I roleplay Sarzonia as being a group of settlers from the United States who left that country to found Sarzonia. ICly, my nation's founding date of 22 March 2004 is our independence day (which I call Founder's Day for a reason I've long since forgotten).

I don't RP our country as having any kind of relationship with the USA, but it plays a role in my country's history.

The United States suffered a brutal civil war in the late 2020s and early 2030s. The divide was between the political left and right, and the whole thing was set off by a Conservative victory in the 2028 election, which caused the Left to finally snap and have the most violent fit they've ever had.

Although the left was eventually crushed and the war ended, it had pretty much imploded the US economy and infrastructure. It looked like the country was bound to splinter apart.

---Yes, in 2028, a Libertarian president was elected who swore to veto everything that Congress did unless a Constitutional Amendment was ratified allowing for a five-year period for states to leave the Union if they wanted to. All of the nations currently in The Liberated States were those that left. (California was expelled from the United States as part of the 28th Amendment, Utah was expelled technically after the Amendment had expired and Walt Disney Corporation forced Florida (now a nation) to get rid of Jacksonville before they bought the state---thereby making Jacksonville (now Jacksoncountry) its own nation.

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

They are not engaged in the middle east at all, and never were, since the Hamidi Empire controls that part of the world. The cold war happened with a third neutral superpower, the Hamidi Empire, who despised capitalism and communism both. Today the Sultan maintains rather frosty relationships to US leaders since the Empire refuses foreign investment. Islam prohibits usury, so western capitalism is nothing the Sultan and caliphe will ever accept. Thus the US usually decries us as antidemocratic barbarians. There were no islamist terror attacks since the Empire keeps a tight lid on people like bin Laden and the Al-Saud clan were eliminated in the 1940s. No afghan adventure for the USSR either, the Hamidi Imperium is a nuclear power and controlls its territory with an iron hand. Somewhat anachronistic, the Empire continues to rule like it has in the 1930s and onward. "Modernization" is seen as somewhat negative, as is modern popular culture. Hamidi hiphop however is popular even in the US, and Islam is a growing movement and threat to capitalist society. Everything connected to it is associated with the Sultan and Caliphe, and while Mustafa VI. is a rather liberal ruler a religion associated with a foreign superpower is closely observed by NSA, CIA et al.
The Us views the Haminid government and state as an anachronism: the Empire stuck in the 1920s.

How does your nation's government view America?

The Great Kaffirs. They live in sin and will fall like the USSR has. Trying to play world police, and failing at it. Just leave us alone already, and stop trying to push your "values" on us. We're fine, siktir lan!

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

The "rebellious" listen to american music, even beyond what officially is acceptable: jazz remains very, very popular in Hamidiye and is the "official" deviant music. Rock'n'roll long time was the way to rebel, today it's actual pop music (since hiphop was widely associated with blacks and Islam).

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

They tried to get us with their capitalism... just like the USSR tried to get us to go communist. Fuck you both, allah ekber!

Is your version of America different from its real-life counterpart in any way? If so, how? The American Revolution was peacefully avoided by an agreement between the colonies and London in 1768, the St. James' Plan, that protected American liberties and self-government and confederated the colonies into a mutual defense pact that also handled relations with the Native Americans.
