United States of the Pure Americans
Structure
The USPA is based off of a military style structure, with the President as the commander in chief, Generals as governors, and so on throughout the nation.
Public Agenda
Reestablish the true American way
History
Technically a continuation of the former United States of America, founded by a warlord from Virginia who conquered considerable portions of the south before holding an "election" from among his generals that installed him as President-for-Life. Since then, the USPA has expanded to contain a considerable portion of the land east of the Mississippi. Upon reaching the extent of the lands claimed by the Salem Witches, a war was declared that has currently lasted close to a century, with four of the last five Presidents dying either in combat to the north of the border or from curses.
Demography and Population
The population of the USPA is approximated to be roughly 25.000.000, and is not very diverse.
Territories
The USPA control much of the land to the east of the Appalachians and Mississippi River. While they are not exactly under active occupation, there is still some hostility in the conquered city states that had risen up along the Mississippi, as well as in the communities in the southern half of Florida
Military
The USPA is heavily militarized, with almost 2.5 million people in active military service. However, their equipment is heavily scavenged, and as such is only better than that of the Tsardom of St. Petersburg.
Technological Level
The USPA has regressed technologically to somewhere around the mid 1800s. This is partially because of the ban on almost anything learned after 1950, called the Invasion Ban, in an attempt to prevent further incursions by Dragons.
Religion
Christianity is the only accepted religion in the USPA, though the interpretation of the Bible has changed over nearly 200 years of military dictatorship. The clergy is intertwined with the government, and is often used to justify whatever particular actions they are taking. Since the war with the Salem Witchlands, more and more religious figures are endorsing the Malleus Maleficarum as an official religious text.
Foreign Relations
The USPA has been actively at war with the Salem Witchlands for nearly a century, and has only recently made a truce with Motor City regarding raiding and intermittent attacks that had been occurring since their foundation. There is little diplomatic contact with the Lakes Confederacy, due to the dangerous and mystical nature of the Appalachians.
Agriculture & Industry
Many of those who are not members of the military are engaged in farming. There is some industry, primarily mining and small scale steel production.
Trade & Transport
Horses are the primary method of transport due to limited supplies of oil and the generally poor state of roads. External trade is rather limited due to hostility towards their neighbors.
Education
Education for those who are not members of landowning or high ranking military families is fairly low quality, and there are very few public schools, leaving most of the populace educated only in how to farm. For those who can afford the private schools, the focus is on what would have been learned by the founders of the United States, and focuses on classical literature, languages, and philosophy, with some additional math and sciences, but very little that was discovered after the 1950s due to the Invasion Ban.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure in the USPA is limited to stone bridges and rough roads.
