Federated American States

North America

Government

The Federated American States is all that is left of the old USA. Washington D.C. remains the Capital. The government of the Federated States has become an Oligarchic Democracy, with prominent business leaders and old aristocratic families taking the positions of government. The rules are designed for a more republican government, but the reality is that money and prestige dominate the elections. National leaders read like a who's who of the major political families of the FAS.

Energy

The coal mines of the Appalachians have been re-energized with the loss of the oil fields of the Dakota's and the west. The push for coal to oil refineries has become overwhelming. The first year of the war pushed the FAS to the brink for lack of fuel. If anything, this factor pushed for the defeat of the FAS by the Western Alliance more than anything else. By the third year of the war the FAS had become a major purchaser of oil from Russia and Middle East once more. The North East is once more a thriving ground of production, with Georgia and Alabama becoming the shipping capitols of the FAS after New York.

Effects of the War

The main battles of the Civil War happened in Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, and Tennessee, though there was much skirmishing up and down the Mississippi river. The fact that there are no bridges left crossing Old Man River except the I40 bridge at Memphis is testament to the violence that rocked the Great Plains. East St. Louis has once more begun to grow as a western port of the FAS. There is an uneasy truce held in place by the four (Federated States, The Louisiana Neutrality, The Republic of Texas, and The Western Alliance) factions now controlling the former United States.
