National Government Type: Republic/Confederacy

National History: The Native Americans have stopped the Americans! But, they really only stopped the American Government. Americans still came. Along with Mexicans, British settlers, and Runaway Slaves. They all agreed to live peacefully together, but unfortunately, conflicts arose. Many people wanted a place to sort out there differences. So eventually, the City of Louis. Named after a prominent American settlers wife, and like her, the city became beautiful.

Eventually, a country was formed. A mix between a Confederacy and a Republic. States were formed, and usually catered to one group, be it Americans, Natives, British, or Blacks. The country try's it's best to keep the groups unified, mostly to stay unified. It can be tense at times, but the country strives to be the example for a world divided by all kinds of boundaries.

Language: English Mostly, but the state with Natives also speak Native languages, however not as prominent as English.


National Culture: Very diverse to say the least. The Americans usually represent the one coming from the North, along with British Settlers from Canada pushing west. The Blacks are Southerners, ones who escaped the chains of slavery, helped by generous Northern Abolitionist. Of course, the Native Americans are diverse all on their own. View itself as a land of immigrants, and encourages it and having children for a booming population. Also a different view of Manifest Destiny of expanding to the Pacific. It's not official policy, or especially well known outside the personal circles of the people of the Federation like the US version, but it's there.

INFANTRY

Greatest Strengths: Know Land well at Home, Determined and at times Savage Guerrilla Fighters, Great shots growing and savvy with weapons growing up usually in the Country. Extremely determined.

Weakness: Lack of experience fighting a war.

RAIDERS.

Greatest Strengths: Units who fight with people they've know for a long time. Most Sharpshooters are Militiamen. Known for setting traps of dastardly proportions, ambushes. Don't follow normal conduct of warfare. Known to follow Indian tactics at times. Use Terroist tactics as well, also act as saboteurs.

Weakness: Less Organized, and Leadership is not as well trained. They also usually don't fight normally. They will go into regular formations, but don't follow the normal rules of war. Lack of compassion for Invaders, and will do what it takes. Also lack the amount of supplies, but usually don't need it.

CALVARY:


Strengths: Can serve as great distractions, lead the enemy into areas where ambush lay waiting. Experts on horse riding, and their way around a saber. Work as Good scouts, and tend to be familiar with areas they are working in. Very fast to reload.

Weakness: Less keen when it comes to dealing with soldiers who can get multiple volleys off at them. However, they are seen only when wanted to be seen normally.


ARTILLERY CREWS:

Strengths: Know their way of firing a cannons. Practiced for months before let into official service. Have ideas of where the best place in the country for Artillery placements are, and a knack for spotting good areas in foreign lands. Fast at getting Artillery ready to fire, and ready to flee.

Weakness: Forced to retreat if enemy soldiers get too close. Fast at packing up, but will abandon emplacements if necessary.


NAVY SAILORS:

Strengths: Former British citizens came with Navy skills, which they passed on to the Navy. The Leader of the Navy is a Former British sailor, so he is doing his best to get his sailors into shape, along with construction for the Navy.

Weakness: On the most part, aside from the British and some Americans, the Navy is being done by groups of people who never really did things regarding Naval issues, but realize it's importance.

MARINES:

Strengths: These soldiers are the first in. Can mobilize, and deploy the quickest, and usually followed by Militia. They work with the Navy and Balistics Corps the most, aiming to make a big splash before the Main Group, most notably the Army, show up. Do lots of raids, and tend to work in small groups, but very effective in Big ones. Also uses Indian Tactics at times. Only the best make it in, and training is made especially brutal to deal with possible threats at home, and abroad. Running is especially important. These soldiers don't march in battle, they run.


Weakness: Suffer from small Numbers, and usually get to combat zones weeks, if not months before the main force arrives, which can lead to straight out Gurrila Warfare, or types of Terroist actions on their part. Not the most honor bound section of the Military , but will show it when necessary.


Specialty: Land units are known for entrenching if defending, or finding Cover. Also hide, laying down in fields before incoming troops, and get up and fire volleys right in front of incoming forces. After firing, duck and run.

You can invade Oregon after your app is accepted, but you'll have to be quick about it!

Yes sir!

[Nuverikstan]

But we have goooold!

Your going to have something else once these Events are done..

First Calvinists, then ISIS, now Jacobins! Who doesn't defy my reign?

[Apror]

Asia is open! If fine, I'd like to make claims in Japan. Maybe China.

Yes sir!

Your Utah Class has waaay too many guns. 120 Guns would be of a First Rate, and a confederation of Natives and Settlers are not going to afford a First Rate, i only have two First Rates and they haven't even been built yet. A Fifth Rate would have around 44 guns, if you want heavy hitters get some Third Rates/

Alright. If I give the people what they want, will I, finally, get a good random event?

I don't have any Utah class up and running I think. They're just plans, ships we will build when we can. I'll check right now. I think I'm flipped ups side down on the rates. I thought faith Rate were the big boys, and 1st Rate the small one. I'll make the adjustments. As for the Confedration, we're a mix of a Federal and Confederate Government. The states have less power than in the Confederacy, but more than in the US. Same applies for the Federal Government. And we're not exactly a Native Group. We're mixed. Natives are our Second biggest group, next to whites. But they're divided between British and Americans. Next group is the Mexicans. Smallest are runaway slaves, but their not a terribly small group. Barely smaller than the Mexican population.

And we'll stay from China until this is cleaned up, however Japan does still have our eye. And if no one wants it, Hawaii.
