Geography: Similar to that of the United States of America (exp. Nuclear Crater where Seattle Washington used to be).
Government: Confederation of Soviets (Workers Councils)
After the Great War of the Korean Peninsula and the annihilation of North Korea by NATO forces. The United States of America had an enormous debt. In 2029 4,500,000 jobless people marched on Washington. This protest was put down by the US military killing more people than at Tinemen Square.
The people were disenfranchised with the corrupt and very, very, pro-business government and were sick of the massive bailouts (makes the trillion dollar bailout look like the lemonade stand bailout.) payed with money the government didn't have. They were sick of the long string of wars that had been fought since November 2001. In 2029 they decided to act. With weapons purchased from China they began to revolt. The US Government turned to the President and gave the final necessary "emergency power" to turn the US into a dictatorship.
The new US government used a nuclear device on Seattle Washington, the base of operations and the largest group of revolutionaries. In the end everyone was killed but, the General of the Armies in America happened to be from that area. When she heard of what happened there she joined the revolutionary cause. With the intellectual Hideki Kondo and a large portion of the US Army on their side a true revolution took place.
The revolution finally ended on June 6th 2030 when the Praetorian Guard stormed the emergency capital at 400 Acres Country Club (really a cold war era nuclear bunker). With most of the population killed of evacuated to a break off state in Alaska the remaining people set up of a Soviet Confederacy.
The rest as the say is history.
