When the UCAS reformed itself into the Union, Angelson saw the opportunity to lay the groundwork for a place to provide the right stepping stones for strong, powerful American nation. So in 2071, he founded the Phoenix Institute, with the intent of doing so.
Although in the very initial stages it was only staffed by those of his generation, those who could remember a time before the Depression, recently, through the use of speeches uploaded to NewTube, the use of social media, and online blog publications, has come upon an upswell of youths with ambitions and aspirations of improving their homeland, and has garnered, while not major, considerable grassroots support among 20-somethings and younger. Likewise, with a youth's ability to popularize information among other young people, it is expected this support to increase exponentially. However, it is having less considerable success with those inbetween the pre-Depression and post-reformation generations, with them having lived in a time exclusively being exposed, and therefore accustomed, to the opposite of both generations' aspirations. However, a two-pronged assault: One from the wizened and experienced through essays and debate, the other from the energetic and plentiful through a cultural and memetic powerhouse, could seem to be a powerful combination.

Speaking in an explicit manner on policy, the Phoenix Institute cares only for the sake of the Union, and to enact policies benefiting it. This includes protectionism, increased military build-up, and a pseudo-isolationist policy of aggressively seeking its interests while also not entangling itself in the affairs of bloc's it has no interests in. Currently, it calls for a 'Reclamation of the Manifest', and retaking all the land the United States once used to preside over, as well as the general conquest of North America.
Likewise, it engages in a very nationalistic economic policy: Protectionism is the name of the game, as well as subsidies and a tax rate to encourage economic growth. It cares less about deficits and inflation, and more about the Union's protection from threats and whether or not the average Joe has a job.
