i was thinking about posting your stuff here as well.
guess its better coming from you.
Bas has been working on this off and on for a while, and he's currently in the middile of revising it in light of the newer books released.
awhile back i created a nation for this, intended to offset the loss of the ASC as a Xenophobic force. but Bas is still debating on if he can use it.
RDF communication center forums, NACS Thread
The North American Coalition of States. (N. A. C. S.)
The NACS formed when millions of survivors of Dolza’s bombardment fled to the few remaining cities as refugee’s. with out a national, or even regional government, the United States Military stepped into power to handle the crush of people seeking safety. To maintain order, Martial law was declared, with the military as the sole holder of the reins of power. Unlike the RDF survivors on the SDF-1, the US military still saw the Zentraedi as an Enemy, and encouraged the populous under their control to maintain that view, as a step towards reconstruction. By uniting the civilians against a common enemy, they were able to establish their power as governors of what remained of the United States. When the first Dimensional creatures and beings became known, the NACS used their existence as a further tool to unite the people. Unlike the Zentraedi, these beings where not human, and as such were far easier to hate. Magic, mutants, and other strange abilities where touted as the creation of D-Bee’s and demons, not to be trusted, and to be reported to the military immediately. Civilians who reported subversive activity, such as magic, crime, and conspiracy, are given preferential treatment.
In an odd contradiction of this policy is the view on Psychic abilities. The NCAS has an active search for all Psi gifted individuals. When found, these individuals are given 2 options.
1.) military service. The Psi is registered and sent through basic, then transferred to special training for offensive Psi training, focusing on counter Magic and special forces. Double standard term of duty required. Due to the danger of mind control, or other brain affecting abilities, Psi’s are not allowed to participate in Politics, and while they can still Vote, their polling area’s are separate from non-Psi’s, to avoid a telepath from skewing the vote.
2.) Registration. Should they choose not to enlist, the Psi is registered, and assigned a work permit. (non-military Psi’s are looked down on by the majority of the NACS’s population. As they choose not to serve their contry, many cannot find work, as few NACS citizens will employ a “Coward”)
Government wise, the NACS is a militarian democracy (similar to that in Heinlen’s Starship Troopers). Only those that have served in the armed forces are allowed to vote, and all governmental candidates must be active military officers. A term of office is 4 years, with no limit on the number of terms that can be served.

The newest member. Little military presence, no major minerals, or industry. but the NCAS liked there attitude towards Zents and D-Bee’s, and their agricultural resources were much needed.
NCAS military:
Standard term of service: 5 years.
All branches attend common boot camps, after which the recruits are sent to specific training for their particular branch. This is to improve the unity between the branches.
(Note: use of the Deaths head motif is up to the GM. Even if you choose to use it, I would not recommend it until after the “Zentreadi uprisings” period)
