Federmurcism

Federmurcism is a liberal, multiculturalist, social/racial hierarchical/supremacist, free market, two-party system, colonialist, and imperialist ideology that competes globally in a fictional alternate history world.

History
Federmurcism culminated as an ideology through the history of the UFSM, a nation in this alternate world that goes by the common name of 'Murica and changed its name many times. It arose from a common conflict between natives and colonizers as in this alternate timeline natives traded with lands as well as developed rudimentary vaccines to obtain immunity to diseases that the colonizers brought.

Several civil wars were fought in 'Murica, with rise and fall of several different groups. The beginnings of the ideology came with the first colonizers in North America, the West Africans, of which there were 7 independent functioning colonial empires with colonies all over the world. They vehemently fostered multiculturalism, supporting diversity of cultures, but also sponsored slavery along with colonialism, mainly of Native Americans, Slavic Europeans, Arabs, White Europeans, and sometimes other Africans in desperation. Due to their free immigration policies and also encouraged it. This caused 'Murica and the colonies to become extremely mixed, showing far more ethnic diversity than any colonies previously established by the West Africans.

However, this proved to be their downfall, as the first civil war fought on the North American continent occurred as a revolt/uprising against West African colonizers. Taking advantage of the situation, European colonial powers invaded and consolidated their own colonies in place of the West Africans. They ramped up enslavement of People of Color and mostly aligned with Whites.

The expanding colonies conquered Native territories and were quite harsh to Native Americans, however, colonists living farther North were much more friendly and accepting, as a result, over time many Native groups regrouped and retreated to the North collecting themselves, this would much later lead to the formation of Canada, but for now many Native Groups were under threat of being taken into colonial territory or had already been.

The Europeans were beginning to understand that logistically several nations trying to run independent colonies in the same 'Murican land wasn't working out. And the colonists of the land growing increasingly discontent as they did in our timeline and The American Revolution was initiated. However, this time the fight would be against several European powers with no help from France. But since a large population were against the colonizers and the oppressed People of Color would also aid the Patriots, the European powers decided to establish a joint colonial government reuniting 'Murica and finally giving them a nation of their own.

The UCSM then had its own independent constitution and legislature however European powers still profited heavily off of the lands and exercised a great degree of control making the nation far from democratic. However West Africans in the Union were absolutely outraged since this solution still had representation of only European-descendant people. And the West African colonies sent forces aid to liberate the people causing another civil war.

During this time a nation like the Confederacy in our timeline managed to separate, an only Black-controlled 'Murica which harshly ramped up slavery of White Americans. Seeing this, the Union did the same for Blacks causing a strain between the two races. Eventually the rebellious state was defeated however. But, the colonists saw this as a failure by the unified colonial government, and the Patriots rose again, this time consolidating full control of their nation and the United Colonial States of 'Murica being replaced.

The nation entered a period of betterment and progression after this, trying to Manifest Destiny as they expanded westward, but it was difficult without colonial support. Not long after however, another Civil War was begun as colonials from several European empires fought to restore their control and previous power structures. The war was ultimately won. Europeans and West Africans alike often still held slaves of the other race while being in the same nation now. However, their freed and non-slave-owner counterparts still mixed and mingled. Race mixing was normalized and seen as natural. And thus slowly over time as slavery lost profitability some plantations were shut down.

In the succeeding years, the nation encountered several more civil wars, this time against Natives who fought for independence even deep within the national territory, eventually, California, a once-native state joined the union, as several migrants came to this part of a successful native state known as Westicine, which eventually became part of Canada as too did other nations in the North like Lakea. All in all, 3 distinct civil wars/revolts were between Natives and 'Murica contributing more to the enmity between them that lead to the foundation of competing and opposing ideologies.

In the end, California and the Great Plains and Texas seceded, breaking 'Murica into 3, but they were still allied, this left them more vulnerable to invasions by Canada however, thus leading Canada to encompass much territory than it does in our timeline.

In its competition against the Natives and Canada, the UFSM (United Federal States of 'Murica) supported the Omani Caliphate/Empire as they conquered nearby territory eventually becoming one of the richest nations in all of history, while Canada and allies supported those seeking independence and protection from expanding empires. This caused the formalization of their ideologies as they engaged in a beginning global Cold War. Federmurcists also supported the Sunshine Federation (Japan) while Natindiginists supported the Busan Dynasty. For some time, a new threat, a third player, also emerged, the Soviets. They primarily caused problems to the Natindiginists who supported Huighurstan and Tibet, a large independent prosperous state west of China which was many tiny broken princely states, as was India. In this timelines, food resources are much more plentiful and crops have evolved to grow in large quantity in a small area, making food density and therefore population density more than enough.

The temporary formation of the Soviet Union comprising previously Russian land spread the ideas of Communism to the Far East giving rise to Soviet Siberia, Soviet Mongolia, Soviet Manchuria, Soviet Korea, Soviet China, who were all once part of the Union but became independently allied very connected.
