The United States of South America (USSA) is a nation in the Cosmic Era timeline.

Overview

The USSA is a superstate which formerly controlled much of Central and South America. Its capital is Buenos Aires. It is however a very weak country, and has no military forces on their own. It however once controlled the Panama Spaceport which is the location of the Porta Panama Mass Driver, which the USSA constructed in collaboration with the Atlantic Federation.

History

While the exact date and reason why the USSA was formed are unknown, it can be assumed that it is one of the nations which emerged as a result of the Reconstruction War. In C.E. 17, the country collaborated with the Atlantic Federation in the construction of the Porta Panama Mass Driver, although they remained an unimportant country for the next decades and also didn't participate in the funding of the PLANTs. In C.E. 68, the USSA, together with the Oceania Union made secret arrangements with PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Siegel Clyne to covertly exchange shipments of food and manufactured goods, which angered the sponsor nations. When the First Alliance-PLANT War began in C.E. 70, the USSA refused to join the newly formed Earth Alliance. On February 19 of the same year, OMNI Enforcer forces launched an armed invasion of the USSA, and its territory was annexed by the Atlantic Federation.

After the First Alliance-PLANT War, the USSA sought for independence, resulting in the South American War for Independence. The most prominent figure of this war was Edward Harrelson, an Earth Alliance defector, who was critically wounded in his last battle against Earth Alliance ace pilot Rena Imelia. When the Junius Treaty was signed, the USSA became independent again but it didn't have Central America in its territory anymore. However when the Second Alliance-PLANT War started, the USSA got forcibly allied with the Earth Alliance once again because of the World Security Treaty Organization and after the end of the war, it is presumed that the USSA became independent once again.
