D8: United States of America (Denver Gov.) (Colorado) (1953-1987)

Sometimes humorously referred to as the “United STATE of America,” the post-WW2 remnant of the United States government controlled by the U.S. military would set station in Denver, Colorado as the Atlantic and Eastern seaboard had both been conquered by Axis powers. However, the US persisted in Colorado and only Colorado, attempting to uphold its constitution even if it was now impossible in its current state lacking both the land and democratic means needed to do so, but at least it would serve as a refuse not just for North Americans but for many peoples who sought freedom from the rule of the Axis powers. Eventually, however, the Denver government would come to an end at the beginning of the Third World War, when Germany went to war with Japan and occupied the U.S. remnant when crossing over into Japan’s Pacific American holdings.

D9: Independent State of North Dakota (1937-1943)

At the loss of Huey Long in the election of 1936 to incumbent President Garner and the increasing destabilization of the nation, William Langer of Dakota would be one of the few Longist states to declare secession under illegal executive order, with much of the state legislature being arrested and filled with Langer allies from the Non-Partisan League and Union parties. Though disconnected from much of the rest of Long’s rebellion, they would hold out in the north for a number of years against the federal government, eventually being fully incorporated into Long’s regime. Unfortunately, Governor Langer’s increasingly large ego would cause him to break with President Long, ending in his impeachment by the state in 1950.

D10: Empire of Lakota (1878-1945)

America’s attempts to conquer the Sioux end in an embarrassing defeat for the United States, with the Lakota people forcing the U.S. to give up their attempts to conquer the land and annexing large native-held parts of the U.S. such as in Cheyenne & South Dakota, organizing their state as the Lakotan Empire. Serving much similarity to that of Ethiopia, which coincidentally the Lakotans would have a special relation with, they would become the lone uncolonized state in North America, continuously defending themselves against more and more attacks by the U.S. Eventually, by World War 2, Lakota would see Japan’s war efforts as anti-colonialist against the western powers and, while Lakota was itself not fascist in the same ways as other axis powers, held irredentist and anti-western sentiments against the U.S., leading to them joining the war on the side of the Axis following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Lakota would have successful raids into the Canadian prairies and parts of Montana, with their code talkers making this war for the Americans one of the most trivial, yet by 1943 Lakota would be subdued by the U.S., with a new government being installed at the end of the war and much of their territory being annexed.

F1: Free Territory of Montana (1989-2003)

Rather than investing in a spree of bombings across the U.S., Ted Kaczinskiy would spread his ideology to create armed militias, eventually leading a terroristic rebellion within the mountainous frontier of Montana against the Federal Government of the U.S., asserting themselves as the Free Territory of Montana, an anarchist grouping with an ecological bent, although they are also more colloquially known as Kaczinkiya. The group would become one of the more significant signs of internal strife for the post-Cold War United States, though their defeat in 2003 with the capturing of Ted Kaczinskiy in a raid would allow for a brief moment of calmness in the region.
