September Massacre
In September of 2001, the United States of America came under attack by radical Islamic terrorists. The first attacks came by suicide attacks with planes. Two planes hit and destroyed New York City's World Trade, the third hit the Department of Defense, and a fourth plane hit Chicago's Sears Tower. In total, over 5,000 people were killed and over 9,000 injured. Meanwhile in Washington, D.C. a terrorist attempted to set off a Soviet suitcase nuke, but failed when attacked by security officers and some civilians. The government went on to secretly planned attacks on sources of terrorism, those being Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Covert wars began in these nations within days under the control of the Central Intelligence Agency. Armies in the five countries began to weaken and by December 2001, the wars became public and the American military was deployed. Many foreign nations took note of the full preoccupation of the U.S. military and used it to their advantage.

World War III
The Third World War began with the Chinese invasion of Taiwan. With the Americans gone, Chinese victory was quick and Taiwan was declared a part of the People's Republic. Japan and South Korea responded with declarations of war and the United States followed its allies into the war. North Korea sided with China and began invading South Korea. In Russia, political stability was quickly falling and in February 2002, the Federation was couped by Ultranationalist forces. This faction wanted to see Russia at its "full glory" once again and ordered the military to begin invading all former Soviet states, Finland, and Alaska. Many of the former Soviet states quickly fell and Alaska did too due to its isolation. Finland fell after months of fierce fighting against NATO and European Union forces. During all of this turmoil, Africa remained mostly neutral, but soon things turned for the worst and war spread to many of the Islamic-majority African nations. Poverty and diseases spread even quicker than usual and by 2006, the majority of Africa would be deserted. In 2005, Seoul, Korea was hit by a nuke from an unknown country and so was Baghdad, Iraq. Following the nuclear attacks, most of the Middle East was in civil war and many other nations began entering civil wars too. People began to fiercely oppose the war and wanted their governments done away with. European nations were about to collapse but the European Union Parliament then passed a new law, the merging of all the nations into a European superstate which would be stronger as one than as many. The United States merged with Canada, Mexico, and various Caribbean nations as a North American Union, also a superstate. War continued on between the superstates. North America was united under the NAU, Europe under the EU, and Asia under Russia & China. South America, Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia were in civil war. As for Oceania, many of its people simply abandoned their governments and lived by their own laws in hopes of keeping war away. In 2007, the superstates were weak and their economies ruined. The nations had no money and dissent was high and civil wars began over various things, nationalities, cultures, and politics. Soon all the superstates had been destroyed from within and the world was left without any governments.

A New Beginning
In 2008, people began to reunite, this time under new banners. Micronations were formed throughout the planet, some very large, some very small. One of these new nations was Kristonion, forming out of the former US states of Florida, Georgia, South/North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware.

A New America
The Federal Republic of Kristonion became known as the New America by its followers. The nation closely followed many of the United States ways and used many of the same buildings for the same purposes as the US. Some people in the rural inland mountain regions became very skeptic of this government that showed their homes within its borders. These people decided to fight the Kristonion government, in what is known by the Kristonans as the Mountain War. The war began in July 2008 and continues to this day.
