不结盟的美利坚合众国

The 不结盟诸邦 is a releasable state of the  美国. It only appears if the United States progresses down the Communist branch of its National Focus Tree and does not complete the National Focus "Guarantee the American Dream". In that case, the Unaligned States of America will appear as a neutral bloc in control of the entire midwestern United States and the Great Lakes region, including the Steel Belt (modern Rust Belt). They will be neutral and will not attack either side, and when the Second American Civil War ends, they will peacefully reunite with the winning side.

历史背景

The Unaligned States of America is a peculiar state, having a rather obscure historical basis even by HOI4 standards. While the  美利坚联盟国 is effectively a Liberal Democratic incarnation of the original Confederate States from the first American civil war, established in opposition of the growing communist movement in the United States, the Unaligned States of America has a much more obscure historical background.

The election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as President of the United States in 1932 alarmed many conservative businessmen, bankers and industrialists at the time, who believed that his New Deal program would lead to both reckless public spending, government overreach and also create fertile ground for socialist and communist movements to proliferate and grow out of control. These businessmen viewed any currency not backed by the Gold Standard (thus fiat currency) as inflationary and harmful to both private and public finances as well as putting America on the path to nationwide bankruptcy.

In response to this, between 1932 and 1934, a secret political conspiracy was developed, known today as the "Business Plot" or "Wall Street Putsch". In this plot, the conservative business establishment would engineer a coup d'état against Roosevelt's government, under the pretext that the president's health was failing (Roosevelt was indeed paralyzed from the waist down due to having contracted polio in 1921, so it was not an entirely implausible pretext). To facilitate this, the plotters would create a fascist veteran's organization and assemble and army of 500 000 men, with the former Bonus Army members at its core, to march on Washington D.C. To lead this army, the plotters attempted to recruit major general Smedley Butler, who had previously partaken in the Spanish-American War and the Banana Wars between 1898 and 1934 (the latter of which involved many US-sponsored coups against Central American countries) and encouraged the Bonus Army demonstration in 1932, which led to Roosevelt's election. Butler's good reputation and popularity was perceived to be vital for the success of the coup, and he was seen as "easier to manipulate" than other military leaders. Given a successful coup, Smedley Butler would have been installed into power in the newly created position of "Secretary of General Affairs", where he would wield near-absolute power while Roosevelt would have assumed a figurehead role. This would effectively have established him as a fascist, corporatist dictator and greatly expanded the power of Big Business in the United States. The plot, while discussed and considered, never came anywhere close to being put into action, and remained an obscure historical footnote.

In Hearts of Iron 4, however, should the United States progress down the communist branch of its focus tree, then with the growing support for the CPUSA and the increasingly socialist bent of the New Deal program, the American business establishment, with the situation becoming increasingly hostile to them and their private enterprises, decide to take action and put the Business Plot into motion, albeit only on the regional level, using a variation of the plot to seize control of the Midwest and the Great Lakes region and the Steel Belt. During the civil war, they will opportunistically sell weapons and equipment to both sides for profit, but will otherwise stay neutral. When the civil war ends, they will reunite with the winning side, either because they have succeeded in protecting their assets and the socialists were crushed (if the  美利坚联盟国 won the war), or because they realize the hopeless position they are in and decide to abandon the area and flee the country into exile (if the  美国 won the war).

不结盟的美利坚合众国 开局拥有以下国家精神：

科技

The Unaligned States starts the game with 2 Research slots. As a releasable nation, when released it will inherit all technologies that the releasing nation had already researched. It can gain two more Research slots from its focus tree, for a total of 4 Research slots.

政治

When released as a puppet, the Unaligned States will adopt whatever ideology its releasing overlord has. If released as an independent nation, the Unaligned States will be a 中立主义 nation with that holds elections every 4 years. When the Unaligned States spawn in as part of the civil war, they will be Non-Aligned.

策略与指南

Playing as the Unaligned States of America without cheats is difficult, but doable. Due to the nature of the game, the tag will only spawn when the  美国 begins its civil war, and when it does, it will immediately get a guarantee both from the  美国 and the  Confederated States of America. Firstly as the  美国, make sure to not complete the focus 保障美国梦 as that will prevent the Unaligned States from spawning. Usually by letting the Unaligned States remain neutral, it will get annexed to whichever side won the Second American Civil War and lose its core states. However, if as the  美国 you reject the neutrality block, it gets annexed and cored by the  Confederated States of America. By doing this, the Unaligned States will keeps its cores so if you were to defeat the Confederates, you can release yourself as the Unaligned States of America.

Since the Unaligned States is Non-Aligned, you can flip either fascist or communist and try to take over the  美国. The best way to do this is by first releasing yourself as the  Confederated States of America as they would still have its core states and then release yourself as the Unaligned States to make the  美国 weaker with less factories and manpower. I would recommend going after the Confederacy first as they are weaker with a lesser industry and lack divisions compared to the  美国. Then, the real fight against the  美国 starts as you essentially start the Third American Civil War. This will be quite difficult, but doable fight as the  美国 would be split between the west and the Northeast with the main objective being to capture the victory points from the North East as soon as possible while having another army to snake to California as the  美国 would have less cores which makes it more difficult to capitulate them. Now when you finally defeat them, unlike the  Confederated States of America, you will not be able to inherit the American national focus tree if you managed to annex the  美国 via the peace conference. From there, you are now the United States with less core states, manpower, factories and have to manage with resistance and compliance in all the states except the mid-west.
