Great Empire of America

The Great Empire of America is a country in North America, South America, Africa, technically kind of Europe, Asia, and Oceania. It is a vast colonial empire which has many colonies, such as American West Africa, American Somaliland, American India, American Philippines, and much more.

History
The Great Empire of America was created in 1818 after the Second American Revolution in which a civil war occurred between the Monarchists and Democraticists. The Monarchists won and the president and other high members of the government of the US fled to Canada. The Empire easily won a war with Mexico, but they take more land in the treaty than in real life. In this alternate America, they care less about all that freedom and stuff and they make slavery legal, like Brazil (but not as much as Brazil). But only the Southeast has a good enough climate for large cotton fields, which felt very limited, so they decided they would go get more. They went to war with Spain and take a lot of the Greater Antilles except for Jamaica, which was British at the time. They also take the Philippines, which would later be a foothold in Asia which would allow colonization of Asia easier. Anyways, they also took the Yucatán peninsula (including Belize/British Hondura, which they bought from the British) and Guatemala, which would make them go to war with Central America. After they vassalised a reincarnation of the United Provinces of Central America, they wanted MORE territory. But all this conquering to have more land to put slaves to work on and make the land owners rich was making a bad image of them in the world, and people start to not trade with them, instead going to India to get cotton. This was very bad for the Americans, so they changed the system to one that technically didn’t do slavery but pretty much still basically did, with workers getting the bare minimum needed to survive. But, gradually through the decades the slavery and super low wages started to disappear, but it will still be some time until it’s completely gone. Anyways, when Liberia was founded the Americans offered to make Liberia a colony of theirs in exchange for money. The Liberians agreed. Then the Americans started expanding their colony in Africa, conquering undeveloped African nations on the way. Eventually what is called American West Africa stretched from Western Sahara to Liberia to Togo. But that wasn’t the Americans’ only colony in Africa. They also had American Cameroon, American Namibialand, American Madagascar, and American Somalia. They also had American East Arabia, but they didn’t think much of it until the popularization of oil as fuel and the discovery of oil there, and the Americans got super rich after that. Back on track, the Americans also got American West India, American Malaya, American West Borneo, American Philippines, American Formosa, American New Guinea, American Northern Australia, and other Pacific islands. This period was called the Period of Colonization, when the Americans reached their territorial height.

Friends
Britain - kind of a rival empire, but we’re good, after slavery was abolished. Thanks for being one of the first to trade with us after that.

Prussia - There are a lot of German immigrants in my country, so I can’t help but have good relations with you. He even sold me an African colony (Prussian Kamerun) to me for a reasonable amount of money.

Spain - There are also a LOT of Spanish speaking people in my country, like in South America and Central America, and he feels kinda jealous of me that I managed to conquer all of his former colonies while he couldn’t keep control over them. But we’re good.

Enemies
France - When the American faction which would eventually become me (the American Monarchist Faction) was first established I was afraid that revolutionary ideas from the French Revolution might spread to my future country (which was still kind of being planned) and try to overthrow me, and now I hate you even more after that whole Napoleon thing.
