History of the Franchise
The Shattered Stars and Stripes Franchise started on the Alternate Future Wiki under the title of "Those Shattered Stars and Stripes", by user Ratc333. Ratc333 was a banned user on the MGW, but he used his Sockpuppet, MasherAntrex. to transwiki the game to here, dropping the  "Those" in the title. The Game began on August 24th, 2014, with 9 players. The game featured the 50 states plus foreign forces such as the UN, EU, China, Russia, and Mexico.Shortly after the start, Mash was banned and Edgeofnight took over as the head mod of the game. The game eventually had a small surge in popularity, peaking at roughly 13 players (At the time, that was the highest). As other map games came and went, popularity of the game rose and fell. It eventually ended on October 12th in a victory for New York, played by Edgeofnight. Claims for the second game went up, given the second game about 10 players to start with.

the Second Game stared on December 10th under the Title of Shattered Stars and Stripes Revised and got a surge of popularity, doubling the amount of users that initially calimed nations following the end of SSS. The game was noticeably different from the first. Foreign Nations where removed and a United States Remnant was added. The game fetured a redone Algorithm and had several mods at the start of the game, unlike the preivous game. The second game continued strong, ending once again in  a victory for New York, played once again by Edge. It ended on January 16th, 2015.

Although unofficial, many knew that  a sequel was coming. on January 7th, 2015, gamerunner Edgeofnight announced "Shattered Stars and Stripes 3". On January 14th, the full title, "Shattered Stars and Stripes: The New Deal" was announced and claims began. The game is still in the creation process.
