Description 142 years have succumbed since the beginning of the cold war, for years alienated powers in separate ideologies maintained control of the spheres of influence created with the purpose of retaining power and interests.

With the end of Perestroika in 1991, the United States achieved a degree of stability never seen since the end of World War II. For 20 years, the Pax Americana dominated the 7 continents, ensuring its control over trade routes by uniting ties and diplomatic margins. between nations.

By the late 2010s, it was clear that the United States was struggling again. Most social norms had dissolved under an engulfing wave of competing special interest groups, media-fueled fads, and a superficial overview of the world. The fall of Yugoslavia in 1991 and the establishment of a common European government ushered in the end of the Cold War that had consumed the United States for most of the 20th century. The conflict, however, soon resumed with the onset of the First Central American War after the terrorist attack with homemade thermonuclear weapons to the Panama Canal in 2011 as a consequence of anti-guerrilla intervention policies in the region and the influx of military governments.

The stock market crash in 2019 sent the United States into a great depression. In two years, America was overwhelmed by homelessness, unemployment, and corruption. Many municipal governments declared bankruptcy or collapsed. Controlled by a powerful lobby made up of the intelligence community and wealthy industrialists, the country descended into chaos. Fed up with the government's inability to resolve the crisis, citizens lynched hundreds of lawyers and public servants. As a result of the situation, military units were deployed in the streets to keep the peace.

The United States had officially transferred power to an emergency interim military government. The new military government soon found itself at odds with the FBI, CIA, NSA, and DEA, who had operated with impunity for decades with secret clandestine operations and falsified budgets, greatly damaging the intelligence community and the military position of the United States. United all over the world.

Tensions have risen between China and the United States after a mutated plant virus wiped out Soviet and Chinese crops. American agribusiness crops survived thanks to a new biological counteragent. China accused the United States of biological warfare. This, along with the continuation of Cold War "Evil Empire" policies, eventually led to the US assault on the Chinese MIR XIII orbital weapons platform in 2033. The European Space Agency intervened, resulting in orbital warfare. of six hours between the United States and the European Commonwealth ultimately resulting in the establishment of an uneasy peace that plunged the United States into chaos following the destruction of Denver by an accidentally deflected meteorite.

During the mass confusion many of the Free States seized the opportunity to secede, which led to a massive increase in the rights of the states as a whole. Since most of the states in the Union needed military force to put down riots and armed violence, products of the military reserve were nationalized under the command of local governors.

With the end of the Second Civil War the new military cabinet of the United States again acquired de facto control over the seceding states known as "The Free States" under the pretext of strengthening the nation.

Following Corporate intervention for a de jure annexation, in 2035 the Free States signed a unification treaty ending land conflicts with guarantees to retain autonomy, participate in central government, and remain loyal to military authority.

At the end of 2045, the Third Military Cabinet collapsed, encouraging a gradual return to democracy and the strengthening of civil institutions, accelerating the reconstruction processes.

As a product of the New Cold War in the years that followed, Japan, as a rising superpower, saw its government corrupted by corporate greed as internal powers battled each other for control. Ten years of mutual manipulation and sabotage led Japan to be expelled from the Asian Common Market in 2059 expanding the limits of sabotage.
