American Havana

American Havana, officially the United States of America is an internationally disputed state located on the island of Cuba in the northern Caribbean.

Following the Whites' defeat in the Second American Civil War, the military government under Douglas MacArthur's National Salvation Front fled to the island and annexed the nominally independent Cuban republic. The early years of US/NSF rule on Cuba were marked by political repression and the forcible imposition of Anglo-American culture as dominant upon the native Hispanic, Mestizo and Afro-Cuban populations. The domestic situation temporarily relaxed with the government's entry into World War II on the side of the Allied rather than Axis powers, in part to prevent unrest at home from hampering the war effort, only to re-intensify following the onset of the Cold War. Rates of emigration would skyrocket as native Cubans fled to Florida on the United Republics mainland. Following the death of Douglas MacArthur in 1963, the government of his successor, Robert Kennedy, began to introduce reforms and liberalize the state, moving towards democracy and racial equality. The state has since developed a functional multi-party system, although repression of the anti-capitalist left has persisted.

Historical
American Havana inherited the semi-presidential system of the Old Republic. However under the state of emergency all independent political activities were suppressed by the ruling National Salvation Front, and the nation was a de facto one-party authoritarian state.

The executive power was vested on President-For-Life Douglas MacArthur who, in contravemtion of the XVI amendment, appointed the First Secretary. Legislative power was legally vested within Congress, whose members were appointed for life as a consequence their exile from the mainland, and no elections were held during the emergency period. Members of Congress were officially described as being representatives of their constituencies in exile, such as for instance the Nazi double-agent, Douglas Chandler, was oficially referred to as the Senator of Illinois (in exile).

The discrepancy between the democratic-populist rhetoric and the authoritarian ruling of the NSF lead critics to sardonically refer to American Havana as "National Socialist People's Vacation Utopia".
