History
The United Steves of America (or U.S.A.) began its history as a union of independent towns on Aug 7th 2026. Founding members included Mineville, Cradle, WoolStreet, Miriftland, among others. Early in its history, President
Bawhoppen embarked on a campaign of diplomatic expansion. Application of this diplomatic policy by the U.S.A. government led to the FishTown Incident on Aug 8th. On August 10th, President
Bawhoppen formally convened a council with representatives from founding member towns who met to sign the U.S.A. constitution, formally ratifying it.

On August 11th, the U.S.A.'s involvement in FishTown escalated into a large-scale conflict with a sister nation The NorthernEmpires, later becoming known as the Fishtown War. Following this escalation, several towns exited the nation, including Catdria who left to join The NorthernEmpires. On this same day, the U.S.A.'s Constitution was amended to allow for direct popular elections for President, subsuming the duties of the Speakership, and replacing the existing President with Commander-in-Chief. Elections for the first presidency began with two candidates declaring themselves,
everminingkid and
Migfiney. The following day,
Bawhoppen attended a peace meeting hosted by Avalon, but was ambushed and captured by the NorthernEmpires afterwards.
On August 12th,
everminingkid was elected President of the United Steves of America, winning 63% of the vote. He pledged a diplomatic mission to secure
Bawhoppen's release, and pursued diplomacy during the war. On Aug 28th,
everminingkid was re-elected for a 2nd term unanimously. Following weeks of intense hidden negotiations, it was announced that a public meeting would be held discussing the fate of the conflict to be hosted at VillageTown. The summit was held on Sept 5, where the Treaty of VillageTown was signed, with the United Steves apologizing for the war, releasing
Bawhoppen on the condition he not hold office again, and recognizing FishTown's status and ending hostilities. This also created a treaty-bound alliance with NorthernEmpires. On Sept 14
everminingkid was re-elected to a 3rd term. On Sept 26, the United Steves reached first place on the server in number of member towns. On Sept 14,
everminingkid was re-elected to a third term. Over the course of September construction in Steve City ramped up, with
NicoInTheNether beginning construction on the Senate building. The voting hall was also constructed in preparation for the first in-game presidential election, with the candidate forum opening on Sept 27.

Projects

Government
The United Steves was the first democratic nation on RetroMC. It features elections to the presidency, as described above in the Constitution.
In short, the government works as follows:
- The President has control over the affairs of the nation. That includes things like spending the balance, setting up projects, doing invites, and so on. - The Senate is made up senators chosen by constituent towns. The Senate has the power to remove the president, or force the president to undertake a certain policy. - There is also a Commander-in-Chief, who is the technical owner of the nation. They ensure the stability of the nation, and preserve it for survival. At a future date, when the nation is stable enough, ownership of the nation is planned to be transferred among presidents. - Every month there is an election. These will be held in-game. The first in-game election will occur on Oct 1 2026 and go through to Oct 3. The President serves a 1-month term which begins and ends as soon as voting is concluded. - You must be a United Steves citizen to vote. That is, you must be a member of a town that is part of the United Steves. Dual citizenship does not prohibit voting.
