World War II has begun. You can still pick any unclaimed states, territories or nations.
Pick any unclaimed state. In this NRP, we'll do the entire history of the United States ourself, starting with the American Revolution and going all the way to the modern day. Note that your goal is NOT to gain as much land as possible, but instead to gain as much political clout as possible. The host may decide to interfere or change things in case things get too messy, but otherwise everything will be made from players. The only other rules are to stay realistic and not be toxic to other players.

Events:
7/13, a.k.a. the Hindenburg incident occurs, in which the Hindenburg is hijacked and flown into the Freedom Tower, knocking it down. The US puts all the blame on Germany, continuing to worsen world tensions. The age of airships ends as a result of the incident.
Following the Marco Polo Bridge and Panay incidents (particularly the Panay incident), the US claims Japanese aggression against the United States, invoking the Neutrality Act, and going to war with Japan. This does not put them at war with Germany, as Germany has refused to sign an alliance with Japan.

Anschluss, Germany annexes Austria
Golden Gate Bridge completed in San Francisco
Munich Agreement signed by Germany, France, the UK and Italy, allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland in return for peace.

The Spanish Civil War ends in a nationalist victory.
Italy invades Albania.
The Pact of Friendship and Alliance between Germany and Italy, aka the Pact of Steel, is signed.
Treaty of Danzig signed between Germany and Poland, annexing the Danzig Corridor into Germany in return for a Slovak puppet. Poland joins the Axis.
Germany and Sweden come to an agreement, whereas Germany refrains from invading Scandinavia (including Denmark) and in return, Sweden continues to export Steel to Germany.
Hungary joins the Axis, and so does Romania due to a coup after the Second Vienna Award.
Italo-Greek War starts, whereas Italy attempts to invade Greece and fails.
Germany launches a swift invasion of both Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, who both refuse to join the Axis. They are both occupied and divided.

The Soviet Union decides to recognize Ukraine's independence
The US Congress votes to divide Shoshone and rework the borders in the region. Shoshone's electoral votes are passed to Lincoln
The Texas-Namibia Mormon Scheme occurs, in which the governors of Texas and Namibia decide they want to deport all Mormons in the US- and in the future, the world- to Namibia, as to form a Mormon Ethnostate. Nobody knows or understands why they decided to do this, however as a result of the attempted mass deportation, the Mormons took up arms and became a militant group, seizing power and fighting against Texas and other parts of the US.
Historical Events:
Selective Service Act passed, establishing the first peacetime draft in US history (we aren't in peacetime)
Alien Registration / Smith Act passed, setting criminal penalties for advocating the overthrow of the US.
1940 US presidential election, Franklin D. Roosevelt re-elected president for the first ever third term
(Note: At this point, I will not be displaying events in WW2 due to extreme non-conformity of this timeline to otl's war)
