New Ryfoya Union

The NRU
The New Ryfoya Union, most often shortened to N.R.U, is the largest industrial and economic force on Earth, and one of the up-and-coming powerhouses of the Milky-Way Galaxy. Having colonies across the southern sectors of the Galaxy, they have plenty of resources at their disposal.

Pre- End of the World
Despite only having risen to power in recent times, the NRU, stands as one of the oldest nations left on Earth. Having been formed in late 2016, then known as "The Western Union", made up of California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington, during the second American Civil War. However, this was short lived, as the nuclear war of the End of The World Event took place months later in early 2017.

The Age of Factions
After the world had ended, very little was left to be salvaged. With the land scorched from atomic hellfire, remaining groups banded together to create a number of factions. These having included: From the End of The World event, all the way into the late 21st century, this was how the Western U.S. remained.
 * Kingdom of Ryfoya: A fringe religious group Inhabiting the Sierra-Nevada mountain ranges, persecuting anyone who did not worship the Pantheon in the way they dictated, with their capital in Reno, Nevada.
 * Super Faction: The most powerful and wealthy of the factions, spanning most of Northern and Central California. They used their influence to try and keep peace during this age. Their capital being in San Francisco.
 * the Free California State: A city-state on the outskirts of the old bombed-out state capital, Sacramento.
 * Republic of Las Vegas: A faction spread throughout the southern region of Nevada. In a state of near constant war with the Kingdom of Ryfoya, as they saw gambling as a grave sin.
 * New Galora: A militant industrial state spanning from San Diego to Santa Barbara, that raided nearby factions and towns for resources to further fuel their factories.
 * Grand Pacifica: Taking up most of Washington and Northern Oregon, they were a shut-in nation, with barely any diplomatic or trade relations with the outside world.
 * American State of Oregon: The only faction that remained loyal to the U.S., with whom they rarely even made contact with.

Ryfoya's Return and Unification
In the year 2078, the world remained a land of ruin. The world was still irradiated, and little land was suitable for cultivation. However, a miracle was brought upon the Earth. Ryfoya himself, god of knowledge and son of the Great Creator, Astora, returned to Earth for the first time since the 1950's. When he saw what had unfolded upon his precious adopted home of Earth, he wept for what had become of it. With his draconic form, he took flight across the skies, using his power dragon fire to cleanse the Earth of most of it's radiation.
