The Western States is a Socialist proto-state which was created by the Black Communist Rebellion, American Resistance during the uprising against the Japanese Empire that took place in 1964.

Overview[]

History[]

After the rebellion that overthrew the dominion of the Empire of Japan over the Western States, the Japanese announced the evacuation of their population. In turn, the White American civilians formed vigilante mobs that sought to kill the remaining Japanese and collaborator population in retaliation for years of terror. Threatened by Reichsfuhrer John Smith's Operation Fire Cross the Western States are forced to bunker down and defend from the incoming invasion. It is unknown what happens to the Western States after John Smith's death it's possible that Bill Whitcroft became president and the western states rejoined the restored United States if that happened it happened through an American invasion because the BCR strongly hates the old US government.

The territory of the Western States is identical to that of its predecessor.

Economics and Technology[]

Because so much critical infrastructure was destroyed during the uprising, the Western United States is a rather poor and underdeveloped state. The economy of the Western States is also weak, as can be seen from the constant instability.

The BCR have possibly caused and inspired uprisings in Asia, Africa and in other colonial areas.
