"面對歐洲列強，美利堅合眾國堅決維護了美洲的獨立權。不過，這個國家也正在強制驅趕數以千計的美洲原住民離開家園，同時各州就奴隸制問題展開了激烈的辯論。美國的未來會是什麼模樣？"

美國，全稱美利堅合眾國，是位於北美的國家。其首都是位於哥倫比亞特區的華盛頓城，貿易中心位於紐約州紐約城。

概況

美國以大國的身份開始遊戲，儘管在第六名的聲望中處於該類別的最底部，只有 294 聲望。相比之下，第一名的大英帝國擁有高達 1405 的聲望，因此美國要趕上還有很長的路要走，但美國很有可能上升到第一名。美國開始時的地理領土相對較大，最初有 26 個建制州和 5 個未建制州，外加 8 個正在進行的殖民地，相對寬鬆的法律，成熟的早期工業和列強中第二高的識字率，但一支非常小的常備軍只有 11 個營和 30 個艦隊;美國早期依靠國家民兵的徵兵來抵禦更強大的大國。美國的主要追求是實現「昭示命運」——從東海岸到西海岸延伸到整個北美，這一追求得到了許多獨特的日記條目和決定的推動，如果成功，可以將美國的核心領土擴大到包括 49 個州。他們也許能夠說服英國和平交出俄勒岡州的領土，但墨西哥僅憑言辭放棄其在太平洋沿岸的領土的可能性要小得多。然而，德克薩斯州的領土正在與墨西哥進行分裂戰爭，如果他們取得勝利，他們將非常願意加入美國。還有一種情況是，西部仍然存在各種美洲原住民部落，他們不會太熱衷於美國吞噬他們——並不是說他們能做很多事情來阻止它。然而，美國最大的障礙可能來自內部：它被一場關於奴隸制問題的激烈辯論所困擾，這場辯論有可能將這個國家一分為二。

美國是一個好國家，如果你想這麼玩：

• 您希望獲得成為大國的好處，而無需從一開始就統治整個遊戲，但仍然能夠上升到第一名
• 你想不受倒退法律或占主導地位的土地所有者階級的阻礙而開始
• 您希望明確定義擴展目標
• 你想建立一個多元化和自給自足的國內經濟
• 你想遠離歐洲的外交混亂

美國是經濟優勢目標的推薦國家。

地理

America's core territory at its greatest extent, after achieving Manifest Destiny and acquiring the Oregon Territory.

America's strategic regions

美國最初的領土位於新英格蘭、迪克西和中西部的戰略地區，已經開始向大平原擴張。它北部與下加拿大、上加拿大、哈德遜灣公司和哥倫比亞區（俄勒岡州）接壤，南部與德克薩斯州和墨西哥接壤。阿布薩羅卡、大蘇族（拉科塔）、阿拉帕霍、波尼、科曼奇、烏特和尼齊塔皮等分散的國家也與美國接壤，其中大多數已經處於殖民過程中。美國在擴張過程中也很可能會遇到Niimipuu，Apache和Navajo。美國的海岸線毗鄰緬因灣、大西洋沿岸、墨西哥灣，最終是太平洋沿岸。在最大程度上，美國的核心領土包含 3,204 塊耕地，理論上的人口軟上限為 3.204 億人。

文化與宗教

The homelands of America's two primary cultures, Yankee and Dixie, at their greatest extent after achieving Manifest Destiny and acquiring the Oregon Territory. Note that Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee are homelands of both cultures.

美國的主要文化是洋基和迪克西。這兩種文化都具有英語和歐洲傳統的特徵。美國最初的公民法是種族隔離，因此歐洲遺產的其他文化將被接受。在遊戲開始時，美國控制着除德克薩斯州以外的所有洋基和迪克西家園，但隨着國家向西擴張，這兩種文化都可以通過事件和決定獲得新的家園，直到最終除阿拉斯加和夏威夷之外的所有當今美國都被視為洋基和/或迪克西的家園。在華盛頓州和俄勒岡州的俄勒岡州（遊戲開始時稱為哥倫比亞區）存在少量洋基流行音樂，美國可以通過完成俄勒岡州邊界爭端來獲得這些流行音樂，這也將為這些州增加洋基的家園。德克薩斯州的絕大多數人口是迪克西，德克薩斯州從遊戲一開始也是迪克西的故鄉。美國內戰將導致主要是迪克西同盟國或主要美國佬自由州形成（這是一個特殊情況，戰爭是由革命引發的，但目的是分裂）。

美國也是少數族裔非裔美國人的家園。他們的特徵是英語和非洲血統，因此根據美國開始的種族隔離法，他們受到歧視，但在文化排斥或多元文化主義下會被接受。非裔美國人在奴隸制州遭受奴隸制，直到《禁止奴隸制》頒布。非裔美國人在路易斯安那州、密西西比州、阿拉巴馬州、佛羅里達州、佐治亞州、南卡羅來納州、德克薩斯州都有家園，可以通過文化分離或釋放形成新非洲的非裔美國人國家。

如果美國內戰發生，美利堅聯盟國被美國擊敗並重新吞併，那麼在重建過程中，美國有可能獲得非裔美國人和/或失去迪克西作為主要文化。

美國還將有許多來自各種美洲原住民部落的較小少數民族，所有這些部落都在美國領土上擁有家園。切諾基人特別值得注意，因為他們是印第安人遷移的對象，這將迫使他們遷移到印第安領土，往往造成巨大的生命損失。這些部落都與洋基或迪克西沒有任何文化特徵，因此只有在多元文化主義下才會被接受。切諾基人、普韋布洛人和易洛魁人都有自己的國家，可以通過文化分離或釋放而形成。

美國的國教是新教，具有基督教的特徵。美國最初的教會和州法律是完全分離的，因此沒有其他宗教會面臨歧視。

重建

America is an Empire that can be formed through Minor Unification by lesser countries with Yankee and/or Dixie primary culture, provided America does not currently exist. The following countries are capable of forming America:

The forming country must fully control at least 75% of the state regions that are Yankee and/or Dixie homelands in order to form America. Note that those state regions marked with a * in the table below do not have Yankee or Dixie homelands at the start of the game and only count towards requirements and progress for unification if a previous incarnation of America completed the necessary journal entries and/or decisions to add Yankee and/or Dixie homelands to these state regions. Between 25 and 37 state regions could be required to form America.

The American Civil War has no impact on the formation of America. Dixie will always be a primary culture of a newly formed America and Afro-American will not. The Dixie homelands will also always be taken into account for the purpose of unification progress and requirements even if the previous incarnation of America discarded Dixie as a primary culture.

America is not able to form any countries.

可釋放國家

America's releasable countries, except Texas and Louisiana which overlap with New Africa.

The following countries can be released by America or form through cultural secession.

In addition the American Civil War allows for the formation of one of two additional countries; the Confederate States of America or the Free States of America. If the player primarily opposed slavery then the Confederate States of America will form; its primary culture is Dixie and it will be formed dynamically from states where the Southern Planters and their revolutionary allies held power with a priority for slave states. If the player primarily supported slavery then the Free States of America will form; its primary culture is Yankee and it will be formed dynamically from states where the anti-slavery revolutionaries held power with a priority for non-slave states. Note that the Confederate States of America can be released after the civil war has been triggered regardless of which side actually seceded and it will always receive all state regions that have Dixie homelands (except District of Columbia if it is America's current capital) regardless of which states if any actually seceded.

政治

America's initial government is a Republic based on the Presidential Republic and Census Suffrage laws. The initial ruler is President Andrew Jackson, who is also the leader of the Rural Folk and guarantees that they will join the Democratic Party for as long as he leads them.

The Landowners in America are the Southern Planters. They have the Elitist ideology instead of the usual Paternalistic, which significantly changes their stances on several laws. Notably they prefer Presidential Republic or Parliamentary Republic instead of Monarchy or Theocracy and they have no stances on Economic System or Trade Policy. They also have the Pro-Slavery ideology because America does not have Slavery Banned. America starts with a unique modifier called The Missouri Compromise which gives the Southern Planters +25% political strength; combined with Local Police Force and Legacy Slavery they start with a total +60% political strength. The Southern Planters play a pivotal role in The Slavery Debate: if they start a revolution or if a revolution starts while they are in government, and The Slavery Debate is active then the revolution will become the American Civil War.

The Rural Folk have the Frontier Expansion ideology instead of the usual Isolationist, which causes them to support Colonial Resettlement.

The Intelligentsia will be the Southern Planters' primary opponents in The Slavery Debate and are the interest group of Abraham Lincoln.

The Devout in America are the Evangelicals.

日誌與決議

America has the following special Journal Entries and Decisions:

奴隸制辯論

此條目在遊戲開始時處於啟用狀態，其目標是頒布《禁止蓄奴》，並在不引起內戰的情況下使其持續10年。當此條目處於啟用狀態時，通常會觸發事件，玩家可以選擇安撫或激怒南方種植園主或知識分子。如果針對南方種植園的內戰已經開始，或者在南方種植園主執政期間內戰開始，則日誌條目將失敗，美國內戰將開始。成功完成這一日誌條目將完全避免美國內戰，也將廢止密蘇里妥協案。

國家重建

This entry becomes active after America wins the American Civil War by defeating and re-annexing the Confederate States of America. America has a limited time to complete two sub-objectives, success or failure will determine whether America retains Dixie and/or gains Afro-American as primary cultures. In order to retain Dixie as a primary culture America must re-incorporate all states that have Dixie homelands and have at least 20% of the Dixie populations in each of these states be loyalists. In order to gain Afro-American as a primary culture America must pass a citizenship law that accepts Afro-American, either Cultural Exclusion or Multiculturalism. While this entry is active events will periodically occur that will give the player the option of making either Dixie or Afro-American more loyalist at the expense of making the other more radical.

In addition a third sub-objective Wild, Wild West will also be active during the Reconstruction process. While this entry is active events will occur that will ask the player to respond to outlaw activity in the west, typically by choosing between increasing devastation or radicals in a western state. More favorable options can be unlocked by passing Multiculturalism and/or raising National Guard investment to at least level 3. This entry will complete when turmoil and devastation in all state regions that are Yankee and/or Dixie homelands are reduced below 10%.

Reconstruction will be complete when all three sub-objectives are completed and any applicable changes to America's primary cultures will be applied at this time.

驅逐印第安人

This entry activates automatically very soon after the start of the game. As long as it is active standard of living for Cherokee pops in America will be reduced by 3 and America will periodically get events regarding the forced migration of Cherokee pops to the Indian Territory, typically giving the player a choice on whether to give financial aid to reduce casualties. There are three different ways to complete this entry, each with a different effect:

• Enact Multiculturalism: America will annex the Indian Territory
• Enact No Colonial Affairs: temporarily increase standard of living for Cherokee, Muskogean and Algonquian pops in America by 2
• No Cherokee pops remain in America: A random interest group whose leader is Bigoted or Jingoist will temporarily gain 2 approval.

德克薩斯州

This entry is active at the start of the game. Texas must first win its initial war against Mexico, which typically happens by capturing Santa Anna. Then relations between America and Texas must be improved to at least 20. As soon as this is achieved and provided Texas is not at war Texas will get the event The Lone Star State which will determine Texas' relationship with America. If Texas is under AI control it will always choose to be annexed by America. If Texas is under player control then the Texas player may choose to become a Dominion of America or remain fully independent; if the latter option is chosen America will gain a claim on Texas.

此條目在遊戲開始時處於啟用狀態， 得克薩斯必須首先贏得對墨西哥的最初戰爭，這通常是通過攻占聖安娜來實現的。 然後美國和得克薩斯之間的關係必須至少提高到 20，一旦達到這個目標並且得克薩斯沒有處於戰爭狀態，得克薩斯將獲得事件 The Lone Star State，這將決定得克薩斯與美國的關係。 如果德克薩斯處於 AI 控制之下，它總是會選擇被美國吞併。 如果得克薩斯處於玩家控制之下，則得克薩斯玩家可以選擇成為美洲自治領或保持完全獨立； 如果選擇後一個選項，美國將獲得對德克薩斯的宣稱。

昭昭天命

This is a decision America can take after researching Nationalism. This will give America claims on the states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma and also start the journal entries Manifest Destiny: The Mexican Cession and Manifest Destiny: Frontier Wars. This decision also causes a Diplomatic Incident in Mexico that will increase America's infamy by 24 and reduce relations with all countries that have an interest in Mexico. The Mexican Cession will complete when America fully controls the state regions of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Texas and will add Yankee and/or Dixie homelands to these state regions. Frontier Wars will complete when America fully controls the state regions of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas and will add Yankee homelands to these state regions.

這是美國在研究民族主義之後可以做出的決議，這將賦予美國對加利福尼亞州、內華達州、猶他州、亞利桑那州、新墨西哥州和俄克拉何馬州的宣稱，並開始日誌條目昭昭天命：墨西哥割讓和昭昭天命：邊境戰爭。這一決議會使墨西哥獲得外交事件，這將使美國的惡名增加24，並降低與所有與墨西哥有利益關係的國家的關係。當美國完全控制加利福尼亞州、內華達州、亞利桑那州、新墨西哥州、猶他州和得克薩斯州使這些州獲得揚基或迪克西文化，墨西哥割讓完成。當美國完全控制蒙大拿州、懷俄明州、科羅拉多州、北達科他州、南達科他州，內布拉斯加州和堪薩斯州，並使這些州的本土文化變為揚基，邊境戰爭結束。

俄勒岡邊境爭端

This entry is active at the start of the game. The objective is for America to fully control the state regions of Montana and Wyoming and raise relations with Great Britain to at least Cordial. In addition the Oregon Trail must be mapped by completing the Map the American Western Frontier expedition (America does not have to be the country that maps the trail). Once all of these requirements are met and provided the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho are controlled by either Great Britain or one of its subjects (these states start under the control of Oregon, known as the Columbia District, which is a British subject at the start of the game) Great Britain will receive an event where they can peacefully cede these states to America. The AI will always agree to this. If the decision is rejected then America will gain claims on Oregon, Washington and Idaho and this journal entry will be replaced with Conquer Oregon. Regardless of how it is achieved, once America controls the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho this journal entry will complete and these state regions will gain Yankee homelands.

遊戲開始時此條目處於啟用狀態，美國的目標是完全控制蒙大拿州和懷俄明州，並將與英國的關係至少提高到親切。 此外，必須通過完成美國西部邊境探險地圖來繪製俄勒岡小徑的地圖（美國不一定是繪製小徑地圖的國家）。 一旦滿足所有這些要求，並且俄勒岡州、華盛頓州和愛達荷州由英國或其附庸國之一控制（這些州遊戲開始時由俄勒岡州控制，稱為哥倫比亞區，這是英國的附庸國 ）英國將收到一個事件，他們可以和平地將這些州割讓給美國，ai將永遠同意這一點。 如果該事件被拒絕，那麼美國將獲得對俄勒岡、華盛頓和愛達荷的宣稱，並且該日誌條目將被征服俄勒岡所取代，無論它是如何實現的，一旦美國控制了華盛頓州、俄勒岡州和愛達荷州該條目就會完成，使這些州的本土文化變成揚基。

第一條橫貫大陸的鐵路

當美國擁有所有加利福尼亞州和內布拉斯加州時此條目將生效， 目標是在內布拉斯加州、懷俄明州、猶他州、內華達州和加利福尼亞州修建鐵路。 這將觸發第一條橫貫大陸的鐵路事件，玩家可以選擇在太平洋沿岸或大平原暫時增加移民吸引力。

阿拉斯加收購案

這是當美國至少擁有60M的GDP並擁有華盛頓所有地區時，美國可以做出的決議。此外，與俄羅斯的關係必須至少為20，俄羅斯必須負債，而美國不能負債，兩國都不能開戰。當被啟用時，俄羅斯將獲得一個允許他們將阿拉斯加州賣給美國以換取 300 萬美元的事件，在一年內每周分期付款57700美元，AI將始終同意這一點。如果報價被拒絕，美國將獲得對阿拉斯加的宣稱。

成就

以下成就是美國獨有的：

去西部吧，年輕人: 以美國開局，擁有加利福尼亞、俄勒岡和華盛頓州並在上述各地區都擁有至少25萬人口。

滿天星條旗: 作為美國，使100個已整合地區在你的國旗上出現。

策略與指南

以下內容為諸多玩家中的一員所給出的，關於美利堅合眾國的策略建議。請注意，由於遊戲的動態機制，這些內容對其他玩家而言可能會以不同的方式展開。

Potential

If America acquires its entire potential core territory and utilizes all of its resources, attracts enough immigrants and supplements the economy with trade and Customs Unions, it can reach a weekly GDP of over $3 Billion with a population over 180 million and an average standard of living over 25 with near-100% literacy. GDP and population can go even higher through further conquest. These are not hard numbers and are only presented to give an idea of how powerful America can get just from its core territory.

Literacy

America's starting literacy of 44.7% makes it the second most literate of the Great Powers, second only to Great Britain in that regard. America should have no problem meeting literacy based qualifications and can thus begin or rather continue industrialization right away. Literacy can be expected to exceed 60% just from the starting Education institution investment. This high literacy also gives America a relatively high innovation cap and since America starts with the Academia and Dialetics technologies construction of Universities should be a top priority early on. The high literacy combined with Right of Assembly also gives America a lot of tech spread. All of this combined with its relatively high starting tech level should allow America to stay at the bleeding edge of the tech race and research every technology by the end of the game. Nationalism is a good first tech to research as it unlocks Manifest Destiny. Pharmaceuticals followed by Quinine should also be prioritized to be able to begin mapping the western frontier to eventually acquire Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

Economy

America is a geographically large country with access to an abundance and variety of natural resources, and both its territory and resources will expand throughout the game. This can be both a blessing and a curse. America's population tends to be rather small and spread out for its geographical area leaving each individual state with relatively few workers. Care must be taken not to have too many different industries in each state and instead focus each state on one or two industries to ensure all of them can benefit from economy of scale. At the very least factories should be built up to the economy of scale cap before building another of the same type in another state. Local bonuses should also be taken advantage of: Coal mining along the Appalachian Mountains, Whaling in New England, Logging in New England and California, Power Plants in New York and Grain farming in California and the Great Plains.

Attracting immigrants and investing heavily in a Health System will ensure rapid population growth and a steady stream of new workers. Many of America's states will have high migration attraction due to being sparsely populated, particularly those in the west. Make the migration attraction even higher by improving standard of living, raising the approval of the Intelligentsia and building the Statue of Liberty. America should focus on expanding its market throughout the western hemisphere not only to secure more customers and sources of Rubber but also to acquire a larger pool of potential immigrants. If America has Racial Segregation and Migration Controls this allows for almost all of the primary cultures in the western hemisphere to immigrate to America. It is also helpful to delay development of agriculture or at least leave some arable land unused in each state to absorb unemployed Pops and avoid the greatly reduced Migration Attraction that comes from them (Peasants do not penalize migration attraction).

America's resources are vast and varied but it is missing a few things, most notably Dye, Silk and Rubber. The lack of Dye and Silk hinders domestic production of Clothes, Luxury Clothes, Porcelain and Paper while Rubber will be needed for Electrics Industries and Automobiles. Dye and Silk can eventually be produced domestically through Synthetics Plants at the cost of Sulfur and Fertilizer, which America has plenty of. America is also not able to produce Coffee or Tea domestically, leaving Wine as the only domestic luxury drink. Producing Wine also comes at the cost of Fruit production. America should look to secure these resources through trade and market expansion.

America has a decent supply of Oil available domestically, but it won't be nearly enough to run every possible production method that requires it. Start with the products that absolutely require Oil to be made, namely Automobiles, Aeroplanes and Tanks. Then prioritize mines and Ports which are hard-capped in size. Production methods like Houseware Plastics should be low-priority; expanding Glassworks is always an option for increasing Glass production and by this stage of the game labor should not be an issue.

America starts with relatively liberal economic laws: Interventionism provides some investment funding from Capitalists while allowing all buildings to be subsidized, Per-Capita Taxation is a good source of early-game revenue and Protectionism allows the player to waive tariffs on desired trades while still being able to tariff undesirable trades. If the player does not care about subsidizing private buildings then Laissez-Faire will provide double the investment funding which can allow for much more economic growth. Meanwhile the extra Trade Capacity and Trade Route Competitiveness from Free Trade can come in handy in the mid to late game when increasing exports are necessary to keep growing the economy and the treasury isn't reliant on tariff income. Lastly Proportional Taxation will provide far more tax revenue than even Per-Capita Taxation as your GDP per capita increases.

Military

America starts with National Militia which allows for a large conscripted army but a small professional army due to capping Barracks at 5 levels per state. However despite this America can still field a surprisingly large professional army due to the sheer number of states it has. This should suffice for conquering northwestern Mexico. As such the player should not feel compelled to rush Professional Army as soon as possible, one can even hold out until Mass Conscription becomes available. America also has a large number of coastal states which allows for a large navy. America's core territory will ultimately cover five strategic regions, three of which have coastal access, so a minimum of five Generals and three Admirals will be necessary to manage America's entire military.

Notable officers to keep an eye out for include Ulysses (S) Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman and James Longstreet for their offense-boosting traits. Sherman in particular has some of the highest offense boosts available while Longstreet is good both on offense and excellent on defense. Robert (E) Lee and Thomas Jackson are particularly good defensive generals (assuming they didn't defect to the Confederate States).

The player should beware of building/expanding buildings especially military-related buildings in the Dixie region for as long as the Slavery Debate is ongoing as this is the region most likely to secede in the American Civil War and if so those buildings will be turned back against them. Conversely keeping these buildings out of the region can put the Confederate States at a major disadvantage in the civil war, especially if combined with convoy raiding to prevent imports.

Expansion

America's unique journal entries and decisions heavily encourage expanding west towards California, Oregon and Washington. This is already underway through colonization of the various Native American tribes. Manifest Destiny will give America claims on several Mexican-held territories, though not all of them: the player will also want to demand Mexican-held parts of Texas and Colorado and possibly Nebraska and Kansas if Mexico manages to colonize its way into those as well. Fortunately they won't cost much more infamy even without claims due to their relatively small size. The tricky part of course will be the Diplomatic Plays, which can be complicated by other Great Powers joining Mexico or simply Mexico backing down and giving you only one of your demands while also making you wait 5 years for another. Still you want to get ALL of this territory as it is necessary to complete the two Manifest Destiny journal entries and thus add Yankee/Dixie homelands to these states. If you do get your war it can be won relatively easily by having one or two generals advancing the front on your border with Mexico which should attract the attention of the entire Mexican army while sending a naval invasion to swiftly capture Mexico's capital. Getting the three states held by Canada/Columbia District is relatively simpler if somewhat RNG-based due to the mapping expeditions. Once its available though it should be as simple as clicking the decision and then Oregon, Washington and Idaho are yours complete with Yankee homelands. Be sure to incorporate all of these states after they've added Yankee and/or Dixie homelands, the primary culture homelands will make incorporation very fast (2 years) and cheap. All in all America's "core" territory will consist of 49 total states.

Alaska can be a worthwhile purchase thanks to its Gold Mines. The fishing bonus isn't huge but it's something. Be aware that it cannot gain homelands of any American primary cultures and the existing homelands have nothing in common with the same so it will take 20 years to incorporate.

There is no explicit incentive to conquer the Hawaiian Islands and they will take the longest possible time to incorporate (20 years) due to only having Hawaiian homeland which doesn't have anything in common with Yankee or Dixie, but it does have 48 Arable Land capable of growing Coffee and Tea and a 20% bonus to Agriculture throughput.

Unless one is explicitly attempting the "100 stars on the flag" achievement there is little reason to directly conquer more than the core territory, which is already expansive and rich in most resources.

Foreign Policy

America exists an ocean away from all of the other Great Powers and as such will rarely if ever directly compete with them for territory or resources. Even territories like Oregon and Alaska that America wants but are held by other Great Powers can be acquired through peaceful means. America is also hands-down the most powerful country in the western hemisphere and as such has relatively free reign of the region. America should seek to add as much of the western hemisphere to its market as possible, to secure exotic resources like Coffee, Dye, Fruit and eventually Rubber as well as to increase its customer base for manufactured goods and pool of potential immigrants. That said European powers will regularly declare interests in the western hemisphere and thus can interfere with America's aggressive actions, and America likely won't be equipped to deal with them until at least mid-game. Maintaining low infamy (below 25) and high relations with the other Great Powers will help ensure they do not interfere. On the other hand such powers are again an ocean away and will take time to arrive to a front, meaning if a war is quick then they may not arrive in time to make a meaningful difference.

Mexico will be an early enemy due to holding territory needed to achieve Manifest Destiny. After achieving Manifest Destiny relations with Mexico will be at rock-bottom but it is worth salvaging as they have valuable resources but will cost a lot of infamy to subjugate and add to the American Market through force making Customs Union the preferred way of adding them to the American Market.

Brazil is the other most valuable country in Central/South America, and like Mexico they will cost a lot of infamy to bring into the American Market through force so the diplomatic route is more recommended. This is complicated by the fact that three European powers share a land border with Brazil via small colonies while America doesn't which applies a -20 penalty to Brazil's acceptance of an American Customs Union. This can be rectified by first adding one of their neighbors to the market. Colombia is a prime target because one way or another America can gain a land border with them via Panama.

When building trade in preparations for a Customs Union most Central/South American countries can provide America with Coffee, Dye, Fruit and eventually Rubber while America in turn can provide manufactured goods like standard Clothes and Furniture. Avoid signing Defensive Pacts and/or Alliances with Central/South American countries as they are expensive to maintain and will provide little to no benefit. If the national budget allows it is worth Bankrolling these countries to aid their development and allow relations to increase up to Friendly, and if/when an Obligation is generated it can be used to get the country to accept a Customs Union significantly sooner than normal.

Colonies outside the western hemisphere such as in Africa are not strictly necessary especially if America succeeds in getting countries like Mexico and Brazil into its market. In fact African colonization can antagonize the European Great Powers.

Japan can be a worthwhile addition to the American Market for its Dye, Silk and Tea as well as large potential customer base and possibly immigrants as well if America has Multiculturalism or No Migration Controls. Forceful subjugation of Japan is out of the question as it costs more than 100 infamy which would instantly make America a Pariah so once again the diplomatic route is recommended. The first step is forcing them out of Isolationism, which may not even require a war if no Great Powers come to their aid. It may be worth colonizing Hokkaido early on to secure a land border and ease their integration into the American Market. Expanding the colony into Sakhalin is not recommended as Russia has a claim on that island. Alternatively a Treaty Port can also provide a land border, though this will require a second Diplomatic Play against Japan because it cannot be demanded until Japan has opened its market. Having a land border also eliminates the need for Japan to build a Port, which they don't always do of their own accord.

Indonesia is another region that has potential to be a valuable addition to the American Market with its Dye, Coffee, Tea, Fruit, Rubber, Oil and Gold. The island of Borneo is fragmented into several pathetically weak countries that, barring Great Power intervention, American can subjugate or conquer with little trouble. Conquering or subjugating at least one of the countries on the island will give the American Market a foothold from which diplomatic expansion can be pursued if desired, or just use the newfound land borders to continue conquering the rest of the island. It is worth noting that the Philippines have a land connection to Borneo via Sulu. The biggest prize in Indonesia though is the Dutch East Indies, primarily located on the islands of Sumatra and Java. They start as a Dominion of the Netherlands but tend to become independent one way or another during the game. Direct subjugation will cost over 70 infamy which is sure to provoke intervention from Great Powers and the infamy cost can even exceed 100 later in the game. An alternative strategy is to first conquer or subjugate Aceh or Siak to gain a land border with the Dutch East Indies, then Liberate them from the Netherlands (which costs no infamy). Once they're independent they can be added to the American Market through diplomatic means, a process that will be facilitated by the land border with the market via Aceh or Siak.

冷知識

America has two Liberal parties. The first is the Whig Party, which is replaced by the Republican Party as part of the American Civil War. However if the Civil War never happens then the Republican Party will never form and the Whig Party will remain as America's liberal party throughout the whole game.

Unlike the rest of the present day United States, America has no in-game incentive specifically related to the Hawaiian Islands despite having been acquired by the United States historically during the timeframe of Victoria 3 and being a full US state today.

It is possible for both the Confederate States of America and Free States of America to fully conquer the original America and then re-form America in their image.

Texas has an equivalent journal entry for Texan Statehood called Texan Independence, and in fact the latter journal entry is what actually governs the events whereas the American journal entry is purely informational.

The US Capitol building is a monument and is present on the map from the start of the game in the District of Columbia. For now it serves no functional purpose and is purely decoration.
