The origins of this region date back to the 17th century with the founding of several English colonies in what would become Massachusetts. These colonies were populated by a group known as the Puritans, who were a religious dissident group in England that decried the immodesty of the Anglican Church. At a time when such views weren't viewed too kindly by the English government, this faction sought their own "city on a hill" away from the persecution and concern of the English establishment. The Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies were, in this context, founded. Massachusetts, however, would be quite religiously stringent and some settlers would find this policy flawed. For this, these settlers would be exiled and would found their own colonies ,such as ch as Rhode Island and Connecticut. The colony would expand in population, and for this it would also expand in size, at the expense of Native Americans. This growing deterioration of Colonist-Native relations would manifest itself in events like King Phillip's War and other colonial-native conflicts. While some Puritans found New England as a new home, others seized control of old England under the Parliamentarian faction in the English Civil War. This would result in some settlers believing that there was no need to create a religious haven in America when England could be that haven. This resulted in the region developing a strong mercantile economy to compensate for the exodus - a mercantile economy that would become central to the region. After the English Restoration, Charles II of England would take greater interest in the region and like he had done in Ireland, would seek to consolidate power in New England. To this end, he established the Dominion of New England, which would be governed by the soon-to-be detested Edmund Andros. This action resulted in unrest in of New England, and when Charles II would be ousted in the Glorious Revolution, the Dominion would be disestablished, and the colonies would be left alone. The Puritan theocracy of Massachusetts would reach a boiling point in the Salem Witch Trials, where mass public panic over witchcraft, coupled with a growing class divide in New England, manifested into a hysterical witch panic which would see theocracy turned on its head in Massachusetts. As New England would progress towards the Age of Enlightenment, a large transatlantic print culture would replace religious panic with rationalism in New England. As New England would develop, an East-West divide would form in the colony with wealthy merchant elites in the East and rural farmers in the West. However, New England eventually would be overall more representative in her electorate than England, and would develop an economy based on the exportation of refined and manufactured goods, usually sourced from other parts of the Americas. Boston eventually became the intellectual and economic center of the Colonies, and works of the Enlightenment would spread through the region. New England eventually shifted from traditional theocratic Congregationalism, due to the advances during the Scientific Revolution and the First Great Awakening. The colony also contributed to British military campaigns against Acadians in Nova Scotia and for Fortress Louisbourg in the War of the Austrian Succession. In response to the Seven Years War and the resulting British debt, New England would see taxes that the populace would soon come to detest. New England would be the site of the famous events preceding the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Battles of Lexington and Concord, Battles of Bunker and Breeds Hill, and the Intolerable Acts. While the region would see little relative military action after the British withdrawal preceding the Declaration of Independence, the region would boast many prominent Founding Fathers, such as John and Samuel Adams and John Hancock. After independence, the concerns of New England would be dominant in the politics of the Early United States, with Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire being the original New England States and Vermont shortly following. The New England region would become the center of the Federalist Bloc of the Early United States. New England had colonial elites more dependent on commerce in urban and coastal areas, as opposed to the landowning elites of Virginia or New York, and these urban elites were more represented by the Federalists than the Democratic-Republicans. New England was also in close proximity to British Canada, and the economic ties between these two regions made the pro-British Federalists more appealing than the pro-French Democratic Republicans. The latter sentiment would later manifest into discontent with the United States Declaration of War on Great Britain in 1812. A sense of alienation between New England and the Southern-dominated US government of the time culminated in the Hartford Convention, in which delegates from the New England States debated their shared dilemma and even considered secession, though this latter proposal never came to fruition. With the decline of the Federalists after the War of 1812, these sentiments died down in the Era of Good Feelings, and New England progressed through the 19th century as an American State. As the New England would proceed through the 19th century, it would slowly begin to lose its distinction among the United States. Greater immigration from other European nations, notably Ireland in the wake of the Irish Potato Famine, would erode New England’s homogeneity, as Congregationalism and even Protestantism would become less dominant in the region. The industrialization of other regions in the United States, such as the Mid-Atlantic and the Great Lakes, would mean that New England’s industry would also become less prevalent. As the United States would find slavery more contentious of an issue in the aftermath of the Second Great Awakening, New England would firmly find itself antislavery, with the New England states having abolished slavery shortly after American Independence. In the American Civil War, New England would remain in the Union and fight for the Union's cause. From the Civil War onward, the same general trends that would affect the United States would affect New England. There are some notable times when New England becomes prevalent in US History. For example, the maritime and still somewhat Anglo-Protestant nature of New England would make this region relatively pro-Entente, as there existed significant trade between New England and American ship-captains and the Entente powers and New England would have some connection to Great Britain. In the aftermath of the war, the Red Scare and issues of Interwar demobilization would see immigration panics, with the notable Sacco and Vanzetti case happening in Boston. While New England would lose its distinction, it would become an important part of the United States, with Boston remaining an important financial, trade, and cultural center. |

Threats[]
- The
United States would be your greatest threat as a player might want to take you back. - The above nation, along with Canada or Mexico, could try to form the North American Union.
Strategy[]
As a relatively small nation, New England does not generate many resources. It makes up for this with its enormous population, which allows access to large pools of tax and manpower. The nation, combined with careful planning economically and militarily can evolve into a superpower in mere years.
One strategy is rare but might work. First if a strong nation declares war on America and is already beginning to win, Ally the invading nation and ask to join the war. There America might not notice you as they will be busy fighting off the invader (Usually 
China, 
Brazil or the dominate European power) after claiming your share of land or ask for some extra land from the invader.
Early Game[]
After gaining control of New England, start by justifying on the nations of 
Liberia and 
Haiti. They may seem far, but with the. United States and Canada on your borders, the player does not have much of a choice. Unless they know what they are doing, the player should avoid war with the two nations as much as possible. Attempt to befriend other powerful nations in your region like 
Mexico, the 
United Kingdom, or maybe even the United States itself.
Military[]
After earning enough money, the player should begin to build a military. The player can use mostly infantry. But if they are willing to, they can construct a Steel Factory and a Motor Factory. An Electronics Factory is optional but is a great help when their products are sold, especially for building economies. The player should keep in mind to remember to buy resources, or they will not produce anything. Especially when considering New England only generates nothing but Iron.
After building their military to a manageable size, the player should declare war on the nations they selected and justified on earlier. A variety of strategies are exploitable to conserve manpower. These are strategies such as AI luring, entrenchment, flanking, artillery and so on.

Landing in Haiti, the player should consider conquering the neighboring nations. The Dominican Republic and Cuba are fairly weak countries, and their resources exploitable.
Near Liberia, the countries Sierra Leone and Guinea are resourceful and can aid in factory production.
