On the Creedonian subcontinent, north of North America(if earth were larger) The setting is from 1870-1912(The first "Creedonian era" is 1851-1856(The civil War. My grandfather was president) The second, and more prosperous era, was from 1881-1889(my father was president), and the third was from 1912-1920(I was president).
