Fiction:POTATO

"Space, the final frontier. Our ongoing mission: spreading democracy so those blasted commies and Japanese don't get more powerful than they should."

- President Marcus Antonio

The Pacific Overseas Territories and American Treaty Organization, often shortened to POTATO or referred to as the United Space of America, is an interstellar federal republic of transhumans inhabiting the. Consisting of the 21st-century nations of the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, the Phillipines, Cuba, and Jamaica, as well as numerous local alien species such as the Centaurians, POTATO has a strong tradition of cultural diversity and tolerance.

The Third World War was an early dark age for the young alliance, with POTATO losing control of Texas, Quebec, and parts of New England over the course of the devastating war, eventually achieving victory with assistance from a reluctant and Yamato Stellar Empire. POTATO recovered from the devastation, however, and expanded outwards into space intent on catching up to their rivals which had already colonized other planets. The resurgence of POTATO led to the establishment of human colonies throughout Sol and in the Alpha Centauri and Sigma Draconis systems, restoring POTATO to its former position as a forefront human power.

POTATO is currently governed by President Brock Obama, a descendant of the American President Barack Obama from the early 21st century. He seeks to continue POTATO's mission of spreading liberty and democratic ideals to the universe as well as consolidating the Treaty Organization's holdings in the local sector as it continues to face the constant threat of conflict with POTATO's rivals, especially the.
