Usonia is bordered to the north by Canada and to the east and south by the Union of Everett. Established on the grounds that the United States was a failing state, and that the country's long list of foolish decisions resulted in its being divided by a self-proclaimed political genius, the former United States was overcome by and uproar of political protests that permitted an unknown figure by the name of Elijah Morgan to come into power and change the very fabric of the old American political spectrum. Waging a five-year political, ideological, and intellectual crackdown known as the Great Usonian Purge, Morgan has since solidified his political power in the nation.
