New England, officially the Commonwealth of New England, is a sovereign nation located in North America. New England is bordered by the Dominion of Canada to her north and The Union of Syndicalist American Republics (USAR) to her south. The population of the country is concentrated in its large metropolitan areas. The most populous areas are the New York City metropolitan area followed by the Boston metropolitan area and Philadelphia metropolitan area. The New England hinterland in the northern states have towns scattered throughout the various mountainous and forested regions. Aside from these, much of New England is rural and marked by large national parks and historic sites. New England is a constitutional federal republic with its capital located in New Haven. The largest city in New England is New York City which serves as the nation's economic hub and which alongside the second largest city of Boston serve as cultural and commercial centers. New England has a separation of powers between its Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches.

History

Birth of a Commonwealth

New England had been the Northeastern region of the United States of America prior to the Second American Civil War which saw the downfall of the United States. An interstate gridlock had taken shape in May, 1937 due to the controversial coup d'etat launched by General Douglas MacArthur on April 28th. Despite attempts at negotiations, soon a civil war had broken out between the MacArthurists, Syndicalists, Longists and a movement in the Pacific saw the secession of California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada to form the Pacific States of America. In the midst of the gridlock between states, a meeting between New England Governors took place on June 8th in which the Governors resolved to write a letter to the Dominion of Canada requesting protection during the hardships. The Canadian Government approved this request and sent a military detachment across the American Border on June 16th. Despite orders from General Douglas MacArthur to leave sovereign American soil, National Guard divisions from each of the New England States stood by the decision of their respective governors and the New England states ceased contact with the Federal Government.

As the Second American Civil War began to brew, the states resolved to select a Provisional President who would coordinate state efforts, and Percival P. Baxter was selected to serve as the first Provisional President on June 21st and was to direct coordinating efforts from Boston. President Baxter was granted powers to merge New England State National Guard forces into the New England Defense Force which was mobilized and sent to the New York border to deter any attempts at attacking the New English. By July it was clear that the Civil War was not to be brief as the Federal forces had been routed from the Carolinas and pockets had begun to take shape as Syndicalist militias surrounded federal garrisons in Kentucky and Missouri. Therefore it was resolved that the New English would need to be prepared for the worst. With approval in each of the State Legislatures, a Unilateral Declaration of Independence from the United States was signed on July 16th, and President Baxter called for a Second Hartford Convention to establish an American continuity government in New England. Adopting the American Constitution as its basis, the Hartford Convention carried on until October 31st organizing a New England federal government, declaring itself the Commonwealth of New England, adopting a flag and new currency and concluding with a Halloween Resolution which established New Haven as the 'indefinite provisional capital'.
