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 16.png 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 16.png 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. 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, 16.png everminingkid and 16.png Migfiney. The following day, 16.png Bawhoppen attended a peace meeting hosted by Avalon, but was ambushed and captured by the NorthernEmpires afterwards.

On August 12th, 16.png everminingkid was elected President of the United Steves of America, winning 63% of the vote. He pledged a diplomatic mission to secure 16.png Bawhoppen's release, and pursued diplomacy during the war. On Aug 28th, 16.png 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 16.png 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.
