American Republic

The American Republic, more commonly known as the Remnants, is the "official" successor state of the United States of America. However, it continues to be unrecognized by many nations. When Ronald Reagan resigned and essentially dissolved the US, Vice President Bush seized control in Washington and ordered all loyal patriots to flee south, proceeding to shut off D.C from the rest of the world, rendering it a copy of West Berlin. Now with the American Republic finally stable, congressional elections approach, which will decide the future of the former United States.

Early years
The nation was founded after President Ronald Reagan dissolved the United States and Vice President George H. W. Bush fled south, while ordering all still loyal to the old union to follow. Along with these patriots, the Republican Party, proclaimed the American Republic. National elections were put on hold until 1994 and and the term of presidency has been extended to eight years. However at this point the Republic was one party state under the Republican Party due to the cult of personality Bush had gained. In 2002, the Republican Party had once again cemented it's place in the 2002 elections with the new president, Donald Rumsfeld.

Modern day
The American Republic faces tough economic times. With the mass exodus of executives to countries like Canada and the UK, their economy is in shambles. Luckily, the political situation is considered stable.

With the 2010 elections coming up and a collapsing economy, it is up to the American people to choose their next president. Will Rumsfeld keep his ground or will Jeb Bush, son of the great leader take his place? Or is it time to break the status quo and allow new leaders and ideals to step in? Robert Bentley of the Independence Union vows to restore freedom and broker peaceful relations worldwide. On the other hand, David Duke stands ready to claim his share in the game for power as leader of a far-right party based on the belief that the former US land should be swiftly and, if needed, forcefully reclaimed by the reactionary American Republic. The future of not only The Republic, but the entire North American continent holds in the balance.

Politics
While the Republicans are by far the largest Political entity in the Republic, they aren't the only one. Not by a long shot, actualy. The Independence Union, under Robert Bentley , is the most prominent oposition Party , reprezenting a more moderate version of conservativism. The remnants of the Old Democratic party, under Joeseph Biden , are also... well , A political entity , but only a shadow of their former self.
