Here are the factions:
The New England Alliance is made up of parts from the
former states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. Members of the New England Alliance are driven and
feel a strong sense of purpose in this war. Though only
comprised of three territories, the NEA has one of the highest
population densities in America. Before the secession, New
Englanders felt that they were not given a representative voice.
The California Commonwealth is made up primarily of the
former states of California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Although
the faction is wealthy in natural resources, most of the
population centers are on the Pacific coast. Typically, others
see members of the California Commonwealth as shallow but with
an eye for color. The reality is they are also creative and
resourceful. Most members of the California Commonwealth see the
war as a battle against restriction and oppression.
The European Union peacekeeping force currently resides in
a single territory made up of the former states of Maryland,
Delaware and parts of Virginia, West Virginia and New Jersey.
After open hostilities broke out, the war compounded the growing
instability in the world due to the loss of such a large and
prolific market. The EU voted to re-establish the union of
states to prevent the spreading chaos. American resentment has
grown since the EU decided to expand its role in the war.
The Great Plains Federation is made up of all, or parts of
the former states of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota, and North Dakota. Midwesterners are usually seen as
ultra conservative, dirt farmers with a stubborn streak a mile
wide. Members of the Federation are still generally more
tolerated and tolerant than any other faction, as they often are
familiar with or were previous members of some other faction.
Pacifica, made up of the former states of Washington,
Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado. The Pacifica
faction came into being as a last resort when refugees from San
Francisco were forced from their homes by Californian militia.
The realization that there was no were to turn forced the region
to form a defensive pact. Often classified as tree hugging,
technophiles with a weak grasp of reality. The reality however,
is that Pacificans see the war as a fight against aggression.
Recent revelations of election tampering by General
Vladekov in Russia, were overshadowed by unrest in the former
US. Vladekov successfully delayed further investigation by
creating an emergency in Alaska using the expanded operations
instituted by the EU as a catalyst. Vladekov's occupation of
Alaska is not supported by the Russian Federation but the
outcome in Alaska may trigger a major political shift for or
against Vladekov depending on your outcome here in Alaska.
Comprised of a confederation of the former states of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi Tennessee and Kentucky. The
Confederacy sees the war as an attack on tradition and the acts
of the other factions are viewed as treasonous. Most see
confederates as backwards or stubborn. In fact, the Confederacy
is quite progressive and other than geography it has little in
common with the confederates of the first civil war.
One might argue that the Republic of Texas was just one
excuse away from existing since the formation of Texas itself.
The Republic is made up of parts of the former states of Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. Though regarded as
beer swilling cowboys, and gun toting rabble. Texans are also
known to live by no-nonsense rules and take a dim view of
traitors and bureaucrats. Texans are ferociously independent and
live just one step away from anarchy.
