A bicameral legislature is still in place under the New England Congress with a House of Representatives and a Senate, with members of each house serving four year terms. The Supreme Court functions almost exactly as it did under the United States. Perhaps the most remarkable difference in the Republic of New England is the office of the President, who serves as many six year terms as his or her reelections allow.

While there are still those who practice the religions of old, many have instead simply abandoned their beliefs in the wake of nuclear war and instead look to either the government or each other in these trying times. The separation of church and state is an ideal that is held to dearly throughout New England as a result. While those who continue to preach are allowed to do so in peace, they are for the most part ignored, with the only notable exception being those preaching Americanism. The deification of historical figures from the United States past is considered dangerous to many within the both the government and general populace. [b]History:[/b] [b]Culture:[/b] The people of New England still hold to the same shared heritage and culture which bound their states together after the collapse of the United States. A hardy people who are far more accustomed to the harsh winters they face in the north than their former countrymen to the south and west. As the firsts European colonists once did, the coastal populace of New England looks to the sea to secure a stable source of food and their futures. Those who live in the sparsely populated forests of northern New England rely mostly on themselves to survive, or the occasional traders from the coastal farmlands.
