=== Recent history ===
=== Postbellum ===


On August 2nd, after the American victory against the USA in the Battle of Vither State, much of its playerbase quit, and its land was put up for sale. The USA was promptly placed under "new management" as a puppet of the United States under player 4KayP7. For all intents and purposes, this was the end of the USA as an independent state distinct from the Commonwealth. Lancaster was retroceded to the Commonwealth by purchase on the same day, followed by Pennsylvania City, Pennsylvania on August 4th, and Baltimore on August 5th.
Following the American victory against the Turkish-led USA in the Battle of Vither State on August 2nd, a large portion of the defeated faction's player base quit, and the nation was put up for sale for 15,000 gold. The in-game nation was subsequently established as an independent and sovereign nation under 4KayP7. That same day, HibachiBeamz and 4KayP7 assisted in repurchasing Lancester, which was renamed West St. Willis, for the Commonwealth. This was soon followed by the recovery of Pennsylvania City on August 4th and Baltimore on August 5th, also funded by HibachiBeamz and 4KayP7. The USA subsequently disbanded its government operations after being transferred to 4daniel, who then sold it to EthanTheParrot for 11,500 gold.


Flippizzacake, veteran of the American Civil War and President of America, resigned from office three days before the August 2026 general election for unknown reasons, causing his Vice President, Bachinuni, to be sworn into office. During his relatively short term, he created the G.O.A.T. medal, before awarding it to HibachiBeamz, JoeSheisty, and Beefour for their performance in the 9th EFL Super Bowl, and ordered the construction of a memorial statue for the player [[Paradox_1080]].

After the resignation of Sayerleft from American politics, which resulted in a power struggle between Milwaukee and Chicago for the status as the nation's spawn and capital, Chicago, the largest city in the country, seceded from America under [[Setrus]], the mayor of the city. This has subsequently resulted in a nationwide political crisis that has also seen the towns in New Jersey leave, however this has largely unaffected the population numbers.
=== Chicago crisis ===
After the resignation of Sayerleft from American politics, which resulted in a power struggle between Milwaukee and Chicago for the status as the nation's spawn and capital, Chicago, the largest city in the country, seceded from America under [[Setrus]], the mayor of the city. Initially joining New York to earn a bonus in creating its own nation, it became the capital of the newfound nation of ''Heartlands'', which was later renamed to [[Nostra:Chicagoland]]. This subsequently resulted in a nationwide political crisis that has also seen the towns in New Jersey and near Pittsburgh leave, beginning the nadir of American stability and political power.
 
The secession of Chicago and New Jersey, both of whom temporarily joined [[Nostra:New York|New York]], also sparked an international crisis as [[Nostra:Texas|Texas]] issued condemnations of New York itself, Acadia, and also Quebec for "taking advantage" of the collapse. This led to counter-condemnations, and the near outbreak of war.
 
The situation eventually recovered, though, and contrary to what was anticipated, America did not completely collapse. Pittsburgh made the decision to rejoin the nation, alongside its neighbors.
 
=== Recent history ===
Due to the lasting effects of the Chicago crisis and the general disdain for the current American political establishment and culture, heavy administrative reform is currently underway, albeit unclear.

== Supreme Court ==
The [[Nostra:Supreme_Court_of_America|Supreme Court of America]] is the highest court, constitutional tribunal, civil court, and trial-level court of general jurisdiction in the national judiciary of the [[Nostra:America|Commonwealth of America]]. It has ultimate original jurisdiction over all national court cases if a matter is raised to the court relating to the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z9h8yzoFW0J6sdQ7-udRvsP6zzk5dG%205M1EYMMKjKyw/edit?tab=t.0 National Constitution of the Commonwealth of America] or laws of America, and over town court cases that involve a point of American constitutional or national law; and it also has inferred appellate jurisdiction over cases settled in local tribunals or courts. The court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law, and the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction, unless the President uses their authority to refer a passed law to the Supreme Court to evaluate its constitutionality before the President decides to sign it.
The Court is composed of 4 sitting Justices, with a Chief Justice who serves as the administrative head of the American judiciary. The Chief Justices' duties shall include the assignment of Justices to specific Circuit cases, the designation of authors for the Court’s majority opinions, and the management of the Supreme Court's docket to ensure a fair, speedy, and free trial. Assisted by three Associate Justices, all sitting members of the Court are appointed by Presidential nomination with legislative confirm and consent with bimonthly retention elections
