(Work in Progress) The Commonwealth of Free Federal States, commonly called the Federal States or West America is a democracy which stretches from Western North America to Northern South America. It’s territory is 1,829,809 mile² (2,944,792 km²) with a population of 151,874,147 people as of the 2015 census. The Federal States shares land borders with the United States, Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Brazil, and the British overseas territory of Suriname. Territory governed by the Federal States includes the entire Mexican Cessation, northern Mexico, Veracruz, the Yucatán Peninsula, Jamaica, Venezuela, the two Guyanas, and every Caribbean island except for Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. The Galápagos Islands is the only overseas territory which is not a state. Because the Federal States controls so much territory, it’s geography varies greatly depending on the region. Because of its proximity to the Equator, the Federal States is largely devoid of snow except for in the northernmost regions and the Rocky Mountains. The climate is warm for most of the year, though not necessarily dry.
The Federal States won independence from Mexico in 1840 after East American settlers in California and Texas rebelled. The Federal States acquired massive deaths of Mexican territory, supplemented by the Veracruz purchase in 1850. West Americans at first intended to request East American annexation, but changed their minds after the violent events of Bleeding Kansas. Following the American Civil War, the Federal States drew closer to the USA and established a strong relationship which continues to this day.
The Federal States became a global power by establishing colonies in Africa during the 1800s and taking Spain’s Caribbean possessions after a disastrous Spanish invasion in 1906. West Americans fought against Germany in both World Wars, reinforcing the relationship with the United States. The Federal States was a founding member of both the United Nations and NATO. During the Cold War, the Federal States was renowned for diplomatic skill and being able to stop allies and enemies alike from making drastic mistakes. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Federal States was still considered a global power despite losing all of her colonial possessions during the Cold War.
Today, the Federal States is a major cultural, economic, and military hub. Its people are dedicated to democracy and tolerance, and they are fiercely patriotic. The current administration is very centrist domestically, and takes a carrot-and-stick approach to international affairs.
