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.
