The Amerikanisch flag was adopted in 1879. The flag is a tricolour made of three equal horizontal bands coloured black (top), white (center), and red (bottom). The black represents the natural resource of the Reich, the white represents peace and prosperity, and the red represents the blood of the Amerikanen who fought for the freedoms of the Amerikanisch People. The saltire in the upper hoist corner is the battle flag of the Reich, and the 15 stripes represents each state, with an extra for the capital, Wießtromer B.H.K, and the second largest city, Jörvicksburg. The yellow represents the will of the Amerikanisch people to defend their homeland, and the white represents purity and dignity. The blue saltire is the cross of St. Johannes, the patron saint of Amerika (who was executed in 1631 during the Church of Hollände's breakaway from the Catholic Church, as he was the leader of the movement), and the cross' dark blue color represents the Protestant faith of the reich.


The National Crest contains an Amerikanisch Eagle, a national symbol of the Reich. In the Eagle's claws are olive branches and arrows, meant to symbolize the Reich's willingness to resort to war or peace. The sun in the background represents the idea that the Sun always shines upon the Reich. The wheat surrounding the National Crest symbolizes the nation's agriculture, and the hammer and sickle in the center of the eagle's chest symbolize the strength of Amerikanisch Industry and Agriculture combined.


The Imperial Crest is symbolic of the Imperial Family, the Wittilsbach Dynasty. The surrounding 15 crests symbolize the other Imperial Dynasties of the Reich, the Ohme Dynasty, the Habicht Dynasty, the Kittelsbach Dynasty, the Saien Dynasty, the Sainz Dynasty, the Hindenburg Dynasty, the Mainz Dynasty, the Oranje Dynasty, the Ketscherburg Dynasty, the Klausendorf Dynasty, the Riese Dynasty, the Hüffmann Dynasty, the Frankenmann Dynasty, and the Hauser Dynasty, and the the Metzger Dynasty.

The Amerikanisch Großreich


Amerika i, commonly referred to as Amerika I or the Amerikanisch Großreich, is a consitional monarchy consisting of 13 States and 4 federal districts. The contiguous States and the capitals are in central North America, bordered by Equalsun empire to the west, Baleria to the north, the Südlichsee to the south, and the Atlantische Großee to the east. The Großreich also shares a maritime border with Grand adruvain along the Maranhok-Bahamas strait.. At 2.5 million square kilometers and with 201.5 million people in 2025, the country is the world's sixth-largest by total area and the eighth most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the Reich are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.

Amerika is a developed country and has a large and fast expanding economy by nominal and real GDP, benefiting from an abundance of natural resources and high worker productivity. While the Amerikaner economy is considered post-industrial, the country continues to be one of the world's largest manufacturers. Amerika, being a significant economic and military power, is a prominent political and cultural force, and a leader in scientific research and technological innovations. Overall, Amerika ranks highly in economic freedom, civil rights, and political freedoms, and is a member of several international organizations, including the Confederacy of Allied States. In the CAS, Amerika is a formidable middle power in global politics.

The Complete History of the Reich

Geography

The Imperial Union is divided into thirteen distinct geographical, political, and cultural regions: Algonkinsylavanien, Groenessau, Ostsylvanien, Wendatsylvanien, Pavonien, Blauvayern, Mittellände, Muskogien, Trockenmarck, Maranhok, Asseile, Holkingslände-Bediensburg, and Himmelwasser. The mainland of the Reich is locked between the River Donau (Formally the Mississippi), the Großsee Atlantisch (The Atlantic Ocean), and the Großlachen (Great Lakes). The Reich covers roughly 2.5 million square kilometers, and has multiple geographic features, such as the Zuid-Höchländen (Central Highlands), the Nord-Höchländen (Northern Highlands), and the coastal plains around the coastlines and near the major rivers. A majority of the nation's population and industrial centers are located along the coastlines and rivers, although some cities, such as Wiesbaden am Breigsau and Klagenfurt, are located in the Zuid-Höchländen.

The Reich is a rather unique nation regarding urban areas, as no suburbs technically exist. Where the cities end, the countryside begins, with the occasional village nestled in the countryside. A majority of the Reich's population and industrial centers are located within close proximity to the coastlines and major rivers, in addition to vast farmlands that produce wheat and barley, which is more or less used to produce beer. The nation has approximately 130 national parks, which is an average of 10 National Parks in each State. The Reich is regarded as having one of the most pristinely maintained environments in the world, as the nation has the strictest anti-pollution laws in the region and reserves nearly 10% of its land for National Parks. The Großreich has 15 international airports, and 45 regional airports that provide inter-state transport, making connectivity and productivity easier in the Großreich.

Amerika i has a total population of 196.000 million residents (in both the Amerikaner Homeland and Overseas Territories), making it the fifth most populated in the world, behind Tarazed and Scotatrova. Since the Revolution of 1916, population growth has greatly exceeded the death rate, as healthcare and food were supplied to more Amerikaners by the National Government. Since the 1950s, the population growth rate has exploded from .50% in 1958 to an impressive 1% in 2008. The explosion in population is mainly attributed to vast urbanization projects, a fast growing economy, and a rising standerd of living in both the Amerikaner Homeland and the Amerikaner Overseas Territories.

As of 2018, approximately 75% of Amerikanen live in urbanized areas (In the Amerikaner Homeland). This has been accomplished thanks to heavy investment in compact, urban areas to conserve land and provide maximum housing and comfort to urban residents. Large urban areas, each providing for 200,000 residents each, have been constructed in the mid-1940s through to the early 1960s, as opposed to building large scale suburbs outside major cities. Although effective at first, many of these cities are running out of room for residents. As such, the National and State Governments have worked to expand these urban districts to house upwards of 600,000 residents by the end of 2020. The remaining 25% of Amerikanen not residing in urban areas live in rural farming villages, where farming and agriculture dominate. These villages, housing as many as 2,500 residents each, are scattered across the countryside, and are concentrated along major river systems and transport networks between major urban areas.

The Großreich has a very diverse ethnic background. The nation has approximately 13 different ethnic groups in the nation, mainly from Europe. These are dominated by Slavic and Germanic Groups, such as, Poles, Germans, Hungarians, Dutch, English, Norwegains, although Western European groups, such as Scotatrovians and Parzalians, are present in the Free States of Maranhok and Donau. A cohesive umbrella language, Amerikaans (also known as Amerikanisch), has been developed, with backgrounds in all 13 major languages present in the nation. However, 30% of people in the Großreich speak Amerikaans as a second language, and speak in a language that has migrated to Amerika over the past. These include Hungarian, German, and Scotatrovian, along with numerous other languages from Central and Eastern Europe.

There are about 84,000,000 million adult women in the Amerika in 2018. The number of men was 79,500,000 million. At age 85 and older, there were almost twice as many women as men (5 million vs. 2.6 million). People under 21 years of age made up over a third of the total population (32.0%), and people age 70 and over made up 11.0%. Among the 4,812,500 newborns in Amerika in 2023, 84.5% had two Amerikanisch parents, 12.5% had one Amerikanisch parent, and 3.0% had two non Amerikanisch parents. For the same year, 27.2% of newborns in Amerika had at least one foreign-born parent and 24% had at least one parent born outside of North America and Europe. Between 1999 and 2016, about 25% of newborns in Amerika had one foreign-born grandparent.

Upon independence in 1749, Amerika had a meager population of 16.5 million residents. This growth dipped down to just 15.9 million after a famine in 1770, but following industrialization in the early 1800s, the population exploded thanks to increased advances in medicine, technology, and large scale immigration to the nation. By 1900, the total population had boomed to 85 million residents. Following the 1916 revolution, and improved standards of living, the population growth rate exploded again, breaking 130 million by 1950. Beyond 1950, the population growth rate has declined to a .56% growth rate. Starting in 2000, the population growth rate doubled to 1% in 2018 thanks to breakthroughs in medicine and a booming economy. With the current rate, Amerika's population is predicted to break 300 million by 2050.

Culture

Read Main Article: Amerikaner Culture

From its roots, culture in Amerika has been shaped by major intellectual and popular currents in Europe, both religious and secular. Historically Amerika has been called Das lände der Dichter und Denker ("the land of poets and thinkers"), because of the major role its writers and philosophers have played in the development of Western thought and culture. People with Amerikaner ancestry make up a significant portion of population in Aydean, Neo Rome Republic, and Scotatrova. An Amerikaner cultural influence can be observed in these countries, as well as having smaller influences on other nations scattered across the world.

Amerika is well known for such folk festival traditions as Oktoberfest and influential Christmas customs, which include Advent wreaths, Christmas pageants, Christmas trees, Stollen cakes, and other practices. As of 2015 the CAS inscribed 150 properties in Amerika on the World Heritage List. There are a number of public holidays, such as days for workers and religious celebrations in Amerika determined by each Free State. However, the state declares public holidays quite frequently. These state declared holidays include September 21st has been a national day of Amerika since Weißer Tag (White Day, the day the Revolutionary Nationalist Party's White Army defeated the National Congress' Forces at the Battle of Hauser in 1917).

In the 21st century, Sankt Michäellesburg, along with other major cities like Nieuw Amsterdamsburg and Klagenfurt, have emerged as a major international creative centers, where the fine arts and culture thrive. According to the Anholt–GfK Nation Brands Index, in 2015 Amerika is one of the world's most respected nation among 50 countries (regarding, ahead of Aydean, but behind Leveat. A regional opinion poll for the CAS revealed that Amerika is recognised for having the 3rd most positive influence (regarding culture and the arts) in the region in 2015, behind other European nations such as Scotatrova and Leveat.

Government

The Articles of State, the Amerikaner Constitution

The Amerikaner National Government is a Parliamentary Democracy headed by a Monarch. The Monarch, or Kaiser (English from Amerikaans: Caeser), is the King, who has very limited powers, mainly limited to a kabuki theatre act of approving what the President and Congress and Parliament want to do anyways. However, the Kaiser has the right to propose new ideas for legislation to both legislative bodies, and may nominate Court Justices for the National Court for Administration and Justice (N.C.A.J). Unlike most other monarchies, the Amerikaner Kaiser is elected from the members of the Imperial Dynasty by the Archdukes, or monarchs of each Imperial State. Should the Imperial Family die out, the Archdukes elect one of their own to become the next Kaiser, and that Archduke's family becomes the New Imperial Dynasty.

Foreign Relations and Military

Since the world war era, the Union has adapted a policy of armed neutrality. The Reich still maintains a strong armed force, yet it is usually only used for self defense and humanitarian aid. The Armed Forces are divided into four branches: The Wehrmacht (Army), the Kreigsmarine (Navy), the Luftwaffe (Air-Force), and the Freikorpen (National Guard). All of the branches of the military are under the joint command of the Kaiser and President, except for the Freikorpen, as each State in the Union has direct control over its own Freikorps. In total, the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and Kreigsmarine has a total of 1.5 million personnel a reserve force of 5.1 million, and the all Freikorps combined have 1.4 million personnel.

In general, the Reich has friendly relations with a majority of nations. However, it's closest friends are Aydean, Parzal, Scotatrova, and Grand adruvain. The Reich's strong relations with these nations can be explained by the cultural, political, and economic relations the Reich has with these nations. In addition, the Reich has openly moved to cooperate with nations of the Orient and Africa, such as Mes and Ismeil in recent years. All in all, the Reich's alliances and trade pacts have resulted in the Amerikanisch Reich becoming a nation with a great deal of allies abroad.

The Union has a GDP of €9.3 trillion Coronas, or €20.016 trillion in Papiermarks, which makes it the 10th largest economy in the world. The Union has a GDP per capita of €68,000 Coronas, or €146,000 in Papiermarks. The Amerikaner economy is considered post industrial, although the Union is a leader in manufacturing. The nation's largest trading partners are Hespero-belkia, Scotatrova, Mes, Grand adruvain, Equalsun empire, and Nieblham.

As of 2020, eighty percent of the economy is public sector. Under the current economic model, key sectors of the economy (transport, infrastructure, weapons manufacturing, and energy production) are controlled by the state. Major corporations that provide services and products deemed not necessary for the nation's stregnth are privatley owned, although they are tightly regulated. Small and medium buissness is generally unregulated, although common sense regulations and minimum wage laws apply to most businesses.

The nation's largest industries include manufacturing, informative technology, automobile manufacturing and agriculture. On a yearly basis, the economic growth in the Amerika has been increasing due to an increase in productivity, a large workforce, and abundance of natural resources. On the global market, the largest exports of the Union include manufactured products, automobiles, agricultural products, and construction materials. It's largest imports are advanced electronics, clothing, and luxury products, such as jewelry and liquor.

Despite industry being a major portion of the economy, the overwhelming majority of industrial centers are located within cities. As a result, the vast portions of the countryside have been devoted to farmland. Because of increased productivity and advanced equipment, the Reich is able to produce enough foodstuff to make it sustainable without importing foreign crops. As a result, surplus wheat and barley is often converted into beer, one of the Reich's more famous products. Amerikanisch beer is a significant part of culture in the Reich, and as such, the Reich remains one of the world's largest beer producers.

The Tourism industry, despite being worth €69,885,000,000 a year, has been steadily growing over the previous decades. Attracting an estimated 13,971,000 people a year, a majority of tourists come from wealthier nations in Europe and North America, although tourists from Africa and the Orient has been increasing steadily since the early 2000s.

Infrastructure

As a major player in global markets; the Imperial Union utilizes multiple sectors of industry; however it's economy is led substantially by the manufacturing sector. The Imperial Union makes substantial use of railway lines and subsidizes the use of public transport heavily. As a result, the majority of people use public transport to commute, and those who still use cars use green hybrids or walk to their destination. Amerika is also seeing increasing efficiency in every industrial sector following the successful introduction of basic artificial intelligence into everyday networks. Artificial Intelligence has proven useful in managing urban areas, power plants, freight transport systems and even public commerce routes. This has led to an exponential increase in productivity nationwide and is fuelling an unprecedented period of economic growth.

Since the 1920s, a majority of public infrastructure, such as rail lines, energy plants, and road networks, have been placed under government-run corporations, to ensure that public interest is put before profit. In 2018, 68% of energy is produced by wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power. The remaining 32% of energy is produced through fossil fuels and nuclear power, although the Imperial Union plans to completely phase out use of nuclear and fossil fuel energy by 2030. As of 2018, there are approximately 600,000 kilometers of rail lines and road systems in Amerika, which connect the major cities and industrial centers. With high speed rail lines and road networks connecting Amerika, economic productivity is on a steady increase.
