The Republic Seal
The Republic of America is a formidable nation that rose up from the former United States of America. Many cities of the Republic is divided into many districts; some wealthy and some poor. The capital of the Republic is located in Denver, Colorado. The Republic is viewed as a heavily militarized secretive aggressive state, much like modern day North Korea. The Republic is under constant Martial Law and has military patrol units instead of the usual police department. The Elector Primo is the supreme law of the land and acts as a dictator of the nation. The Republic has a total of 13 states, 11 of which share the same name as a current state in the United States (the states that are excluded include Dakota and West Texas).

History[]
Following the destruction of the United States, the land was divided up into two nations: The Republic of America and The Colonies of America. They divided because the East Coast faced massive flooding, and everyone was moving to the West Coast. Because of this, the first Elector Primo made The Republic of America an independent country. The Republic sealed its borders to stop unwanted immigration, which caused the Colonies to declare war on the Republic. The two nations had been at war ever since until a cease-fire was betrayed at the beginning of the third book, Champion. This cease-fire did not last for long as a plague broke out in the Colonies. The nation believed the Republic was at fault due to the biochemical weapons the Republic had planned to use in the war. The Colonies demanded a cure to the disease, or else they would attack the Republic. When the Republic did not come through on their half of the deal, the Colonies attacked Denver. The Republic then went to Antarctica for help. However, Antarctica would not help, since the Republic was majorly indebted to Antarctica. Eventually, Antarctica came to a resolution with the Republic. The Republic was to give up Dakota to Antarctica until they could pay off their debts. The Republic had to give proof of the cure. After Antarctica gave help to the Republic, the Colonies and the Republic made a treaty, and the Republic's border to the Colonies was reopened. Together with the two then produced multiple flourishing border cities.
Government[]
The governments of the Republic and the Colonies greatly differ. The Republic is a strict Martial Law Dictatorship, whereas the Colonies is a Corporate-Owned State. The trials are a great example of that.
The Elector-Primo is the ruling head of the Republic. A Senate exists, and in Champion several senators are present during the dinner party. The Elector-Primo selects a "Princeps", who acts alongside the Elector-Primo. It is often said that the Princeps and the Elector-Primo develop very close relationships due to how often they associate themselves with each other.
The governing Capital of the Republic of America is the city of Denver, located in the state of Colorado. The Republic Senate meets in Denver's Capitol Tower, where the Elector Primo also gives speeches to the public.
