The States that formed the New England Federation entered the Second Great Depression after having already removed most of the undesirables from their borders. Not to say they escaped the Depression and the other chaos unscathed, but they were more prepared for the chaos than most other places. And the Federation came out of the Depression richer and more powerful than most others. Federation clean reactors produced more energy than nearly any other nation, and Federation factories built most of the spaceships that carried America back to space, the Moon, and Mars and beyond. The Federation proclaimed itself A Better America for Better Americans and led America into the future as a space-faring nation.
