United States Empire
The United States empire (USE) is a crew founded in December 2015 by Galaxy219 and currently led by Pennsylvania_ (CelticTiger38) and Raven228. It is the largest and most active American crew on the server.
Beginning
USE was founded in November 2015 by former Elf Galaxy219. USE was formed because Galaxy got into a fight with some of the other Elves so he decided to leave and make his own crew. This did not go over well with some of the Elven Empire leaders such as CelticTiger38 so they led an attack on Galaxy that lasted about 12 hours. After the attack was over, Galaxy decided to stay in his new crew and he was joined by several other players such as Red_Wing and SBurger6969.
Prosperity and Trouble
Early December marked a very successful time for USE. New members including Quackbot, BlackMambaVenom, AidsPlays, _grandon_, Xboy123, Astrobolt, lites59, and even the leader of the attack on Galaxy, CelticHawk. They formed a very nice town called Decky Town that served as the Capitol of the empire. Decky Town was a large fortress with many watch towers and it had two mob spawners near by. There was also a giant mine within Decky Town that helped get resources for the crew.

But all was not well in USE. The troubles first started when Decky Town was attacked three times in one week in early December, and the lack of proper coordination between the USE members caused CelticHawk to leave the crew. USE continued to get attacked throughout the whole month by various crews such as CoV, Cubigran, and Solis. There was also a name dispute with the Thirteen Colonies over the rights to the United States name. Despite all of these problems, USE held together and had over 40 members by the time the new year started.
Attempted Government Takeover
On New Years Eve, a group of USE members led by AidsPlays demoted Galaxy219 and overthrew the USE government. The situation got worse after Galaxy found out and AidsPlays lied claiming it was a glitch. Aids later gave Galaxy control back and then left to form the crew SKATS with QuackBot, BlackMambaVenom, CelticHawk, and SBurger6969.
Inactivity and Reformation
After SKATS was formed, Galaxy and Red_Wing declared war on them. The war lasted for a very short time and the members of SKATS rejoined USE (except Celtic and SBurger, as they joined Enigma). After this was settled, most of USE went inactive for a long time, leading to loss of members. They reemerged in early February, with Galaxy and Red_Wing rejoining the Elves do to CelticHawk being in it. Before they left however, they put Xboy123 in charge so the crew would not go completely inactive.
In May 2016, Galaxy, Larry_Palomino (formerly known as Red_Wing), Sburger, and Sir_Croc0dile (Celtic) rejoined USE. After improving the ruined crew home, they got into a war with the 13 Colonies, which is currently ongoing according to the Thirteen Colonies leader NickyB_123, but little action has happened so far and attempts at resolving the conflict diplomatically have failed.
More Problems and Second Reformation
After USE reformed, it became clear that the new government was failing. Fights were constantly breaking out and the empire was practically in a civil war. Finally, after all the fights, Galaxy219 and Xboy123 left USE and joined Solis, leaving Sir_Croc0dile as president. Croc0dile attempted to rule with Larry_Palomino (now known as Astros_Mother} as his vice president, but Astros_Mother ended up leaving the crew. Croc0dile then ruled with SBurger6969 as his Vice President, but Croc stepped down in mid-June, leaving SBurger as the new president.
USE was revived again in October 2016 by CelticHawk, Raven228, Galaxy219, Xboy123, and SBurger6969. They built a new settlement, Sailorton. This new revival did not last long, however, as everyone eventually became busy and left, save for SBurger, who became interim president once again.
Current Era
In March 2017, USE was reformed once more. Galaxy was not apart of this rebuild, but he decided to play an advisory role instead. The new government was led by CelticHawk (now known as Pennsylvania_), Raven228, and SBurger6969. Loyal members Merk_Slayer (AidsPlays) and Xboy123 also returned. One of the first things the new government did was build a roof over top of Decky Town. They also started to build trails from the Western part of the Empire to the Eastern part. USE has made a great comeback and will continue to grow and prosper.
Geography
USE is a fairly large nation in the Southwestern part of the piratecraft world. It is divided into six states- East Diana, West Diana, Palus, Centralis, North Solitius, and South Solitius. The land is mostly desert and savannah with some swamp and forest mixed in. The capital of Decky Town lies in the center of the country.
