0 - Federal District (FD)

Population: 814,789

In 1949 the United States Federal Government established the Federal District as the capital after the Alliance of European States smuggled a 100-Terajoule (24-Kiloton) nuclear bomb into the United States and detonated in front of the Capitol Building.

All US Government facilities were built into a vast fortified complex into the Newtonian Mountain (named so after President Robert F. Newton, who was in Office during the War). This includes the Congressional Hall and the Supreme Court; the Executive Manner was built on the mountain, but most of it is underground, and it's connected to the Newtonian Complex via tunnels.

Newton City is built into and around the mountain. The Inner City, as the portions in the mountain are known are divided into three sections; the Outer Section, where typical civilian activity and business is as any other place; the Government Section, which civilian access/tourism is permitted but with restrictions; the Closed Section can only be accessed by authorized individuals.

Outside of the Inner City, most buildings tend to be built partially underground out of fear of another nuclear attack on the capital.

US Political Parties

Major Parties

Whig Party: Favors a more powerful Federal Government.

Barist Party: Barism, established by Robin Baris, favors a completely centralized economy. They believe that essential services (food, medical, education, transportation, etc) should be operated by the government.

Democrat Party: The Democrats prefers more powerful state and local governments and a weaker Federal Government.

Autonomous Party: Prefers limited restrictions by government on business.

Liberty Party: Believes in limited government intervention in people's personal lives.

Notable Minor Parties

People's Party: Based on Rahnerism (established by Peter Rahner), it supports a more extreme version of the Autonomy Party's ideals. Instead of merely giving power to local governments, they propose giving it directly to the people. All laws and decisions should be made by the populous. Furthermore, they propose a separation of Public Laws and Private Laws; all property owners have complete authority to do as they please on their property.

Moralist Party(Formerly Muraist)' Based on a novel by Japanese-American author Christina Murai, members of this party proposes a society of absolute order under the government. Everyone would receive what they need to survive, and no more. Citizens would live in towering apartment buildings to minimize usage of space, and everyone would be employed. Extreme population control, while forced euthanization would remove the elderly and disabled.

International Relations

Alliances

United Americas Defense Organization

A defense organization, founded in 1940, spanning North and South America, to defend the Americas from invasion by Politisa

The United States of America, Kingdom of New Albion (Canada), Empire of Brazil, and Argentine Republic are the key members of this alliance.



Conflicts

Second Great War (1943-Present)

The Second Great War is a conflict between the United Americas Defense Organization and the Politisa. The two sides agreed to a ceasefire in 1952 following the detonation of seven nuclear weapons between 1948 and 1951.

Since the Ceasefire both sides have engaged in an arms race, and the threat of all-out nuclear war remains a constant threat.

This project is obviously an expansion of this one. This one is not, by any means, close to being complete, but it's enough for me to showcase it here.

Although I'm only posting constitutional amendments 13-35 due to not being like OTL, I will develop information on every state, including those without different borders. This is mostly due to different population figures and politicians.

Still to do;
-Complete the list of largest cities.
-Finish demographics data.
-Complete lists of senators and governors, and add representatives.
-Develop information of major parties.
-Brief information sheets on certain cities.
-Brief information sheet on relations with ATL nations.

(I decided to divide the subjects into multiple posts.)

 

[HarrisonBergeron]

Your alt-16th amendment isn't going to happen, is it? Not with the whole of Mexico in the way. The 17th is already taken care of by the 1st. The 18th can't really happen, either. I love the 19th and 21st, but the 20th and 29th make no sense. The US would be even more expansionist TTL, wouldn't it? How did the 23rd and 27th get passed without a Marxist government in power? Regarding the 32nd, marriage is not a right–predefined by US law or otherwise–simply an ability. The 33rd is a very interesting take on the matter, and the 34th makes… a fair bit of sense. I never thought about legally defining a minimum weapon energy output. Not a fan of the 'secure and luxurious housing' clause, though.

Neat stuff; can't wait for more. One more question; how did you determine the split between native and Caucasian in the demographics? Did you pick a dividing line in the old Spanish casta system and put everyone above it in C and the rest in N? It may be more work, but splitting out "Hispanic" from both groups might make more sense.

Your alt-16th amendment isn't going to happen, is it? Not with the whole of Mexico in the way. The 17th is already taken care of by the 1st. The 18th can't really happen, either.

I did remove some that seemed a little unrealistic, although some are more justified. The 16th and 18th are gone.

I left the 17th (now 16th), as there was a proposed for such in otl. Plus the 1st only prohibits Congress from establishing religion.

20th was moved to 1956 (now the 26th). I do think the US would eventually slow down due to becoming overburdened.

The Barist Party is the same as the Marxist in OTL, and has a stronger influence in the United States than OTL.

Even if marriage shouldn't be defined by law, it has been in the past.

As for the 34th's housing clause, I suppose it could be removed.

As for the ethic groups, It seems likely that white Hispanics would be under the same category as other whites while Mestizos would fall under native or mixed.

I'm sort of working on this again.

I removed the demographics data since it was clear that it was poorly done. I also decided to add the top city and capital, rather than the five largest cities.

I added descriptions to the Federal District and Mexico State. Not all states will get descriptions beyond basic data, just those I find interesting; mostly those either not part of OTL US and/or have had their borders altered from OTL.

More details about Alliance of European States could be awesome.

More details about Alliance of European States could be awesome.

I may create a thread for it at some point, or allow someone to work on it in a sort of collaborative thing. Though, I imagine the members of this Alliance being closer to Nazi Germany in nature.

I will give hints to it in this thread, though. There is a reason that New Leon is going to have a high Jewish population, for example.
