United States of America
 * Backstory: This shows the whole backstory of the US essentially. However the year 2032 backstory is not canon since it started right off in 2032 rather than 2033 but I'll include all of 2032 events.
 * Government
 * 2032 Presidential Election (November 2032): See the backstory for the rest of the election, I'm not making a full paragraph here. Paul Ryan is elected President as a Republican candidate.
 * Elizabeth Warren's Legacy: Her legacy is not as what she promised for two terms consecutively. Her promise to the universal basic income system, failed. She had withdrawn a lot of relationships especially with tensions that have escalated in the Middle East when MEMO began to emerge as a proper alliance led by Egypt and made the United States more isolated than ever as a result. So she might be forgotten, unlike Trump who has escalated things a little bit in the late 2010s though.
 * Military
 * Military Budget Promise: President-elect Ryan promises to raise the budget again after Warren cuts down the military budget spending by 40% by the end of her presidency. He believed that in order to secure America's place in the international community, he would want to raise the budget once again, mainly dedicated to research of certain technologies such as handheld railguns. However robot law enforcement has started to come into reality in some way, slowly creeping into most trials and tests recently, Paul Ryan began considering whether military robots should be heavily regulated, so that only automated unmanned aerial vehicles and self-driving vehicles could be allowed but not robots in fear of raising unemployment once again by demilitarising human numbers once his first term starts.
 * Economy
 * Recovering, but don't get your hopes up. The United States is always in trouble in unemployment recently and while the stock market is growing, the inevitable will happen very soon.
 * Research and Technology
 * Lunar Colony Plan: There are unannounced plans to establish a base on the Moon. The reason why it was fully delayed because they have not a lot of funding in place under Warren's administration despite a successful touchdown on the Moon years ago. Private space industry was also expanding which was one of the reasons why government-sponsored agencies weren't able to churn out something similar to establishing a long-term base on the Moon.
 * Quantum Computer Technology: Quantum computers are becoming more of a normal thing in government and scientific research. Qunatum computers are proven to be much more faster than conventional computers in the early 2020s and powerful as well, where they could process millions of tasks every second. However making commercial progress was a far-fetched thing in the last decade. Recently the government had made emphasis to make this open to the public but many estimate that quantum computers for the public might not happen until the late 2030s at earliest or the 2050s in a worst case.
 * Automation of Workplace: In the 2020s, many jobs were being lost to robots that were more efficient than their human counterparts and with the stock crash in the early 2020s, the US had a dangerous unemployment rate of 20% to 25% at the mid-2020s. That improved production efficiency but led to many people turning to parties, notably the Republicans by the post-2024 elections who promise to slow down automation of industry and prevent industrial chaos. The universal basic income failed to pass under Elizabeth Warren's first term and so she was forced to negotiate with right-leaning politicians to expand all industries domestically that allows the human workforce to work. However analysts and futurists predict that a second explosion of automation will take place in the mid-2030s which would boost the unemployment rate back up to 30% in time even if the 10% unemployment treshold pledged by President-elect Ryan succeeded and that the theoretical Great Recession might also boost unemployment rate as another factor.
 * Diplomacy
 * Philippines: Big Brother is watching you.
 * Denmark: Big Brother is watching you.
 * Switzerland: Big Brother is watching you.
 * Japan: We would like to improve our own relations, for very obvious reasons. If you don't accept then we don't intimidate you. (Because Starring is that guy who would negotiate alliances with me, the guy who played as North American Union and other guys probably in the past, probably not who knows?)
 * Greece: Under the Warren administration, financial support is heavy given to Greece since Elizabeth Warren was President of the United States and that Turkish tensions have risen back at that time. But now it seems that the US are not holding much more support recently due to their shaky economic position especially with China, with the federal government trying to give a bare minimum to the state itself.
 * Canada: Canada Goose is owned by RODEBLUR.

Outline for now

The unofficial backstory (I'm using that by the way): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BE_AEzQI9rxjkeoWMh43vyUjWHTfUWvixVH669yYjQ4

Unemployment is being dealt with through domestic industry expansion to aim the 10% goal from 15% by 2037. But that might change with the Great Recession and further automation of more sectors will in turn do something catastrophic to America as they become further behind.

THIS TURN IS NOT FINAL
