Our story starts in 1966, when Cronos Galanis was elected to the Senate in an upset victory against the incumbent, Clifford Case, by the state of New Jersey. Ten years later, he was elected to the Vice Presidency alongside President Jimmy Carter. In some less-than-savory ways, he managed to manipulate President Carter into letting him run in the 1980 race, after crisis after crisis rack the Carter Administration. Chief of which was the Iranian Hostage Crisis, which was when a revolution in Iran led to the imprisoning of American diplomats within the American embassy in the capital of Tehran. An operation led by Carter and Galanis was able to bring the hostages back home, letting Galanis win against Ronald Reagan by a narrow margin. During Galanis' term, the national situation worsened. By 1984, President Galanis made the difficult decision to conduct a self-coup, turning the United States of America into the Kingdom of Columbia (not to be confused with the Republic of Colombia). To distract the people of Columbia from their misery, King Galanis went on a military campaign of never-before seen sizes . The complete conquest of the entire New World. When he completed this, he formed the Empire of the Americas, crowning himself Emperor, both happening in 1998. Also in 1998, to preserve himself, he put himself into a computer, becoming an android. From 1998 to 2035, America grew in power and influence. gaining incredible influence over most of Africa, practically owning the African governments, also, after the 9/11 attacks in 2021 (the Twin Towers never fell), America invaded and annexed the entire Middle East, turning it into the Viceroyalty of the Middle East, and converting half of it to Christianity. Also during this time period, the Empire allied India, wanting to preserve democracy in Asia. When the People's Republic of China invaded India in 2035, World War Three began. It was the Empire, India, and the United European Union versus the Second Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, and Communist Japan. America's holdings in the Middle East were also invaded, pushed all the way to Baghdad, now called McKinley. As well as a failed landing in San Francisco. But America and her allies pushed back, capitulating China by 2038. But Japan reinforced its islands, keeping itself independent. But in 2040, the USSR launched its nuclear bombs, as did the Empire, Europe, and India. But with the Emperor's foresight, he and his allies built ubiquitous SAM sites, keeping the nations free from most of the damage of the nuclear holocaust, called the Cataclysm. But over two billion people died, Japan was bombed off of the map, and Russia descended into anarchy. To combat this incredible depopulation, the American government created the Purificati. The Purificati is a species invented by the American government after the effects of a nuclear holocaust, named the Cataclysm, took many lives at the end of the Third World War. The Purificati were specifically made to be genetically pure, and incredibly fertile, in order to recuperate the losses suffered in the Third World War and the Cataclysm. But breeding is not the exclusive purpose of the Purificati. They are just as independent as any human. But the Purificati do have a special affection for motherhood. The Purificati bear a striking resemblance to SCP-1471, skull-face and all. All, or at least most, Purificati have flower, or flowery, names. Since brains are too complicated to synthesize, all government-made Purificati have computer brains, but their children will have biological brains. All Purificati, government-made or otherwise, are exceptionally smart. Now it is 2048, and even Emperor Galanis has a Purificati wife, the Empress Daisy Bell.
