The Official History of the Name and Nation of the Socialist Union
Neu Amerika was originally an uninhabited land, settled in the sparsely populated region of 'Strong Badia and Environs', founded by vaguely Germanic settlers from the Old Country (OC). At first, the people were happy to be part of the Old Country's Empire, but as a new generation of Neu Amerikans grew up, things began to change. Distance from the Old Country and the resulting long supply line forced them to become more self reliant in order to survive in this new land. As a result, the people became more independent as well, and saw less need for the Old Country as time went on.
Finally, the people, tired of draconic beauracracy of the Old Country and taxes imposed upon them by its Emperor, declared themselves self-sufficient, and thereby independent. Unwilling to allow the Neu Amerikan colonies to leave their fold, the Old Country sent troops of the Imperial Army to put down the First Revolution. However, these troops were summarily overwhelmed by the might of the people of Neu Amerika, and soundly defeated time and again. After four bittter years of war, the Imperials were finally forced to surrender at the battle of St. Pyotorsberg.
After the victory, the Neu Amerikan colonies (seven seperate settlements that had grown into larger colonies) banded together in the provincial capital of Hoskva. The treaty of Nivov had established independence, but the various colonial governers could not agree on a constitution. Some ideas were established, but nothing was written in stone. The First Republic was doomed before the colonial powers could establish a truly solidified country. Each colony then broke off and became its own mini-republic, including the republics of St. Pytorosberg, Hoskva, Krisnov, Yolgagorod, Slutskaya, Vialis, and Frankia.
Eventually, over the course of three decades, two factions formed, one supporting the establishment of a federal republic, the other with ties to the Old Country supporting the establishment of a new monarchy. Both sides clashed in the Internal War, lasting for six years before the Royalists ultimately won. The Second Republic (St. Pyotorsberg, Hoskva, Frankia, and Slutskaya) had suffered from low morale in their forces and untold corruption in their leadership, as capitalists made decisions for figurehead leaders.
Selecting a woman (Queen Katherine I) who had very distant ties to the Imperial family, they established the Kingdom of Neu Amerika, run mostly by the military and aristocratic officers thereof. A century of opression and unprecedented corruption commenced, as the Kingdom allied itself with the Old Country in continental wars not of concern to the Neu Amerikan people. Finally, during the reign of Alexei II, the people had had enough. Suffering crippling unemployment and poverty, and seeing their men sent off to a war that killed almost an entire generation, the people rose up again.
The Second Revolution, or People's Revolution, did not seek the establishment of a morally and financially corrupt republic, which had failed Neu Amerika in the past. Guided by the teachings of Marx, the people rose up against the Royalists to establish a communist state to serve the people. Morgan Mosser, the leader of the Revolution, enjoyed popular support for the cause, and soon was joined by a bulk of the military forces - enlisted men, mostly, with some lower ranking officers and one disenchanted general. Despite their best efforts, the Royalists' corrupt cause was demolished by the tide of the people. Inside the year, the People's Revolution had taken back Neu Amerika for the working man and common people.
Thus was born the Socialist Union of Neu Amerika, or simply the Socialist Union. Each republic voted to ratify the Constitution of the Socialist Union, joining themselves to the new, strong nation. Thirty years after the Union's founding, the Old Country attempted to invade and reconquer their former colonies, as part of a larger effort in their continent. Even in the new region, Neu Amerika was forced to defend itself from Imperial aggression. Early setbacks allowed the Imperials to reach the outskirts of Hoskva and Mosserberg (former St. Pyotorsberg), but the Crimson Army and other armed forces of the Socialist Union pushed them back after a crippling winter. Freezing to death already, the Imperials were utterly destroyed by the might of the Crimson Army. Finally, the Imperials were expelled completely, and the Old Country forced to surrender.
Now, sixty years after that great victory, the Socialist Union, in the interest of national survival and security, has chosen to move to a region farther from the Old Country. To shake off the chains of the past and move into a bright new future. A future of the people's might, led by the Premier of the Socialist Union, to prosper in Atlantian Oceania, home of many mighty nations.
