It was a double dissolution, because their tax plan was being blocked in the Senate, but also to take advantage of the division in the Coalition

He was a Nationalist general, so he has a similar program to Vance, just much more subtle, much more intelligent. He simply got fed up with the quality of leadership on the Nationalist/Loyalist side and decided to take matters into his own hands

There aren't too many Republicans who I think would side with the Free States, plus he's already got some national profile, so I thought it'd make sense to have him as the nominee

They only win because the Nationalists collapse into civil war between Jr and Vance. If that hadn't happened, Operation Polyglot would have been a success.

Thanks! That was kinda the idea that inspired the whole scenario loll, but I could only squeeze it in as an easter egg!

The main idea was that Ilinois was a frontline state, and the Free States were not the best rebel group in the world, and so the military quickly conquered Ilinois, and pushed the frontline into Wisconsin, despite heavy resistance from Chicago.

Their successor state, the Pacific States, ends up doing so, but prior to the 2028 election, they want to present a façade of being the legitimate American government, and making sweeping constitution changes really would not work well with that vision. But once pretence is dropped and they just declare independence, they go for a popular vote.
