Crimson Dusk

Crimson Dusk
This scenario explores a timeline stemming from Kaiserreich, a Hearts of Iron IV mod. In the world of Crimson Dusk, the Combined Syndicates of America achieve victory in the Second American Civil War. However, shortly after Syndicalist victory, Earl Brown and his totalist Trade Union Unity League rose to power, crushing any opposition and ruling with an iron fist. Despite this, the Combined Syndicates became a global superpower, rivaling the German Empire in the east and Japanese Empire in the west.

An increasingly globalized market economy put pressure on the Combined Syndicates to remain competitive. Throughout the 1970’s and 80’s, many reforms were adopted and many industries were gradually privatized. The economy continued to flourish, but many across the nation felt it was still not enough, and started demanding for a louder voice in the government. The Electoral Reform Directive of 2000 finally allowed any party to run for government.

Can the Trade Union Unity League reform and attract a new coalition in an increasingly changing America, or will the opposition be able to organize and win to promote its vision for a new American democracy?
