The Great Cession

The Year is 1938, Europe is on the verge of war, one of the most horrific in history. The United States remains neutral. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has taken steps to isolate the US from the rest of europe and it’s affairs. The States don’t all agree with what FDR has done to stay out of the war. Many German Americans are outraged, so are French Americans and British Americans, the list goes on. That is where it started. Strikes start to drag the already great depressed economy even further down the rabbit hole of debt.

November 9th 1938 in Germany,
Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass. Germans harass Jewish people and their belongings by assaulting and destroying their businesses. The Authorities watch on as people violently outlash. The United States Government watches on as well.

November 12th 1938 in the US,
FDR issues the Watching Eye Act. This establishes a new branch in the government, the National Neutrality Administration, its goal is to maintain Neutrality between the United States and foreign nations. This angers more Americans who saw Kristallnacht as a time of need for many in europe.

December 10th 1938 in the US,
A Riot breaks out in Atlanta, Georgia. The riot is caused by the lack of involvement in europe. This is one of many, riots start to spread throughout America, demanding change. FDR makes a public announcement proclaiming he is working on something to appeal to everyone. The air settles for the moment.

December 13th 1938 in the US,
FDR announces his new act, the National Integrity Act. It did the exact opposite of what the people wanted. After the Supreme Court started to review the Watching Eye Act, FDR started coming up with this an act to advance his power in the government. And with the overwhelming support from congress, FDR abolishes the supreme court with the act. It also gave him direct control over the military and gave the police complete control over the civilians. FDR also shifted the NNA’s focus from neutrality to public dissent.

December 20th 1938 in the US
The NNA issues a warning to FDR that one of the states has had a secret meeting with its local government officials. FDR announced later that day that any States found trying to plot against the overthrowing of the government, will be occupied by the military which FDR has built up.

January 2nd 1939 in the US
8 States (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia) leave the union, the Soviet Union declares that the States are under their protection that any hostile attempts made by the union will be an act of war against the USSR as well. This was only the beginning. The US moved troops to California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey before any other states could leave. Alaska and Hawaii declared themselves independent but vassals of the United States.
Over the next 3 months the 34 non occupied states followed suit. The US in shambles, FDR declares himself temporary ruler of the whole government, backed by congress.

January 5th 1939 The States organize into their own countries of:

Hey guys, welcome to my Roleplay. This Roleplay will be about the crumbling US and the states that left the union. I would like to have like 5 or six people who would play as the new countries that form from the states. You have 42 states to choose from, the amount of states per country depends on how many people want to play, split evenly by resources.

Im Wondering if there is any interest, thanks.

What is left of The United States:

Interested!

I am very interested in this!

Cool, I wasn't sure I would get any interest for this. Ill start working on how valuable some of the states are, and I will post an IC with the official rules and mechanics here in a few days. Thanks.

@Jpp188
This is very unhistorical rather than ahistorical, but I'll watch it for now and see what comes of it.

This seems like an interesting concept I suppose I'll throw in an interest.

Boy, I can't wait!

Im almost done, It will be up either tonight or early tomorrow, thanks for being patient.

Interested!

The full post is up, read up on the mechanics and go ahead and make a country if you are still interested, if you get less people then expected, then I guess we can make larger countries but I could add europe into the RP.

@Jpp188Will the Germans be a concern latter in the story, though.
Without America there's roughly fifty-fifty chance they win WW2 and come for the USA.
Though with USA split up perhaps they don't bother much aside from maybe supporting one of the factions.

Sorry I didn't get back to you until now, had no internet for the weekend. But depending on the people who join, the european powers will support their faction members, which Germany will declare on Poland in September of 1939 so the countries in the states will have about 8 months to prepare before WW2 starts. Countries can stay neutral, but based on chance, Germany may decide to come into the states. And for the US, they will be staying neutral unless attacked by a faction, kinda their whole thing in this timeline.
