History
United States
When the area was apart of the United States of America it was called New York for the Duke of York and the city in the United Kingdom.
September 11, 2001
One of the most horrific terrorist attacks to occur on American soil occurred in New York on September 11, 2001. One that day two of four highjacked planes were flown into the Twin Towers of the original World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, and the towers collapsed. 7 World Trade Center also collapsed due to damage from fire. The collapse of the Twin Towers caused extensive damage and resulted in the deaths of 2,753 victims, including 147 aboard the two planes. Since September 11, most of Lower Manhattan has been restored. In the years since, many rescue worker and residents of the area have developed several life-threatening illnesses, and some have died.
Earth Humans
In 2000, when the Humansian Revolution started, the State of New York provided the most troops to fight the war. When the war deescalated in 2009, after Barack Obama took office, New York state officials focused on writing a new constitution for the future independent country. In 2010 state officials ratified the new territorial constitution which renamed the area to Greenview after a vote took place amongst the residents of New York. This constitution governed the territory until 2018 when Greenview was granted statehood. The current constitution was ratified November 19, 2018, one week and one day after being granted statehood. Greenview was the second state admitted to the Federation
