United States of America/Red Alert

The United States of America is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states, one federal district, and fourteen territories. The country is situated almost entirely in the western hemisphere: its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie in central North America between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south; the state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent with Canada to its east, and the state of Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific. U.S. territories, or insular areas, are scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific.

The United States is an ethnically diverse nation. From it's earliest days as as colony to the 20th Century, the nation attracted many different peoples around the world. Indeed, at the end of the 20th century, the nation boasted prospertius economy, stability, as well as a state based on the principles of freedom, similarly to other Western countries in Europe.

The nation was founded by thirteen colonies of Great Britain located along the Atlantic seaboard. Proclaiming themselves "states," they issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The rebellious states defeated Britain in the American Revolutionary War, the first successful colonial war of independence. A federal convention adopted the current United States Constitution on September 17, 1787; its ratification the following year made the states part of a single republic. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments, was ratified in 1791. In the nineteenth century, the United States acquired land from France, Spain, Mexico, and Russia, and annexed the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Hawaii. The American Civil War ended slavery in the United States and prevented a permanent split of the country. The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed its status as a military power.

In the 1950s, when the RA2:Great World War II took place, USA largely sit out of the conflict in the opening stages of the war and decided to aid the Allied Forces only when the risk that the Soviets could win in Europe and Asia was so great that it would endanger the country. Among forces dispatched to aid Europeans were General Carville, as well as commanders and rifle infantry.

After the war, USA emerged as a superpower together with Europe. It became one of the major players of the Allied Forces. While disarming the USSR, the United States helped the nation rebuild, if under the power of a puppet ruler of Premeir Alexander Romanov. Regarding the USSR as allies and more beneviolent, the US did not take much notice of the nation.

In 1972, Mexico became embroiled by civil war. Dispite being it's neighbor, the United States took little notice and allowed the USSR to send peacekeeping forces to stablizie the nation. This would be a disaster. Shortly afterward, the USSR declared war on the United States, and invading the United States. The Great World War III had begun. Using Psyhic technology, the USSR prevented a nuclear retailation by the US. To prevent the European Allies from taking action, the USSR deployed Nuclear missle to intimidate them.

Dispite early setbacks, the United States manage to fight back, gain the full supportof the European Allies, and retake Moscow. Romanov was captured, and the Third World War ended. However, Yuri had other plans and attempted to take over the world, thus causing the Psychic Dominator Disaster.
