History
The USNA was born out of the ashes of the 4th World War. The world was devastated with nuclear weapons and the United States of America was not spared this destruction. With Washington D.C. wiped off the map and no national leadership the nation descended into total anarchy. General gunny251324 was the supreme commander of US forces at the time and decided to unite the nation. Using military force he put the US under his submission and formed a unique type of government. Seeing as he was the only one who could lead the country and he was a devout advocate of democracy he created a comprimise. This government is called a Autocratic Republic. gunny251324 was named supreme ruler over the US and a new congress was established. In the weeks following the nuclear war it was decided that the capital was to be moved to one of the few cities that was left unscathed by nuclear weapons: San Francisco. Once the government moved to its new capital it was determined that all of the US was too much for such a weakened government. It was decided to abandon most US territory and consolidate into a new nation that would eventually grow to and exceed the size of the former US. That was the beginning of the USNA.

Shortly after its creation the USNA became a member of the North Atlantic Defense Coalition. When President gunny251324 announced the entrance into the NADC he said "this will usher in a whole new era of prosperity for our country." Through the aid and support of its members the USNA is becoming stronger. President gunny251324 has made it clear that the USNA will stay a member of the NADC a long time and will fullfill its obligations to the alliance. When asked how far he would go he said "the NADC has helped our country in its time of need so we will help the NADC and all of its members in theirs."

On Novermber 9, 2007 the USNA recieved a massive influx of cash from a tech deal with the nation of Terlingua and a large donation from Osgiliath. With this extra cash invested the economy of the USNA jumped to the highest point in the new nation's history. Because of this unexpected prosperity gunny251324 made a national statement: "We thank the nation of Terlingua for their part in the technology exchange with our nation.  We also especially thank the nation of Osgiliath for their generous donation.  It is because of these two nations that our prosperity and growth is assured.
