History
The United States was founded on July 28, 2009 by the city of Ecclesia. Weeks later, Ecclesia appointed Major General Ryan Sabin of MARSOC as President of the United States.
During the time a new President was made, the United States was at war with Boriquen, a slightly more powerful nation. However, the United States still managed to defeat them and Boriquen has since disbanded.
In September 2009, the United States undertook major changes, a new start for the nation. MARSOC stepped down and appointed TerrorBlade of DadVail as President, and took the position of Secretary of Defense.
