[@Dinh AaronMk] The real Army I have is very tiny, only 20,000 out of the millions of people that are under the country as they cant afford any more, as is the scientific research group, with so much underfunding, for any actual breakthroughs would only be the work of truly dedicated scientist. The 'army' is mostly Militia members and mercenary groups, and mercenaries are only hired if the nation is attacked. Yes, there heavily idealistic, and would try to curb communist and fascist paths, but only through propaganda, regional influence, and shear willingness to hold on to there government. There the New Union of America, and there government is divided into 13 'Commonwealths' Each state being a common wealth. Each state elects a governor that goes to form a council that can create and and pass laws, and elects the president, while the president has limited power by only vetoing, or accepting laws, and breaking stalemate arguments in the council, thus being a full republic....not republican. You made a good point about the gold though, so I might have to change the currency to a form of credit...or sliver or platinum standard instead of gold.....
