===The Constitutionalists===
One of the newest players on the world stage, but in a way also one of the oldest. The Constitutionalists are all that's left of free America, formed by exiled dissidents from both Nazi and Soviet-occupied areas as well as the survivors that eke out an existence in the ruined No-Man's land between them. They worship the Founding Lords, Presidents of time gone past, who serves as an ideal of what America should be. But they are not just an ideal.

The Constitutionalists have mastered the art of necromancy, and with it, they hope to gain the advantage over the hated invaders, Soviet and Nazi alike. Preaching "Equality in Death", they have an ever-growing army of the dead building in the empty spaces of America. Society is fairly strictly divided, with Slaves at the bottom, these are the reanimated corpses of Nazi and Soviet soldiers, those who did not choose Undeath but had the Gift forced upon them. Above them are the still-living members, often used as spies and infiltrators, and rewarded with citizenship if they serve well. Most sentient Constitutionalists have become Citizens, intelligent Undead with full rights who lead the masses of Slaves. At the top of Constitutional Society are the Founding Lords.

The Founding Lords are (or were) the dead presidents of times gone past. Some are still sleeping beneath the Earth, and their resurrection is a priority. Others now stalk the Earth, their minds warped from decades, even centuries, of death. The Lords are massively powerful, gigantic eldritch corpse-gods, the very sight of which is enough to drive any rational man mad.

Another major aspect of the Constitutionalist survival in 2020 is VATO - Voodoo-Atlantic Treaty Organization. 

The Voodoo-Atlantic Treaty Organization was created in 1962, after the Cuban Voodoo Crisis. The undead Fidel Castro, wary of Nazi encroachment into the Caribbean, worked with American necromancers and prepared "Operation Locust" - an undead plague that was poised to sweep over the Eastern United States. The weapon was provided by the USA. The knowledge that the shipment had been made lead to an international incident, in which the Nazis eventually backed down (behind the scenes, they determined that they could finish the confrontation after developing a cure to Operation Locust and there was no benefit in playing their hand instantly). As per the agreement, Nazi military forces removed their Mobile Magic Summoners from Hispaniola and parts of Africa.

In the wake of this incident, the USA and Cuba found themselves with similar goals. They signed the VATO agreement - they would share information, both intelligence wise and of newly developed voodoo rituals. As well, they would try to protect each other's interests in the Caribbean. Not long after, the newly independent Republic of Hispaniola was admitted to the VATO pact and, not long after that, the rising UAR (United African Republic). Together, these four nations were able to muster a response to overwhelming Nazi and Soviet Global Power."

VATO still exists as of 2020 and proved to be a larger problem than the Nazis and Soviets anticipated. Both the USA and UAR developed their necromantic rituals at a much faster rate than expected, and the UAR had a swiftly burgeoning economy. The Nazi cure for Operation Locust was never developed, as newer weaponry and tactics soon replaced it.

One of the most monumental moments of the VATO Alliance was the exchange in which the UAR gave the USA a plethora of badly needed ancient voodoo secrets, and in return, as a gesture of goodwill, the USA shipped over the Founding Lord Monroe. Monroe's "Monroe Doctrine", which was originally a statement of stopping colonialism in the Americas, found a remarkable reinvention in Africa and Monroe is worshiped there with great reverence, his defensive Magical abilities being of great asset to the UAR. VATO is also instrumental in ensuring that none of the other factions reaches a total dominance of the Mid-Atlantic oceanic routes.


The final part of the Constitutionalists, and likely their best kept secret, is the location of their final living population.   These people are not necromancers, nor undead in anyway, these are the few that still hold loyalty to America and still have their lives.    It is unknown to all but a few exactly how many people still survive, or if the rumours of a still "pure" American population are merely used to keep the remaining necromancers from falling into despair.

What is known, is that if they do exist then these populations are likely so well guarded it would be easier to kill every single founding father than ever get near to these populations, as these may very well be the only remaining Americans of whom will rebuild America if the Constitutionalists win.

But for now, only the fathers may know if this is all false, or if it is true.

====Notable Constitutionalist Cities====
'''Vegas''' - The West Coast is almost all Soviet controlled but the City of Sin is now the City of Death. The undead forces of the Constitutionalists defend the Hoover Dam and Vegas Proper, requiring no supplies other than ammo and fresh bodies. The Soviet attackers are no where near as lucky; heat exhaustion is almost as lethal as the Tesla weaponry employed by Constitutionalist shock troopers, and dehydration is a near endless problem. Yet the Soviets fight on, for taking Vegas is a blow against the heart of Capitalism itself.

'''New Orleans''' - The city of New Orleans is the largest that the Constitutionalists have.  It is home to various schools of necromancy as well as several vital parts of infrastructure to the ongoing war effort.

It is currently a high priority target for the Nazi Forces due to its value, but it is defended ferociously by hordes of undead and the ancient Necromancer teachers who reside within the city, leaving the land between the city and its Nazi enemies a barren wasteland of death and demons.

'''Denver''' - The current capital of the Constitutionalists, and one of the most important cities within the constitutionalists current holdings, as it contains almost the brain of the Constitutionalists war effort, as while Vegas acts as its heart, and New Orleans acts as its muscles, Denver acts as the brain that controls the other parts of the body.

====Active Founding Fathers====
'''Washington''' - The Founder 

'''Jefferson''' - The Apostle 

'''J. Adams''' - Judgement

'''J.Q. Adams''' - Prophet

'''Monroe''' - The Watcher (Currently in the UAR.)

'''Jackson''' -  "Dread Hickory" (Jackson was a failed summoning, turning into a man-treant hybrid and going on a path of bloodshed still referred to as the "Trail of Tears")

'''T.Roosevelt''' - The King of Beasts 

'''Lincoln''' - The Ancient One

'''Grant''' - The War Grinder

'''F.D.Roosevelt''' - The New Death (The Final Founding Father)

'''Cleveland''' - The Dark Horse

'''Taft''' - Scimitar 

'''Coolidge''' - Silent Death 

'''Wilson''' - Spear of Justice
