The People's Temple were a far-leftist congregation which grew in San Francisco in the 1970s. After the Watergate Scandal the locals feared the U.S government, and retreated to Guyana, where they established the colony of Jonestown.

However in this timeline their radical preacher Jim Jones announces a crusade against the United States, sponsored by the Soviet Union.

The People's Temple of America, or P.T.A, is established in northwest United States. The United States recognized the P.T.A's sovereignty in 1974, shortly after the impeachment of President Nixon. The nation carved up western Washington and Oregon, and Northern California. Seattle would become the capital of the People's Temple.
