Description:
Second most powerful member state of the United Earth Federation with a strong economy and at the cutting edge of technological advancement, the United Americas was formed in 2084, a year before the foundations of the global government were laid. The United Americas consists of the USA, parts of Canada, Mexico and Central America.
The United Americas remains the cultural melting pot that is was at the turn of the 21st Century, it’s population consisting of a diverse array of ethnic and social groups. Although seeming very much like a model of racial and religious integration on the surface, the United Americas has all the same social problems that it has always had. Many outside the UA consider the nation to be politically corrupt, with the Corporations having much of the real power.
In reaction to this rampant corporate consumerism, religious Conservatism has been on the rise in the United Americas, notably the New Confederate Church of America, a Baptist offshoot which is gathering support amongst many high-ranking Republicans.
Along with the Chinese Consortium, the United Americas is at the forefront of the UEF interstellar colonisation programme.
