No, the rest of the world is in space as well, under the UN flag.

Space War is Cold War.
Maybe Chinese money from Macau. The Chinese absolutely love to gamble.
You will be able to smoke.
Maybe the Japanese defeat China and rise again, they like gambling too.
Oh god, I hope not. They're far too serious. The Chinese are a lot more fun to gamble with.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I don't see the Second War of Independence as a doomsday war, Americans don't wreck the place.

It's more like the Revolution Tranquille in Quebec or the Arab Spring.

There's not that much shooting involved, the military refuses to fire on Americans, the military sides with the protestors. so the Globalsits are just tossed out of power by those means.

In terms of the fate of the PRC, I say that India and Japan gang up on them in a cold war and then the PRC collapses like the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile Europe goes fascist and is taken over by the Russians. Nazbols.

If you must have the Imperial Japanese Army in space can you at least keep them out of my nice waterfall casino megacity?

The Imperial Japanese in space are rapacious as they are on earth, the United States Space Force can't save the Limey's from themselves, USSF has its hands full defending Spacemerica.

But they've already destroyed the Prince of Wales and we've had our hands full with the latest Brexit extension.

I haven't really thought of what happens to Britannia.

Do they join the Nazbols on the continent? Become Switzerland at sea? Join the Americans?

It all hinges on which faction won the Brexit civil war.
The Parliamentarians or the populists.
