Federal States of America

The Federal States of America, also known as the FSA, was a government in the Bionic Commando games.

Overview

They were a nation that was born frmo the political and economic crises of the United States of America in the early part of the 21st century. This turbulent form of concept led to the FSA taking a hardline approach to politics by putting libertarian values aside in order to maintain law and order. While it was a young government, it has had an eventful history which was primarily due to the Imperial Incident which occured a decade previously. This military faction sought to revive the fascism of the past by attacking several FSA cities. There were numerous rumors in those days which included the Imperials launching a massive floating air fortress as well as one that reported that they had found a way to revive the dead. The threat was eventually overcomed by the bionic commando Nathan Spencer.

After the end of that conflict, the issue of bionics became a controversial development. Many championed the technology after the success of it in defeating the Imperial threat and appealed for the release of it to the civilian use. However, many were fearful which potentially lead to ordinary humans becoming obsolete. The issue came to head when the President issued a directive which led to the deactivation of the controversial bionics program. This became known as the Bionic Purge and led to the Tactical Arms and Security Committee having its bionic program closed. Those operatives that had bionic augmentations were ordered to turn in their enhancements or have them forcibly removed. This tactic backfired and led to pro-bionic followers rioting as well as many of the TASCs bionic operatives fleeing rather then surrender their implants.

The FSA later suffered an attack on Ascension City from a group called BioReign.
