America is the land of plenty and liberty.
Now it is neither.
In the twilight of 1951, America is a rotting corpse. Beset on all sides by hostile nations and weak allies. The once prosperous states of the Midwest are now decimated following the aftermath of the third great dustbowl and the second Canadian and Mexican war. The jobless farmers fled into the cities of east and west coast causing the economy to crash and trigger another Great Depression. Poor stagger down the streets begging for cash for their children only to be ignored by the apathetic crowd. The states of the Great Lakes suffer from the worst of capitalism. Any social progress made after the industrial revolution no longer exists here. Workers face the most dangerous of jobs and twelve hour work days for only a few pennies to survive on. Once used up the workers have their property confiscated and they themselves are cast into eternal poverty.
The Second Canadian war has destroyed much of New England the third Mexican war has ended in utter failure for America. Despite marching into Ottawa and Mexico city the US had lost too much. In both wars, a year apart, a million young men have died and millions come home to a nation they cannot recognize anymore. The most extreme of the political parties felt their ranks swell as a massive economic war engulfed the world. Stocks dropped overnight and hundreds of Companys collapsed releasing hundreds of thousand employees into the wild. Beggars flooded the streets and calamitous poverty gripped the land of liberty.
During the second Weltkreig America remained neutral as France and the Kaiserreich battled each other in Africa, Europe, and Indochina. Despite the pleas of calls from its ally, the Kaiserreich, it ignored instead they turned their influence to China and Japan. It ended in disaster as the two nations banded together and smashed an American merchant fleet as it entered Korea.
All this while the Government did nothing. Locked in endless debates, councils, communities, and petty political rivery the once efficient government of the United States had come to a grinding stop. Desperate to prevent new and radical parties to usurp their position of dominance the biggest political parties dabbled in election fraud ensuring that their candidates got put in lofty positions. This had been going on ever since the founding of America but so blatant this time that the public was enraged.
The cutting point of all this tension was the 1952 elections. Three parties emerged to dominance. One was the politician Huey Long of the National Socliast which promised a strong central government and to root out the corruption of Washington. He received heavy support of the nationalist of the south and midwest. The next was Bob Reed of the Communist party who promised rights for the workers of the Rustbelt and Socialist policies to improve the lives of the poor. The third was James Phillips of the Christian Democrat Party who promised reforms for the midwest and east coast. He is barely popular and only secures popularity from the West coast promising special economic rights.
Riots and shootings now engulf the nation as the elections begin. The national guard is overwhelmed and there appears to a rivalry between the south and northern states. To the east, the farmers and Liberal states feel more detached and separated from Washingtons and the poverty gripping the nation. Militias sprout up in the countryside and terrorize people into the vote. They have come into combat with America's armed forces and have declared war on the government. Rumors of succession float about in the least federalised states away from the prying eyes of Washington and anger is at the government is at an all-time high.
America is on a collision course that will define the world's future.
Note: This used to be an old thread that I made that died because I was sick. This while based on the world of Kaiserreich IT IS NOT KAISERREICH.
This is the OOC and Intrest thread of my soon, updated, exciting, and released RP "The Second American Civil War"
The summarise the world it is set in.
The Kaiserreich (German Empire) has won the first Weltkreig at great cost but has received great rewards. It saw a great era of prosperity not caring for the newly communist states of France and Russia. But in the later 1930s, a massive economic crash gripped the Kaiserreich. Soon seeking revenge for the First Weltkreig and seeing the weakness of the Kaiserreich the French declared war on the Kaiserreich to reclaim lost. America, It's an old ally from the first Weltkreig, refused to help the Germans. Germany won the war against France but lost many Eastern lands to the Russians. Asia has rebelled against the European overlords and joined the Kiev pact. Germany lost many colonial lands and an economic crash nearly destroyed it. Now they have recovered in 1951 and are positioned in a cold war against the Kiev Pact.
And America is stuck in the middle.
