Offical name: The Confederate States of America
Short name: The Confederacy
Local name: C.S.A
Other Names: C.S.A., Dixieland, The South, America
Official language(s): English
Other language(s): Spanish
Capital: Richmond, Virginia
Currency: The Dollar
National Animal: The Bald Eagle
Motto: "Under God, Our Vindicator"
National Anthem: Dixie
Government
(Head of State): President Jefferson Davis
(Head of Government): Alexander Stephens
Government: An authoritorian democracy consisting of a ten 'Southern States', the government of the CSA is split into a tricameral system with an Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branch. The president holds a vast amount of powers in political affairs, with the Senate and House of Representatives passing bills and laws for the President's approval. Each citizen in the Confederate States of America is required by law to vote in the presidential elections every four years, with severe consequences being imposed on those who refuse to share in their citizen duties.
Society
Ethnicities: Caucasian (80%), African American (16%), Hispanic (4%)
Religions: Southern Baptist, Episcopalian
Languages: English
Economy: Boasting a powerful economy second-to-none, the Confederate States of America is renown for its excellent agricultural base located in the southern-most regions of its territory, and is a major exporter of cotton, textiles, beef cattle, and corn throughout the world. Driven by the sweat and toil of negro slaves, thousands of corporate-managed plantations thrive with the help of slave labor, and turn out huge annual profits for the white elite. An exceptionally racist, proud, and bigoted society, Southerners are extremely proud of their relationship with the 19th Century "Confederate States of America" and see very little wrong with the current slave system in action.
Coloreds, along with slaves, are treated as second class citizens in the Confederate States of America, with harsh segregation laws being put into action by the overwhelmingly bigoted white elite. "Freedmen" are regularly discriminated in applications for government jobs and lack the right to vote. Previous race riots between blacks and whites have produced mutual hatred which spans more than two centuries, and have caused much distrust of blacks in the federal government.
Possessing a huge wealth of natural resources and an effective industrial base in the west, the C.S.A. is a powerful economic force to be reckoned with.
Political Leaders
- Jefferson Samuel Davis (D)
History
After the collapse of the United States of America (or United States of Robengrad) by the incompetence of former President George W. Bush, Senators from the six states of the 'old south' and parts of the west voted unanimously to succeed from the former "United States" of America, quickly laying down a swift series of political, judicial, and military reforms to combat the widespread social and economic problems plaguing the people of America.
After a brief two-month war in West Virginia between US forces, the USA and SSA officially signed a cease-fire which ended further hostilities between the two factions, signaling the beginning of an uneasy peace which lasts to this day. Slavery was rapidly legalized after massive black riots in the states of South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, and Georgia; with the majority of the black population forcibly being 'put down' by the Southern Army.
Intent on re-unifying America under the Southern Banner, the C.S.A. prepares for President Jefferson S. Davis's plan for a "Grand Crusade" into the Midwest, and looks forward to the horizon with great ambition. Quite recently, seven states have joined the "Confederate Flag" since succeeding from the now-defunct U.S.A.

Military
- Flag of the Confederate Armed Forces
Total Strength: 20,000,000 men
Active Strength: 2,200,000 men
Info: A massive and extremely well-funded military machine, the Confederate Armed Forces (C.F.A.) was created in the waning days of succession by the C.S.A.'s Congress out of the several successionist army corps which followed Davis's nation into open rebellion against the United States of America. Numbering about seven million men in total, the C.F.A. possesses nearly the exact same weapons and capabilites as their U.S.A. counterparts, with uniforms being the only major difference between the two different armed forces.

Clad in an urban grey camoflague scheme, the Confederate Forces greatly resemble their 19th Century ancestors in attitude and espirit de corps, knowing full well the victories their forefathers scored against the Yankee scum years back against overwhelming odds. Heavily armed, Confederate Soldiers are matched by view other foreign military personnel in terms of firepower and skill, with a lifetime of marksmanship training embedded into them by the strongly pro-gun society of the South.
Due to the extensive military training given to high ranking officers of the Confederate Armed Forces, the C.S.A. possesses some of the most capable logistics officers in the world and can easily coordinate military actions in the most efficient manner possible
Branches
C.S. National Guard
- The backbone of the Southern Defense Forces, the C.S. National Guard is an exceptionally well-equipped, trained, and motivated fighting force in America with a vast majority of all full-citizens serving in the National Guard due to their obligation as a citizen of the Confederate States of America. While the National Guard gladly accepts volunteers from any of the Southern States, the overwhelming majority of its personnel are conscripts serving compulsatory four-year terms upon reaching the age of twenty-three, later being relegated to a two-year 'reserve' status after the end of their active service.
C.S. Marine Corps
- Regarded as an 'Elite' branch of the Armed Services, Confederate Marines are among the most determined and loyal soldiers available to the C.S.A., with the Marine Corps only accepting volunteers of good moral standing with the laws of the Southern States of America. Well-trained with a minimum of six years per tour, Confederate Marines are extremely proud of their 'elite' status and will fight ferociously to see the 'Stars and Bars' of the Confederate Flag flying over their enemies at the end of the day.
C.S. Navy
- The pride and glory of Dixieland, the Navy is one of the most heavily funded areas of the Confederate Armed Forces, with the government shelling out huge amounts of dollars to maintain this all-important fighting arm. Operating the C.S.A.'s extremely vital carrier task groups, the Navy gives the Confederate States of America the ability to mount operations away from the mainland, and keep a sharp eye on the affairs going on in Europe.

101st Airborne Division
Motto - "Currahee!"
Info - Recognized as the only Division in the Confederate National Guard that always remains in a state of active readiness (ready to deploy around the world in seventy-two hours), the 101st Airborne Division is revered by friend and foe alike as an elite branch of the National Guard, on par with the quality of the C.S. Marines. Extremely flexible and operating from several military bases in Louisiana and the Balearic Islands (Spain), the 'Screaming Eagles' are combat-ready paratroopers equipped with some of the finest military hardware available to the C.S.A.
Noted for their "gung-ho" attitude and exceptional courage, the "sky soldiers" are an essential asset to American power, being the only Army division completely composed of volunteers.
Weapons
(As an special unit, the men of the 101st are naturally equipped with weapons suited to their task of airborne warfare)
- H&K 416 Assault Rifle (a significant improvement over the traditional M-16, the 416 is considered a superior weapon design and is slated to replace the M-16 in all branches of service within five years.)
- M14 Battle Rifle (a venerable design from the 50's, the M14 nevertheless has its place as a designated marksman rifle in the Southern Armed Forces, packing a heavy punch with its .308 cartridge.)
- H&K UMP 45 Submachine Gun
- H&K USP (Pistol)
- M60A4 (machine gun)
