Not possible I'm afraid.
You can use Cleveland, Ohio as a place for Canadian people to have taken over I suppose.

(Optional):
Faction/Nation Name: The Enclave.
Faction/Nation Role: OWB.
Faction/Nation Territory: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ezkax ... sp=sharing
Capital City/Faction HQ: The Pentagon.
Population:500
Government: Due to massive personnel and civilian losses in past engagements the Enclave is very small in terms of numbers. At least the Enclave proper is. As the rightful heirs and successors to the United states government they have a sphere of influence that covers the entire metropolitan D.C. area. Despite not controlling the area directly they established a puppet government in the area that keeps the wastelanders there under control. In this government people are relatively free, as long as they obey the wishes of the Enclave.
This is in contrast to how the pure Enclave is ran. The military in recent years has completely taken over governance and allows for no dissent against itself from those it considers “pure”. Most public surveillance is performed by either camaras, robots, or the secret service. Obvious mutants (Such as ghouls, super-mutants) are killed on sight by enclave personnel.
Leaders: President Autumn (Male, 61)
General Frank Horrigan (Male, Unknown.)
Madison Lee (Female, 54)
Dr.Henry, Head of R&D department
National/Group Ideology: Military Technocracy.
Military: Air-Force (50 Personnel): 20 AH-80 Blackfoot Gunships, 6 V-22 Osprey Transports.Personnel count:30 Pilots, 20 Mechanics and support personnel. Used for transportation of troops and for fire-support during combat operations both on the defensive and the offensive these units are instrumental for combat. In addition these transports and gunships are often used to ferry supplies to and from Enclave outposts when merchant caravans can’t be used.
Army Troopers (300 Troops):Enclave soldiers are the main infantry of the Enclave, and are the toughest, strongest, fastest and most well-equipped soldiers in post-apocalyptic America. Their equipment is superior to even the advanced armor and weapons used by the Brotherhood of Steel. Enclave soldiers benefit from professional military training and communication systems that surpass even those used during the pre-war era. These troops are armed with AER9 Laser Rifles, AEP7 Laser Pistols, Winchester P95 Gatling Laser, Rockwell CZ53 Personal Minigun, AT25 Missile Launcher and 25mm grenade APWs. They are all armored using X-02 Advanced Power Armor suits. In addition these troops are trained in airborne operations.
Tesla Corps (100 Troopers): These troops are considered the elite of the American Army in the post-war era. Armed with P100 Plasma Rifles, Glock 86 Plasma Pistols, Plasma grenades, and EPR-057 Plasma Gatling Guns. They are armored with X-02 Tesla variant Power Armor. Like their regular army cousins they are trained in airborne operations.
United States Secret Service (50 Agents): Secret Service troopers are easily identifiable by their unique X-03 Hellfire power armor and signature flamethrower weapons. They are tough, and highly persistent combatants who will not let up for a second in a fight, relentlessly firing their weapon at anyone unlucky enough to come into contact with these fearsome soldiers. They are only considered for USSS service if they have survived and won multiple field engagements as a Tesla trooper. They are armed with M404 Heavy Incinerators, P100 Urban Plasma Rifles, Glock 86 Plasma Pistols, Plasma Grenades and P95 Gatling Lasers. Their armor is the best the Enclave can provide.
Enclave Robotic forces: These forces consist of salvaged and manufactured robots that are under Enclave military control. They consist of 20 Sentry bots, 100 protectatrons, 30 Mister Gustys,150 Eyebots, and 16 Assaultrons. In addition Liberty Prime, a massive robot, is in the Pentagon awaiting deployment.
Major Towns or Locations: Pentagon: Headquarters of all military activity, 3 Workshops.
Washington D.C. Mall: Major cultural center, 2 Workshops.
Raven Rock: Main Research and development area, Main residence for President, 3 workshops
Fort Independence: Major Military outpost, 2 Workshops.
Fort Constantine: Major R&D center, 1 Workshop
Norfolk Naval Base: Largest outpost outside D.C., 1 Workshop
History: The Enclave is not a post-war organization, in fact, it was formed in the pre-war world. It was originally formed by members of the U.S. government who accepted nuclear war as an inevitability. This group firmly believed that the common American (regrettably) had little chance of surviving the coming nuclear holocaust. However, the founders of the Enclave argued, if the "important people" of the United States survived, then the United States could regroup quickly and strike, finishing communism once and for all. By coincidence (war contracts often stationed them at Enclave research facilities) many companies were also spared when the bombs finally dropped in 2077. The first base of the Enclave was... Control Station ENCLAVE, an oil rig off the West Coast of the United States. Operations there were smooth, largely consisting of establishing a technological edge over any forces on the Mainland. It is there that the Enclave created much of its equipment, from finishing development of the Vertibird to creating the remarkable Advanced Powered Armor and subsequent Mark II. However, in 2242, all that came crashing down. The oil rig was destroyed, the Western Enclave crumbled.
On the Eastern Seaboard, meanwhile, US forces stationed around D.C. around the time of the Great War moved underground into the top-secret Site R, a giant and expansive facility to ensure the continuity of the United States Government even after a thermonuclear war. The Joint Chiefs of Staff managed to get into contact with the West Coast Enclave shortly before the latter's destruction. But all was not lost. Led by Colonel Autumn, the survivors of the West Coast Enclave made their way to the D.C. Enclave. In the meantime the JCOS ordered a general offensive topside. The disordered bands of raider groups and mutants stood little chance against even the X-01 Power Armor, and by the time the West Coast Enclave's survivors arrived, the D.C. area was firmly under Enclave control.
In the year 2281 an expedition was sent to the Norfolk Naval base in order to secure it. Once the people in the selected area had been evicted or killed fortifications were set up and solidified. As of 2283 the area still is known as a major trading post for the Enclave.

Name of Character: President Cristian Mckinney
Character S.P.E.C.I.A.L:S: 5
P: 5
E: 5
C: 8
I: 8
A: 3
L: 6
Gender: Male
Age: 37
Faction Alignment: Carolina Commonwealth
Appearance:President Mckinney stands at 5’6”, overall a man of a smaller stature whose figure is svelt and thin. While Christian moves with a distinct limp, only amplified in the use of his cane, he still maintains a certain military manner in his motion. The man’s black hair is kept short and neat, sweeping as it is, and his face is clean shaven. Christian’s skin is tanned, both from his habit of longer walks about the grounds, and his musculature reflects a lifetime of discipline and precision. The man is by no means weak and frail, only softened a bit from his rapid departure from military life and from the forced use of a cane.
Equipment:Character Backstory:
- Three-Piece Suit
- Steel Cane
- .45 Revolver
Born in Charleston, Christian Mckinney’s family was one of fishermen and traders along the waterways, a profession that lacks a good deal of the safety one would normally think it had. Between pirates and irradiated beasts, it was a job of high risk and high reward, along with a job that gained a certain amount of distinction within the local community. His father was well-known for the voyages, a man who always had a .44 on his hip and a cannon on his boat. Christian, as such, felt the pressures to join-up there from a young age, though his attention was drawn elsewhere. The ideas of being at sea, of fighting fearsome beasts and fearsome pirates, that was all well and good, yet across the harbor there always was the Commonwealth Navy, always and forever, the drydocks with the warships, the sailors hoisting supplies to the vessels, Morning and Evening Colors played every day with the bugle and flag, and the marines marching across the waterline, rifles at the shoulder.
Companions: N/A
He would watch them, mind filled with the great stories, with the sailors and officers of the line aboard their warships, all at sea, cannons bursting in every direction and defiant curls of the lip at whatever enemy one might face. Christian became infatuated with the idea of honor, the bravery of the men o’ war an easy equal to that of the fisherman, yet it held the strengths and allure of nationalism, of being a part of something far greater than oneself. Christian’s father found it to be fair, as the man was a supporter of those people who took bullets when he more assuredly did not want to, though the young boy’s mother rebelled against the concept. She didn’t want him to get hurt, didn’t want him to be away from his father’s wing, and pushed back on the idea.
On one night, however, the boy would run away, away through the city streets in the dead of night to a Navy Recruiting Station where he signed his mark. Christian Mckinney enlisted in the Commonwealth Navy at age thirteen as a loader aboard the Alexander Walker, a cruiser then before she was struck and salvaged. The boy did all he could, learning all his could, his hands quick and fast to bring the heavy shells to their destined place in the breech, his back strong and legs just as swift whenever they ran-out at their station. The 75mm cannon became his altar, every motion a prayer that whatever they might be shooting at would stop, whether by surrender or by swift and sudden death.
His hearing, over the course of his career, would be one of the first things to begin to go. Warships of that era had less lovely methods of making sure the crew weren’t concussing themselves to hell and back and, as a loader, Christian was forever near the cannon and recoiling breech-block. While it wasn't gone, only deadened to a great degree, Christian nevertheless learned to generally read lips out of necessity. His balance was impeded just a bit, yet never enough to severely halt the man’s ability to walk. As he grew in age and experience, he would be promoted to Seaman and become instructed in the fine arts of laying on sail, of stowing it properly when needed.
It was hard work, work that never really held much thanks save for the relieved sighs when the cloth was stowed properly and rapidly before a gale that might have wrecked the masts, yet as it stood then Christian was glad to a degree that he was aiding his nation, that he was doing a duty others shied away from, that his was a job that held a bit of meaning in the world. It was prideful, a proud feeling that grew, and the man became capable in his job. He would stay capable until it all was torn down.
Pirates had been prowling the coast, then, raiding settlements that were too small to mount any adequate defense with such rapidity that no relief could arrive in time. All they found, always, were burnt homes, the corpses of a few defenders, and nothing else. The Alexander Walker was dispatched to the region they suspected for patrol and patrol they did. Days turned into weeks, the pirates eventually found in the morning. Christian Mckinney was on the deck then, the pirates opening-up with automatic fire and light cannons. Shrapnel and bullets sweeped the decks, a squadron of fast boat approaching the Commonwealth cruiser with boarders. While the sailors responded in kind, they did not respond fast enough to halt a grenade being lobbed onto the deck. It maimed ten men, Christian among them.
He would be sent-off to the military hospital in Swanquarter, staying in intensive care and losing the ability of his right leg. To this day, Christian walks with a limp. After being Honorably Discharged and finding there to be little else for a crippled man to do, Mckinney went into politics, still wishing to serve his nation. First acting as Charleton’s Congressman in Charlotte, the man has since then climbed the political ladder through his military preference. Building the nation first was, and still is, his goal.

Faction/Nation Role: Regional Power
Faction/Nation Territory: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1edpow ... sp=sharing
Capital City/Faction HQ: Dallas/Fort Worth
Population: Roughly 430,000 souls
Government: Feudal Monarchy
Leaders: His Royal Majesty, King Cornelius of House Comstock, the first of his name, Lord Protector of the Great Lakes, Duke of Dallas, Duke of Fort Worth, Baron of Arlington, etc.
National/Group Ideology: Traditionalism, Jingoism, etc.
Military: The Commonwealth military’s quality varies anywhere from modern infantry to pitchfork wielding hooligan, and everywhere in-between. Typically the richest fiefs, like Waco and Abilene, field the best equipped levies, and oftentimes employ mercenaries or enlist small standing armies. On the other side of the spectrum the poorer fiefs field mobs or lightly equipped infantry fit for skirmishing. All told, the Commonwealth can field roughly 17,000 men. In support, over a dozen howitzers, three dozen logistics trucks, and a few suits of old power armor make the Commonwealth's military a formidable one.
Major Towns or Locations:
Abilene
Wichita Falls
Tyler
Waco
Texarkana
Nacogdoches
Arlington
Longview
Paris
Marshall
History:
The Commonwealth originated as a concept in the mind of a man by the name of Franklin Kersey; a Dallas born Ghoul who’d served in the Army during the Great War and later in the Arlington PD. The Commonwealth was a construct to bring security to the viciously dangerous Texas that Kersey now found himself in. He believed the authoritarian nature of the feudal structure was necessary, given the scope of the obstacles faced by civilization there. He furthermore believed a modified feudal structure could appease the ambitions of everyone within it: the meek would have the safety they craved, and the powerful would rise to the top. But, Kersey knew that the people in Dallas would never bow and scrape to an old Ghoul, so the monarch would have to be an icon; that would require a pretty face, a gift for words, and someone that could be molded by Franklin. He found what he needed in Arthur; a young, urchin in Rawlins.
Arthur and Franklin became fast friends; so when the old Ghoul divulged his plan to create a kingdom, he thought it would be a good opportunity to dramatically increase their standard of living. Arthur and Franklin vanished from the public eye while Franklin taught him to read and fight. He also shared his books with Arthur; who was able to study the great speeches of Old World leaders, the wit of 19th century poets and authors, and the history of monarchies and feudalism. He was then given a nice Pre-War suit and took the name Francis Comstock.
During the course of Arthur's studies; Franklin began assembling an arsenal of weapons on the estate they’d taken residence in, and started finding like-minded men to help him overthrow the city bosses. There were plenty of willing souls, their motivations ranging from disenfranchisement and idealism to revenge and ambition. After Arthur adopted his Francis persona, he and Franklin approached the Bishop of Dallas to seek out his support; offering to make Catholicism the state religion of the Commonwealth, as well as protection.
After securing allies from the established factions in the city, Kersey remained patient; he drilled his growing retinue in proper squad tactics and battlefield discipline. Meanwhile Francis began applying his charms and his lessons in intrigue to suss out the organizations of the various bosses; planting the seeds of defection among their lieutenants and pegging others for assassination. When at last Franklin and Francis made their move, the bosses didn't know what hit them. Kersey's men were better armed, equipped, and trained than the unruly mobs the bosses threw at them and they were outfoxed at every turn. Most of the fractious bosses were slain, defending their streets and blocks, others fled. Those that remained rallied around the mob boss Joseph Byrne who managed to break the momentum of the emergent Commonwealth. Kersey had hoped to push Byrne and his lackeys out of the city, but caution prevailed, he didn't want to win the battle only to lose the war. With the Bishop of Dallas presiding as an allegedly neutral third party, Byrne and Francis brokered a peace that left the Commonwealth in control of most of the city; though Byrne kept his grip on the choicest markets of the city.
The fledgling kingdom quickly expanded, adding several other towns and creating an entirely new aristocracy. These newly minted nobles took to the traditions quite handily. They also took to its failings, as evidenced when the young Commonwealth was nearly broken in two by a scandal caused by Mark Perry, a newly entitled baron. It seemed as if only the terror caused by the nearly supernatural reputation of Franklin Kersey could keep everyone in line.
Since then the Commonwealth has interested itself in greatly increasing its holdings, making its lands safe from malcontents and mutants, and keeping its aged cities together. They assume power and profit will follow safety and security, and take a dim view of anyone who promotes anarchy.

National/Group Ideology:Expansionism, Nationalism, Catholic/Christian Monarchism. Expansion of the Monarchy and establishing trade and economic relations with the rest of the world. Establishment of a economic power along with a military one.
Military: Total: 22,500
12,000 apart of the Army of the Ohio
- 2 Divisions of 6,000 men each. 2 Infantry Brigades each with 4 regiments supported by the regimental and Division artillery batteries.
Premiere unit(s):The King's Old Guard. The Royal Rifles of the Ohio (RRO)
The King's Old Guard are the elite force of the entire military. Handpicked men and officers fill the ranks, from both the Ohio and Pennsylvanian Armies. Basically all are career soldiers. In order to be selected, you must have served in at least one combat tour and have 10 years of military experience. The RRO is not nearly as special, however, are generally among the best equipped of the military. Both of these units receive the best weapons that the Ohio, and the Empire, has to offer. M16s and variants of those are the standard rifle.
10,000 in the Royal Pennsylvanian Army
loosely organized into two divisions of 5,000 per division, however, they operate more on a regimental basis, the division existing only for command authority. Regiments vary in size, however there are a total of 15 regiments with the Royal Dutch Guards as the premiere regiment. the Royal Dutch Guards are equipped with M16s and other high level equipment, but many shortages in supply means that some companies are left without the higher quality goods, and are forced to use lesser quality pipe rifles, hunting rifles and the such.
100 in the Royal Eerie Navy operating 1 sloop of war and 2 small gun boats.
400 apart of the Royal Constabulary the technically autonomous Paramilitary police force that operates as the law enforcement of much of the country and as a paramilitary force if the need arises.
The Armed Forces of the Eerie Commonwealth are joined by the single oath to the King, but are effectively run by the two separate kingdoms. Their officers, training, equipment vary between the two. The Army of the Ohio is the largest and equipped the with the best equipment usually. However, the Royal Pennsylvanian Army can be equally as equipped. The Royal Artillery Corps is decently well armed with several different types of field guns and other mortar and howitzer batteries. There are a total of 15 Ordnance QF 18-Pounder Field pieces. 4 of the BL 5.4-inch howitzers styled howitzers, as well as operating 20 heavier 81mm mortars and several of the lighter trench mortars.
The standard issue rifle for the infantry depend on their unit. premiere units receive the best quality assault rifles, while lesser units are usually equipped with assault rifles, M16s, locally mass produced pipe rifles, and the works. The M2 heavy machine gun is the standard issue heavy support gun. Lighter 7.62 or 5.56mm machine guns are also common as support weapons. Generally, each platoon is supposed to have one support machine gun, but many units find themselves lacking full supply. Each company is also supposed to be issued a stokes trench mortar for infantry support. Again, some regiments lack the full complement to do so.
The basic organization of the military is structured differently between the two armies. However, the more or less operate the same. The Premiere Regiments are usually full-time career soldiers, with the best officers and the most intensive training. However, each recruit goes though a 6-week basic infantry training school (or 8-week artillery school) before being sent to their unit. They are required to serve 4 years as in an active role and then another 10 years in an reserve role, in which they will only report for training one weekend per month in which they keep their efficiency as best as possible in tactical operations, physical fitness training, firearm training, drill, and unit cohesion. At any one time there are two regiments that are required to be on full readiness at any time from both armies, while the rest are allowed to remain in training, drill or at their posts which includes border security.
The Royal Eerie Navy (REN) is decently trained and equipped. They mostly are to protect trading around the Great Lakes and the lucrative fishing industry from raiders and pirates and as a potential first strike option for ground transportation should they need it. They receive 8-weeks of training for ships and are expected to serve for 5 year tours before being placed on reserve units, or shore duties, for another 5 years. This usually involves training of new recruits, handling of logistics, and manning of port defences of Eerie and Cleveland.
The National Constabulary is the national police force. They are the only regular police force and are generally a paramilitary force. They are trained and equipped and stuturced like that of the military, however, they do not have the same authority as that of the military and also training in arrests, local defence, and internal criminal and national security. Their training is also 6-weeks They are much less equipped, with no heavy weapons, and usually only light pistols and a few pipe rifles for their equipment. However, they are decently trained for combat as well as for internal security duty. After the Uprising of 2075, in which the National Constabulary was used more as a the personal hit squad and secret police type unit of the king, the Commonwealth parliament ratified a joint agreement with the legislatures of both kingdoms to strip the power of control of the Constabulary and rest it with the Commonwealth Parliament. As such, they are the only unit in which direct control is not by the king. This allows them to remain "clean" and a independent third party, however, opposition claims of corruption and bribery with the Constabulary and the Parliament are rampant.
Major Towns or Locations: (main) Capital: Cleveland - centre of Head of State, the Ohio Parliament. (secondary) capital: Pittsburgh - the Archduke, the National Assembly. Other major cities: Cincinnati - major economic hub. Dayton- Economic and military hub. Columbus- Academic and learning centre, arts and high class centre.
History: When the bombs fell, millions died in an instant. Millions more died in the fallout afterwards. Most of those that survived did so by hunkering down in various vaults scattered across the country. Those that managed to survive the ensuing fallout above ground slowly began to coalesce in and around certain areas or leaders. The first of these bands to form something resembling a society was in the suburban ruins of Cleveland. A few hardy survivors had managed to start the beginnings of agriculture and the area soon became the “wealthiest” in the area.
But that would soon be short lived, other rival factions soon began to battle for the land and for the city that dominated the skyline behind them. More and more factions popped up and also began to battle it out. Each faction varied in its formation, its structure and in its purposes. Some were mainly defensive, while others were raider factions. However, they all soon battled it out to a standstill along the banks of the Lake Eerie.
Civilization grew at a painstakingly slow pace. That is until something began that changed the whole wasteland forever. The vaults opened. They didn’t all at once, but slowly all the vaults in the area were soon opened and hundreds of new and eager Vaulters moved out and began to settle the land around them, sometimes absorbing or controlling the various factions that existed in and around where the vaults were. The vaulters soon became the ruling class of the area. Some of the wastelanders managed to make themselves into a position of power, however, the Vaulters became the nobility and these nobles organized themselves into their own factions and soon began to fight each other over control of the region. During the Wars of Succession, one faction in particular soon rose to become the dominant force in the region. This was the Kingdom of the Ohio. Lead by the King Walter, they quickly defeated their larger opponents and absorbed the smaller ones, allowing them to maintain a semblance of their own society and control within the Kingdom. They had come from one of the main vaults in Cleveland, a vault that had included a catholic clergyman and a mostly Catholic group of vaulters. As they exited out, they were quick to expand the Faith and their control over the entire wasteland.
The control of the wasteland soon ground to a halt via armed engagement. Most of the Ohio area was subdued, and those that weren’t were usually brought into the fold via marriages and agreements that enlarged their Kingdom without bloodshed. However, their expansion soon came to an abrupt halt. To their East a new and very large faction had rose up and faced off against the Kingdom of the Ohio. Both sides were more or less equal in size. However, the Kingdom of the Ohio managed to win a series of battles that heavily damaged the ability of Pennsylvania. However, the ability of the Ohio to fully defeat Pennsylvania was not there. Instead of conquering the entire Kingdom, the King at that time, of the Kingdom of the Ohio allowed the Kingdom of Pennsylvania to remain as an extent kingdom, however, he and his ruling family would be crowned as both King of the Ohio and King of Pennsylvania. This union became known as the Eerie Commonwealth. In Pennsylvania, the land was overseen by the Archduke and he was in effect the Head of government of the Kingdom over the National Assembly, the legislative body of the kingdom. He swore fealty to the King, certainly, but was given a rather long leash when it came to domestic policies regarding his region of control. In the matters of foreign affairs, all matters were deferred to the King and the Commonwealth Parliament. The Commonwealth Parliament was technically the body vested with legislative power over both kingdoms, but was really vested with little more power than to submit recommendations to either kingdom or to the monarch directly. They had their role and influence, particularly in managing the day to day relations and dealings between each kingdom, and to enact the king’s policies and national verdicts and economic or political distinctions made by the king.
Despite some of these political differences, The United Eerie Commonwealth has continued to expand, and is continuing to look to expand more. They have coalesced as a singular nation, divided yet united together in a single cause.

The Army of the Ohio is the largest and equipped the with the best equipment usually. However, the Royal Pennsylvanian Army can be equally as equipped. The Royal Artillery Corps is decently well armed with several different types of field guns and other mortar and howitzer batteries. Each Regiment/Company usually has a light trench mortar team if they are fully equipped. They operate mostly via horse, alongside a few cavalry regiments, they are usually used for transportation. There are a few trucks for logistics, but the main transportation is done via horsepower. There are a handful of power armour suits, mostly old and reserved for high ranking or important members of the military. however, the level of equipment varies between units and different regiments. As does the training. Some units are very well trained and well lead. Others are much less so, and operate only on a once a month training regimen.
The Royal Eerie Navy (REN) is decently trained and equipped. They mostly are to protect trading around the Great Lakes and the lucrative fishing industry from raiders and pirates and as a potential first strike option for ground transportation should they need it.
The National Constabulary is the national police force. They are the only regular police force and are generally a paramilitary force. They are trained and equipped and stuturced like that of the military, however, they do not have the same authority as that of the military and also training in arrests, local defence, and internal criminal and national security. They are much less equipped, with no heavy weapons, and usually only light pistols and a few pipe rifles for their equipment. However, they are decently trained for combat as well as for internal security duty.
Major Towns or Locations: (main) Capital: Cleveland - centre of Head of State, the Ohio Parliament. (secondary) capital: Pittsburgh - the Archduke, the National Assembly. Other major cities: Cincinnati - major economic hub. Dayton- Economic and military hub. Columbus- Academic and learning centre, arts and high class centre.
History: When the bombs fell, millions died in an instant. Millions more died in the fallout afterwards. Most of those that survived did so by hunkering down in various vaults scattered across the country. Those that managed to survive the ensuing fallout above ground slowly began to coalesce in and around certain areas or leaders. The first of these bands to form something resembling a society was in the suburban ruins of Cleveland. A few hardy survivors had managed to start the beginnings of agriculture and the area soon became the “wealthiest” in the area.
But that would soon be short lived, other rival factions soon began to battle for the land and for the city that dominated the skyline behind them. More and more factions popped up and also began to battle it out. Each faction varied in its formation, its structure and in its purposes. Some were mainly defensive, while others were raider factions. However, they all soon battled it out to a standstill along the banks of the Lake Eerie.
Civilization grew at a painstakingly slow pace. That is until something began that changed the whole wasteland forever. The vaults opened. They didn’t all at once, but slowly all the vaults in the area were soon opened and hundreds of new and eager Vaulters moved out and began to settle the land around them, sometimes absorbing or controlling the various factions that existed in and around where the vaults were. The vaulters soon became the ruling class of the area. Some of the wastelanders managed to make themselves into a position of power, however, the Vaulters became the nobility and these nobles organized themselves into their own factions and soon began to fight each other over control of the region. During the Wars of Succession, one faction in particular soon rose to become the dominant force in the region. This was the Kingdom of the Ohio. Lead by the King Walter, they quickly defeated their larger opponents and absorbed the smaller ones, allowing them to maintain a semblance of their own society and control within the Kingdom. They had come from one of the main vaults in Cleveland, a vault that had included a catholic clergyman and a mostly Catholic group of vaulters. As they exited out, they were quick to expand the Faith and their control over the entire wasteland.
The control of the wasteland soon ground to a halt via armed engagement. Most of the Ohio area was subdued, and those that weren’t were usually brought into the fold via marriages and agreements that enlarged their Kingdom without bloodshed. However, their expansion soon came to an abrupt halt. To their East a new and very large faction had rose up and faced off against the Kingdom of the Ohio. Both sides were more or less equal in size. However, the Kingdom of the Ohio managed to win a series of battles that heavily damaged the ability of Pennsylvania. However, the ability of the Ohio to fully defeat Pennsylvania was not there. Instead of conquering the entire Kingdom, the King at that time, of the Kingdom of the Ohio allowed the Kingdom of Pennsylvania to remain as an extent kingdom, however, he and his ruling family would be crowned as both King of the Ohio and King of Pennsylvania. This union became known as the Eerie Commonwealth. In Pennsylvania, the land was overseen by the Archduke and he was in effect the Head of government of the Kingdom over the National Assembly, the legislative body of the kingdom. He swore fealty to the King, certainly, but was given a rather long leash when it came to domestic policies regarding his region of control. In the matters of foreign affairs, all matters were deferred to the King and the Commonwealth Parliament. The Commonwealth Parliament was technically the body vested with legislative power over both kingdoms, but was really vested with little more power than to submit recommendations to either kingdom or to the monarch directly. They had their role and influence, particularly in managing the day to day relations and dealings between each kingdom, and to enact the king’s policies and national verdicts and economic or political distinctions made by the king.
Despite some of these political differences, the united Erie Commonwealth has continued to expand, and is continuing to look to expand more. They have coalesced as a singular nation, divided yet united together in a single cause.

Until more detail is put into the military section, you ditch the power-armor this will be denied.
Define what his troops are armed with, what artillery he uses, ditch the power armor, actually define what units get what kind of training (if you needed to know what I mean by define the military meant.)
Once those are fixed than it will be accepted.
In addition you need to more accurately describe your claims of land.
And get on the discord so that communications is easier.
