The United States of America:

 * Wars and Conflicts: The United States involves itself with many wars to expand its influence in Africa, North America, and the Pacific this year.
 * American Unification War against Canada (January 2, 2017 - Present): After the election of an Anti-American leader who is opposed to unification, American forces launch a massive attack into Canada. Due to a disproportionately weaker military, most of the major cities in Ontario, which are close to the border, are overrun by March. By December, most of southern Canada is occupied, and the nation is split in half as American forces reach the Hudson Bay. The war is expected to end within 2 years. 7,202 American soldiers are killed this year. Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia are added as states.
 * American Occupation of Greenland (June 1, 2017 - July 4, 2017): With the wars currently ongoing against Denmark in Europe, President Johnson sees it fit to quickly take Greenland to secure the northeastern flank of North America to be helpful against possible invasions and a base for planes attacking northern Canadian military outposts. Thus, American paratroopers quickly land in all major towns on the island, and Danish forces on the island surrender. Greenland is annexed as the 54th American state. American casualties are 8 soldiers who die of hypothermia.
 * Mexican Drug War (March 27, 2017 - Present): American forces are sent into Mexico this year to assist the government to regain control over parts of the nation in anarchy. This year, most of northwestern Mexico is stabilized, and this reduces illegal immigration into the United States by 128,000 people, as stabilized areas and a resurgent Mexican economy allows for less people leaving. American casualties are 3 ICTT-16s, and 24 soldiers.
 * Seizure of the Gulf of Aden (August 15, 2017 - August 15, 2017): American forces that have recently seized Djibouti (now called American East Africa) now receive orders to seize control of the Gulf of Aden from Yemen to block shipping from American and British enemies. That day, American forces seize the island in the strait and lock down the waterway. About 700 American troops land in Yemen and seize the other side of the strait. No deaths are reported and no further attacks are made. (Note: the Yemen NPC can attempt war to bring the occupied region back under it's control).
 * Second Seizure of the Pacific Islands (November 19, 2017 - November 28, 2017): American forces based in Pacific island begin a second string of occupations, with American forces quickly seizing control over all remaining island nations in the Pacific Ocean, with the exception of major nations like New Zealand. The only fighting that occurs is in the Solomon Islands, and that ends within 10 days. Only 12 American soldiers are killed. The islands are all added to the state of Hawaii, now renamed to Pacifica.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Imperial Empire of Japan: American soldiers in Japan begin joint exercises, and an official alliance is signed. American destroyers and submarines also start to escort Japanese naval and civilian vessels in international waters.
 * United Mexican States: A total of 4,000 soldiers, 1,000 MPs, and 20 T-16 Tanks are sent into Mexico to assist the current government in regaining complete control over parts of the country from drug cartels.
 * People's Republic of China: The United States demands that the PRC refrain from harassing Japanese vessels or they will be fired upon by American escorts. The United States also creates an economic embargo against the Peoples' Republic of China, refusing to let any Chinese imports into the country. Other nations are encouraged to join the embargo. The American Pacific Fleet, which is passing China towards India, also sails in the South China Sea region claimed by the PRC on April 4.
 * Venezuela: An American funded coup is put in place, as CIA agents assist 26,000 Venezuelans by arming them with 2000s era military equipment (America uses new equipment now) to topple the current regime and replace them with a more pro-western government willing to allow oil companies from the United States, Mexico, and Britain to set up shop in the country.
 * Russia: The country is embargoed by the United States.
 * France: The country is embargoed by the United States.
