State: Massachusetts
Adjacent States being claimed: Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine
Official/New Name: The Holy Atlantic Empire
Type of Government: Absolute Monarchy
Leader and Title: Emperor Edward II

History since independence. A few sentences will do. When the Union fell apart the Kennedy's led New England to unity. In 2012 Edward M. Kennedy Jr, who was running for the Massachuestts Senate Seat, urged the state to succede from the Union. The Bay Staters listened and in November of 2012 they voted 84% to 16% to withdraw from the union. The State Legislature met to write up a Constitution, with Ted Jr. serving as President of the Cnvention. The first constitution, which took 4 months to write, appointed Ted Jr. President of the Republic of Massachusetts. A few months into Ted's term Vermont fell into anarchy a few weeks after leaving the Union, he ordered the Armed Forces into Vermont to restore order and make it part of the Republic. The Vermonters agreeded, voting 61% to 39% to remain under Massachuestts' rule. In 2014 President Ted was elected to a second term, defeating former Republic Senator Scott Brown, and the Maine Transitional government collapsed. The Federal Congress ordered the annexation of Maine, citing it as a key part of Massachusetts history. The Annexation was very smooth and easy, with only minor fighting in the larger cities. In 2015 a vote was held and the people of Maine oted 58% to 42% to remain under Massachusetts' rule. A fter being elected to a third term in 2016 Ted Jr. declared himself Emperor Edward of the Holy Atlantic Empire, which Massachusetts and Vermotn accepted easily but Maine voiced concern. To keep the Mainers happy Emperor Edward lowered taxes on the Mainers and lowered tariffs for their ports. With his territories under control the Emperor looked South. He launched a campaign against Connecticut in 2017, but withdrew when winter, and a chicken pox outbreak, hit the Empire. In the spring of 2018 a new campaign was launched against New Hampshire. Emperor Edward led the War from the front lines, which rallied the troops and led them to victory. After 3 months of war Concord fell and the Granite state crumbled. Empeor Edward as content with his Empire and most of the people where happy. On a trip to New Hampshire shorty after the War ended Emperor Edward died of a heart attack and was succeded by his son, Prince-Imperial Edward M. Kennedy III, in August 2018. Emperor Edward II ordered reforms of the tax sytem, lowering taxes for the poor and the rich alike, and increasinf the budgest for education and health and human services.
