Liberal States of America (Kingdom of Matrion) The major gods of Matrionism are the following ones:
 * TL;DR: The Kingdom of Matrion is proclaimed by President Matthew Maxus who becomes Matthew I and the capital becomes the city of Matrion. They have a war with the Republic of New Jersey, the City State of New York, the Bahamas and Bermuda, with the nations annexed this year and will be incorporated one way or another next year. Invitations are sent to Midwestern Republic, Adirondack Republic, Novanglia, Dixie, Florida, United Great Lakes to join the Kingdom, while also influencing them by religious propaganda of the Holy Church of Matrionism. Matrion joins the ANSAC, signs an alliance with Mexico and wants to sign an alliance with The Bolívar.
 * History until 2064: After the United States of America were divided between the United Federation of the Earth, the Republic of Mexico, the French Republic, the Empire of Japan and the Identist Union of the Bolívar in 2021, the current territory of the Liberal States of America part of the French Colony of America, created by the French Republic after the war. After the United Cohorts of Western Europe were declared in 2023, the colony was renamed to United Cohorts of America, introducing the cohort system which was created in Europe the same year. However, in 2027, after the National Elections of the United Cohorts, Pierre-Antoine Le Boisselot of the Republican Party (Les Républicains de la Cohorte; LRC) was chosen President, it was decided the the Cohorts System will be abolished and the French Sixth Republic will be proclaimed. However after two years of planning, in order to consolidate his power, he proclaimed the Third French Empire, with him becoming Emperor Pierre-Antoine I. The proclamation of the Empire went without problems and even 'his subjects' have accepted the creation of the Third Empire. However, after 3 years, people realized that even though having a monarchy is good after long, Pierre-Antoine I is not a good Emperor, especially in the colonial aspect, where he started his Francization Project in 2031, trying to convert the originally English-based colony to French by renaming and forcefully converting the American values to French ones. Because of this, in March 7, 2032, several rebel groups were rose up against the Third French Empire, with the Liberal States of America being one of them, trying to reestablish the federal system (the others were the City State of New York, the Republic of New Jersey, the Republic of Dixie / Confederate States of America, the Adirondack Republic and the Republic of Novanglia). In a short amount of time, the Liberal States managed to win the hearts of people and rally a large amount of people. Although the other rebels did the same, their forces were smaller. This resulted in the Second Declaration of Independence in October 5, 2034, and the Liberal States of America leaving the Second American Revolutionary War in 2036 (the rest of the states declared independence after that). 2 years after the peace treaty, a new constitution was adopted, with the first President of the new federal republic (as between 2036 and 2038, the Liberal States of America was having a temporary government that waited for the official elections), John Maxus signing it. As the length of presidential terms were increased to 5 years, John Maxus managed to obtain presidency for three terms, leaving office in 2053. Although during his last term, it looked like that Ethan Harvey will win the elections, however his relatively young son, Matthew Maxus became the next President of the Liberal States, with him being the youngest President ever (counting the predecessor's, the U.S' presidents). Similiar to his father, he was increasingly popular and was elected for three terms, with the last starting from 2063, last year. It is unknown for now what his ambitions are...
 * Government: Following the start of this year, President Matthew Maxus has decided to reorganize the entire political structure of the Liberal States of America in order to make sure that the Maxus family will produce new outstanding leaders throughout history. Because of this, he employs all means to get full support of the Congress. As these plans started during the start of his second term (2058), he managed to gather enough support to start a referendum which gave him the right to amend the constitution. As the new constitution was prepared long ago, it only needed to be officially implemented. By the new constitution, President Matthew Maxus was given full authority to declare war, sign treaties, form alliances and initiate laws, which greatly reduced Congress' power for now. On February 8, 2064, President Matthew Maxus initiated a law which changed the government of the Liberal States of America from 'federal presidential constitutional republic' to a so-called 'semi-absolute monarchy' which gave Matthew the same rights as the new constitution did, but it has given the Congress almost the same level of power, of course, with the right to veto these laws / treaty plans / alliance plans / war plans. On the next day, President Matthew Maxus was crowned as the first king of the young Kingdom of America, becoming Matthew I. He also started to implement several new plans with his rights. The official renaming of the country didn't happen until one of the ideas of Matthew I, the Matrionic Idea haven't started.
 * Matrionic Plans: One of the plans of Matthew I was to establish another national identity, as the amount of countries on the American continent has risen by a large amount after the rebellions against world powers on the territory of the long dead United States of America. As the small city of Elkton (with a population of 20 000 people) in 2015 has became the largest city in the territory of the new Kingdom. This city in 2025 was renamed Matrion by the 'French overlords', as its population growth has surpassed all cities in the territory of the dead United States of America and it also became the state capital of Mayarland (originally Maryland). Because of this, after proclaiming the Kingdom, the royal capital has become Matrion instead of Washington, although the previous capital became an autonomous city. Following the change of the capital city, the country's official name changed to Kingdom of Matrion on February 12, 2064.
 * Propaganda: After the Kingdom was renamed to the Kingdom of Matrion, the Government has released a large amount of propaganda to ensure people's loyalty and in order to have a united ethnic thinking. Because of this propaganda, the 75% of the population of the Kingdom proclaimed themselves of Matrionic ethnicity and this amount will be growing each year.
 * Military / Matrionic Royal Military (MRM): After the proclamation of the Kingdom, the Liberal States Armed Forces were renamed to Matrionic Royal Military, with the Coast Guard integrated into the Marine Corps and the Navy. The Matrionic Royal Military proclaims themselves as the strongest military force in the region that can contend with Canada and the Republic of Dixie's military force. The current funding of the military forces are increased from 15.7% to 17.3%, currently one of the largest percentage in the world.
 * Land Forces / Matrionic Royal Army (MRA): Following the renaming of the Army to Matrionic Royal Army, the structure of the army is also reorganized. Similiar to Ancient Rome, the Army's personnel are divided into Legions, with each legion having 50,000 soldiers at the same time. After this reorganization, the Army is divided into 32 legions and with the growing amount of military forces, new legions will be created.
 * Personnel: This year, the amount of soldiers in the Matrionic Royal Army has grown by another 100 thousand people which resulted in the creation of 2 new reserve legions. Although the Royal Army's forces can't be compared to even larger powers like Mexico and China, it is widely known that the soldiers of the Army go through hard training, which could cause the military might of Matrion to equal almost all of its neighbors combined. By the end of the year, the Matrionic Royal Army has 1,181,000 active military personnel, and 421,000 reserve military personnel.
 * Equipment: Despite the fact that the military equipment was replaced by French original equipment after the American Subjugation War, the country managed to keep up its military technology level with other large powers, as it also helped that it has good relations with the only surviving force of the Anti-American Coalition, the United Mexican States. In top of that, as one of the 'successor states' of the United States of America, they managed to start their original research in order to lose technological dependence to other states. Currently, the Matrionic Royal Army owns 3,404 M9A13 Main Battle Tanks (that are equipped with Railgun IX), 12,318 M10A11 Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), 847 S8P9 Self-Propelled Guns (SPG) and MM790 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS). The weapons used by the army are MG9840 Assault Rifles, which the majority of active soldiers have, and 75% of the Army is equipped with ES-78 lightweight exo-skeleton suits, while 15% is equipped with HES-45 heavyweight exo-skeleton suits.
 * Air Forces / Matrionic Royal Air Force (MRAF): 
 * Naval Forces / Matrionic Royal Navy (MRN): 
 * Marines / Matrionic Royal Marine Corps (MRMC): 
 * National Guard / Matrionic Royal Guard (MRG): 
 * Conflicts: 
 * Matrionic Conquest of New Jersey (National: New Jersey; February 15, 2064 - March 12, 2064): 3 days after the official proclamation of the Kingdom of Matrion, Matthew I declares war on the Republic of New Jersey, as the main ambition of the Kingdom is to unite as much of North America as they can. In the course of one month, the entire Republic was occupied and was integrated into the kingdom as the Region of Trent. The country's capital, Trenton becomes the regional capital of Trent.
 * Matrionic Conquest of New York (National: City State of New York; March 8, 2064 - March 15, 2064): Not long before the New Jersey Republic has become part of the Kingdom of Matrion, in order to make the number of North American countries smaller, Matthew I declares war on the City State of New York. In the course of 1 week, the city state is fully occupied and the situation has stabilized, and on the last day it is annexed. Until the previous State of New York becomes part of the Kingdom of Matrion, New York will become an autonomous city (Autonomous City of New York) similiar to Washington (D.C.).
 * Matrionic Conquest of Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos Islands (National: Bermuda, Bahamas, Turk & Caicos Islands; April 7, 2064 - April 11, 2064): In order to gain some influence in the Caribbean Area, the countries of Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos Islands are invaded. With the overwhelming power of the Kingdom of Matrion compared to these island nations, they are occupied and annexed in the course of 4 days. All three become different territories of the Kingdom, with a possible creation of a new region in the future.
 * Economy: This year, the economy of the Kingdom of Matrion grew from 3.156 trillion dollars to 5.602 trillion dollars, as the economy of the City State of New York, the New Jersey Republic and the three Caribbean/Atlantic nations' economies were easily absorbed into the Kingdom's economy. With the nation possibly becoming one of the biggest economical powers in the world, the amount of businesses grow by a large amount.
 * Analytics: 
 * Religion: After the city of Elkton was renamed, due to some unbelievable reasons, connected to the Paganist Revivalism, the religion of Matrionism was formed, which was essentially a new religion. This has grown to a point where Christian believers are a rarity, and the territory of the Kingdom of Matrion and some of its bordering states (Adirondack Republic, New Jersey, New York, eastern Midwestern Republic, eastern United Great Lakes and western Novanglia) have mostly Matrionism believers or irreligious / agnostic / atheist people. Currently in the Kingdom of Matrion, 87.3% are Matrionists, 12.5% are irreligious / agnostic / atheist, while the remaining 0.2% are Christians or Mexicans (religion).
 * Religion of Matrionism: In the 2020s when it first appeared, the religion of Matrionism was a new thing for people of America, as they were either Christians or Muslims, which are monotheistic as opposed to the Matrionist movement which is a polytheist religion. However, the belief of the people quickly changed, as by 2030, 30% of the current territory of the Kingdom of Matrion were believers of Matrionism, and there were also similiar levels in the neighboring countries and these numbers were quickly growing in the next 34 years. In 2035, the Holy Church of Matrionism was founded in the city of Matrion, which would be a similiar organization to the Roman Catholic Church, but based on Matrionism. Matrionist belief says that the Great God Matrion started the Big Bang / creation of this universe and let time take its course. In order to make sure the species of the universe will not try to become Gods, he also let his subordinate Gods watch over the universe. Unlike most other religions, which don't believe Gods other than the ones of their own religion exist, Matrionism states that even though this universe (as Matrionism supports the Theory of Multiple Universes/Multiverse) was created by the Great God Matrion, a large amount of other Gods wanted to spread their influence to this realm, which was only possible through champions (the people who started teaching the beliefs of that/those Gods), but he himself didn't choose a champion until what we call the 2020s, when the first belief in Matrionism started. The reason was that he only chose a champion this late into history was because people's belief in Gods started to become smaller and smaller and they also started worshipping fake Gods (Gods that don't exist even though they have believers), and he wanted to stop that in his realm. The person chosen was the Founder of the Holy Church of Matrionism was Aiden Stevens, who is still the religious leader of the Church.
 * Greater God Matrion, the Creator of this Universe
 * God Mayer - the God of the Sky and the Seas
 * Goddess Doves - the Goddess of Love, Marriage, Family and Beauty
 * Goddess Chiana - the Goddess of Life and Death; the Processor of Reincarnation of Souls
 * God Vargus - the God of Wisdom, Literature, Handicrafts, Craftsman and Science
 * God Kenshis - the God of War, Violence, Bloodshed
 * Goddess Daye - the Goddess of Elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light and Darkness)
 * God Vekros - the God of Commerce, Money, Wine and Service; the Messenger of Gods
 * Culture: Due to the careful planning of 30 years by the Maxus family and the mass propaganda released by the Kingdom, 92.3% of the people of the current territory of the Kingdom of Matrion think of themselves as Matrionic, with the rest evenly divided between Dixian, Midwestern, and even having some Mexican.
 * Population: In 2064, the population of the Kingdom of Matrion is 173,419,751 by the end of the year. Originally at the start of this year, the population was 143 million, but the annexation of the four countries brought around 30 million people into the Kingdom's territory. Despite the fact that the population is growing normally, a three child policy is established to encourage population growth even further, with a couple having atleast three children by the age of 45. Considering war and diplomatic trends and the current population growth, the population will be 190 million next year. As for the life expectancy of the people, it is 93.2 for men and 95.4 for women.
 * Regions: After the proclamation of the Kingdom of Matrion, the state system of the Liberal States of America is abolished and it is replaced by royal regions. Although all of them (except for Indiana and Ohio, which had some of their territories snatched away by the United Federation to connect Eastern Michigan with the rest of the states annexed by them) had the same territory as in the United States, the territories are reorganized.
 * Royal Capital of Matrion: After the declaration of the Kingdom of Matrion, it has become the royal capital of the Kingdom. Originally, the City of Matrion was called the Town of Elkton, but after the fall of the United States in the 2020s, it experienced a population boom, probably because of the rise of the religion of Matrionism. In 2025 the city was renamed to Matrion, and has reached a population of 1 million. Despite it becoming the largest city in the country, its development speed haven't stopped and is considered the city with the quickest development in the world. It is one of the largest tourist spots in the Kingdom of Matrion and it also serves as a religious center for Matrionists. Currently, the population of the city of Matrion is 17.3 million people, and the statistical area of Matrion has 24.5 million people.

 * Diplomacy: 
 * United Mexican States: As the two nations had good relations ever since the Liberal States of America's independence, even after the proclamation of the Kingdom of Matrion, the relations still remain good. To make sure that these relations will not fall, the Kingdom of Matrion accepts Mexico's alliance, trade agreement and non-agression pact proposal, and to ensure easier collaboration, the Kingdom of Matrion wishes to have open border if the two nations will get land borders.
 * Association of North and South American Countries (ANSAC): As the Kingdom of Matrion wishes to have cooperation between other North and South American countries, they agree to join the semi-political; economical alliance. To make cooperation even better, the Kingdom of Matrion proposes to start a research agreement between member nations to ensure their technological growth to be equal. Similiar to Mexico, they deny to entry of the Republic of Deseret and the Republic of Dixie.
 * Royal Federation of the Bolívar: As the Bolívar proposed the idea of the ANSAC and the two nations relatively good relations before, the Kingdom of Matrion wishes to have a military alliance between them and the Royal Federation of Bolívar in top of the ANSAC. They also ask them not to invite Deseret and Dixie into the ANSAC.
 * Most Post-US Nations: In top of sending them invitations to join the Kingdom of Matrion, through the influence of the Holy Church of Matrionism (who wish for an united nation of Matrionist believers), mass propaganda is spread through these nations to persuade the governments and the people of these nations to join the Kingdom to make it easier for them to join.
 * Adirondack Republic: As the two nations have the same religion and are similiar in several aspect despite only having neutral relations, the Kingdom of Matrion asks the Adirondack Republic to join the Kingdom of Matrion as new regions, with the current capital city, Boston, becoming one of the autonomous cities of the Kingdom (similiar to the previous capital of the Kingdom of Matrion/Liberal States of America, Washington (D.C.)).
 * United Great Lakes Republic: Similiar to the Adirondack Republic, the Kingdom of Matrion and the United Great Lakes Republic have the same religion. Although the two nations have a little bit different cultures because the Kingdom of Matrion was originally under French influence, while the United Great Lakes Republic was under United Federation influence, its not that different as they were both part of the United States of America. With this status, the Kingdom of Matrion sends a proposal to the United Great Lakes Republic to join the Kingdom of Matrion. Similiar to the Adriondack Republic, the city of Chicago could become one of the autonomous cities in the Kingdom of Matrion.
 * Republic of Dixie: Dixie, one of the nations that is relatively equal to the Kingdom of Matrion in strength of the US successor states, has an interesting relationship with the Kingdom of Matrion. As the Republic of Dixie is also called the Confederate States of America, it is generally believed that they consider themselves as the successor state of the original Confederate States of America instead of the United States of America, even though in reality, it is not true. Although the two nations have neutral relationship with each other, the true nature of this relationship is a rivalry because of the predecessor nations. Despite this fact, the Kingdom of Matrion wants the Republic of Dixie to join them, as together, they could be considered on nearly equal grounds to the other American superstates (Mexico, Bolívar, Brazil and maybe La Plata). With it, it is possible to achieve the dream of recreating the 'American Empire'.
 * Midwestern Republic: Unlike other nations that border the Kingdom of Matrion, the Midwestern Republic / Federation of the Midwest was created from what remained of the United Stated during the USA Subjugation War, though it expanded into former colonial areas of the United Federation. Because of this, the ambition of the Midwestern Republic is to regain as much of the United States as it can. As the Midwestern Republic and the Kingdom of Matrion have the same ambition and have a large amount of Matrionist believers, the Kingdom of Matrion asks them to join the Kingdom, as they are the only post-US nation that can help them to realize their ambition (Mexico doesn't count because they are not of "U.S. origin"). Although there will be some changes, it will be considered good in the long run.
 * Republic of Novanglia & Republic of Florida: Both nations are sent an invitation to join the Kingdom of Matrion, using the idea of both the 'American Empire' and the Matrionist belief (although Novanglia has a large Matrionist population, Florida only has a small population because of Dixie stopping the spread of the religion).
