Ok. No replies on anything I've come out with. I'll just keep working on them when I get a chance.
How about I throw a liitle bit of history at y'all?
The USD got it's independence from INSERT in 1953. The economy was booming at the time but they had ho armed forces. They quickly set up a National Guard Base in every city-state and surprisingly many people signed up, creating a sizeable Guard. Meanwhile, an Atlanta based manufacturer, Atlanta Auto Corp. started to take over abandoned military bases and shipyards left by the INSERTS. With the newly established government not wanting to cause any susicion by buying military vehicles from other nations, they turned to AAC for designing, manufacturing and testing of new military vehicles. Soon after AAC grew due to the amount of government contracts. The government already had a Nat. Guard, so they created a Coast Guard in the summer of 1968. After acquiring ex-INSERT cutters, they soon realized they were far too big for the USD Archipelago. In 1971 Atlanta Marine Corp., a new division of AAC, started production of 5 new Challenger Frigates, along with various patrol craft. In 1983, 30 years after they got their independence, the government put into action the creation of an Army and it's branches, the Army Air Force, the Army Rangers, and the Army Special Operations. In 1987 rebels of the island nation of 2ND INSERT, an ally of USD, revolted against it's government. USD launched a military campaign to help restore order, and were successful. In 1990 the government finally created another military division, the Navy and it's branch, the Marines. In 1993 AMC launched the Navy's first frigate, the McKinney Class FFG-001 Charles Denton (named after the guy who found the island system).
That's what I have so far.
Also, I haven't decided on who we get our independence from, so that's why I have "INSERT" in the story.
If any of you have ideas, please share them. I was thinking the British... Not sure though...
