This American system of ours,
call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you will,
gives each and every one of us a great opportunity
if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it.

America is a husk of its former self. For 16 years the United States was ruled by a brutal, communist dictatorship. Democracy, freedom of speech, and the American way of life are suppressed by the totalitarian state. In 1944, Eisenhower overthrows the communist Earl Browder in an attempt to restore some semblance of peace among the nation’s citizens. For a few years they attempt to press on, but America was pushed too far. The brutal communist rule and then immediate return back to capitalism shook the people to their very core. Fed up with the government at hand, the United States fractured and divided. First weakened by the war to end communist rule, and now destroyed by its own facilities. The once united states of America now name themselves as a part of 4 different countries. The socialist, democratic USSA in New England, the spiritual successor to America, the Kaskaskia Confederation, an autocratic nation based in the rolling plains of the Midwest, the Dixie States, a virulently racist dictatorship in the South, and the Lemnitzer Regime, a brutal totalitarian state comprising what used to be the capital lands of America. These states now define themselves as separate, but as cooperative, under the United States Pact. Will you break this pact and try to restore America to its former glory? Or will you perpetuate the idea that America will no longer be what it was?
This PBEM uses the mod by CaterpillarKing et al. which is based off of the amazing hit Civ 4 story America: Write Your Own History by Royal Tenenbaum. I made very few changes to the starting situation to adopt this mod for balanced PBEM.
The concept of this PBEM is simple: make Americas GREAT again!
Yes, there are 4 human players and four Americas now, each starting with 2 cities, while Greater Japan owns North Western USA and big bad Mexico owns South West, including California, like many years ago.Victory Conditions:
This mod runs for 500 turns, from 1956 to 1997, where turns represent months. There will be new Victory condition and new House Rules for every new 100 turns. For this Freshman season there is only one way to win: your America must score higher than other 3 Americas at the beginning of the turn 100!
Freshman House Rules (first 100 turns)

Freshman House Rules (first 100 turns)
1. Under no circumstances human players are allowed to change their inaugural civics and Americanism religion: the most important rule. This means ban on any spy missions involving changing civic of the human opponent (AI is a fair game). This means all the affected humans have to defy any
2. No war is allowed against any civ with Americanism religion. If defensive pact or anything else unintentionally finds you at war with Americanism worshipers -- peace has to be offered immediately.
3. No secret (email, PM, in-game) human to human messaging. All the verbal communications must be done by posting in this thread.
4. Everything else within in-game rules is allowed unless 4 humans vote with a simple majority to amend these house rules in a future.
Players in the playing order:
1. CaterpillarKing: USSA
2. DKVM: Kaskaskia Confederation
3. Tigranes: Dixie States
4. Manuss: Lemnitzer Regime
