The United Kingdoms of America - A Game of Thrones

After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutional Convention concluded that the only way to keep the 13 colonies together, as a single strong and independent nation, was to form a monarchy.  The new Constitution would create a Parliament where the colonies would be represented --but ultimately power would fall into the hands of the Monarch.

The delegates called for George Washington to be the first King of the United Kingdoms of America --but he declined calling the monarchy system a "failure."

After a brief power struggle, the Constitutional Convention would rally around John Adams of Massachusetts as their first King.

The First 100 Years

King John [Adams] I would convene the first Parliament. The first Parliament would elect Adam's adversary Thomas Jefferson as their Prime Minister. Jefferson and the King would perpetually be at each others throats --Adams would build up the army and navy and resolving the "Quasi War" with France in face of Prime Minister Jefferson's opposition to Adam's actions.

Adams would die on July 4, 1826 and the throne would pass onto his son John Quincy Adams, better known as King John II.

King John II would continue, as his father did, to allow slavery in kingdoms that chose to allow it but his revulsion against slavery grew as his reign went on. Southern kingdoms would ignore decrees and edicts issued by John II limiting slavery while the Parliament ignored slavery as an issue altogether.

King John II's biggest success would be gaining ally Henry Clay as Prime Minister even though Clay proved ineffective at moving the slavery issue.

"I always talk better lying down."

edited to add oops, for some reason I thought those were Jefferson's last words. They're Madison's.


Jefferson's: "'Is it the Fourth?' [Asked of his doctor, Robley Dunglison, who replied, "It soon will be."] 'I resign my spirit to God, my daughter to my country.'"

The First 100 Years continued

After Clay's departure from the legislature, King John II would lose his key ally --and his reign would never be the same. Prime Minister Andrew Jackson, a war hero from the brief war with Spain in 1812, would work to weaken the power of the monarchy.

Charles Francis Adams would succeed John II on the White Throne naming himself King Charles I. King Charles had watched his father's failures with slavery and would almost immediately dissolve Parliament and decree that slavery be "honored" even in kingdoms where it was outlawed.

Once Parliament resumed, King Charles I would essentially a saint amongst southern kingdoms.

The First 100 Years continued

King Charles I would rule over a strong period in the Industrial Revolution. King Charles I had a keen eye for the failures of the previous two monarchs. Unlike King John I, King Charles I positioned himself to stay out of European affairs and, Charles I thought he handled the slavery issue adeptly.

The Northern and many Western Kingdoms would begin to resent the White Throne for forcing them to respect "backwards" laws on slavery in their own lands. To remedy this King Charles I would appoint wardens, one of the North, the South, and the West. These wardens would be the King's eyes, ears and hammer.

After 38 years of rule including a brief war with Mexico, the White Throne would pass to John Quincy Adams II, who would be known as King John III.

The First 100 Years continued

After 38 years of rule including a brief war with Mexico, the White Throne would pass to John Quincy Adams II, who would be known as King John III.

King John III grew up weak and sickly, and when he took the throne many did not expect him to last as long as 38 years --like his father did. King John III did enforce the same policies of his father King Charles I --but through his father's wardens.

King Charles I's wardens of the West and North were tough during Charles' reign but were ruthless during King John III's reign --knowing him to be a weak King. The wardens exercised their own will over the Kingdoms believing it to be an extension of the previous king's policies.

Parliament cried fowl, but their cries went unheard. King John III had little respect for Parliament and was, frankly, too sickly to care.

During King John III's reign, the economy would sink due to lack of action by the king. On August 14, 1894 King John III would die and the crown would pass on.

After the death of King John III, John Quincy Adams II, three people claimed the throne.

The First: The first person to claim the throne was Charles Francis Adams Jr. Charles Francis Adams Jr was the son of King Charles I, and next-eldest brother to King John III. Adams Jr was not the rightful heir to the throne --he knew it, but he did not wanted the throne for himself and felt the other candidates were weak. It was Charles Francis Adams Jr who secured the United Kingdoms of America's capital - Boston - immediately after the King's death. Charles Francis Adams Jr's bannermen would primarily come from Massachusetts. Charles Francis Adams Jr would effectively dissolve Parliament.

The Second: Charles Francis Adams III was not the rightful heir to the throne --the second eldest son of King John III. Charles Francis Adams III resided in New Hampshire, and upon his father's death, declared the throne his, and immediately began to march his forces south onto Boston. Charles Francis Adams III's bannermen would primarily come from New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.

The Third: George Caspar Adams was the rightful heir to the throne, and like his father he was weak. George Caspar Adams would reluctantly challenge his brother and Uncle for the throne when pushed to by his advisers.  George Caspar Adams' reluctance to call upon the United Kingdoms to support his war and come to his aide would melt the glue that held the United Kingdoms together.

The Rest

As the War of Three Kings broke out, members of Parliament returned home more frustrated and angry than ever. Many felt, correctly, that the Monarchy did not care about the needs of The People or of Parliament.

The Wardens of the North, South and West immediately began to squabble about which King to support. The Warden of the North supported King John III's uncle, a strong commander like himself. The Warden of the West would support King John III's second eldest son, and the Warden of the South would support the reightful heir, George Caspar Adams.

The Kingdoms, would take the opportunity to support their own --and create a new lineage for the White Throne. The first few weeks of the War of Three Kings were quiet outside of New England. Many wanted to see if the war would be won quickly. It was not --and George Caspar Adams' reluctance to call the nation to war gave an opening for those who had been kept down by tyranny, to rise up.

Many, many, would declare themselves King.  After some time, Kingdoms began to rally around certain factions and families (See Map).

By December 1894, the American Civil War was in full gear.

The Civil War Continued

By Spring 1895, the Charles Frances Adams Jr, the Uncle of King John III, had taken George Caspar Adams' life and territory, however; Adams Jr did not control all of the United Kingdoms of America or even New England, heck, Charles Francis Adams Jr was not even the rightful heir still, as it technically passed to Charles Francis Adams III.

Charles Francis Adams III tried to call the rest of the United Kingdoms to his side when he claimed the throne (rightfully) but, the time had passed for when the Union could be saved so easily.

In the west, William Jennings Bryan was holding off McKinley and had effectively gotten George Stoneman Jr of California to bend the knee to him.

In the south, John Henniger Reagan of Texas and Alexander Davis were approaching a new battle line as they routed Jefferson Davis' forces from his loyal lands.

In the north, Wilson Cary Nicholas Randolph was not meant for war and quickly bent the knee to Roosevelt --but some lands were quickly went to Alexander Stephens instead.


By summer 1895, William Jennings Bryan had taken or received the loyalty of most of the United Kingdoms of America. In New England, the "two Kings" still fought --and in the south, Alexander Stephens routed John Henniger Reagan from Texas.  Bryan and Stephens turned to each other, for the final stage of the war.

Stephens initially, it seemed, had the upperhand quickly taking territory along the eastern coach on his march to Boston. Stephens thought that he who held the White Throne in Boston, held the power. Stephens was wrong.

After a month long seige on Boston and the sorrounding area, Stephens' forces finally took it at great cost. Stephens declared himself King as his home in the south fell to William Jennings Bryan.

On June 7, 1896 William Jennings Bryan sat on the White Throne and declared himself King of the United Kingdoms of America, and titled himself King William I, the first of the line of Bryan.

The First World War


King William I's first act was to call Parliament into session and be one of the first King's to actively work with Parliament. King William I would have a pact with Parliament, respecting their authority and powers --to an extent. King William promised to get (non-binding) Parliamentary approval before going to war, and gave Parliament greater leverage with budgets and executive agencies --as long as they didn't interfere with the King's personal budget.

All of this, was called the Voice Compact because absolutely none of it was written down formally. The only act that King William I asked for, or demanded, in return was that the upper-house of Parliament be elected by the people and not appointed. Parliament would pass this measure --but only if the entire Parliament, and not just the lower House, could vote for the Prime Minister.

That fine print would screw King William I. When the election was held, his supporters would lose the majority.

Eugene Debbs, a supporter of Karl Marx, would take the reigns of Prime Minister and Debbs had planned to fight the King on not doing enough for the people, and fought for more control of all aspects of life.

As World War One broke out in Europe, Debs and much of Parliament called for the United States to stay out of the war. King William I agreed. The United States stayed out of World War I which ended in 1918. The pacifist position of the United States influenced the rest of the America's to stay out of the war, minus Canada.

Why was parliament dissolved for such a long time in 1848 and 1862?

Why was parliament dissolved for such a long time in 1848 and 1862?

I wouldn't call it "such a long time" and I'm pretty sure I addressed it in the timeline. Nonetheless,   the King can call for a new election whenever he wants...and then there has to be a primary, general...

The First World War Continued


The lack of US involvement in World War One would keep the rest of the Americas from jumping in, excluding Canada. In the end, the Germans would come within 10 miles of Paris, but no further because the French would sue for peace on behalf of the Allies.

The Treaty of Berlin was signed in 1916. Belgium and the Netherlands would be incorporated into Germany, as would Alsace Lorraine in France. Serbia and northern Greece would be carved up by Bulgaria and the Austro Hungarian Empire. The Germans would make minors gains along the Russian-German border. The Ottoman Empire would make minors gains along its southern borders.

Germany would reap the most benefits, taking Belgium and Netherland's colonies overseas.

After the war ended, Americans would be mixed about their choice to stay out of the war. In the end, Americans would --by a slim margin--see the results of the war as enough of a negative to oust Debbs as Prime Minister.

In the 1920's the United Kingdoms of America would enter a deep depression, possibly the worst in American history. Growing tension and inaction in Parliament, along with a declining King, would only damper morale. In July 1925, the crown would pass to America's first female monarch, Queen Ruth I, the daughter of King William I.

Her first act would be to dissolve Parliament and to immediately call for new elections. Queen Ruth called on Americans to only support those who believed that women should have the right to vote --and mandated that all women be allowed to vote, own property, and demand equal pay. She would also mandate prohibition in the United Kingdoms.

These radical moves would not be without consequence.

The Great Turmoil


In the immediate days after Queen Ruth's coronation, it seemed like civil war was once again inevitable. The nation was in despair over the depression, and a female monarch was unheard of. Ruth took to the airwaves, on the radio, and spoke of her vision for America. She soothed people while simultaneously swiftly taking steps to remove any potential adversaries.

Fortunately, or not, a second civil war was avoided in those coming months. Women were allowed to vote, the demands for equal pay were often unmet and unenforced, and organized crime took a foothold in America due to Queen Ruth's ban on alcohol.

Queen Ruth had a great relationship with Prime Minister Joseph P. Kennedy, however; he lost the Prime Minister's seat in 1928 and would not reclaim it until 1932.

In Europe, France was doing poorly having lost World War One. French anger brewed towards the Germans who they felt had taken their land. The Dutch and Flemish would be divided on if their lives were better or not under German rule --but nonetheless many felt nationalism for their own country.

In Germany the, Weimar Republic would become more Democratic while in France, authoritarian figures rose to power demonizing the German people and state.
