Prologue: 1836-1863
"Mexican American war"
America was torn apart by several small events that they caused themselves, and would unfortunately lead to the collapse of their wonderful nation. In the early 1830's the United States of America fought a war with Mexico, they acquired several of Mexico's northern provinces and Colonies. Those colonies, would later rebel against their American leaders. Some of the provinces taken from Mexico would also turn their backs on the Union, and raise their arms for the Confederacy.
"The Civil War"
The outcomes one war would drastically effect the next war. That's what happened to the Americans when the South finally had enough, and left the union. The South's strong colonies in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the North West U.S led to a larger southern army than the north. What ended the war was when a huge southern army marched right through Pennsylvania, and after controlling all of it, they went on to New York, to New England. The South had then held almost all of the American's industry, and without factories manufacturing more weapons for the weakened American Army, the US had no choice but to surrender.
"The war of 1864"
Following the civil war, the U.S was in chaos. Left and right, extremists groups gained power, states wanted to secede, and for once in the United States' history, more people were leaving the U.S then coming to it. Eventually the U.S got into a war with Great Britain, over who's sphere of influence the South would be in. It was a short war that only lasted a year, but America was utterly destroyed. The U.S kept switching from a Communist dictatorship, to a monarchy, to a Presidential dictatorship, in the end the Monarchy succeded, and the old America was gone. The Reactionary extremists fled to California and seceded, while the communists went to one of the last remaining places on North America to implement their ideology: New York.
And thus the Manhattan Commune was born.

2: Although the Communists have fled to New York, the new nation isn't a full proletarian dictatorship. The Communists quickly changed to more of Liberals to prevent the overall populous, which feared the Communists, from throwing a revolt.
