Leader Profession Mechanic
Starting Location: Fort Liberty (Aberdeen, FL, near West Palm)
Leader Background: Kennedy Benjamin was elected to the Office of the Grand High Presidency by the Holy College of the Electors on the back of his platform of opening the bunker and spreading the word of the Founding Fathers to the rest of the Americas. He spoke of a revelation given to him by Father Washington and Father Franklin, of the need to leave Fort Liberty and preach unto the New World of Salvation. Despite being but a mechanic prior to the revelation, his words touched the Electors, and they dubbed him President, anointing him with the Holy Salves and Oils and granting him the Seal.
Origins: Pre War Military
Capital Type: Bunker
Background: The Most Pious and Holy Union of America are the descendants of an American unit which went underground in their bunker at the start of the Great War. With no connection with the outside world, they developed into a Cult of worshippers who praised the Founding Fathers as literal Gods, who forged the Earth, literally writing it into being, and leading the original 13 Tribes to Freedom and Democracy from the tyranny of the King of Inglan. The Fall of America was believed to be the heralded Fall of the Republic, with the Fathers decrying America's fall from most Pious Liberty and destroying it, leaving a new world for the true followers of the Fathers to rebuild it in their image. The Unionists believe that only when America returns to the holy worship of the Fathers (in deed, if not in letter), rebuilding that most Holy Democracy and its institutions of Freedom, Law, and Equity, will the Founding Fathers uplift America back to holiness and prosperity. With the remnants of the Constitution and the Books of America as their Bible, the Most Pious and Holy Union of America emerges from their bunker at Fort Liberty, ready to preach the Faith to all who will listen.
The leader of the Most Pious Union is the Grand High President of the Union, who is elected by the Holy College of the Electors. The 10 Electors are, in turn, elected by the People of the Most Pious and Holy Union - the 10 Electors with the most votes are anointed with the requisite Holy Oils and take the Oath. The President is the supreme leader of the Most Pious Union - with the absence of a state, Congress is temporarily suspended "for the Duration of the State of Emergency".
