The federal capital, Fort Zapata, is built on, and named after, Generalissimo Alejandría Xóchitl's home base during the Revolutionary Wars. North America is divided into 73 federal districts, known officially as autonomous soviet provinces (Usually just shortened to 'provinces'). Most provinces are themselves divided into multiple smaller federal subdivisions.

North America is founded on the ideals of council communism, and practices a system of soviet democracy. The people in a workplace come together to elect a representative to the local soviet, the representative votes based on an imperative mandate set by the workers they represent, and are recalled from their post once their mandate expires. This system is also applied to all elections throughout the nation, creating a system of de-facto direct democracy. The majority of power regarding policy is vested in smaller subdivisions, and the North American Congress of Soviets (The national assembly) primarily serves as a form of democratic oversight to various government bureaus, although the congress does still have a limited degree of lawmaking power. Workplaces are organized democratically, and all work is handled based on a system of "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need," where only the amount of goods needed to keep the population happy and healthy are produced. Because of this, most people only work for roughly 20 hours a week.

Following the end of the North American Revolutionary War, a name had to be chosen for the newly-formed state. As the revolutionaries had already been using the term 'North America' for official and diplomatic purposes, it was decided that the name should be kept. In a referendum on what official title should be used by North America, 'the Plurinational Socialist Federation of North America' won handily, and its acknowledging of the continent's many distinct peoples made it especially popular among indigenous peoples, Afro-North Americans, and Franco-Canadians.

On February 4th, 2023, rapidly increasing political tensions in the United States, fueled by anxieties over climate change and the rapidly declining standards of living brought by a major economic recession, reached their breaking point, leading to riots breaking out. The rioters, primarily militant leftists, drove much of the country's economy to a halt. The riots quickly began to spread to Canada. Eventually, in response to aggressive police crackdown and the government's refusal to capitulate to their demands, rioters in the western United States took up arms, and launched several consecutive attacks on police stations and military bases, setting off a second American Civil War. This militancy rapidly spread to Canada. On March 12th, A second armed uprising occurred in New England (Modern-day Dawnland). With the US Military scattered around the world enforcing American imperialism, and now considerably smaller than the rebelling forces, the job of resisting the rebels fell primarily onto the shoulders of police forces and counterrevolutionary militias.

Meanwhile, revolutionary forces were also slowing down in the US and Canada. Until this point, the revolutionary army had been largely disorganized and decentralized, with little in the department of central leadership. individual units would coordinate assaults through videocalls and text messages between leaders, leading to frequent miscommunications and oversights in planning. Early advances were only made possible by the fact that their enemies were unprepared for the sudden outbreak of civil war, and the equally disorganized nature of the militias which they had been primarily fighting. After the American and Canadian governments declared martial law, implemented widespread conscription, and began to more effectively communicate with loyalist militias, the Reds began to suffer far greater casualties and faced significant territorial loss. Recognizing the need for centralized leadership, an ambitious young woman named Alejandría Xóchitl proclaimed herself 'Commander in Chief of the North American Red Forces'.

At first, Xóchitl was a controversial figure among the red forces, many questioned whether it was acceptable for someone to simply give them self such an enormous promotion, and many simply ignored her orders. However, most units quickly realized that the need for some form of centralized leadership outweighed any concerns they may have. Within a week and a half of Xóchitl's deceleration of leadership, almost all of the army had come to accept her leadership. Xóchitl promoted several promising military leaders to higher positions, and established a formal military bureaucracy.

Under centralized leadership, the red forces proved far more capable, and were not only able to halt the white counterattack, but were also able to regain a considerable degree of lost ground. Eventually, the front line entered a stalemate, with neither side able to push effectively. Xóchitl sent an envoy to Cuba to request military assistance; and, after much negotiation, the request was granted. Cuban forces landed in Florida on February 5th, 2024, catching the American government off-guard. as the Americans scrambled to defend against the new threat to their south, Xóchitl prepared her most ambitious campaign yet. The plan was to trap as many White forces in the mountainous terrain of Northern Colorado as possible, dealing a crippling blow to the loyalists.

Meanwhile, the reds had also been making advances in Mexico. Leftist forces had been pushing further north, supported by another Cuban naval landing just south of the Sierra Madre, aiming to split the white forces in Mexico into two, easily crushed pockets. However, this landing ultimately proved to be a failure, and the Cuban force retreated back into the Caribbean only two weeks after it landed. Despite this setback, advances continued to be made along the southern Mexican front; and on July 24th, 2025, Mexico City fell to red forces.

The Mexican military began a full-scale retreat to the far more defensible Sierra Madre on August 4th, and prepared an enormous complex of forts, trenches, and traps throughout the mountain range. The defenses proved effective, and the Mexican front entered a stalemate which lasted for almost a year. Eventually, White forces were divided into two main, easily defended pockets. One in the Sierra Madre, and one in the American Southeast. These both proved difficult for Red forces to assault; and on January 9th, 2026, a ceasefire was called. Both factions were ready to negotiate peace. It was decided that negotiations should be held in a neutral country; and on January 21st, peace talks were opened in Marrakesh, Morocco. However, neither side was able to reach an agreement, and Red forces broke the ceasefire on February 13th.

Above: This flag, commonly known as 'the Red and Green Flag', or 'La bandera roja y verde' (Commonly shortened to either 'La bandera roja'), was widely used by revolutionary forces throughout most of the war, and remained the de facto national flag of the federation during the early portions of the Reconstruction era. It was eventually replaced by the current flag following a competition, but is still widely used as a patriotic symbol.

A constitution was drafted, establishing the powers of the provisional council, the powers of the civilian government, a rough outline of the plan for the return to political normalcy, and a bill of rights. The Congress of Soviets was established, which was to temporarily co-govern North America alongside the military council, with legislative power being in the hands of the civilian government. The Congress was elected by the populations of provinces which had been deemed loyal enough to be fully admitted to the federation. On December 2nd, 2027, Cuba voted to join the young state in a referendum, and they were formally integrated exactly 1 month later.

During the war, tens of millions of people had fled Mexico, Canada, and the US, triggering the worst refugee crisis in history. After peace was reestablished, over 8 million refugees returned to North America, with the provisional government promising immediate citizenship to any returning expats. After 6 years, the political and economic situation in the federation was mostly normalized. The continent's agricultural base had been rebuilt, and rationing had been made far less strict. Military occupation had been lifted in almost all of the young state's territories, and so the provisional military government handed over what remained of its power to the civilian government on June 5th, 2033.

Within two years of PCOLTIASN's establishment, several sizable settlements had been established, and the IASN made plans for the establishment of an independent socialist state on the lunar surface. A spot in the center of the IASN Lunar Territory was chosen for the capital of the new state, and construction began. On June 8th, 2038, the city was named Adébáyọ̀ia in a referendum, named after Ayọ̀ Adébáyọ̀, a Yorùbá scientist who had played a heavy role in designing the structure of most buildings used on the moon. On July 7th, the Socialist Federation of Luna was officially declared.

People from all over the world - even people who weren't from IASN member-states - flooded to the new independent Lunar state. Some were seeking opportunities in the new frontier, some hoped to get away from hardships at home, and some simply were in it for the adventure. This rapid migration saw the Lunar population increase 5-fold in only 15 years.

The early Martian colonists were ultimately successful in their mission, and the powers of Earth were quick to send more. By 2045, the first Martian cities had emerged. The IASN opted to repeat the strategy previously employed in the colonization of the Moon. The Martian colonies of the various IASN member-states were all placed under a single provisional government, which transitioned them to full independence. The former North American colony of Kréjdtürvil, the first Martian city, was chosen as the new state's capital.

Sports culture is prominent throughout the federation, with baseball being the most popular sport, while hockey, soccer, and basketball also remain extremely prominent. Numerous nationwide annual tournaments are held every year, with fans from all over the federation gathering around their TVs and computers to watch these competitions live. North America has become extremely dominant in international Baseball competitions, and the North American National Baseball Team has the highest win rate in the history of the sport.

Despite North America's attempts at maintaining peace and furthering humanitarian action, it has been locked in a 3-sided cold war between the IASN, NATO, and the Eurasian Peacekeeping Organization since roughly 2031. The four major powers constantly form and break temporary, fragile alliances as the geopolitical situation shifts, and rarely gain any significant ground over the other three. North America is the most important member of the IASN (Nigeria and France are usually considered to be the second and third, respectively.), and is often viewed as its de facto leader.

Fort Zapata is home to the most embassies of any city in the world, largely as a result of the North American government historically pursuing a policy of turning the federation into a diplomatic capital. Almost every sovereign state - as well as many unrecognized states - maintain embassies in the federal capital. North American provinces also maintain limited international relations, with many provinces maintaining embassies in other countries, in addition to hosting foreign embassies. However, provincial foreign policy can be overturned by NĘDFĘ when it is deemed necessary.

An important aspect of this system is that it strives to produce as much food locally as is possible, while goods that cannot be produced nearby are imported from throughout the entire IASN in order to meet local demands. The federation's emphasis on only producing what is needed, the abolition of unnecessary jobs (Advertising, for example), and expanded automation has led to drastically decreased working hours when compared to the continent's pre-revolution economies, with most people only working for about 20 hours a week.

Tourism is an important aspect of the North American economy, with the federation being rich in both natural and man-made beauty. Cities like México City, New York, Fort Zapata, La Habana, and many more bring in tens of millions of international tourists annually, while the country's massive National Park Service sees many more flocking to sites such as the Great Blue Hole, Yellowstone, and Teotihuacán. In 2078 alone, North America saw a staggering 58 million international visitors.

As North America strives to be as economically self-sufficient as possible, agriculture is naturally a crucial industry, and receives enormous attention from the government nation-wide. Corn is the most important crop grown in the federation, with it being a staple food in most North American cultures; it is the single most-used ingredient in North America, and the most widely grown crop.

A core component of the North American agricultural model is the 'great milpa' system. The system is modeled after the Mesoamerican milpa system, but modified to accommodate far more production. Multiple crops are planted in the same field, and crops are chosen to compliment each-other, in an attempt to turn the field into something as close to a sustainable ecosystem as possible. The system is still not different from a traditional milpa system in multiple ways, however: plots spend less time lying fallow, and inga alley cropping is also often used in order to increase the yield of plots. Unlike the traditional system it is based on, great milpas aren't 100% sustainable, but they are still far more sustainable than any other large-scale farming techniques currently in practice.
