Pick any unclaimed state. In this NRP, we'll do the entire history of the United States ourself, starting with the American Revolution and going all the way to the modern day.

The host may decide to interfere or change things in case things get too messy, but otherwise everything will be made from players. The only other rules are to stay realistic and not be toxic to other players.

Welcome to the Cold War! You can now claim any nation in the whole world, along with any US state or territory.

(A few things on the map have been changed / corrected since last time. Just, uh, don't worry about it...)

Pick any unclaimed state. In this NRP, we'll do the entire history of the United States ourself, starting with the American Revolution and going all the way to the modern day. Note that your goal is NOT to gain as much land as possible, but instead to gain as much political clout as possible. The host may decide to interfere or change things in case things get too messy, but otherwise everything will be made from players. The only other rules are to stay realistic and not be toxic to other players.

Welcome to the Cold War! You can now claim any nation in the whole world, along with any US state or territory.

Pick any unclaimed state. In this NRP, we'll do the entire history of the United States ourself, starting with the American Revolution and going all the way to the modern day. Note that your goal is NOT to gain as much land as possible, but instead to gain as much political clout as possible. The host may decide to interfere or change things in case things get too messy, but otherwise everything will be made from players. The only other rules are to stay realistic and not be toxic to other players.

Discord (to get informed when a new post releases): https://discord.gg/7n6uKVQSER

Congress:

New York currently has the most electoral votes in Congress, and they have formed a single, centralized mega-city which spans their ENTIRE state (like, not even joking, their entire state is literally just one giant city). Should we counter this? If so, how?

The CCP is seemingly winning the Chinese Civil War- should we intervene?

Found the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?

Should we adopt McCarthyism?

How do we react to the outbreak of the Korean War?

Pass the 22nd Amendment to establish term limits for the President?

Do we play into the UFO myth or deny it? Do we finally have a way to punish the aliens for sinking the Titanic?

How do we respond to the Berlin Blockade?

The Philippines demands independence, following the common trend in Asia. Refusing will probably lead to an independence war and many casualties due to guerilla warfare. Do we give it to them?

Events:

Maryland signs a separate peace deal with Florida, agreed to by both sides. The peace treaty acts as if Maryland is the president or represents the Federal Government, which they aren't. They even added a snotty "signed, the governor of Maryland" at the bottom. The actual president still accepts it because I mean why not I guess. To summarize the treaty: Venezuela, Mexico and Panama (excluding the canal) gain independence, Florida annexes Trinidad and Tobago (why is this even in the treaty?), Florida and the US gain mutual fleet basing rights in each other, and Maryland (not the US as a whole, those greedy Marylander mfs) receives £5 war reparations from Florida.

The United States launches various campaigns around the world to suppress communist uprisings and incite capitalist ideas in existing nations.

Greece receives lots of American support in their Civil War, along with lots of Soviet support on the side of the rebels. This turns the Greek Civil War into the first Proxy War of the Cold War. Lotta wars amirite?

A proposal to form the State of New England under Providence is narrowly passed by Congress, however it is vetoed by President Truman on the grounds of massively disrupting the political status of the United States.

Presidential Succession Act is passed, determining the order of Presidential succession

Supposed UFO debris is found in New Mexico, kicking off Alien conspiracy theories

National Security Act passed, reforming the military and intelligence agencies of the United States to guarantee national security.

Truman Doctrine establishes the policy of supporting states resisting subjugation by minorities or external powers (unless that power is us hehe)

Indian Independence Act passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, granting India and Pakistan independence as thanks for their support in World War II.

COMINFORM founded by the Soviet Union, dictating the actions of leaders and communist parties across it's sphere of influence.

The United Nations agrees to partition Mandatory Palestine, causing the 1948 Palestine War.

Marshall Plan begins, providing aid to American-aligned nations as to make Soviet-aligned nations jealous of the West and want to change sides.

Burma gains independence from the United Kingdom as per the Burma Independence Act of 1947.

Treaty of Brussels signed amongst Britain, France and the Benelux, becoming the precursor to NATO and the European Union.

A communist insurrection occurs in Malaya, causing the Malayan Emergency / Anti-British National Liberation War.

Berlin Blockade begins, as the Soviets block Western supplies entering West Berlin. The west organizes the Berlin Airlift to carry supplies into West Berlin as a result of the blockade.

North and South Korea are founded.

Israel gains independence after the British Mandate of Palestine ends, however this causes all it's neighbours to attempt to invade it to establish a Muslim state in Palestine.

Maryland offers to form a union with Delaware. Delaware decides to accept, uniting the Delmarva Peninsula.

Truman officially desegregates the Armed Forces.

1948 President election, Harry S. Truman is elected president for his first full term.

Historical Events:

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) founded

First mammal, a monkey named Albert II, launched into space in a suborbital flight

Communist China forces the Kuomintang to retreat into Taiwan

Soviet Union develops its first nuclear bomb (already have in NTWR)

Germany divided into East and West

Vietnam officially declares independence, receiving some recognization

Dutch-Indonesian Round Table Conference occurs, granting Indonesia independence.

Korean War begins when North Korea attacks South Korea

22nd Amendment passed, establishing term limits for the president.

China intervenes in Korea on the side of the DPRK, pushing the United Nations back to South Korea.

Douglas MacArthur is fired by President Truman for requesting to use nuclear weapons on China

The Golden Age of Television begins.

Australia, New Zealand, United States Security (ANZUS) Treaty enters into force (Australia and New Zealand are already part of the United States, so this treaty is entirely unnecessary.)

Queen Elizabeth becomes Queen of the United Kingdom

Japanese Peace Treaty of Conference in San Francisco establishes peace between Japan and the United Nations, de-occupying Japan.

Egyptian revolution of 1952 occurs, establishing a dictatorship, ending British influence in Egypt, and beginning a revolutionary wave across the Arab world.

United Kingdom successfully tests its first atomic bomb, becoming the world's third nuclear power

America tests the first hydrogen bomb / thermonuclear fusion bomb, Ivy Mike.

1952 Presidential election, Dwight D. Eisenhower elected president, Richard Nixon vice president

Congress:

What should be the new Floridian-American borders? (Note that Florida does have some leverage in the peace and this leverage MUST be acknowledged. We CANNOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES risk going back to war with them, at risk of a nuclear exchange.)

How do we react to the various independence movements developing across the world? (Indonesia, Vietnam, Middle East, South Africa, etc.)

Send support to Greece in their Civil War?

Merge Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pejepscot, New Hampshire, and Vermont into Rhode Island, essentially forming a united New England under Providence? (proposed by Rhode Island)

Events:

A major offensive to re-capture New Orleans is launched by the United States, pushing along the river and taking the key city within a few weeks.

The Second Trinity Test takes place. Scientists at the scene see a giant flash of light and ear-piercingly loud ring, before a mushroom cloud forms in the distance. Later documentation of the scene shows that the test had succeeded, and the United States had successfully developed the Nuclear Bomb.

Two American Boeing B-29 Superfortresses, called Enola Gay and Bockscar, inconspicuously fly into Japanese airspace (mistaken as reconnaissance) and drop the Fat Man and Little Boy nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. This quickly causes Japan to make the decision to surrender to the United States and allow itself to be occupied.

The borders of Europe and Asia are re-drawn following the fall of all major Axis powers. (Florida was never technically in the Axis, although they are aligned with them.)

Erie is merged into Ontario, and Allegheny is merged into New York.

Just before the United States can drop nuclear bombs on Florida, the United Caribbean Republic declares to the world that it has independently developed it's own nuclear bombs, providing footage to back it's claim. The footage shows a flash and mushroom cloud in the distance, before the Floridian president comes on screen and calls the explosion "pog". The US president realizes the threat this poses to the American population, and agrees to a ceasefire and peace summit with Florida, which will occur the next year.

Soviet Union grants its Chinese occupied territory to the Chinese Communist Party.

United States grants Taiwan to the Kuomintang.

Various nations in the Middle East end their mandates and gain independence.

COMINFORM founded by the Soviet Union, dictating the actions of leaders and communist parties across its sphere of influence.

The United Nations agrees to partition Mandatory Palestine, causing the 1948 Palestine War to begin.

Marshall Plan begins, providing aid to American-aligned nations as to make Soviet-aligned nations jealous of the West and want to change sides

Burma gains independence from the United Kingdom through the Burma Independence Act of 1947.

Treaty of Brussels signed amongst Britain, France and the Benelux. This became the precursor to NATO and the European Union (which it would later be modified into).

A communist insurrection happens in Malaya, causing the Malayan Emergency / Anti-British National Liberation War.

Berlin Blockade begins, as the Soviets block Western supplies entering West Berlin. The West organizes the Berlin Airlift to carry supplies into West Berlin as a result of the blockade

North and South Korea are declared

(As of 1946 we've switched to a complete world map! Also, after ww2 is done, you'll be able to claim any US state along with any nation in the world, not just in Europe.)

Congress:

Attempt the Trinity Test now?

If we develop nuclear bombs, do we use them on Japan or Florida first (reminder that Japan has a fighter spirit- no nation has ever invaded the Japanese mainland, ever, and they simply never give up)?

Establish the new borders of Europe as prepared in the Yalta Conference (roughly the same as otl, but we have Albania and Yugoslavia, and Germany maybe keeps Silesia)?

How do we defeat Florida and Japan?

Merge Erie into Ontario? (proposed by Ontario)

Merge Allegheny into New York? (proposed by New York)

Events:

The Yalta Conference is held by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union (being represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin respectively), deciding the post-war borders of the world.

Germany undergoes a revolution, forcing Hitler to flee the country. The revolutionaries surrender to the Allies, ending World War II in Europe. On an unrelated note, there have been reports in various countries of people with toothbrush moustaches.

Russia launches a massive offensive into Japanese territory, reaching all the way into Mongolia.

Various Floridian landings in American territory across the Caribbean coast occur. Meanwhile, some American counter-offensives take place further inland.

American and Chinese pushes happen on land and on sea, pushing further and further into Japanese territory.

Second Trinity Test delayed as to provide more time to flesh out the design of the bomb.

President Roosevelt, old and sick, dies of natural causes. His vice president, Harry S. Truman, takes power.

Historical Events:

(Note: At this point, I will not be displaying events in WW2 due to extreme non-conformity of this timeline to otl's war)

The host may decide to interfere or change things in case things get too messy, but otherwise everything will be made from players.

Congress:

Should we focus on beating down Florida, capitulating Germany or pushing into Japan?

How should we do as such?

Hold the Yalta Conference to decide the post-war borders of the world?

Do we attempt the Trinity Test again or wait slightly longer?

Events:

The Allies commence Operation Neptune and the larger Operation Overlord, landing in Normandy to liberate France. Additional landings happen in Aquitaine from Spain.

Lowland Countries and majority of France are liberated in Operation Overlord (plus Operation Dragoon in South France)

Massive Soviet counter-offensives occur, taking Poland and much of the Balkans

Workers' Rebellion re-joins the Soviet Union, ending the Second Russian Civil War

The US attempts the Trinity Test in Papua. The scientists, upon the bomb hitting the ground, witness a large flash and ear ringing sound, before things clear up and they see the explosion. Initial celebrations take place, however further analysis shows chunks of plutonium scattered throughout. A theory emerges which explains this: the nuclear chain reaction had not taken place. Destruction was also rather minimal although the area was heavily irradiated, which lined up with their theories. The test had failed and it appeared the bomb would need more development. Scientists urge patience among the government.

A deal is made between Florida and New Mexico to purchase Juarez.

In an extreme escalation of events in the Caribbean, Rhode Island has declared an embargo on Florida (also known as the United Caribbean Republic). The situation gradually escalated to the point that Florida declared war on the United States.

Panama Canal, Puerto Rico and the Rio Grande are seized by Florida at the beginning of the war.

Hawai'i is made the primary base of operations in the Pacific.

War Transport Bill passed with the goal of making war logistics easier.

Germany quickly launches an invasion of Hungary and Poland to prevent betrayal.

Brazil, sensing an opportunity, declares war on Florida and joins the Allies.

Paradise passes a resolution to rename itself to it's historical name of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

1944 presidential election, Franklin D. Roosevelt re-elected president for his 4th term

The Racial, Religious, Culture and General Equality bill is passed, guaranteeing total equality across the United States, as per the 14th Amendment.

BREAKING NEWS: Racial, religious, cultural and general non-equality is still on a high as people and states do absolutely nothing to enforce the new law.

Bermuda, historically a Marylander territory (from the Revolution to the Civil War), is transferred to the State of Maryland by Congress.

The United States officially annexes Papua, Nauru, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, and New Caledonia (to the displeasure of it's allies), using historical claims to the territories to it's advantage.

Florida brings the Central American countries (previously under American influence) into it's fold using promises of "peace", "cooperation", and "friendship".

Pass the Racial, Religious, Culture and General Equality Bill? (proposed by Hawai'i)

Events:

The US begins providing extra funds to the FBI to prevent any acts like 6/14 from happening in the future.

A group of American scientists is hired by the government to start the Manhattan Project, with the goal of developing the Atomic Bomb.

The Allies begin a landing in Southern Spain. In response to the landing, Francisco Franco negotiates a deal where he agrees to leave the war and allow Allied troops through his country in return for maintaining control over Spain. Germany responds by invading Spain to attempt to depose Franco, although the invasion is less than successful, and it draws troops from the Eastern Front.

The Mayor of New York receives lots of criticism after the approval of a project to build various Anti-Aircraft complexes across the city, and the ban on planes entering the city (as commercial flights have caught on).

Florida "requests" Venezuela give them a trade deal for oil, however after negotiations stall, it breaks out into fighting. Venezuela quickly falls to Floridan expansionism.

Congress:

Start the Manhattan Project?

How to respond to Pearl Harbour?

Do we land in Sicily or France first? And when? Where specifically?

How do we respond to 6/14?

Events:

Pearl Harbour occurs, where Japan bombs Pearl Harbour in Hawai'i. The event carries much less weight than it did in otl, since America and Japan are already at war.

Douglas MacArthur creates the MacArthur plan for the Pacific theatre of the war. The plan is expanded upon by President Roosevelt to include the European theatre, following Congress' failure to decide on a single plan (stuck between the Bricker Plan and focusing on Japan). The plan works as follows: in the Pacific, the US uses island-hopping methods to gradually push back Japan, seizing the South Pacific first before working north into China, and finally landing on the Japanese islands via Korea and capturing Tokyo. The offensive only continues as long as Japan hasn't surrendered, which can happen at any time during the plan. Meanwhile, in the west, we execute several landings in North and West Africa with the goal of seizing all of the African continent. We will then use Africa and Britain (which we will defend to the last man) to our vantage to land in Continental Europe and gradually push the Axis forces inland and east, until they at last surrender. Britain already has control over the Atlantic so we can use that to our advantage.

Germany requests passage through Latvia and Estonia for an invasion of the Soviet Union, and as a result of Soviet aggression, they agree.

Britain, Free France and the United States make various landings in Africa, pushing back Italy, Spain, and Vichy France, securing control over the continent. Foreseeing a potential betrayal, Germany invades and divides Vichy France between itself and Italy.

Germany launches Operation Barbarossa, invading the Soviet Union. Ukraine joins on the German side. The rebels agree to a ceasefire with the Soviets to fight against the Germans.

French Syria falls to Britain.

Brazil joins the war on the side of the Allies.

Mexico capitulates to Florida. Florida creates puppets in Guatemala and Belize, meanwhile Mexico is occupied territory. Cartels are illegalized and suppressed.

On 6/14 (Bastille day in France), the Independence Trade Center, only partially finished, with the goal of encapsulating American pride, is flown into by two German planes, destroying all progress and killing many people in the process. Many authorities question how the planes managed to get there successfully in the first place. Investigations show an extreme level of espionage and spies in the New York City command structure. While there are many theories for how this went unnoticed, all the blame points to Germany.

Allow FDR to have a third term despite the existing presidential tradition?

What is our plan to win the war with Japan?

Events:

7/13, a.k.a. the Hindenburg incident occurs, in which the Hindenburg is hijacked and flown into the Freedom Tower, knocking it down. The US puts all the blame on Germany, continuing to worsen world tensions. The age of airships ends as a result of the incident.

Following the Marco Polo Bridge and Panay incidents (particularly the Panay incident), the US claims Japanese aggression against the United States, invoking the Neutrality Act, and going to war with Japan. This does not put them at war with Germany, as Germany has refused to sign an alliance with Japan.

Italy joins the Anti-Comintern Pact

Anschluss, Germany annexes Austria

Golden Gate Bridge completed in San Francisco

Munich Agreement signed by Germany, France, the UK and Italy, allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland in return for peace.

Germany invades Czechoslovakia, establishing the Slovak Republic and Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in the ashes of the Czechoslovak State. Hungary invades Carpatho-Ukraine and has a brief war with Slovakia in which they annex a strip of land.

The Spanish Civil War ends in a nationalist victory.

Italy invades Albania.

The Pact of Friendship and Alliance between Germany and Italy, aka the Pact of Steel, is signed.

Treaty of Danzig signed between Germany and Poland, annexing the Danzig Corridor into Germany in return for a Slovak puppet. Poland joins the Axis.

Germany and Sweden come to an agreement, whereas Germany refrains from invading Scandinavia (including Denmark) and in return, Sweden continues to export Steel to Germany.

Hungary joins the Axis, and so does Romania due to a coup after the Second Vienna Award.

Italo-Greek War starts, whereas Italy attempts to invade Greece and fails.

Germany launches a swift invasion of both Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, who both refuse to join the Axis. They are both occupied and divided.

France declares war on Germany to counter their aggression, starting the Phony War.

The US condemns Germany and makes clear it's stance against Hitler and German aggression, expansionism and irredentism.

Louisiana decides to bring back the Greater Louisiana movement for some reason, despite us entering WW2

The Soviet Union decides to recognize Ukraine's independence

The US Congress votes to divide Shoshone and rework the borders in the region. Shoshone's electoral votes are passed to Lincoln

The Texas-Namibia Mormon Scheme occurs, in which the governors of Texas and Namibia decide they want to deport all Mormons in the US- and in the future, the world- to Namibia, as to form a Mormon Ethnostate. Nobody knows or understands why they decided to do this, however as a result of the attempted mass deportation, the Mormons took up arms and became a militant group, seizing power and fighting against Texas and other parts of the US.

Historical Events:

Selective Service Act passed, establishing the first peacetime draft in US history (we aren't in peacetime)

Alien Registration / Smith Act passed, setting criminal penalties for advocating the overthrow of the US.

1940 US presidential election, Franklin D. Roosevelt re-elected president for the first ever third term

Congress:

What to do about rising global tensions and German expansionism?

How to react to the Hindenburg incident?

What is our response to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and Second Sino-Japanese War?

How do we react to the Panay Incident?

Events:

Amidst extreme pressure from both Florida and the United States, despite British backing, both revolts in the US are crushed. No land is seized from Florida as they manage to recapture it all. Shoshone is most harshly punished and turned rump, for it began the entire slavery scheme. Oregon was also punished but much less harshly. Missouri only had to give up territorial concessions in it's north and south, and pay reparations to Florida. Illinois was not punished at all as it showed significant remorse for revolting and put up little resistance.

FDR creates the "New Deal" as a response to the Great Depression, emphasizing the "3 Rs": relief, recovery and reform.

Emergency Banking Relief Act passed by Congress in an attempt to stabilize the banking system.

21st Amendment passed, ending Prohibition.

The US recognizes the Soviet Union as sovereign, despite tensions.

Philippine Commonwealth established as the governing body in the Philippines.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) established, replacing the Bureau of Investigation

The US passes the Neutrality Act, forbidding itself from joining any new World War unless provoked

The Second London Naval Treaty is signed between various powers, including the US.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is founded, conducting foreign spy operations.

Germany seizes the Saarland

Italy invades Ethiopia

January 1st 1936, beginning of HoI4 (for reference)

Germany re-militarizes the Rhineland in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Nobody interferes with the process

Germany marches troops into the Free City of Danzig, claiming the city to be rightfully German and the invasion to be just.

The Soviet Union puts extremely harsh demands and deadlines on it's researchers, trying to achieve things (development of whatever tf a "nuclear bomb" is) which are completely impossible at the present time. As a result, all Soviet scientists quit their jobs, protests grow and a revolt breaks out across the country, starting the Second Russian Civil War. Ukraine also takes the opportunity and revolts.

Britain issues an ultimatum to Germany to entirely cede both the Rhine and Saarland to France- completely unprovoked, out of nowhere. The demands are seen by the international community as outrageous, and a coalition begins to form against Britain. France demands they take back the ultimatum, not wanting another world war to take place. They also refuse to accept any cession of the territories.

The state of Oliver makes an official declaration that they want to occupy the entire UK (which, despite it seeming as such, is not in response to the ultimatum). No matter the reason, the demand and intent of the message is seen as stupid, reasonless and unprovoked. Tensions between the United States and Britain spike massively.

The Spanish Civil War begins when Francisco Franco launches a fascist coup against the government.

Ethiopia capitulates to Italy.

Germany and Japan found the Anti-Comintern Pact.

1936 Presidential Election, Franklin D. Roosevelt re-elected president.

Historical Events:

The Hindenburg zeppelin ignites in flames, killing 35 people. The event is caught on camera, which causes opinions to tilt against zeppelins and the end of airship travel.

Second Marco Polo Bridge incident occurs, starting the Second Sino-Japanese War

Italy joins the Anti-Comintern Pact

Panay incident, Japanese attack on the US Navy's USS Panay whilst anchored in the Yangtze River outside Nanjing

How do we handle the sudden rebellions in our territory?

Events:

The US condemns Germany and Poland for their ignorance of the Treaty of Versailles, however they take no action against the violators.

Shoshone and Oregon are voted out of the United States, however they resist causing a localized civil war in the Northwest United States. Shoshone and Oregon are united to form the Shoshone-Oregon Union, and attempt to invade Florida.

The United States maintains a neutral stance towards the Third Russo-Japanese War and rapidly growing Japanese Pacific Presence, however they build up their military to defend against potential Japanese attacks. Further Japanese expansion, such as the Invasion of Manchuria, is condemned.

The Great Depression hits and despite significant efforts, the global economy is massively damaged. Political situations globally are suddenly swapped as governments worldwide lose their support, allowing far opposition groups like the Nazis to take power. The luckier nations are able to divert blame to other portions of the government and maintain their current political climate, somewhat.

The Star-Spangled Banner is made the official national anthem of the United States.

In the midst of the inverted global climate and suddenly propping up dictatorships, the United States is rather neutral but open to collaboration.

The 20th Amendment is passed, establishing formal starts and ends of electoral terms.

Florida makes an offer to the United States to cede the Valdosta Strip in return for Puerto Rico, however the US refuses, citing how Puerto Rico is an important Caribbean asset meanwhile the Valdosta Strip has little use.

Missouri (supported by Illinois) joins the localized civil war by attempting to march troops southeast and invade Florida.
