The United Kingdoms of America - A Game of Thrones

After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutional Convention concluded that the only way to keep the 13 colonies together, as a single strong and independent nation, was to form a monarchy.  The new Constitution would create a Parliament where the colonies would be represented --but ultimately power would fall into the hands of the Monarch.

The delegates called for George Washington to be the first King of the United Kingdoms of America --but he declined calling the monarchy system a "failure."

After a brief power struggle, the Constitutional Convention would rally around John Adams of Massachusetts as their first King.

The First 100 Years

King John [Adams] I would convene the first Parliament. The first Parliament would elect Adam's adversary Thomas Jefferson as their Prime Minister. Jefferson and the King would perpetually be at each others throats --Adams would build up the army and navy and resolving the "Quasi War" with France in face of Prime Minister Jefferson's opposition to Adam's actions.

Adams would die on July 4, 1826 and the throne would pass onto his son John Quincy Adams, better known as King John II.

King John II would continue, as his father did, to allow slavery in kingdoms that chose to allow it but his revulsion against slavery grew as his reign went on. Southern kingdoms would ignore decrees and edicts issued by John II limiting slavery while the Parliament ignored slavery as an issue altogether.

King John II's biggest success would be gaining ally Henry Clay as Prime Minister even though Clay proved ineffective at moving the slavery issue.

July 4th?  That's ironic.  Interesting timeline, and a realistic one too!  I could definitely see this happening.  Please continue. 

Well not necessarily ironic, that was the day both he and Jefferson died.

The First 100 Years continued

After Clay's departure from the legislature, King John II would lose his key ally --and his reign would never be the same. Prime Minister Andrew Jackson, a war hero from the brief war with Spain in 1812, would work to weaken the power of the monarchy.

Charles Francis Adams would succeed John II on the White Throne naming himself King Charles I. King Charles had watched his father's failures with slavery and would almost immediately dissolve Parliament and decree that slavery be "honored" even in kingdoms where it was outlawed.

Once Parliament resumed, King Charles I would essentially a saint amongst southern kingdoms.

The First 100 Years continued

King Charles I would rule over a strong period in the Industrial Revolution. King Charles I had a keen eye for the failures of the previous two monarchs. Unlike King John I, King Charles I positioned himself to stay out of European affairs and, Charles I thought he handled the slavery issue adeptly.

The Northern and many Western Kingdoms would begin to resent the White Throne for forcing them to respect "backwards" laws on slavery in their own lands. To remedy this King Charles I would appoint wardens, one of the North, the South, and the West. These wardens would be the King's eyes, ears and hammer.

After 38 years of rule including a brief war with Mexico, the White Throne would pass to John Quincy Adams II, who would be known as King John III.

The First 100 Years continued

After 38 years of rule including a brief war with Mexico, the White Throne would pass to John Quincy Adams II, who would be known as King John III.

King John III grew up weak and sickly, and when he took the throne many did not expect him to last as long as 38 years --like his father did. King John III did enforce the same policies of his father King Charles I --but through his father's wardens.

King Charles I's wardens of the West and North were tough during Charles' reign but were ruthless during King John III's reign --knowing him to be a weak King. The wardens exercised their own will over the Kingdoms believing it to be an extension of the previous king's policies.

Parliament cried fowl, but their cries went unheard. King John III had little respect for Parliament and was, frankly, too sickly to care.

During King John III's reign, the economy would sink due to lack of action by the king. On August 14, 1894 King John III would die and the crown would pass on.

After the death of King John III, John Quincy Adams II, three people claimed the throne.

The First: The first person to claim the throne was Charles Francis Adams Jr. Charles Francis Adams Jr was the son of King Charles I, and next-eldest brother to King John III. Adams Jr was not the rightful heir to the throne --he knew it, but he did not wanted the throne for himself and felt the other candidates were weak. It was Charles Francis Adams Jr who secured the United Kingdoms of America's capital - Boston - immediately after the King's death. Charles Francis Adams Jr's bannermen would primarily come from Massachusetts. Charles Francis Adams Jr would effectively dissolve Parliament.

The Second: Charles Francis Adams III was not the rightful heir to the throne --the second eldest son of King John III. Charles Francis Adams III resided in New Hampshire, and upon his father's death, declared the throne his, and immediately began to march his forces south onto Boston. Charles Francis Adams III's bannermen would primarily come from New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.

The Third: George Caspar Adams was the rightful heir to the throne, and like his father he was weak. George Caspar Adams would reluctantly challenge his brother and Uncle for the throne when pushed to by his advisers.  George Caspar Adams' reluctance to call upon the United Kingdoms to support his war and come to his aide would melt the glue that held the United Kingdoms together.

The Rest

As the War of Three Kings broke out, members of Parliament returned home more frustrated and angry than ever. Many felt, correctly, that the Monarchy did not care about the needs of The People or of Parliament.

The Wardens of the North, South and West immediately began to squabble about which King to support. The Warden of the North supported King John III's uncle, a strong commander like himself. The Warden of the West would support King John III's second eldest son, and the Warden of the South would support the reightful heir, George Caspar Adams.

The Kingdoms, would take the opportunity to support their own --and create a new lineage for the White Throne. The first few weeks of the War of Three Kings were quiet outside of New England. Many wanted to see if the war would be won quickly. It was not --and George Caspar Adams' reluctance to call the nation to war gave an opening for those who had been kept down by tyranny, to rise up.

Many, many, would declare themselves King.  After some time, Kingdoms began to rally around certain factions and families (See Map).

By December 1894, the American Civil War was in full gear.

Just a note about the map. Don't take the color coding for complete control. It doesn't signify that. It signifies majority control (terms of bannermen & territory) or higher for that faction.

The Civil War Continued

By Spring 1895, the Charles Frances Adams Jr, the Uncle of King John III, had taken George Caspar Adams' life and territory, however; Adams Jr did not control all of the United Kingdoms of America or even New England, heck, Charles Francis Adams Jr was not even the rightful heir still, as it technically passed to Charles Francis Adams III.

Charles Francis Adams III tried to call the rest of the United Kingdoms to his side when he claimed the throne (rightfully) but, the time had passed for when the Union could be saved so easily.

In the west, William Jennings Bryan was holding off McKinley and had effectively gotten George Stoneman Jr of California to bend the knee to him.

In the south, John Henniger Reagan of Texas and Alexander Davis were approaching a new battle line as they routed Jefferson Davis' forces from his loyal lands.

In the north, Wilson Cary Nicholas Randolph was not meant for war and quickly bent the knee to Roosevelt --but some lands were quickly went to Alexander Stephens instead.


By summer 1895, William Jennings Bryan had taken or received the loyalty of most of the United Kingdoms of America. In New England, the "two Kings" still fought --and in the south, Alexander Stephens routed John Henniger Reagan from Texas.  Bryan and Stephens turned to each other, for the final stage of the war.

Stephens initially, it seemed, had the upperhand quickly taking territory along the eastern coach on his march to Boston. Stephens thought that he who held the White Throne in Boston, held the power. Stephens was wrong.

After a month long seige on Boston and the sorrounding area, Stephens' forces finally took it at great cost. Stephens declared himself King as his home in the south fell to William Jennings Bryan.

On June 7, 1896 William Jennings Bryan sat on the White Throne and declared himself King of the United Kingdoms of America, and titled himself King William I, the first of the line of Bryan.

I like this.  Did King Charles II get assassinated or abdicate, and if so, when?

King Charles II would be killed when Boston was sacked by Alexander Stephens.

The First World War


King William I's first act was to call Parliament into session and be one of the first King's to actively work with Parliament. King William I would have a pact with Parliament, respecting their authority and powers --to an extent. King William promised to get (non-binding) Parliamentary approval before going to war, and gave Parliament greater leverage with budgets and executive agencies --as long as they didn't interfere with the King's personal budget.

All of this, was called the Voice Compact because absolutely none of it was written down formally. The only act that King William I asked for, or demanded, in return was that the upper-house of Parliament be elected by the people and not appointed. Parliament would pass this measure --but only if the entire Parliament, and not just the lower House, could vote for the Prime Minister.

That fine print would screw King William I. When the election was held, his supporters would lose the majority.

Eugene Debbs, a supporter of Karl Marx, would take the reigns of Prime Minister and Debbs had planned to fight the King on not doing enough for the people, and fought for more control of all aspects of life.

As World War One broke out in Europe, Debs and much of Parliament called for the United States to stay out of the war. King William I agreed. The United States stayed out of World War I which ended in 1918. The pacifist position of the United States influenced the rest of the America's to stay out of the war, minus Canada.

Why was parliament dissolved for such a long time in 1848 and 1862?

I wouldn't call it "such a long time" and I'm pretty sure I addressed it in the timeline. Nonetheless,   the King can call for a new election whenever he wants...and then there has to be a primary, general...

The First World War Continued


The lack of US involvement in World War One would keep the rest of the Americas from jumping in, excluding Canada. In the end, the Germans would come within 10 miles of Paris, but no further because the French would sue for peace on behalf of the Allies.

The Treaty of Berlin was signed in 1916. Belgium and the Netherlands would be incorporated into Germany, as would Alsace Lorraine in France. Serbia and northern Greece would be carved up by Bulgaria and the Austro Hungarian Empire. The Germans would make minors gains along the Russian-German border. The Ottoman Empire would make minors gains along its southern borders.

Germany would reap the most benefits, taking Belgium and Netherland's colonies overseas.

After the war ended, Americans would be mixed about their choice to stay out of the war. In the end, Americans would --by a slim margin--see the results of the war as enough of a negative to oust Debbs as Prime Minister.

In the 1920's the United Kingdoms of America would enter a deep depression, possibly the worst in American history. Growing tension and inaction in Parliament, along with a declining King, would only damper morale. In July 1925, the crown would pass to America's first female monarch, Queen Ruth I, the daughter of King William I.

Her first act would be to dissolve Parliament and to immediately call for new elections. Queen Ruth called on Americans to only support those who believed that women should have the right to vote --and mandated that all women be allowed to vote, own property, and demand equal pay. She would also mandate prohibition in the United Kingdoms.

These radical moves would not be without consequence.

The Great Turmoil


In the immediate days after Queen Ruth's coronation, it seemed like civil war was once again inevitable. The nation was in despair over the depression, and a female monarch was unheard of. Ruth took to the airwaves, on the radio, and spoke of her vision for America. She soothed people while simultaneously swiftly taking steps to remove any potential adversaries.

Fortunately, or not, a second civil war was avoided in those coming months. Women were allowed to vote, the demands for equal pay were often unmet and unenforced, and organized crime took a foothold in America due to Queen Ruth's ban on alcohol.

Queen Ruth had a great relationship with Prime Minister Joseph P. Kennedy, however; he lost the Prime Minister's seat in 1928 and would not reclaim it until 1932.

In Europe, France was doing poorly having lost World War One. French anger brewed towards the Germans who they felt had taken their land. The Dutch and Flemish would be divided on if their lives were better or not under German rule --but nonetheless many felt nationalism for their own country.

In Germany the, Weimar Republic would become more Democratic while in France, authoritarian figures rose to power demonizing the German people and state.

The Great Turmoil Continued

By the end of the 1920s and beginning of the 1930s the worldwide depression was evident in every aspect of life.

In 1931, at Queen Ruth's very public birthday party, a French national who moved to the United States before World War One shot and killed Queen Ruth I --the first assassination of an American monarch. The assailant would later testify that the American decision to not enter the first World War gave the war to Germany, and that Americans were ungrateful for the help the French gave them during the American Revolution.

Queen Ruth's daughter, Ruth, would subsequently take the throne titling herself Queen Ruth II. Queen Ruth II, in blind anger, would condemn the French and call their country "an uncivilized wasteland." Queen Ruth II would ultimately dissolve Parliament just to interrupt the trial of the French national and have him quartered in the capitol, Boston.

Queen Ruth II's blind anger would overflow into the minds of the American people. She would say "If the French want to lose another war, we can give it to them."

In Europe, the French were outraged by American rhetoric, and even went as far to initially condemn the assassination. After Queen Ruth II's outrage the French foreign minister was caught saying "Hopefully her end will be much like her mother's."

Otherwise, economic conditions in Europe were no better as the French and Germans militarized their borders as a radical leftist governments came to power in Spain and Portugal.

The Second World War

The Second World War would officially begin on July 26, 1932, a year after the assassination of Queen Ruth I. The French, correctly suspecting an impending American attack, would lay siege to the American Island of Bermuda in the Atlantic while invading former French territories in Europe.

The French were joined by the Spanish and Portuguese and titled themselves the Western Order, while the United Kingdoms of America and  Germany were generally referred to as the Boston-Berlin Pact.

In the United Kingdoms of America, Parliament would overwhelmingly approve of the decision to go to war, willingly granting Queen Ruth II broad and unchecked power --powers that her mother and grandfather had given to Parliament.

The war would not go well for the Americans. Unable to establish a beachhead in Europe after a failed, and often criticized, invasion at Normandy, the Queen would turn her attention to French colonies in Africa.

By 1933, Germany was pushed back by the French and was begging for help. The French, overplaying their hand attacked Italy--another actor they saw as helping the Germans. In response to the invasion of Italy --Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary would join the war in support of the Boston-Berlin Pact. This escalation would concern communist Russia.

In 1934, after mild gains in Africa, the American forces would arrive in Italy to push back the French threat. By mid 1934, the Boston-Berlin Pact would have pushed back the French advance.

However, the gains the Americans made in Africa would spark a land dispute, ultimately leading to the United Kingdom joining the French side of the war. Sensing an opportunity, Japan would join the Boston-Berlin Pact.

As the war escalated, momentum seemed to be on the side of the Boston-Berlin Pact. Communist Russia would not allow the Western Order to fall and would enter the war on their side.

By 1935 the war was divided as such upon the Mexican entrance into the war:

Western Order - France, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, El Salvador, San Jose, elements of China, Australia, New Zealand

Boston-Berlin Pact - United Kingdoms of America, Germany, Italy, Austro Hungarian Empire, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, elements of China,

The Second World War

With the United States facing two fronts at home, and a unsuccessful front in Africa against the British, it turned its attention home. The Queen would order gains in Africa to be fortified but all offensive activity to be halted.

At home, Mexico and Canada invaded the United Kingdoms of America. It was the first invasion since the formation of the nation. Queen Ruth II called on the nation to stop the foreign threat, but few were willing to question her flawed leadership.

1936 would become a scary year for Americans. Unprepared, the United Kingdoms of America would lose ground in every theater of conflict. In Africa, the Americans would lose their defensive positions, and in North America they would lose parts of the western United Kingdoms of America. People legitimately feared that they would lose the war.

In Europe, the European aspects the Boston-Berlin Pact were being pushed back by the Russian advance --but they managed to hold their western front.

In 1937, supply caught up with demand in the United Kingdoms of America. The Americans finally had enough manpower and resources to push back against the Canadian and Mexican onslaught.  By spring 1938, the Canadians surrendered to the Americans and the South American arm of the Western Order was pushed back to Mexico City. In Europe, a stalemate.


In 1939, the South American part of the Western Order would come to a peace agreement with the Boston-Berlin Pact. The United Kingdoms of America would annex all territories north of 23.17 north (in latitude). The United Kingdoms of America would also annex all Caribbean Islands that were in the Western Order. The remaining countries in the Western Order (south of 23.17 north) would keep their independence but give exclusive trading rights to the United Kingdoms of America.

The way the arrangement worked, the country of Mexico would no longer exist. It would split into Oaxaca, Guadalajara and Villahermosa.

In Europe, the defeat of the western arm of the Western Order would shaken the resolve of the Western Order --but it would not change the stalemate.

In 1940, American forces made another attempt to land in Europe and were unsuccessful once again, but the movement of Western Order forces to defend against the potential invasion let to a break in the stalemate as Boston-Berlin Pact forces quickly sped towards France's capitol of Paris.

The Battle of Paris would last three days and be one of the bloodiest battles in the war, ultimately the Western Order would keep Paris and repel the Boston-Berlin Pact's advance.

Prime Minister Joseph P. Kennedy would lose his seat in Parliament defending the country's attempt at landing in Europe for a second time. New Prime Minister Glen Nye would advocate for the United Kingdoms leaving the alliance and the war.

Nye wasn't alone. Americans overwhelmingly put Nye's party, and those of his view, in the majority in Parliament. They had successfully defended their homeland and saw no need to help anyone in Europe. The Europeans did not help them when they needed it.

In 1940, Parliament passed an act stripping the Queen of her budgetary powers and gave her "office" an allowance. Queen Ruth II rejected the bill, calling it "an insult to the Monarchy." To further rub salt in her wounds, Parliament continued to pass bills limiting the Queen's power over the military, and largely reducing her role to a ceremonial one. Nye would call the acts "democracy" while the Queen called it an "act of tyranny."

In 1941, Queen Ruth II dismissed Parliament, but Nye rejected the motion calling "without merit" and stated that the Queen had no power to remove elected officials from office. On April 8, 1941 Queen Ruth II called upon the Armed Forces of the United Kingdoms of America to disband Parliament by force. The alliances of the military split, and there started the Second American Civil War.

The Second American Civil War

Unlike the first American Civil War, the factions in the Second American War would be only two. The first faction, called the Ruthless (because they were without Queen Ruth II) would support the Parliament and saw their leader as Prime Minister Glen Nye. The second faction, called the Loyalists, saw their champion as Queen Ruth II and supported the throne over Parliament.

Because the war broke out so suddenly, and so soon after the defeat of both Canada and the Western Order in central and South America --guerilla fighters quickly sprung up in the annexed territories. These fighters were nationalistic and wanted the full independence of the annexed territories in North America.

Simultaneously, American forces abroad were without leadership. Some generals claimed leadership to one faction, others to another, those under them were also confused as to their allegiances. This led to the decimation of American forces in Africa, and Asia.

In Europe, the Berlin-Boston Pact would fail in 1942 with the surrender of Germany to the Western Order. Japan would negotiate a separate peace with the Western Order, one that was beneficial to both parties. Germany would be stripped of much of its territory and forced to pay huge war damages --as was the rest of the European part of the Boston-Berlin Pact.

Over the years, resentment would form towards the United Kingdoms of America for, what the Germans saw, as turning their back on Germany. The Western Order accepted a one sided "cease fire" with the United Kingdoms of America...on their behalf.

Prime Minister Nye would accept the cease fire, while Queen Ruth II would reject it. In 1943, a year after World War Two ended, the military forces of the Loyalists would come to an agreement with the Ruthless that would end the Second American Civil War, and increase the pay of the military.

As part of the agreement, which ironically did not involve Queen Ruth II, Queen Ruth II would remain as monarch but only in a ceremonial role. As long as the military recognized this, Nye's faction --and Parliament --were happy. Polls showed that the American people viewed it as a compromise and were happy too.

Queen Ruth II would "reign" until her death in 2001, but would remain ceremonial and would become quieter and quieter for every year after the war.

Prime Minister Nye's first priority at the end of the war was to put down the guerilla fighting in the annexed territories, and to sign a formal peace agreement with the eastern faction of the Western Order. The peace agreement would have the United Kingdoms of America give up territorial claims in the eastern hemisphere, which Nye and Parliament agreed to in 1944.

1944-1960's

In 1944 Prime Minister Nye was the most powerful person in the United Kingdoms of America --and for the first time was that person not the Monarch. With the military appeased, the guerrilla fighting subdued, and the United States withdrawn from international affairs, he could finally focus his attention on problems at home.

The war have pushed many women into the workforce, so Parliament passed laws expanding worker's rights (especially for women) and set a federal minimum wage. Nye's Ruthless Party won in a landslide election in the general election after the ware ended, but an organized opposition party was forming simultaneously.

Prior to Nye's Ruthless Party, there were those who opposed the Monarch's agenda, and those who supported it, but there were no organized parties otherwise. Now, with the absence of a powerful Monarch, parties formed.

The Ruthless Party slowly turned into an isolationist, pro-labor and pro-coal party with broad populist support. The opposition was made up of economic elites, many employers, and those who wanted the United Kingdoms of America to do more business with the rest of the world.

The opposition thought they had a leader in MP Wendell Wilkie but with his passing in 1944,  leadership was up in the air.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the United Kingdoms of America would enter a period of economic boom. Nye would remain resistant to business leaders who wanted more trade with other countries --but nonetheless the economy grew especially into the annexed territories which were now full-fledged kingdoms in the UKA.

MP Earl Warren would take on the mantle of the leader of the opposition party, calling themselves the Nationalist Party whose goal was to open America to trade and business from all around the world --the opposite of the crux of Nye's beliefs. Over time, the Nationalist Party would take on pro-business, pro-globalization and free trade stances. They would be more liberal socially in comparison to the more socially conservative Ruthless Party.

Both parties would support a staunchly ceremonial monarch.

Nye would ultimately step down as Prime Minister, followed briefly by Henry A. Wallace and then in 1954, Earl Warren would be elected Prime Minister after the Nationalist Party gained enough seats to form a majority in Parliament.

Warren would enact the very policies that he campaigned on. Pro-business and pro-trade, however; the inflow of cheap goods from other countries would prompt the Ruthless Party to support tariffs on imported goods to keep foreign prices higher than American products. This change would end Warren's tenure as Prime Minister and put the Ruthless Party back in power.

Prime Minister Barry Goldwater would follow Warren, however; Goldwater never had a chance as the economy crashed in 1961 and Goldwater's tenure as Prime Minister with it. History would not remember if Goldwater did anything after it crashed, just that he was in power when it happened and subsequently lost in 1964.

Second Half of the 20th Century

The Nationalist Party, back in power under Prime Minister Reagan, immediately began to facilitate trade with the rest of the world once again. Subsequent losses by the Ruthless Party would force them to change their own stance on isolationism and bring it closer to where the Nationalist Party was --and a more protectionist stance.

Prime Minister Reagan stepped down early for health reasons and was followed by the first Prime Minister from the Canadian kingdoms, Pierre Trudeau. Trudeau would pursue the same goals as Reagan but most importantly, Trudeau saw a rising power in Germany which had animosity towards the United Kingdoms.

In Europe, France was controlled by a leftist authoritarian who allowed elections and democracy on the local level. In Germany, democracy had more or less been pushed out the window after years and years of struggling to regain their economy stability after World War Two. In much of Europe, it was the same --even in states that were on the winning side of the war, like Spain and Portugal. They saw the United Kingdom and France as reaping the benefits, with none for themselves.

In 1970, Germany would form the Rejuvenation Treaty with Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands the declining Austro Hungarian Empire, Italy, Sweden and Finland. This Rejuvenation Treaty would be the embodiment of bad feelings towards the main powers in the Western Order -- Russia, France and the United Kingdom, however; it would also harvest hatred towards the United Kingdoms of America.

Prime Minister Trudeau saw the potential threat and attempted to meet with leaders of the Rejuvenation Treaty, and was allowed to speak before them until he was humiliated and cast out of their chamber hall in Berlin.
