Earth Humans (EH), officially known as the United States of Earth Humans (U.S.E.H. or USEH), is a country composed of 13 states, a federal district, and twelve major self-governing territories. The capital is The Citadel and the largest city is New York City. All of the states and territories, except the state of Mississippi, are comprised of former states of America that are located east of the Mississippi River.
Earth Humans emerged from the states east of the Mississippi River in the United States of America. With {George W. Bush losing the popular vote in 2000 but still winning the electoral vote, this caused upset amongst the citizens as they believed the system let them down. This led to a revolution which eventually turned into a War of Independence among almost half of America. The war was declared on November 8, 2000, the day after Bush was elected and ended when the United States of America officially recognized Earth Humans as their own country on November 8, 2018. The war lasted for exactly 18 years, making it the seventh longest War of Independence recorded in modern history.
On January 6, 2019, the constitution of the Earth Humans was ratified and implemented, which establishes the basis for federal law within the Earth Humans. On January 17, 2019, a special election for the Acting Government was held. Michael Saunders, who ran unopposed, won the election to become the Acting President, he chose Aubrey Watts as his Acting Vice President. The terms for the Acting Congress will end on January 3, 2020, while the President and Vice President's terms will end on January 21, 2020.
History
Earth Humans emerged from the states east of the Mississippi River in America. After an upset victory in the 2000 presidential election, an eighteen-year revolution and War of Independence rocked the nation. The leaders of the revolution claimed the reason for revolting was 'to establish a country without Capitalism and no Electoral College but keeping the ideals of freedom, justice, and democracy.
Within twenty-four hours of Bush winning the election, local militias formed across the eastern states of America. Over the next eighteen years, the leaders of the revolution created a temporary government and sent a declaration to the United States of America outlining why they were revolting and what measures would be taken to achieve Independence. In the declaration they claimed to have complete control of all the states east of the river, stating "These territories are now under the control of our temporary government, we hereby declare these territories are no longer bound to state or federal law, constitutional law, or any other type of governance from the United States of America. Our new government will protect these territories from any type of invasion from America or any other country at whatever costs necessary. We hope though, that this war is as peaceful as can be. We do not wish to act with malice but rather be acknowledged as an independent country so we can focus on creating a permanent government. Although we will keep fighting for independence regardless of how long it takes."
After a long battle, on November 8, 2018, the American government formally acknowledged Earth Humans as their own independent nation. The president of America met with the government officials of Earth Humans and signed a 100-year treaty stating the American and Earth Human government would not attack each other's nations but rather become sister countries, vowing to protect any enemies that try to invade. Also at the meeting, the American Government signed two acknowledgments; the first acknowledging Earth Humans as an independent country and the second acknowledging the twelve states, federal district, and fourteen territories. The second acknowledgment had one stipulation for the territories, the Earth Humans would have "ownership" of the territories but they must remain under American Federal law until the Earth Humans elected its first official president, meaning the territories could implement territorial laws but the laws must meet federal law requirements of America.
On January 17, 2019, Michael Saunders of the Liberal Party won the popular vote in a special election held to determine the "Acting Government" that would start to establish the country under federal and state laws.

Type of government
The United States of Earth Humans government is classified as a federal presidential constitutional republic.
The federal system of governance is combining a general government (the federal government) with regional governments (the states). Meaning the federal government, i.e the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, have complete control over federal laws and how they are enacted. Federal law will always supersede over state law. Federalism is mainly described as a federation of states or unions.
The presidential system is a democratic and republican system of government where a head of government leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch. This head of government is in most cases is also the head of state, which is called president.
The constitutional system is "a complex of ideas, attitudes, and patterns of behavior elaborating the principle that the authority of government derives from and is limited by a body of fundamental law."
A republic system is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter", not the private concern or property of the rulers. The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited but are attained through democracy, oligarchy, or autocracy. It is a form of government under which the head of state is not a monarch.
The federal government is a federation of states, the presidential system is where the head of state is elected to the office, the constitutional system is what sets the basis of laws for governing, the democratic socialist system is the banning of the economical private industry, and the republic system ensures that the issues within the country are dealt with publicly rather than privately and that all citizens are represented fairly.
Parties
The Earth Humans operates under a three-party system. For elective offices at most levels, state-administered primary elections choose major party nominees for subsequent general elections.

The President and Vice-President are elected through a direct popular vote, unlike the USA using an Electoral College. The liberals are considered far-left while the conservatives are considered center-left and the independents are described as meeting in the middle of the other two parties but mainly covering the whole leftist political spectrum.
