A Nation Game of the Balkanised USA​


It is the year 2035 AD, and the United States lies ruined and broken. Washington DC is naught glass and ash, after the detonation of a nuclear device within the city. Exactly which group was responsible is up to debate, but what is not is that it was the last in a long line of events that lead to the shattering of the union. There are many factors posited to explain the long, drawn out demise of the United States. Some say that the financial crises that rocked the nation, first in the GFC and then again in the late 2010s, were the instigators. Others say the costly and deeply unpopular Second Korean War, or ground operations in the middle east, were the start of the decline.

What is important, however, is the length and date of the US' demise. It was not a season of violence and protest - no, it took nearly five years to complete. During that time occurred two crucial factors - the construction by all remaining major nations of effective ICBM-defence suites, and the outbreak of war in Europe and the 'Second Plague' in Asia. This virulent disease was the dreaded superbug - one that had evolved a resistance to mankind's medicine, and saw fifty million dead in a year. It was only through harsh containment methods that the plague was contained - but it still kept China too busy to act on the slow demise of it's most powerful enemy.

In Europe, a conflict erupted between Russia and the European Union. With neither side being able, or willing, to deploy nuclear weapons the war became a conventional one. The EU was disorganised and conflicted about it's strategy, and even about entering the war, allowing the Russian armed forces to defeat Eastern Europe piecemeal. With lightning speed, Russian tanks were rolling into Warsaw and marching on to Berlin. Eventually, with the combined might of the heavily militarised EU martialled under a unified command, the Russians were pushed back from the edges of Berlin, and truce was signed for status quo ante bellum.

It is only in recent times that the eyes of the world have once more been able to turn to the United States, to find a shattered nation ripe for the taking. Divided into squabbling new nation-states born after the destruction of DC, it may not be able to resist any foreign invaders in the guise of peacekeepers. Yet there is a strong spirit amongst these new nations, and with the aid of skillful diplomacy and force of arms, they may yet prosper amidst the shattered dream they once shared.

It is the year 2035, and the United States has fallen. From it's ashes have arisen a dozen new nations, and from it's corpse emits a stench most attractive to foreign vultures.

Technology:

In many ways, the world has moved on from the current day. Even after five years of civil war and unrest, the largest of the successor states maintain arsenals that if not cutting edge by the standards of the former United States, would be acceptable. Across the sea, and it is another story entirely. Russia and European Union throw considerable amounts of their vast financial and intellectual wealth into the development of deadlier weapons of war. With the nuclear missile dead as a long-ranged weapon of war, the focus of the world's militaries has moved away from low-intensity COIN operations and into preparing for an all-out war with their most powerful neighbours. Vast numbers of new tanks and planes roll out of Europe's factories, as the Second Cold War rages silently.

In essence, technology hovers from below 2016 levels to pre collapse (2025-30) levels in the successor states; in terms of military technology. In the Great Powers - Europe, Russia, China, India - military technology is advancing at a rapid pace. Warships and strike-fighters charge into the teeth of enemy guns under a DEW aegis, and the first personal exoskeletons are entering deployment for elite units. The American Taskforces are not cutting edge units, but are the beneficiaries of significant advancement over their expected opponents.

In terms of technology not related to waging war, that's where the situation has gotten a little murkier. Almost all areas of the former US have cell or internet, albeit some only via European or Japanese satellites for the rich. Mobile phones are just as ubiquitous in this balkanised America as they are in our own time. At least, in most places. Where the Warlords rule, some people have returned to subsistence farming and technology that would seem primitive to Africa's most impoverished nations. In the rest of the world, civilian technology lags behind military tech. Some notable exceptions exist - Japan's breakthroughs in fusion tech, China's advanced biomedical tech - but generally, if it can't shoot your enemies or otherwise enable that, it's a bit behind where it 'should' be.

UN SPECIAL REPORT ON COMMON ARMS AND ARMOR IN NORTH AMERICAN SUCCESSOR STATES - 2035

This report is compiled for the UN Security Council and the peacekeeping forces sent to North America to report on the capabilities of the unrecognized states once comprising the United States of America. This strategic overview gives a realistic assessment of the common armaments likely to be used by those states in a possible armed conflict.

All forces must be prepared for the likely use of formerly military-grade weapons even outside of organized armies. These firearms come in several common variations, but will likely change drastically based on local supplies and ability to reproduce the necessary equipment. Many forces will be equipped with semi-automatic and bolt action firearms such as the AR Series, Ruger 10/22, Remington Rifles, Browning BAR and many more. It is not uncommon according to investigators to see a mix of weapons from many different eras using a wide variety of ammunition however, so caution should be employed.
However, among organized military units, the FN SCAR and M16 are the primary weapons, although this is also subject to change. Support weapons are produced in a limited capacity, with heavy weaponry being difficult to reproduce on the level of modern weapons of war.

The production or maintenance of armored vehicles and heavy weapons is very limited however. UN special reporters have found that although the United States decision to install a diesel engine in the M1A3 upgrades has helped improve reliability, these tanks are often found only in limited numbers due to inefficency, cost of maintenance, and simple lack of ability to reproduce parts in most of the country. This proves to be the same with most vehicles, with one exception. Light Tactical Vehicles, produced by the United States to support both armed forces in the Middle East and units at home trying to suppress unrest, have become commonly used by all sides as a cheaper alternative. Those who cannot afford to use Military Produced units will equip civilian trucks and vehicles as replacements. MRAPs, formerly acquired in masses by local law enforcement and United States military units, are also used semi-commonly among the more affluent states.

The situation is even more strained with air support in the unrecognized states of North America. While the United States popularized the F-35 among many states as the next generation Multi-role Fighter, the embargoes levied against supporting the American states militarily and the collapse of infrastructure has made these fighters even more expensive to operate or maintain. While these embargoes have been mostly successful, flyovers suggest that most states use several different types of older aircraft, such as the F-16, Mig-21, or J-7. F-35's and F-22's have been identified in limited numbers across the United States, however the numbers are further limited by the need to cannibalize failing aircraft for the parts necessary to repair the already operational aircraft. Helicopters are also a somewhat common sight, either commandeered Civilian craft or a limited collection of military helicopters. However, the smaller states often use reserve aircraft or civilian models refitted with weapons suited for a ground attack role, given the lack of air-to-air combat in the unstable region.

Naval Assets seem to be quite limited, although the UN Peacekeepers reporting on any craft formerly belonging to the United States Navy did report a majority of assets known to have survived in Pentagon records have mysteriously disappeared from dockyards. Further reports to follow as information is updated.

To: EUSFORNA (Jacksonville) @MasturBacon

Greetings friends. The sucess of your efforts to stablize the Southern states of the United States has not gone unoticed by us here in Ottawa. We will be glad to continue assisting our European friends in anyway possible to make sure your mission is a success.

Secret:

On that note we are kinda sad that not all of the EU is working together as one in this. As one of Europe's biggest partners and ally and considering the other Task Force is mostly British in nature we can perhaps try and mend things between you two. We will contact London if you wish on this aspect.

Secret:

Greetings neighbour. We hope everything is ok between us. We probably didn't get off to the best start but we wish to change that. Your efforts on bring stability to Alaska pleases us. It allows that route of commerce to remain open which is very positive in our aspect. While Russia may have come to blows with Britain in the past Canada has no intentions of trying to expel Russia from Alaska as it is your efforts that have stabilized the ex-state. Instead we offer support in making sure Alaska remains developed as it is. The two largest nations in the world should remain friendly afterall.

We recognise neither until legitimate elections are held though Colorado at this time seems the more legitimate practical choice if it were to come to that.

Mainly support in your efforts to keep LA pacified. While it is true our economy was also hit rock hard we have slowly grown out of the backburner. Plus some old businessman from California would be open to return if the State is really stabilized as it is.

Secret:

Ah yes. Problem is I think both the Colorado and Potomac Regimes seem not too much keen on Legitimate Elections. Hopefully that does change in the future that is our hope. Now we know you also suspended elections for Governorship but we hope that by supporting your Pacification efforts democracy can return to California.

Name: Great Lakes Association
Head of State: Association Coordinator Bill "Goldfinger" Taft
Head of Government: Association Coordinator Bill "Goldfinger" Taft
Type of Government: De Jure, Confederation, De Facto dominated by Association Coordinator
Population: 35 Million
Capital: Columbus, Ohio

Domestic:
Internal Events: While Taft remains hugely popular for creating and bringing the GLA through the crises of recent years, there are some concerns that he is perhaps a bit too wedded to running his creation.

Economic Status:
With the foundation of the bullion taken into protective storage from Fort Knox, the GLA has managed to preserve its standard of living reasonably well, and engages in a great deal of trade both with Canada and other Successor States, exploiting it's industry and position as a transit hub. Several years ago, the GLA de facto adopted the Canadian Dollar as its currency, replacing the defunct US Dollar, deepening its economic relationship with its neighbour to the North, which, despite not formally recognising the GLA, takes its desires into account.

Military:
The Great Lakes Association Forces were created from a mix of former US military personnel, National Guard troops, and new recruits in the wake of the collapse of central government. The foundation blocks of the new force were the training establishments of Fort Knox's 100th Infantry Division, the National Guard's Camp Grayling training centre, and the Naval Station Great Lakes, and the Airforce Logistics Command at Wright-Patterson Airbase, which together allowed the new military to reorientate itself fairly quickly to meet the needs of the new Association, making good use of the large number of defence contractors in Association territory.
The possession of the Lima tank factory, for example, has allowed the GLA to maintain a larger fleet of M1 Abrams than many of its rivals, albeit sometimes with advanced systems substituted for more easily manufactured equivalents, but the Association also makes use of a number of entirely domestically produced vehicles, employing several variants of the Thunderbolt AFV, a wheeled vehicle similar to the Stryker, adapted for ease of production, and capable of high mobility across the dense transport network of the Association.
The GLAF Navy is entirely new built, comprised of vessels launched from shipyards on the Great Lakes, designed to secure those waterways, and the rivers that sprawl across Association territory, and help deploy troops on their shores.
In the air, alongside the core of former US vehicles, one of the signature craft of the GLA is the reborn, modernised Skyraider II, a cheap, easily produced CAS plane manufactured in large numbers by the factories of the Association, and invaluable for patrolling its borders and supporting the ground forces.

Army:
200,000 Personnel
3000 Elite troops, issued with the best equipment, and biochemical enhancements
100,000 Force Reserves (demobilised)
500 M1A3 Abrams Tanks (100 in Reserve)
Units:
1 Special Response Force
4 Armoured Brigade Combat Teams
6 Mech Brigade Combat Teams
2 Amphib Brigade Combat Teams
8 Infantry Brigade Combat Teams

Navy:
20 Scorpion Class Fast Attack Craft
20 Porcupine Class Helo Cutters
20 Crocodile Class Monitors
Assorted smaller river gunboats

Air Force:
300 Skyraider II - Updated equivalent of the propeller-driven CAS plane using modern tech, produced domestically by the GLA
300 Black Hawk Helos
50 Chinook Helos
50 Apache Helos
5 B52 Stratofortress

Mediocre - the agricultural sector is recovering thanks to a good amount of farm equipment being produced in factories within the Federation, massively increased demand for biofuel production due to being cut off from oil imports, and resumption of crop exports to the GLA; many other industries have not yet recovered, however

Operation Apprentice


The US Military-Industrial Complex before the fall was a peerless tool pillar of American power, it equipped and maintained the most powerful force in human history. Sadly with the emergency of the last decade it was all but dismantled leaving a struggling US military bereft of critical spare parts and replacements. California Command was well aware of this crisis and in 2035 at last found itself in a position to begin righting its problem. Many of the state's foremost minds disapeared without a trace and returned slowly in drips and drabs, with new specialised equipment or rather new versions of old equipment and became the backbone of the first rearmament program on the new American continent with the construction or repurposing of multiple facilities with the intention of rebuilding critical military infrastructure. Naturally most of this is incredibly super secret.​

Greetings neighbour. We hope everything is ok between us. We probably didn't get off to the best start but we wish to change that. Your efforts on bring stability to Alaska pleases us. It allows that route of commerce to remain open which is very positive in our aspect. While Russia may have come to blows with Britain in the past Canada has no intentions of trying to expel Russia from Alaska as it is your efforts that have stabilized the ex-state. Instead we offer support in making sure Alaska remains developed as it is. The two largest nations in the world should remain friendly afterall.

To: Canada

From: General Pavel Radimirovich Strelnikov

Secret:

Salutations,

My name is Pavel Radimirovich Strelnikov, I am the commanding officer of the Russian forces in Alaska, and I am pleased to hear such overtures from Ottawa. I believe I must clarify that while Russia and Canada have had their differences historically, it is and never has been a matter of hatred of the Canadian people. Though our two governments have occasionally been rivals in the past, I have come to believe that the Canadian people and indeed their government never shared the same sort of narrowminded fanaticism that divided the East and West during the Cold War. Even during the Soviet period, our two nations often proved quite capable of finding common ground and striking bargains to the benefit of both our peoples. I believe we can again see eye to eye on many matters, perhaps moreso than ever before.

I would be happy to accept any support Canada is willing to offer, trade is extremely important to restoring Alaska to pre-collapse levels, which is one of my duties as the commander of Russian forces in America. I believe that, regardless of any other agreements we may make, that we can both sign an agreement of comprehensive benefit to both of our nations. I believe we can start by restoring direct flights between Canada and Alaska as well as ship travel between Vancouver and Anchorage.* Ted Stevens International Airport is currently experiencing a large amount of traffic from our cargo planes bringing supplies to Alaska, but we could probably work in a few civilian flights every week. The national Russian airline, Aeroflot, would no doubt love to get a nice new contract going with Canada to get travel going again.

On my end, I did have two matters I wished to discuss:

-The first is that I would like to enquire as to the possibility of obtaining Canadian diplomatic recognition of the Russian presence in Alaska. Now mind, this does not mean Alaska would be recognized as part of Russia or as any sort of "sphere of influence" to use a 20th-century term. Alaska's legal status is, like most of the former US, somewhat of a quandary for us, so at the moment we have opted to more or less work within the framework of Alaska's status as a US State, or at least to the best of our abilities. On this matter I am merely asking that Canada grant diplomatic recognition of our presence here. My superiors in Moscow are very concerned about maintaining good relations with Canada and they would be gratified to have a normalisation of diplomatic relations so quickly.

-The other is the Canadian presence in Sitka and Juneau. Juneau was the former state capital of Alaska (though its largest city, Anchorage, presently serves as our provisional capital in the region), Sitka meanwhile is a significant regional port, particularly for the seafood trade. And, if I may add a moment of personal interest, was actually the capital of Russian America during the Tsarist Period. While we do not particularly object to the Canadian presence there as, thus far, it has not been hostile to us, we did wish to enquire as to whether it was a possibility to negotiate for a Canadian withdrawal from these cities so that we may assume administrative duties there. We understand how our presence in Alaska is seen by many in Canada, so I am willing to come to an accommodation if Ottawa is willing to do the same.

On this last matter I wish to make it clear that this is neither a threat nor an ultimatum. Still, I have made my opinion on that state of affairs known, and we can go from there.

*Realistically these would almost assuredly be ended between Canada and Alaska if there was actually a military conflict being fought there, let alone a substantial foreign military presence.*

We would, of course, be willing to open up a friendly relationship with our Western neighbor! We would also be happy to open up trade back between our regions, as well as formally agree on our mutual borders as they now stand.

​
At first glance, the southeast looks like a hell hole. Granted, the riots and unrest that plagued the area of the Formerly United States upon its dissolution made a whole lot of other places look like hell holes themselves. Beneath the riot armor and the smell of tear gas and burning gasoline, there seems to be the general acceptance that a bottom has been struck. The stabilization of the "Gulf Dollar", the full occupation and control of major regional urban centers and the extension of much of the Union government's authority to the country side (excepting regions of Central Florida) has all led to the general acceptance of this "new normal" and the strange and uncertain status quo that has emerged.

The state governments of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and portions of Tennessee loyal the established government in Atlanta, formed a coalition of states now referred to as the "Gulf Coast Union". Dominating the former Southeastern United States, the GCU is still nominally under military control. From Fort Benning, Georgia, a group of ambitious and order-minded generals came together with their loyal forces to essentially form a state from the barrel of their rifles. Asserting their control over local police forces through force, intimidation and negotiation, the "New South Military Command" commenced its occupation of Central Georgia, Central Alabama and North Florida. Continued riots, unrest, violence resulting from clashes between paramilitary forces led to numerous governors to officially invite the NSMC forces to restore order within their territories in exchange for ceding administrative authority to the "Group of 8" generals leading the NSMC.

With the official foundation of the GCU, the NSMC (now the Gulf Coast Army, Navy and Air Force) has taken a back seat in politics. While the Group of 8 disagree over when the time to cede full authority to the civilian administration is (some believe soon... others not so much), generally the civilian government still has a significant amount of soft and defacto powers in running the day to day operations. Currently there are whispers of an impending "Constitutional Convention" in the Union when the internal situation dies down and stability further returns. Riots still have to be occasionally put down, there are still neighborhoods where the police cannot effectively extend their power and have to be backed by army tanks and military police with rifles. But some sense of "normalcy" seems to be approaching on the horizon.​

Internal Events:
  • A new budget is passed by the Provisional Congress, the 98-man congress, hand-picked by the Group of Eight and President Gregory, has elected to focus on reconstructing infrastructure and important utility services. Water, power, heat, plumbing, etc. were all beginning to turn back on, all as a part of President Gregory's "New South Program".
  • Violence breaks out in Charleston following the destruction of a statue of Robert E. Lee in the center of the city by a group of radical Black power protestors and militia. The white residents respond with violence and white militia's clash with black power militia before the police and military are able to restore order.
  • Elsewhere and across the country, the Gulf army forces mobilize in a massive humanitarian mission, and commence distributing food, medical supplies and clothes to those that need them in the aftermath of the chaos. The government pushes an online and print PR campaign to further its image.
