His government was a neo-feudal republic dictatorship controlling the former Northeastern United States including Michigan, Wisconsin, most of Virginia, New Jersey, as well as a small part of Canada. The Republic's military, the Monroe Militia, enforces strict laws against citizens owning firearms, which are often punished by death.
