The Free American Empire is a one-party unitary state encompassing much of north and central America. Established during the Second World War, the incumbent President William Dudley Pelley of the country once known as the United States declined to intervene in the conflict and instead reorganized into the Free Empire, a radical consumerist and xenophobic regime bent on unifying the Americas to defend against Axis and Allied threats.

After a brutal two-decade campaign to conquer the Americas, the original fifty states remained intact and permitted to relatively self-govern while annexed countries such as Canada and Mexico lost all semblance of autonomy. Today, the Empire is mostly isolationist, sustaining itself through fiercely protectionist trade policies and free-market industry guided by focuses administered by the ruling party of the Silver Legion.

It is currently the leading nation of the Pax Americana faction, a military alliance comprised of the Empire and its holdings in the western hemisphere. It is regularly at odds with the Soviet powers, particularly in the middle east and pacific islands; considerable nuclear armament of both factions makes full-scale land invasions impractical, though territorial disputes in less-developed regions of the world are common.
