United States

The United States, the first modern Republic in the history of the world, is facing collapse and internal chaos unseen since the times of the Civil War. The New Deal of the Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has utterly and completely failed. The American people are now turning to especially desperate and demagogic leaders and causes. On the right the American Patriots Party led by Catholic theocrat Charles Coughlin and mysterious ex general George Van Horn Moseley calls for the scrapping of the New Deal and the rebirth of America in a “bath of fire and blood.” On the left the American Workers Communist Party led by the foreign educated Alfred Wagenknecht seeks to seize the means of productions and replicate the system of communism found in Warsaw and Moscow. The preachers of democracy are not entirely gone, however: the Republican Party still maintains a large amount of support from the middle class but is split between the isolationist market liberalism of William Borah and the progressive nationalism of Thomas Dewey. It is a matter of months before the elections and however the aforementioned factions defer in their beliefs, they are all intent on seizing one thing: power. Will the land of the brave and the home of the free stay that way or will it be the red flag or the bloodie'd cross that rises over a new America? (edited)
