America

The United States of America, commonly referred to as America or 'Merca, is a nation situated firmly in the West, or, depending on how you look at it, the East.

Currently, Rome 2.0 is a vassal of the United States, meaning that we pay Tributary Taxation to their government in exchange for not being exploded. Many prominent Romans live in the United States today, and wield dual citizenship.

Name
Officially, the country is called "The United States of America," but people and objects originating from the United States are almost exclusively referred to as "American," rather than United States of American, United Statsian, or USAn. Thus, even though Canada and Mexico are both parts of North America, their exports and citizens are not reffered to as "Americans." You could call it Americentrism, but honestly, the Founding Fathers just picked an unwieldy name.

History
America was invented on July 4, 1776, when two Deists gathered signatures to declare independence from the British Empire, just like how modern activists use change.org to save animals that we as a species have nearly destroyed.

However, some date the start of the American Revolution with the Boston Massacre, when police brutality claimed the lives of five Bostonian protesters (to be fair to the redcoats, Bostonians are scary).

The situation in Boston deteriorated to the point that a bunch of zealous young people, to protest a corrupt regime, put on disguises, came up with some clever chants, and started hooliganizing three ships bearing tea for the East India Company. This is now referred to as the "Boston Antifa Party."

Long story short, the Articles of Confederation were a disaster (turns out government is important); the Constitution got written, despite Jefferson and Madison's objections. The small-government camp was concerned, so a Bill of Rights was added to the Bill of Lefts, and now all white, landowning men were happy.

The White House burned down, Jackson initiated a mass-murder, Abraham Lincoln was shot by a racist actor, there were two world wars, the Democrat and Republican parties switched during the New Deal of the Roosevelt administration and Barry Goldwater's opposition to MLK, a democratic socialist with an objection to both parties for historic/modern wrongdoings. But that's enough politics. 9/11 happened. Trump got elected. Rome 2.0 split.

Culture
It's hugely diverse, and I don't feel like explaining it.
