A rightwing populist President quits the United Nations, dismantles all foreign bases across the globe and starts drastic cuts in government spending, 10 Trillion dollars. The U.S. influence abroad begins to quickly erode. Wallstreet becomes a game played only by billionaires. Civilian disturbances inside the country itself are cause for alarm as social services are eliminated, causing widespread riots and breakdown of social order in huge cities. The selective service is reinstituted. To provide purchasing power, the U.S. begins to sell off the gold bullion it holds. When that only decreases the purchasing power and political power of the federal government and several states, like Texas and California secede from the union, several other southern states join in. After a bitter one year struggle the secessionists begin to lose. The U.s. uses netron bombs on several military targets in the South. The war uses up all the funds to fight a war, unemployment explodes, civil strife throughout the country is rampant. The secessionist states call for international intervention both China and the Euro-Russian Alliance. A meeting held in Geneva at the new headquarters of the U.N. orders that the U.S. government stop attacking its citizens, stabilize their economy and return to world. The President who has banned elections on the Federal level until the fighting stops. Orders all foreignors to live the country. The U.S. seizes all money from foreign banks and shuts down Wall Street, claiming it undermined free enterprise. The situation becomes worse and the world unites to stabilize the U.S. itself.
In this scenario the U.S. are the bad guys at first, but fight the invaders as the war progresses.
