== Background ==
After the establishment of the American Authority in the Pacific States following the German Invasion of America in 1986, each state occupied (California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming) was turned into an autonomous confederation of states that each practiced the Heydrich Government's brand of Esoteric Nazism. The name for this confederation was the American Order, which was to have its government based in Sacramento.
