The Socialist Empire of New York
 * Government: In 2016, the government of New York is controlled by John O'Connell, a man who, despite being 114 years old, has still managed to prolong his life using advanced medical technology developed during the 2030's, before the collapse of the United States. O'Connell, in the 2040's, after the fall of the United States, quickly gathered an army of 400 people are marched on Albany, and removed the state government from power. He became Emperor John I of the Socialist Empire of New York, and established his capital in Albany, building a new palace using funds from the former federal welfare system. After a few decades of small anarchy, O'Connell managed to move out of the Hudson Valley in 2070 and seized the rest of the state in mass combat over a 35 year period. Then, he began instituting his policies. First, he gave rights to every human being living in New York, whatever race, religion, or sexuality. Next, he allowed for ownership of small arms, mostly old pistols. O'Connell also began building up schools and industry in the state, and made it so New York could mostly rely on itself. He also made New York City a major port again, as New York was one of the first states in America to centralize itself, and trade in the continent usually goes to either New York City, Havana, or Port Au Prince. O'Connell also saw the need for a strong military and air force, and removed welfare, encouraging people to get to work or starve. By 2116, O'Connell is getting old, but still continues to be an able leader, and is looking outward from the shell of isolation towards dominance of North America.
 * Research: In 2116, research is very far behind globally, as Earth has been in near constant war since 2045. O'Connell had begun a space program in 2078, but had been so busy retaking the state and building up industry that he could not send much money to the NYSP (New York Space Program). By the current year, however, designs for rockets are beginning to be made as the space program bases itself in the former UN headquarters in New York City. Many military satellites are put into orbit this year, which will give New York an advantage over its neighbors in war. On the ground, electric cars are in use, as technology in the 2030s advanced to this point, and most of New York's power is clean and comes from solar panels, which got cheaper around 2020. Innovation in 2116 is hard to come by, as New Yorkers are still rebuilding and while the economy is strong, a large portion of the nation is in poverty after the wars.
 * Analytics: New York is continuing it's growth following the American Wars, a brutal conflict which wrecked most of the northern and western parts of the country.
 * Economy: The Global Domestic Product of New York in 2116 is $1,820,000,000,000 dollars. While not at the level it was in 2043 (New York's peak), which was $2,130,000,000,000, it is still large for a nation in this day in age. New York largely exports to other nations, as O'Connell's manufacturing reforms have made New York largely independent from other nations, but many imports still do come in, much to the joy of the people. New York exports food, electronics, alternate energy products, steel, military equipment, clothes, cars, wine, fish, and glass. The state imports wood, gold, aluminum, and fur. About 2.4% of New York workers are unemployed, and O'Connell is debating whether to make a law forcing them to join the military. The state has many clean energy factories, and produces everything New York will need, while trade is used to gain luxuries from Latin America, Europe, and Africa.
 * Infrastructure, Education, Public Services: In 2116, New York is now rebuilt from the American Wars, and is one of the most connected nations in the northeastern portion of North America, as O'Connell unified it a good 10 years before other states regained order. Roads are maintained and railroads are a thing of the past, as they are cut down and used to make cars and military equipment. Small aircraft are also in use in transport, as many stole in the American Wars and have handed them down generation to generation. Many small airports are built to refuel these small planes, most of which are over 100 years old, and thus New York has a lot of air traffic. In education, students are taught the basic studies of math, science, literature, physical education, and history. In history, however, state textbooks depict the ideas of democracy and a republic as a fail, as shown in the American Wars and the collapse of worldwide capitalism, and claims that socialism has brought New York into a oasis, separate from the warring states of the rest of the continent. Healthcare is included in taxes, and many also have housing, with an astounding 0.2% of the population homeless.
 * Demographics:
 * New Yorker Armed Forces (NYAF): In 2116, the NYAF is one the largest armies in North America and has modern technology developed by the United States in the 2030's. This year, 12,000 soldiers are recruited, a new destroyer is taken out of mothball from American days, and a few jets are also taken out of mothball at Republic Airport on Long Island to be used in combat. These planes are all modified and are made into different models for each type of equipment.
 * Military Research: Designs for land upgrades will be released next year, as will air, and naval upgrades will be available in two years. Drones are used instead of people in most aircraft however.
 * New Yorker Ground Forces (NYGF): The NYGF consists of:
 * 63,000 Active soldiers (all have 2032 model exosuits and XR-31 Assault Rifles)
 * 17,000 Reserve Soldiers (trained and have spare equipment for)
 * 102 T-32 Tanks
 * 1,837 Transport Trucks
 * 212 Railgun II Artillery Batteries
 * 18 Land to Air Rocket Systems
