The United States of Transvaall, often abbreviated as USST, emerged following a tumultuous struggle for independence against British oppressors. This historic period is known as the "Transvaalli War of Independence" and is marked by several iconic battles, including the Battle of Johannesburg, the Battle of the Vaal River (also known as the Battle of Blood River), and the climactic Defense of Pretoria, which tragically claimed the lives of an estimated 70,000 to 120,000 individuals on both sides. After years of relentless conflict and heavy losses endured by all parties involved, the rebels ultimately triumphed. On September 3rd, 2022, at 1:20 pm, the people of Transvaall achieved their hard-fought independence.

With newfound sovereignty, the fledgling nation swiftly organized its inaugural elections, resulting in a victory for the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP), which assumed the reins of governance. The first elected president, Johannes Louie Benedict, wasted no time in initiating a series of far-reaching reforms encompassing economic, educational, and military sectors. These reforms aimed to distance Transvaall from the constitutional legacy of its former occupiers, paving the way for the creation of a unique national constitution.

Johannes Benedict, who had only held office for a few months, earned widespread admiration as the "Father of Transvaall" due to his unwavering commitment to the well-being of its citizens and the prosperity of the nation. Transvaall, under his leadership, is poised for a promising and vibrant future, as it forges its path as an independent and sovereign state.

The battle of Pretoria was the most important battle in the 4-way civil war and was the critical decider on the victor of the north of the Country as well as the last stronghold of the British Dictator Harry Charles Cracker.

A quote made from a survivor of the battle sums up how it was, "the air constantly smelt stale and bad, there wasnt enough graves or bodybags for the dead so they left them where they were, rats and maggots were a infestation among the buildings and streets, the constant heavy rain made it impossible to feel warm or comfortable, the constant sound of artillery and gun fire put all of us on edge and sleep was impossible to get, it was the closest thing to hell that humanity could get."
