| — Description of forming Zion of America |
Zion of America is a large releasable formable for 
Deseret. It spans across both North America 
and South America 
, and partially in Oceania 
due to 
Hawaii, which makes it transcontinental. It requires all nations in North and South America.
Background[]
The concept of Zion of America originates from the early beliefs and aspirations of the Mormon movement during the 19th century. Emerging from the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, Mormonism, founded by Joseph Smith, envisioned a divinely guided society that would prepare for the Second Coming of Christ.
In the early 1830s, Smith declared Independence, Missouri, as the prophesied location for the "New Jerusalem" or Zion—a holy city where God's kingdom would be established on Earth. However, tensions between Mormon settlers and non-Mormon residents led to violent conflicts, forcing the Mormons to relocate multiple times.
After Joseph Smith's assassination in 1844, leadership passed to Brigham Young, who led the Mormons on a historic migration westward to the Great Basin. There, they sought to establish Deseret, a self-sufficient theocratic state spanning a vast portion of the western frontier. Despite their efforts, the U.S. government opposed their independent rule, leading to conflicts such as the Utah War (1857-1858). Over time, federal intervention and changing policies forced the Mormons to abandon their theocratic ambitions, eventually integrating into the U.S. political system.
The dream of Zion persisted in Mormon theology, influencing their communities, settlements, and religious doctrine. The vision of a Mormon-led nation in America remains a topic of historical discussion, reflecting the movement’s struggles, aspirations, and conflicts in the 19th century.

Geography[]
Zion of America would be by far the most geographically diverse nation in the game upon being formed. With the Andes Mountains in the 
Spanish-speaking portions, the Rocky Mountains in the Western 
United States, and the everlasting Arctic Winter of 
Canada, Zion of America would be one of the hardest nations to invade.
Terrain[]
North America[]
Greenland is Semi-Mountainous, while the Northernmost islands of Canada are Hilly. 
Alaska and some cities in Canada are mostly Mountainous, except for the Southernmost tip of Alaska, which is semi-mountainous. Canadian 
Cascadia, most of the inner parts of the Western United States, and the Northern half of 
Baja California are semi-mountainous. American Cascadia and 
California are hilly.
A bit inland from the East Coast of the U.S. is Hilly, along with parts of Central and Eastern 
Cuba. Most of 
Mexico is Semi-Mountainous, except for the coastal areas, which are mainly hilly. The area surrounding Mexico City is Mountainous. 
Central America and Hispaniola are diverse, however they mainly have semi-mountainous and hilly terrain. 
Puerto Rico is hilly. As islands, all of the minor island nations of the Caribbean are flat.
South America[]
Parts of Northern and Southern 
Venezuela are Hilly, aswell as a large portion of Southeastern 
Brazil. Almost the entire Western coast of the continent is Mountainous, except for a few areas in 
Colombia, 
Ecuador, 
Chile, or 
Argentina, which are mainly Semi-Mountainous and hilly.
Biome[]
Permanent[]
Arctic covers all of Greenland and Alaska, aswell as a huge portion of Northern Canada.
Arid covers most of Northern Mexico, the aforementioned Rocky Mountain region, Baja California, Northern Chile, and Western Argentina.
Jungle covers most of the non-city state parts of the Caribbean, aswell as the entirety of Central America, Southern Mexico, Colombia, and almost all of Northwestern Brazil and the Guiana region.
Seasonal[]
Parts of the Northern United States aswell as a fair bit of Canada below the Arctic Circle would experience Mild Winter in the early and late winter months. During the deep winter months however, this region would be replaced with Severe Winter, and Mild Winter would go even lower.
Cities[]
Zion of America has a total of 2173 cities, Its largest city is New York with 19.1 million population with Mexico city and São Paulo just trailing behind with a population of 19 million and 18.9 million.
Threats[]
Before being formed, almost every nation in South America or North America that is a player could be a threat. After being formed however, Zion of America would face close to no threats, seeing as it would be isolated in the two continents it occupies, aswell as be a threat that no other nation would want to face. However, it would still see minor threats (with the time that it would take to form it considered).
- Strong nations located in South America that are frequently players (ex.
Colombia, Brazil, or Argentina) - Strong nations located in North America that are frequently players (ex. the United States, or Mexico)
- African, Asian, European or even Oceania countries may interesting in the America continent. Especially European countries due to colonial formables.
