The next day, fourth of July, at 6:35 a.m., Amare boarded a hover-copter on his boat that took him to the airport in Hawaii. From the horizon of the Pacific he can see the sun was already rising. Within an hour he was in New York on another hover-copter taking him to the UN building.
Memories of his wife’s face, and the scent of their children’s hair, were on his mind when he adjusted the microphone in front of him.
Amare Nixon, with his honed instincts in public-speaking looked to his front, to his left, to his right, then to his front again, establishing eye contact with several significant individuals before addressing the assembly in the massive United Nations Hall.
The next few moments will forever change the course of human history.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the United Nations and the peoples of the world. It is with deep regret and with utmost chagrin that I present Resolution No. 1776 to this august body, declaring the dissolution of the United States of America as a sovereign nation. This presents our immediate withdrawal from the United Nations General Assembly, the Security Council, North American Treaty Organization, and the World Trade Organization. All of the details can be found in the contents and pages of the resolution, so questions need not be addressed. Thank you very much and may God bless us all.”
Amidst the deafening shouts, questions, and protestations of the assembly Amare Nixon stepped down from the podium and walked out of the hall never to return.
The Cable News Network would later broadcast a chronology of events that brought about U.N. Resolution 1776:

Economists, financial institutions and monetary boards all over the world present overwhelming evidence of the United States’ inability to pay off its international debt accumulated in the last one hundred years – $118 trillion. California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Texas and Washington. D.C., share the bulk of this debt.
June 29, 2088.

The respective governors and individual State Legislatures of Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee, Georgia demand international recognition from members of the United Nation. They declare that the money the other American states owe should not be their financial burden.
