Counterculture/The United States of America

United States of America (USA):

• Capital: Philadelphia

• 2 major political parties:

o American Party: socially restrictive, fiscally permissive

o Democratic Party: socially moderate, fiscally moderate

• 17 states after Secession War: Conneticut, Delaware, Indiana, Ohio, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, & Wisconson.

• Parts of northern Kentucky are absorbed into Indiana & Ohio at the end of the Secession War.

• 2 more states join the USA during the Northwest Revolutionary War which leads to the FAR: Illinois & North Missouri.

o This lets all four countries have a border with Kansas after the formation of FAR (assuming South Missouri goes to the CSA.)

• USA is puritanical: most freedoms but with censorship, especially regarding sex. No successful socially liberal political party.

• Constant problem with uneducated blacks as illegal immigrants from the CSA.
