USA:

Economy: The USA decides to improve trade relations w/Scandinavia as well as the other nations in Scandinavia's alliance. A proposition is put forward to make a Kiel Canal, the treaty is explained in Diplomacy. Another offer of an EU-style economic union is sent to Cascadia, just look at how the EU works to figure that one out. (Note: The USA/Cascadia can keep currency, but they must each have convertible bank accounts and display prices for each currency)

Military: The USA largely contributes to its alliance and continues to expand the naval fleet just as the US did OTL. Small amounts of soldiers are being deployed in Britain, in the hopes of strengthening the European frontier. A national draft is also ordered, bringing perhaps another 30,000 troops in every month until the total manpower count reaches 5 million troops.

Education: The Education Act is passed, making higher education at universities a given right, reducing tuition to $0.00. Literacy improves by 2% due to these new measures and once poor families are beginning to see success due to the promotion of colleges and universities.

Diplomacy:

Scandinavia/Germany: As stated before, an initiative to construct the Kiel Canal is proposed. Kiel itself, as well as the canal, would be an American protectorate, but all of Scandinavia's allies will pay nothing to cross the Canal, and the crossing fee for other alliances will be split evenly among all of Scandinavia's allies.
