| + | The '''United States of Adainia (USA)''', commonly referred to as '''Adainia''', the '''United States''', or '''The-New-Empire-Where-The-Sun-Never-Sets''', is a federal republic composed of six states, two federally controlled sectors, the Foxborough Federal District, eight major semi-autonomous territories, and various possessions. The six states, two federal sectors, and the FFD are in the eastern Pacific Ocean west of the North American continent. The eight major semi-autonomous territories are around the world. Gold-Coast, Laurentia, Ellesmere, and Aleutia are in the North American continent. Kingsland encompasses the British Isles, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, southwestern Germany, and the northwestern coasts of Spain and France.

Luzon consist of the northern Philippines, specifically Luzon and most of its associated islands. Adainia's smaller possessions and colonies are situated around the world and in parts of the solar system. Viking, a research colony on Jupiter's moon Europa, is the furthest out Adainian possession with people.

It is also the world's most geographically and environmentally diverse nation, home to a vast variety of wildlife. | ||

It remained largely unsettled until around 1680 AD, when the archipelago was colonized by the Chinese.

The Spanish Empire discovered both the Adainian archipelago and the Zhou-Ling around 1782 during the establishment of Californian missions. A short, relatively undocumented conflict lasted for two years starting from the discovery of the Zhou-Ling. The Spanish were defeated, and the Zhou-Ling remained independent and isolationist. During American expansion to the west, the Zhou-Ling were once again discovered around 1867.

The United States of Adainia (USA), commonly referred to as Adainia, the United States, or The-New-Empire-Where-The-Sun-Never-Sets, is a federal republic composed of six states, two federally controlled sectors, the Foxborough Federal District, eight major semi-autonomous territories, and various possessions. The six states, two federal sectors, and the FFD are in the eastern Pacific Ocean west of the North American continent. The eight major semi-autonomous territories are around the world. Gold-Coast, Laurentia, Ellesmere, and Aleutia are in the North American continent. Kingsland encompasses the British Isles, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, southwestern Germany, and the northwestern coasts of Spain and France. Adainian Liberia is on the West African coast. The Sino-Belt consists of what was southern China and most of Burma. Luzon consist of the northern Philippines, specifically Luzon and most of its associated islands. Adainia's smaller possessions and colonies are situated around the world and in parts of the solar system. Viking, a research colony on Jupiter's moon Europa, is the furthest out Adainian possession with people. When including territories, Adainia is approximately 4,209,469 km² and possesses a population of over 3.021 billion people. It is the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nation, the product of large-scale immigration and the possession of territories around the world. It is also the world's most geographically and environmentally diverse nation, home to a vast variety of wildlife.
Paleo-Indians migrated from the North American mainland onto the Adainian archipelago at least 15,000 years ago, when the archipelago was primarily one island. Around 10 AD, the archipelago experienced an extreme seismic event which caused it to be submerged until approximately 1300 AD. It remained largely unsettled until around 1680 AD, when the archipelago was colonized by the Chinese.

The Spanish Empire discovered both the Adainian archipelago and the Zhou-Ling around 1782 during the establishment of Californian missions. A short, relatively undocumented conflict lasted for two years starting from the discovery of the Zhou-Ling. The Spanish were defeated, and the Zhou-Ling remained independent and isolationist.

After failed attempts at diplomacy, the United States declared war on the Zhou-Ling and fought from 1867 to 1869 – when the archipelago once again experienced a seismic event which caused its submersion.
In January, 1947, the Adainian archipelago once again resurfaced into the form it possesses today. The American government launched a federal expedition, lead by Thomas Adams, to explore and map the archipelago. However, a series of unfortunate events lead to the death of a majority of the expedition's crew from 200 to 41. Despite much hardship, Thomas Adams was able to lead his expedition to survive within their harsh environment.
