This is the flag of the United American Workers
Republic. It's ties in with the map I made called Red White and Blue, but Mostly Red. It comes from a world where Theodore Roosevelt was
assassinated early into his presidency and never instigated any of his reforms.
By the 1920s and 1930s socialist and communist movements had gained
considerable traction. Thing came to ahead during the Great Depression,
and before long an all-out Second Civil War had broken out. When the dust
settled and the fighting stopped the United States of America had ceased to
exist. It its place rose the United American Workers Republic. The
new nation reformed American society along socialist and communist lines.
The UAWR fought against Nazi Germany and Imperial
Japan during World War II. It was also a key figure in the founding of
the Japanese Workers Republic, the Socialist Republic of South Korea and the
People's Republic of Taiwan. It also supported socialist revolutions in
Latin America, who retain strong diplomatic ties with their Tio Samuel.
America also provided support for Iran during their socialist revolution
in 1954. America took in several Jews to Alaska during World War II, so
only two million were killed in the Holocaust. Besides the territory that
the USA does in our world, the UAWR also includes the Philippines, Cuba, Panama
and Liberia.
Traditionally, the United America Workers Republic has
been in a Cold War against the Russian Empire and the Franco-British Union.
In more recent times, however, the three superpowers are beginning to warm
up to each other, and have become more like frenemies than outright hostile.
