I am enjoying this ‘Teddy Roosevelt:Hero of the Revolution’ timeline going on.

What’s the rest of the World acting like in this world, I suspect Britain is pretty powerful as it was during the period.

I am enjoying this ‘Teddy Roosevelt:Hero of the Revolution’ timeline going on.

What’s the rest of the World acting like in this world, I suspect Britain is pretty powerful as it was during the period.

As of 1930, the Commonwealth of Britain is probably #3, with the ["White"] *Dominions having gone their own way, behind the German Republic and the Arab Union of Councils

also Roosevelt would resent you associating him with Revolution.

 

[Time Enough]

As of 1930, the Commonwealth of Britain

Ooooh, a Chartist/Radical/Socialist revolt at some point?

German Republic and the Arab Union of Councils

Oooooooooohhhhh.

also Roosevelt would resent you associating him with Revolution.

Well Roosevelt may not be fond of it but he’s the awkward hero of Democracy I guess.

List of Cliques of the American Interconstitutional Era

Northeast

Buffalo/Philadelphia Government: The Philadelphia Government was T.J. Roosevelt and T.J. Roosevelt was the Philadelphia Government, that’s how central his personality was to the faction. It had its origins in the Roosevelt Insurgency during the Civil War by Roosevelt’s Opposition Front and the subsequent failed Second Philadelphia Convention that started the Interconstitutional Era. Most modern scholarship blames Roosevelt himself for the Convention’s failures, with almost everyone besides him believing the Constitution created there did not address the underlying issues of America. So, Roosevelt and his cohorts in the Mid-Atlantic declared their government in Philadelphia and only managed to get Richmond to truly commit to their Constitution, which didn’t exactly bolster their faction.

Atlantic Combine: The Atlantic Combine was in many ways like the Chicago Commune but was vastly more successful and had much greater foreign support owing to its coastal position. Formally called The American Council Socialist Republic, the Council seized control of a large swath of the Mid-Atlantic from Philadelphia to New York City in Fall 1922 with the support of the Arab CSR Foreign Vanguard. Their rising caught the Philadelphia Government Administration of Chief Executive Edwards so off guard the revolutionaries were able to capture the entire Cabinet that was Present in Philadelphia at the time. The Government regrouped in Buffalo where Former Executive T.J. Roosevelt was able to rally forces to crush the Revolution in the Summer of 1923. While the Combine was ultimately defeated, the two major cities it captured have retained a Socialist streak.

Annapolis Clique: The Annapolis Clique had an outsize influence compared to its land area, owing to it possessing both the nominal capital of the Union and a portion of the US Navy (About a Quarter). The soft power of Washington DC had waned with the decline of investment during the Second Era of Good Feelings and with the Junto having all but stripped the city for parts. The Navy allowed Annapolis to punch above their weight, but under the growing specter of the Buffalo Government, they threw their lot in with Richmond.

Concord Clique: New England had been a core of the Union Party apparatus and that of the Whig Party before it, and loyalties ran deep even at the height of the Civil War. Northern New England was home to a truly hardcore contingent of loyal Unionists who tried to pretend the Junto was alive and well. However, they were quickly beaten by the more pragmatic Clique to their south.

Boston Clique: As with the Concord Clique, Boston drew its power base from the Union Party loyalists of New England but were generally of a more democratic bent than their cousins. They also inherited a sizable chunk of the US Navy which they used to bolster their power. Boston saw the way the winds were blowing and eventually supported the Roosevelt Truce.

Midwest

Chicago Commune: In 1926, Communists in the city of Chicago grew fed up with the Leavenworth Clique’s disregard for Due Process and leftists and declared a Revolution that quickly seized control of the Chicago area. Eventually, the Commune was crushed by the Leavenworth Clique, but as a peace offering to the people of the city, Chicago was split from the rest of Illinois, a separation that has remained to this day.

Detroit Clique: The Lower Peninsula of Michigan and Ohio had been a stronghold of the Union Party in the Second Era of Good Feelings, and these Unionists opposed Ohio’s government especially once the latter joined the Coalition. After the War, Michigan and the Union-Backed State of Ohio joined together in a clique that was eventually destroyed by the Philadelphia Government after losing control of the Upper Peninsula to the Sovereigntists.

Leavenworth Clique: the Leavenworth Clique originally referred to a cadre of officers who graduated from the School of Application for Infantry and Cavalry at Fort Leavenworth in the late 1890s. By Wars’ end, the entire Army of the Mississippi was commanded by members of the Leavenworth Clique. Discontent within the AotM against the Junto began to build following the death of President Miles and the conflicting orders the resulting power struggle caused. The Clique eventually had enough, and they ordered their forces to stand down, which allowed the March to Washington that brought the War to a close. A portion of the clique would eventually align themselves with the state governments of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, and Leavenworth Clique became synonymous with that block of states.

Free State of Superior: The Upper Midwest had been settled primarily by German and Scandinavian Immigrants who often did not speak English, distrusted the Federal Government, and were devoutly either Lutheran or Catholic. These factors combined to give rise to a Distributist tendency in the Upper Midwest, epitomized by the German American Mutual Aid Society. These societies were present throughout the Midwest but were dominant in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Arrowhead region of Wisconsin. The groups in the region began advocating for separation into a State of their own, but the Miles Government ignored them. They did not give up and through constant fighting eventually got their separation as a condition for signing onto the Chicago Constitution.

Commonwealth of Ohio: Ohio had elected a Social Democratic government in 1905, and during the Nullification Crisis this government participated in the Coalition despite a Unionist Government pushing them out of the Capital. After the war, they became signatories of the Second Philadelphia Constitution, and despite ideological disagreements with Roosevelt, the two worked together to retake all of Ohio.

Front Range Free State: The mountainous western reaches of the states of Pawnee and Platte had long wished for separation into states of their own, but the Anti-Western bias of the Miles regime meant their wishes were ignored. The Idaho Falls Campaign in the Winter of 1911 saw bloody fighting in the region which reignited local regionalism. While the rebellion was defeated, the negotiations afterward saw statehood granted to the region under the St. Louis Government.

Mormon Free State: The Church of Jesus Christ was founded in the Second Great Awakening in Western New York, but quickly fled west in the face of local hostility to the sect. They settled in Missouri, outside the city of Independence, where they have remained to this day, despite various abortive attempts to persecute them. They initially rejected the St. Louis Government and wished to maintain the original Constitution, but later accepted the local option. The Mormons have since become an important constituency of the Plains Republic and were the dominant force of the nation’s Prohibition Movement.

St. Louis Government: Before the Civil War, the Great Plains had been a battleground between the Unionists and the Populists, and during the War, the region was the location of some very intense combat. After the War, delegates gathered in St. Louis to write a Constitution that believed the solution to America’s woes was the elimination of political parties. The faction that emerged following this Constitution endeavored to eliminate partisanship and corruption and was marginally successful in the former and completely unsuccessful in the latter. Their idiosyncratic politics however led to few states aligning with St. Louis, and they eventually settled for being just the Plains Republic

South

Free State of Kanawha: The Western counties of the State of Virginia have long conflicted with the rest of the State, and the sectional divisions boiled over with a disagreement within the delegation to the Second Philadelphia Convention. Eventually, Kanawha would become a signatory of the Chicago Constitution and has remained a Sovereigntist stronghold to the present day.

Mississippi Delta Autonomous Authority: Was at the time considered one of the Black Belt Free States but are separated due to their eventual affiliation with the MWR.

Black Belt Free States: Not strictly speaking a single entity but refers to a handful of States formed by the African Diaspora and their supporters in the Union Party. All of these were eventually defeated by the Southron Army, with many refugees fleeing to either the MWR or the North.

Republic of Acadiana: The Cajuns declared independence with French backing during the Civil War and continued their insurgency under President Cyr. Following the advent of the Workman’s Republic, they negotiated a special autonomy agreement including a Cajun Syndicate in the Worker’s Congress

Mississippi Workman’s Republic: The State of Louisiana had been the location of some of the deadliest fighting in the war, mostly due to the guerilla activities of the Cajuns, the Kuklos, and Unionist Militias. Even after the end of the Civil War proper, the fighting raged on in the bayous, and eventually, the workers had enough. ‘Big’ Bill Hall, a union organizer from New Orleans led a Revolution that united the state, and eventually took over most of Arkansas and the Mississippi Delta, before being stopped at Memphis, where the border has remained to this day.

Richmond Government: the Richmond Government was one of two entities in the Interconstitutional Era to have accepted the Second Philadelphia Constitution along with Roosevelt’s Philadelphia Government. Richmond represented a minor faction but managed to kick the Southron Republic out of Virginia and Kentucky by throwing their lot in with the Leavenworth and Annapolis Cliques.

Southron Republic: The Southron Republic was the second such state of its name, the first having failed to secede in the 1860s during the War of Southron Rebellion. This iteration was born of the Parallel Government established by the Kuklos Khruseos following the mass disenchantment of veterans following the Rebellion. The Republic sponsored splinter state governments in Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Virginia, and successfully took the Deep South after crushing the Black Belt Free States. The Southron Republic would eventually be pushed into just Florida following the Southron Bush War in the 1960s, and the remnant would be invaded by the Concordat of Brotherhood following the events of the Bombardment of Gainesville and the Florida Revolution in the 90s.

Far South

Texarkana Clique: Descended from the forces of General Robert Howze in the Civil War, they refused to recognize the San Francisco, St. Louis, or Philadelphia Constitutions, and instead began to align themselves with the Rio Bravo Confederation. This alignment eventually came in handy following Arkansas and Louisiana falling to the Red Mississippians, when the rump Clique joined the Rio Bravo. Governor Ferguson’s critics said it was because he felt more at home in such a personality-driven nation, but the reality was their forces were the key to maintaining the State’s territorial integrity.

Second Republic of Texas: A short-lived attempt to reestablish an Independent Texas centered on the state capital of Austin, it collapsed in the face of a combined Texarkana-Rio Bravo offensive.

National American Indian Union: During the Civil War, the NAIU was created in Tahlequah as a unified front of the Indigenous peoples who opposed the Junto (which was almost every major Nation.) They enjoyed the loyalties of most of the major reservations in Sequoyah as well as throughout the Midwest. A narrow vote in 1922 saw the vast majority of NAIU Signatory nations join the Plains Republic, with an unprecedented autonomy granted including a Native Legislature.

El Paso Clique: The only major Unionist Force West of the Mississippi, the El Paso Clique was alone in a sea of hostile governments. Collapsed following a series of internecine power struggles following the fall of Tweed City to the Chihuahua Branch of the FAN, with Rio Bravo picking up the pieces and admitting the remnants.

Rio Bravo Confederation: The Confederation has its origins in a short-lived insurgency against the government of Santa Anna in 1840. Although the initial ‘Republic’ was quickly defeated by the Mexican government, it was reborn by force of American Arms during the Mexican-American War. It spent the next 60 years as an American puppet, except for a brief stint aligned with the Southron Republic. However, during the Nullification Crisis of 1909 that preceded the Civil War, the Confederation sided with the Coalition and eventually came to own most of the Far South.

Free Army of the North: The FAN is merely another entry in a long line of rebels in the region, although, unlike Cortina and Garza, were not crushed, being funded by the Confederation as well as the Mexican Government. While the Chihuahua Branch was successful beyond their wildest dreams, the Sonora was less lucky, although they did eventually manage to get some concessions toward Mexican Rights out of San Francisco.

West

San Francisco Government: The West Coast was the core of the Coalition, so was generally home to the most radical of its members including Jack Chaney, Governor of Sacramento. After the failure of the Second Philadelphia Convention, Chaney called a Constitutional Convention in San Francisco where they wrote a more radical document, with Nationalized Industry and the abolition of the Presidency. The States that adopted the San Francisco Constitution would go on to form the Western Union, and the document would be the basis of the Mississippi Constitution.

Vancouver Island secessionists: A short-lived attempt for Vancouver Island to leave the State of Vancouver and form a separate state under the San Francisco Government. Was not strictly speaking a clique, but the rebellion occurred during the era so is mentioned here.

Honorable Mentions

Republic of Canada: An American ally since the Patriote Rebellion of 1837, Canada was occupied by Junto forces after their President voiced his support for the Declaration of Freedom. Canadien partisans managed to push the occupiers out at war’s end and managed to mostly avoid the fighting of the Interconstitutional Era, bar some skirmishes with the Concord Clique.

Republic of Huron: Formerly the Republic of Upper Canada, Huron never had as strong an identity as its eastern neighbor, being founded as nothing more than a step before annexation. But despite the Junto’s best efforts, the final annexation attempt during the Civil War saw the advent of the modern Huronian identity in solidarity with Canada due to their combined Resistance.

Commonwealth of Borealia: The British Commonwealth’s Brother Republic created from the carcass of the nationalized Hudson’s Bay Company was not particularly involved with the Interconstitutional Era. With two exceptions: the Metis Boreal Volunteers fought for the Coalition (And eventually the NAIU) against Parliamentary Interdict and the Unionist Raids across the border against the St. Louis and San Francisco Governments

Republic of Mexico: A faction of the Mexican Government suggested invading the Far South in support of the FAN and to reannex the Lost Territories but lost out to the Germanophiles who did not want to attack territory nominally allied with Frankfurt in the Word War.

The Vikings are an ethnoreligious group in the Great Lakes region that dates to the chaos surrounding The Event when a charismatic warlord coopted the garb of an Old American cult from the Prediluvian region known as Minnesota. The true name of this first warlord has been lost to this author because later leaders of the church refer to him as “The First Hedkoach”. His horned warriors became known for their ferocity and he eventually conquered much of Superior’s southern coast before his realm shattered upon his death.

Realms of the former Grand Duchy of Esmaria, 1444 AA

The Grand Duchy of Esmaria was considered a key component of the Empire of Anbennar, with the Duke himself being involved with many diplomatic events of import. However, this was of no use when he died in 1365 at the height of the First Lilac War, with the Esmari Succession Crisis simply becoming another front of that century-long conflagration. The Succession Crisis directly led to the dissolution of the Grand Duchy, as its former vassals preferred being Princes Themselves to tithing to Esmarainé. Esmaria is a land of vast disparities, the craftsmen of Esmarainé and Giberd, the peasants and laborers toiling in the fields and mines, and the Riverlords drowning themselves in their boozy River Parties.

Duchy of Asheniande: Asheniande is located at the eastern edge of Esmaria, in the region known as Ashfield, so named to the volcanic soil of the region created by the eruption of the volcano of the Havoral Mountains on the Day of Ashen Skies. It assumed its current form when the King of neighboring Corvuria attempted to gain the duchy by having his second son marry the only daughter of the previous Duke. However, this son instead fell in love with his new adoptive home and refused to partake in his father’s schemes, and instead founded a cadet dynasty.

Duchy of Estallen: Estallen is one of the two major players that most people think of when they think of Esmaria. It is dominated by the city of the same name, and that city is dominated by the Water Garden District, the series of canals and parks people flock to the city to see. The other draw for travelers to the “Lady’s Glade” is its expansive Pleasure Palaces, its courtesans are world-renowned. The primary industry of Estallen is their cloths and clothing manufacturing, with the duchy possessing the cutting edge of textiles and fashion.

Duchy of Leslinpár:

Dwarven Hall of Silverforge: Silverforge is the only Dwarven Prince, and acts as the voice of the Empire’s second-largest minority as a member of the Imperial Electoral College. Its Electoral Politics are idiosyncratic even by the standards of its peers, with centuries-long blood feuds rendering any diplomatic venture a minefield of sore subjects. With the conclusion of the Lilac Wars, leadership has turned its sights back to the acquisition of the resources to finally complete the Hold Silverforge was founded to build, 2000 years since its foundation as a mining colony, Silverhold.

Free City of Esmarainé: Esmarainé was the former capital of the Grand Duchy of Esmaria, and in the wake of its collapse, the city was taken over by a cartel of River Traders who were granted Free City status so no one duke would have it. It is everything that wider Esmaria is, but to an extreme degree, no one has more extravagant parties, no one has a larger Temple of Esmaryal, and no one is more cutthroat in the pursuit of profits in the Grand Duchy.

Hierarchy of Giberd: Giberd is the unofficial capital of the Imperial Gnomes, the largest minority in the Empire without an Elector to represent it, something many in Giberd resent. The City was granted to the Gnomes who settled in Esmaria by the King in the 5th Century, with its name literally meaning ‘Gifted Land’. Giberd is the center of Engineering in the Empire, and this expertise makes its Gnomes invaluable in the advent of Artificery. As one of only three independent Gnomish nations in the Known World, many would see the Hierarchy's resources be used to restore the original Hierarchy they were displaced from in the Dragonwake, but most are happy where they are now.

Ryalan Temple: The temple is the center of the worship of Ryala, the Goddess of Greater Love, a member of the Regent Court. Clergy trained here perform marriage ceremonies across the Known World, and the Temple is a popular location for the well-to-do of the Empire.

Duchy of Bennon: The Duchy of Bennon is peopled by a hardier stock than most Esmari, the serious and staid descendants of the Havoric people are much more comfortable in their mountain hunting lodges than the Party Barges of their brethren. The Bennonians have a long rivalry with Silverforge, dating back to the conflict over the tunnel through the Havoral Divide known as Adstunad, or Oldpassage.

County of Konwell: Konwell is the site of the Imperial Archives, with its capital being the chosen location of that institution over the Capital of the Empire due to the latter’s propensity for fires in the early years of the Empire. This scholarly tradition led to the foundation of the Konwell Institute, which is the least well known of the Imperial Universities, mostly due to its eschewing of the Prestigious disciplines in favor of the practical ones.

County of Seinathíl: Seinathíl, literally meaning Singer’s Keep was founded during the War of the Sorcerer King when the elven Troubadour Alarian Singkeep captured the titular fortification by singing the entire Castanorian garrison to sleep. Singkeep had single-handedly founded the school of enchantment, the school of magic that deals in spells that affect the minds of others. Seinathíl has also gained notoriety for being the home of the Bard College, known for its War Bards who practice the art of “Warsinging”.

County of Telgeir: Telgeir (Elven for Forge) is held by a branch of the House of Vanbury, one of the richest families in the Empire owing to their ownership of the Vanbury Steel Guild. The Guild was founded by the branch that fled the family’s deposition during the Greatwood Uprising, and the family was granted the County for services rendered to the victorious Rose Party at the conclusion of the First Lilac War in 1365.

County of Terr: Terr was founded after the War of the Sorcerer King when the Seventh son of a minor noble family founded remained behind when his family fled and formed an armored band fighting the forces of Castanor. He was granted the county by the King, and founded the síl Terr dynasty, which would eventually gain the County of Havorton as well. It is a minor power in the region, but its wines have a unique reputation due to their incorporation of mineral water.

County of Themarenn: Themarenn is a county in the North of Esmaria, centered on the lake of the same name, home of the Lake Palace that served as the Royal retreat during better times. But the royal visitors are gone, and the Palace has fallen into disrepair. That is not the say the County is unimportant, it has garnered a reputation as the Hub of Esmaria, with the Riverlords often favoring the Themarennic feasts over Esmarainé where the greedy burghers would sooner fleece them as entertain them.

County of Gabmórionn: Gabmórionn is a minor county in the woods north of Esmarainé, known solely for its eccentric countess, the kindly mage Isobel. Isobel never had children of her own, instead adopting and adopting the orphans of her capital, and these orphans then went on to educate others, with their fraternal organization the Countess’s Children dedicated to educating all who desired it.

There are also a couple Imperial Princes who possess realms either too unimpressive to detail or too minor to bear mentioning like the Duchy of Deamóine and the County of Varainé.
