  • The Republic of New England (RNE) (often referred to as "New England") is a nation comprised of the six states that made up the former Region of New England in the Northeastern United States, and a seventh comprised of eastern New York counties won durring the RNE's brief war with the United States. When it was part of the United States, it was decidedly the most Liberal/Left-Wing areas in the country. It officially seceded from the United States on April 3, 1986, after years of rumors and debate of potential secessions. The United States recognized the country as independent in August of that year, after an attempted removal of power, which resulted in the cession of eight eastern New York counties to the RNE, which became it's own state "West Vermont", becoming the seventh New English state as mentioned above. The RNE's own secession inspired the secession of another region of the country: the western coast. The Republic of the Pacific seceded months after the RNE did, but faced much stronger resistance from the United States. The republic is famous for it's 1997 discovery of the hiding place of Osama bin Laden and his terrorist group Al Qaeda. It's believed that the information obtained by the RNE successfully prevented several major terrorist attacks which were being planned by bin Laden and Al Qaeda. New England is in no way related to the country of England in the nation of the United Kingdom, other than being a former colony. All colonial ties with England and the UK were cut, however, in 1783 following the American Revolution. The name "Republic of New England" refers to the name of the former American region. New England is well known around the world for its old traditions, folklore, and ghost stories. These are kept alive today in New England by its proud people, and are still a huge part of New English Culture. The biggest reminder of this is the New England Folklore Festival in Manchester, which takes place from December 1st to December 6th, every year.
