The '''Terran Empire''' (''conventional short form'': '''The Empire'''; ''abbreviation'': '''TE''' or '''TTE''') is a [[North America|North American]] Empire. Founded originally as 13 colonies in the [[British Empire]], Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country on July 4, 1776 with the [[Declaration of Independence]].<ref>IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776. [http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/index.htm The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America], ushistory.org, (Accessed August 2010).</ref> The new nation became recognized as the United States of America following the [[American Revolutionary War|War of Independence]] in 1783.
 +
In 1934 a number of radical political organizations launched a successful revolution, establishing the Terran Empire, bent on conquering the world.  
    +
The Terran Empire is currently the sole [[superpower]] left in the world.
   −
*Obama’s first interview, within days of inauguration, was with the [[Dubai]]-based Al-Arabiya Networks. In it he stressed his own Muslim ties and his hopes for a Palestinian state. His message was “U.S. is not your enemy.
+
The capital of the Terran Empire is [[Detroit]].
   −
*One of Obama's first acts as president, he decided to close [[Guantanamo Bay|GITMO detention center]] and bring Muslim terrorists to [[American]] soil.

   −
*In February, Obama ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the [[Palestinian]] refugees and conflict victims in Gaza. In addition, he pledged to provide $900 million in aid for rebuilding the [[Hamas]]-controlled Gaza Strip.

Ethnic groups: white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate) note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the TE Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the TE who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total TE population is Hispanic <ref> [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html CIA - The World Factbook.] </ref>
   −
*Obama orders additional [[U.S.]] troops to [[Afghanistan]] to fight the [[Taliban]].
+
In 2010, around 400,000 [[illegal immigrants]] were executed. The Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research organization in Washington, estimates 11.5 million to 12 million "unauthorized migrants" live in the TE today. <ref> [http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0516/p01s02-ussc.html Illegal immigrants in the US: How many are there?] </ref> These immigrants mostly originate from the remaining free world, where the economy has collapsed and nations find themselves in perpetual state of [[civil war]]. Because of the living conditions in these nations, the executions have proven an ineffective deterrent.  
   −
*On March 19th, Obama delivered a customary speech to the Iranian people on their New Year referring to the Islamic Republic of [[Iran]] which amounted to an acceptance of the regime.

North America, bordering both the North [[Atlantic Ocean]] and the North [[Pacific Ocean]], is between [[Canada]] and [[Mexico]]. In addition to the boundaries of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, the Terran Empire is otherwise bounded by the Bering Sea, the Arctic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Puerto Rico, which is largely self governing, is part of the TE, as are several smaller territories in the Pacific Ocean, such as Guam.

+
At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.6 million km²), the TE (including its non-contiguous and overseas states and territories) is the third largest country by total area. It is the world's third most populous nation, with over 350 million people.<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html CIA World Factbook], ''North America :: United States'', Updated on February 4, 2010, (Accessed on March 5, 2010).</ref>

*In March, Barack Obama said he was open to the idea of reaching out to moderate elements of the [[Taliban]]. <ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE52U2EC20090331 Clinton offers olive branch to Taliban] Reuters, March 31, 2009</ref>
+
The history of the Terran Empire is not too long: The Terran Empire as we know it was formed in 1934. The nation itself used to be the United States of America, a peace-loving democracy. However, after the Terran Uprising it became an expansionist empire.
   −
*March 31st, U.S. Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]] said those "who abandoned [Muslim] extremism must be granted an honorable form of reconciliation." <ref>[http://www.thefoxnation.com/politics/2009/03/31/hillary-offers-olive-branch-taliban Hillary offers olive branch to Taliban] The Fox Nation, March 31, 2009</ref>
+
===The Terran Uprising===
   −
*Obama arrives in [[Turkey]] to proclaim the [[U.S.]] is not at war with Islam.
+
In 1934 a number of radical political organizations have met in Detroit. Few days later, the Terran Uprising began. It soon spread to the entire territory of now former United States. In the end, Terrans prevailed. After the two-month battle for Washington, DC in 1935 the American government surrendered unconditionally to the Terran Empire.
   −
*Obama signs order to release documents from President [[Ronald Reagan]]'s White House and President [[George H.W. Bush]]’s presidential library records on the topic of [[Saudi Arabia]]. <ref>[http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21121.html Obama releases Reagan records] Politico, April 10, 2009</ref>
+
===Post-Uprising===
   −
*Obama requests emergency war funds for Afghanistan and [[Iraq]].
+
After the triumph of the Uprising, newly-formed Terran government worked hard on consolidating power. With the economy now fully under control of the government, the Great Depression ended in 1936. Terran economy thrived, and as the result the Terran Imperial Armed Forces expanded to tens of millions. The Terran Empire, however, still maintained peace with the world. This changed in 1941. [[Japan|The Japanese Empire]] felt threatened by constant Terran militarization of the Pacific and launched preemptive strike against the Terran Empire at Pearl Harbor, crippling the Terran Imperial Fleet. This, however, played right into Terran hands. Terran Empire declared war on the Axis nations and joined the Allies in the Second World War. The war went into Allies’ favor and was won in 1945. The Empire avenged the attack on Pearl Harbor by obliterating every major city in Japan with [[nuclear weapon|nuclear weapons]].  
   −
*Obama orders the successful rescue of American Capt. [[Richard Phillips]] from Muslim Somali pirates.
+
In the subsequent [[Cold War]] former allies became enemies. Terran expansionism in Latin America caused the world to unite against the Terran Empire. In 1974 the Third World War started. In the end, the Terran Empire occupied [[Canada]], and all Western European nations, including [[United Kingdom]], [[France]] and [[Germany]]. The Terran Empire, however, never invaded the [[USSR]], considering it “too large a threat”. The Third World War ended in 1985.
   −
*Obama nominated Dalia Mogahed to the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. She has ties to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. <ref>[http://familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2987/pub_detail.asp  Esposito Protégé Appointed To Obama Advisory Council] Family Security Matters, April 14, 2009</ref>
+
Finding it difficult to control these vast territories, the Terran Empire liberated each of these nations, forming the Terran Unification Treaty Organization (TUTO). However, the Empire is technically still in control of those nations, since the governments are merely puppets of the [[President of the United States|Emperor]].
   −
*April 21, Obama meets with [[Jordanian]] King Abdullah in the Oval Office.
+
After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, there was no [[superpower]] left to impede the Terran march to victory. Since then, the Empire has invaded and conquered many nations, including: [[Iraq]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Kuwait]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Iran]], [[Georgia]], [[Ukraine]], [[Poland]], [[Slovakia]], [[Croatia]], [[Serbia]], [[Kosovo]], [[Montenegro]], and many African nations. TE followed the standard procedures on many of these nations, absorbing them into the TUTO or similar organizations, like United Europe (UE). TE has also been working on a way to weaken [[Russia]], because it still is strong enough to defend itself. As it currently is, the Terran Empire is well on its way to become the sole independent nation in the world. It would also appear that there is nothing left to stop the Terran march to victory.
   −
*Obama said that despite the hate speech by [[Ahmadinejad]] at Monday's [[U.N.]] racist conference, the administration is "serious about engagement with Iran with no illusions." <ref>[http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/obama-iran-diplomacy-to-continue-despite-appalling-speech-2009-04-21.html Obama: Iran effort continues despite 'appalling' talk] TheHill.com, April 21, 2009</ref>
+
==Government==
   −
*The Obama administration declassifies Bush administration harsh interrogation methods used against Muslim terrorists
+
The government of the Terran Empire is based in Detroit, to commemorate the Terran Uprising.
   −
*Barack Obama has approved plans for the U.S. to help the [[United Arab Emirates]] become the first Arab nation with a nuclear power industry. <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/20/obama-approves-plans-uae-nuclear-power-deal/?test=latestnews Obama Approves Plans for U.S.-UAE Nuclear Power Deal] Fox News, May 20, 2009</ref>
+
Although TE is an [[empire]], it is peculiar because it does not have an "imperial family" established. Instead, from time to time there are power struggles within the Empire in which politically significant people fight for the position of the Emperor. Though, these power struggles are illegal, it has [[John F. Kennedy|never prevented people from trying]]. Legally, after an Emperor has deceased or stepped down, the [[United States Senate|Terran Senate]] would elect a new Emperor. These occurrences are, however, rare.

===Executive Branch===
   −
*The Obama administration refused to help pro-democratic protesters in Iran.<ref>http://newledger.com/2009/06/say-goodbye-to-cairo-obamas-inaction-on-iran-clashes-with-his-words/</ref>
+

 +
*Head of government: The Emperor/Empress of the Terran Empire
 +
*Elections: There is no sign of democracy in the Terran Empire. The position of Emperor/Empress is perpetual.
   −
*Obama celebrates [[Ramadan]] at the White House 09/01/09
+
===Legislative Branch===
   −
9/09 through 6/10 content needed
+
The Terran legislative branch of government is a [[bicameral]] Congress, which consists of the [[United States Senate|Terran Senate]]. Ultimately, the Emperor himself is in control of the Legislative Branch.

==Obama Presidency Year Two==

===Judicial Branch===
*Obama pushes for and gets a new constitution passed for [[Kenya]]. The new constitution creates Islamic courts for 12% of the population that are Muslim. <ref>[http://weaselzippers.us/2010/08/06/obama-congratulates-kenya-for-passing-constitution-he-bankrolled-implements-sharia-in-non-muslim-country-liberalizes-abortion/#comment-263165 Obama Congratulates Kenya for Passing Constitution He Bankrolled, Implements Sharia in Non-Muslim Country, Liberalizes Abortion, WeaselZippers.us, August 6, 2010]</ref>
     −
*Obama hosts an Iftar dinner celebrating [[Ramadan]] in the State Dining Room 09/13/2010
+
Terran Judicial System is based on swift justice. Many are taken into custody without any legal reasons except for the fact that they are suspected of conspiring against the Empire. Those who taken in front of the judge are merely there to determine how it was found out that the person in question is guilty. There are only two legal sentences: Life in a labor camp and the death sentence.
   −

+
Where the Terran Imperial Armed Forces represents the Emperor’s right hand, the [[Central Intelligence Agency|Terran Intelligence Agency]] represents the gun in that hand. TIA is a paramilitary organization above the law. TIA is also in control of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigations|Terran Bureau of Investigations]], the Terran police agency. Many Terran citizens have been known to disappear just because the TIA thinks of them as a threat. TIA’s torture methods have became infamous throughout the world.

+
The TE has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $126,000. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. TE business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products.
