The Rim League is a Federal Republic that Lives completely on void ships and Space Stations. It is a Federal Republic situated in the Outer Rim, although it is known to very rarely go near the belt and inner system.

History

In the Year 1776 AD, The United States Of America, The Predecessor to the Rim League, declared Independence.

In 2097, when the Ash Wars Started, The Main Government of the US moved itself into space, protected by a Privateer Group. The two would combine later in 2103, when the Mainland US was destroyed in the Ash Wars. The Capital was the USS Torrens, one of the 13 original ships that would later form the Rim League.

Still 13 strong in 2299, they attempted to ally with Jammuka, only to be forced to fight his fleet in 2312 after the Inner Cordon forced their hand. The Loss of the USS Jamestown at the Battle of The Northwest Star had taught the USA that long-range weapons would be best for a now entirely-spacefaring nation.

In 2351, The USA was declared as criminals by multiple inner nations. They fled to the outer rim, transforming into the Rim League under Admiral-President Jay Marshall. Although his reign would only last 6 years, he had lived long enough to approve the design of the Stetson-Class Ships in 2352, dying later that year. Following the death of Marshall, The Rim League began a losing streak as they continued to retreat further into the Outer Rim, losing all but three ships before finally building a Stetson-Class ship.

For the Next Three Decades, The Rim League continued to build up it's fleet, although losing 2 other of the original ships, leaving the Torrens as the only remaining original Ship. While the full fleet was not fully realized until 2399, a majority of Stetson-Class and Washington-Class ships were built in this time. The Magnus II station was also established, allowing for a faster shipbuilding and resource collection.

In 2392, The Alexander Hamilton, the first and currently only Hamilton-Class Ship, was completed in the John Jay Shipbuilding Yards of the Oort Space Station. Due to the age of the Torrens, The Alexander Hamilton was voted to become the New Capitol of the Rim League, although being stationed on the Torrens Remained a great honor and duty.

In 2399, The Rim League completed it's 122th ship, the Stetson-Class RLS Spirit of Fire.

Foreign Relation

The Rim League is mostly Isolated, although it is an informal ally to Irav and Noria.

The Rim League also maintains an anti-inner rim Policy, embargoing most inner nations.

Social Effects on Politics

The Rim League is heavily socially focused around a sense of Militarism and Nationalism. These factors play into the unofficial meritocracy. As such, The Rim League often Elects leaders off of Military service and National pride, and every President Under the Rim League (Excluding the Presidents of the Precursor US) has done Military Service and be an Admiral.
