United Republic of America (URA)
Political and Strategic Overview
The United Republic of America emerged in the early years of the U.S. disintegration as a deliberate attempt to rebuild the state without returning to the old federal system. Unlike the Provisional Government, which claimed legal continuity with the former Union, the URA presented itself as a controlled rupture, a “Second Republic” born from collapse rather than from the original Constitution.
President: David Robinson
David Robinson, a former senator and charismatic figure known for his direct rhetoric, became the public face of the URA. His leadership relied on republican-populist language centered on order, popular sovereignty, restoration of basic services, and national dignity. Robinson spoke less about abstract ideology and more about “community,” “work,” and “security,” which allowed him to attract both former moderates and sectors exhausted by chaos.
His presidency was strong, centralized, and personalistic, though wrapped in democratic language. For many supporters, Robinson was not a dictator but an arbiter in a time of ruins.
Domestic Politics
The URA adopted a form of civic populism:
- Controlled but frequent elections
- Partial nationalization of strategic sectors
- Extensive use of regional referendums
- An anti-elite discourse directed against Washington and the former federal establishment
This placed the URA in direct confrontation with the United States Provisional Government, which Robinson accused of being a “bureaucratic shadow without a country.” Both claimed national legitimacy, but from opposing foundations: legal continuity versus popular legitimacy born from collapse.
Rivalry with the Provisional Government
The rivalry was political, military, and symbolic.
- The URA accused the Provisional Government of excessive dependence on foreign aid.
- The Provisional Government accused the URA of populist opportunism and concealed authoritarianism.
This tension never escalated into a direct total war, but it did result in proxy conflicts, propaganda campaigns, and disputes over international recognition.
International Alliances
The URA sought partners that shared a vision of order, sovereignty, and anti-chaos governance:
- Germany: Industrial cooperation, administrative advisory support, and diplomatic backing. Berlin viewed the URA as a stable partner amid North American fragmentation.
- Finland: Doctrinal influence on territorial defense, civil reserves, and decentralized military organization.
- Canada: A pragmatic alliance focused on border security, trade, and coordination to prevent the conflict from spilling northward.
These alliances were not ideologically pure, but functional. The URA did not seek to lead the world, only to survive and consolidate itself as the core of a new possible America.
On the fragmented continental chessboard, the United Republic of America presented itself as something rare and dangerous at the same time: a state that still believed in the nation, but no longer in the old Union.
