The United States in Chaos

Lord Bradorian

Naughtius Maximus
This RP is about a futuristic scenario taking place in the 2020s, during which a coup against Donald Trump was performed by anti-Trump forces and the United States was fractured by the civil war, brought into economic despair and the entire place being kinda like Somalia. In 2022, President Kurt Henderson, a business magnate from Britain before moving to Boston, used his wealth amassed through the use of off-shore oil drilling and stock trading in London, to raise a private army of primarily European mercenaries to carve out The Republic of New England. Afterward, he begun marching on the rest of the eastern coast of the United Staes, including the conquest of Washington D.C., where the remnants of the legitimate government of the United States, led still by President Donald Trump, during which Kurt Henderson took control over the United States, at least, those which he either held directly with his private army of mercenaries. After his taking of control of the government, he held Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington D.C. in his control, with his private army along with volunteers from his held states who were inspired by the ideal of a once again unified United States. His next incursion was into New York, the governor of which was named Daniel Noones, having created a large standing army and allied with Pennsylvania and Ohio. In total, Henderson's forces amassed to 70,000 ground troops and a size-able air and naval force. The York-Pennsylvania Alliance held a standing army of 16,000. Now, it would be believed that Henderson's men would roll right over the York and Pennsylvanian men. However, this was not the case. The 16,000 opposition proved to be a more formidable enemy than any of the New England or South Atlantic states, including the United States Armed Forces encountered in Washington, which numbered only to five thousand. As of now, the War of the Mid-Atlantic drags on, with Presidential forces pushing as far as Fulton County before being pushed back every time. Concurrent with that, a smaller naval invasion of Hawaii has begun, with several ships bombarding it and troop ships rumored to be steaming toward the largely undefended cluster of islands. Hawaiian militia is said to be numbered to maybe eight-hundred - however Alaska has pledged support if Henderson attempts a mainland invasion. 


And so, the east coast is controlled by President Kurt Henderson, while the rest is controlled by state governors or warlords, protected by militia and remnants of the once sturdy national guard. Most of the United States is now anarchic or lawless, however most states have some sort of figurehead who fight for unification and peace.


You have the choice to play as any state that you wish to play as. You can side with President Kurt Henderson, join the fight in the War of the Mid-Atlantic or War of Hawaii with the opposition of the supposed president, or, well, do anything you wish. The situation will develop as the RP goes on, and many things could happen. One thing is for certain though - if not already conquered, a Presidential invasion of your state is soon to come if you do not comply to annexation and he is not defeated - he is determined to bring the United States under one flag once again. 
 
But how would any of that be possible when America has such a huge defense budget?  



Maybe a very big combination of civil disobedience and the most armed population on Earth.


It'd be an interesting concept, but it needs to be more specific! Dealing with current international policy might be a nice thing to try if the details are polished a bit.


I support this idea.
 
It would be possible to have some sort of break down if you had a large attempt at a military coup and simultaneous and serious independence movements by California and Texas, although Im not sure if one from Texas is likely at all atm.
 
Another issue I see is soem dude form the UK making a private army... I dont see that as likely in any sense of the word
 
Keep in mind this is a 1x1 in the form that it would be performed in private message conversations. Other players would be playing at the same time, and you might interact with one another, however you wouldn't necessarily be aware. For example if Bob played Washington and Elusive played Oregon, they'd be interacting constantly, with trading and the such - however they wouldn't know about it. It'd be as if it's just another NPC.

You don't need to only control some of a state, however it could be included to add some flavor and interest.)

So we send in turns to act and never directly know how things happen on the entirety of the panorama?

You deal with your own regional issues that will pop up as a result of my GMing, and eventually you'll have to get involved with the more regional conflicts. However your RP experience will be between you deciding what to do for your state and me giving you both random and player-triggered events, going back and forth. For example, if you played Texas, you'd learn about what's going on in the Mid-Atlantic War, along with possibly spotting Presidential ships on your coast heading toward Hawaii. You could then decide to send a telegram to Hawaii warning them about the impending invasion, send out your navy to either assist or blockade the President's fleet, or just mind your own business and maybe consolidate your forces to a crime-ridden part of your state. Every state has become it's own, independent, de-facto republic. There could be wars between Texas and Oklahoma, wars between Montana and Wyoming, so forth. Or even civil wars within the state, where it becomes separated into two different nations. 
 
Are you implying that God Emperor Trump wouldn't have a selfamassed army to defend him? Totally outlandish form of politics you have here. Most states would stay loyal to the God Emperor, and thinking a private army of SJW's could stampede over heavily armed conservatives is far left logic.

Everyone can chill. This RP isn't supposed to have any logic to it. The background is just to lead to an interesting present lmao. 
 
The story basically goes Trump does something stupid, loses the support of the American Government, American Government fractures into different factions, the diplomatic process is abandoned in the political violence, and they break up into their own sections. Then power vacuums within the territories lead to even more independence and civil wars, until most states are by their lonesome. Henderson, the Briton who is now posing as the US President, is simply working off of greed, and is given the authority to by the British Government with the promise of restoring Britain's thirteen colonies. 


And as I said. Not supposed to be logical or plausible. This is a fictional story to lead the RP into a fictional setting. 
 
As soon as you message me.

I was about to say, if some British business magnate can hire a massive army of mercenaries, why cant Trump, one of the richest men in the world?
