Each side claimed huge chunks of the former United States, but only two sides claiming to be the true Successor, The UTA and the SPQA, and each one had the firepower to wipe each other out, but they didn't, the didn't even move troops to attack each other. The SPQA was left to advance the nation and with control of all the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, it was easy enough. The Oil in the south mixed with the trade routes all across the Coasts of the nation gave enough money for the restocking of Nuclear Weapons. This peace did not last though, a fascist movement began spreading in the state of Louisiana, and it began spreading across the South. The government, who did not want a Fascist party ruling the nation, outlawed the party, which started the blaze that would ignite the American War Machine. The first State to declare independence was Louisiana, as it was the first state to hold the party. New Orleans, which was the largest city in the state, was declared the Capital. Soon after, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, both the Carolinas, and Alabama declared independence with Louisiana, leading to a division of the nation. The Original government started a forced draft, which caused outrage in the nation as they have not seen a draft in nearly 70 years. Riots started in big cities which gave enough leverage to the Fascist that they could occupy New Mexico and Arizona. Soon after that, the rest of the Southern States declared Independence and joined the Fascist. The nation was formally divided into what they call the 2nd American Civil War, the Government finally got itself together with the draft riots when the Fascist troops marched on Washington D.C, burning it to the ground, and capturing the President. The President was prepared for this, and stated that the Federal government of the SPQA shall stand strong and will fight till it's last breath. The Governments capital was moved to New York by decision of the Vice President. Because of this act, the President was dropped off in the most isolated place in the Florida Everglades to be left to die. Lets just say, they found his hat with have of it chopped off by a gator two weeks later. The Fascist troops would continue marching across the north up to Philadelphia, which would begin the first large siege of the war. The Government troops inside the city all charged wave after wave against the fascist rebels, and at one point, they almost pushed them back, but they eventually failed, and the Fascist took the city. After that they marched to New York, the capital. Half the troops circled the city while the other have left for Boston. Boston was taken first, in an easy siege, and the troops where sent back to take New York from the other side. The troops circling New York moved into the south and the city was pancaked between the invaders. Within days of this, the city was taken, the war was over, and the Fascist took over the SPQA. The Presidents first act was an invasion of Cuba, in a quick act, the whole island was taken within two weeks. After that, the Bahamas peacefully decided to join. Puerto Rico after a brief time of independence during the breaking of the US also peacefully joined it. The SPQA next invaded the Dominican Republic, and quickly they fell. Then Haiti fell, then the rest of the independent Caribbean Islands fell, and the SPQA stood tall amongst the Islands. Since then, the army has expanded and they are ready for almost anything.
