In South America, the quagmire of warlordism, drug trade and coups continues under the umbrella of American military presence, cutting Chinese and Soviet influence off the region. It’s technical capabilities however are considered doubtful at best. Along with Cuba, Sandinista government creates a three-way Central American People’s Alliance (CAPA) that fields a half-a-million men army. In Central America the Nicaraguan government was able to stabilize the situation in 1990’s with some help from ANGBAND (almost certainly augmented by Chimaeras), and even further expand it’s influence during War on Drugs, with Honduras falling to pro-Soviet military dictatorship in early 2000’s as a result of American interventions throughout the South America. It has became a third most heavily militarized line in the world - right after Korean DMZ and Fulda Gap. Think South Ossetia OTL - and most have a self-supporting economy of drug trade and cheap labour, as well as some industrial capabilities to launder Chinese and ANGBAND money given to Cartels to keep situation unstable right next to American border. Most Western nations do not recognize any of these secessionist movements, but they became pretty solid. Mexico is de facto torn apart into several warlord-controlled states during it’s own, and later global War on Drugs led by American interests in South and Central America. In foreign politics, it remains a strong NATO ally and participates in most of bloc’s combat deployments and exercise. Political establishment, however, is not nearly as divided as OTL.Ĭanada has gradually fallen into a democratic socialism it’s economy stagnates under high pressure of social fare, but the social situation is somewhat stable. All in all, American society is very similar to what it was in late 1960’s with high discontent of some classes bashing against strong reaction of others. Phantom war fatigue becomes apparent as War on Drugs and several proxy conflicts in the Middle East drag on for decades. Still, racial and social tensions are high and American nation is highly divided economic disparity gap is huge and a prolonged conflict with the Eastern powers does not help. “Deindustrialization” has merely began during the time when Cold War reignited itself, so most production powers were never relocated for cheaper labour abroad. US Navy still dominates the sea and numbers around five hundred vessels with sixteen Strike carrier groups.Īmerican economy shows minor but steady growth through several decades some economists see it as a warning sign that old ways are in gradual failure, but most establishment and corporate moguls present stable growth as excellence of Reaganist model.
With a never ending arms race, it maintains the first and currently only military space station Freedom and a fleet of orbital shuttles supporting it’s logistical needs.

United States of America is still a leader of the Free World. In 1986 a transdimensional entity (NATO designation SEKHMET-1) takes over Soviet Politburo, silently reversing Perestroika and starting a new, far more aggressive act of Cold War. This is a geopolitical world map for ANGABAND setting (Full premise explained here: Here’s a short version.
