"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him."
Ever since the fall of Soviet Union in the Christmas of 1991, the United States of America has enjoyed total supremacy throughout the globe. Trade and its economy had been flourishing. Its military might seemed unchallenged, the world's enforcer, a Dirty Harry-like armed forces intent on keeping the wolves at bay. However, with the attacks and blemishes on the very identity of America in the likes of the September 11 attacks, the dubious Invasion of Iraq and the draining insurgency afterwards, the quagmire of Afghanistan and its eventual pull-out that mirrors the likes of Saigon Evacuation, the rise of the Red Dragon, the very ideas of Pax Americana had been tainted by its own misguided intent.
What was once a revered country built upon the ideas of hope, freedom and liberty, had already began to show cracks across its supremacy in the face of unending quagmires of the 21st century.
But the very ideas of which America had prided itself upon will endure the test of times, but this time, in a world alien to their own. In a strange event that would be immortalized in the annals of American history as the New Year Event, the United States of America forever disappeared from the face of the Earth, instead finding itself in a world of fantasy and wonder. In this new world, the United States of America had finally been given a chance to redeem itself by some mysterious cosmic powers.
In a world darkened by warring factions and atrocities, let it be the light of the ideas of which America had built itself upon be the sole shining beacon.
A more grounded take on the idea of the United States of America being summoned to an unknown, magical world. Loosely based on Nihonkoku Shoukan (Summoning Japan).
A soft-rewrite, or a spiritual successor if you may, that was originally written by a friend.
