America different in your nation's universe in any way? If so, how?

Hard to say. The Synkom traverses much of DHQ-651 and has encountered a multitude of American iterations, none regarded as one single true America and only different reflections and iterations of the same heptapeiral culture and power role.

How does your nation's government view America?

Depends on the iteration. A few iterations got edgy and tried to bomb the Synkom during the Tropoljean war, but their planes were promptly shot down and the pilots flayed alive, beheaded and quartered on live television (because nothing is better than ironical edginess), and to this day the government still has no chance of reconciliation with them (if they are even heard of again). Other iterations were rather cooperative and friendly and of course the Synkom treats them back as such, perhaps a Category C membership would suffice.

Do your people view America differently? If so, how?

Depends on the constituent nation. For the mainland alone, Srbica has an unspeakable hatred, Khrovatska has a cultural admiration but not so much politically, Jinfang regards most Americas as worthy commercial rivals, Shetavs view most of them as arrogant yet failing giants whose days are numbered and Belotina, being the fascist hellhole it is, propagates opposition to hedonist, consumerist culture of most US iterations.

Why does your nation's government and people view America as they do?

Iterational differences, as well as that most don't have an idea what the government is actually trying to do (they're controlled by memetic cyborg aliens of course the people can't comprehend).
