The American Republic declared its independence from the United States of America in 2050, fighting against the United Christian States of America in the Second American Civil War. Following six years of bloody conflict that included the American Nuclear Exchange, the American Republic and the UCSA signed the Dallas Peace Accord, which dissolved the United States of America and granted soverignty to the Republic. The American Republic took to isolationism during the Central Power's invasion of the UCSA and Word War 3. In 2160, the government created the state of Jefferson from parts of southern Washington and northern Oregon.
