Atlantic Federation
The Atlantic Federation is the largest and most powerful member of the Earth
Alliance. Although allied against ZAFT, the Atlantic and Eurasian Federations
have long been rivals, and a strong undercurrent of mistrust remains between
them. The Atlantic Federation is a superstate successor of the United States of
America, and the Organization of American States which are comprised of what
once were Canada and Mexico (plus Great Britain and Ireland), and the islands in
the Gulf of Mexico. Its capital is Washington DC and its President still lives
and works at the White House.
The Atlantic Federation provides the largest segment of the Earth Alliance's
military, and pioneered the efforts to develop advanced mobile suits to counter
those of ZAFT. The Atlantic Federation also has broader and deeper
anti-Coordinator sentiment than the rest of the Alliance, and has been more
thoroughly infiltrated by Blue Cosmos. While the Atlantic Federation solidified
its position as the dominant force in the Earth Alliance with its large mobile
suits force which tried to hold the Alliance together, the heavy losses it
suffered in the final months of the war could provide the Eurasian Federation
the opportunity it has been waiting for to supersede them as the leaders of the
Alliance.
The Atlantic Federation attacked and annexed the United States of South America
in the pretense of fighting ZAFT during CE 70. After the cease-fire at Jachin
Due, however, the United States of South America rebelled against the Atlantic
Federation. The most prominent member of this rebellion was former Earth
Alliance ace Edward Harrelson, also known as "Ed the Ripper" . It gain Central
America after the Bloody Valentine War.
