The Carolina Republic
July 27th, 1937

Charleston, South Carolina

The American Civil War had shattered Charleston. What was once a thriving city and the most important economic center on the Southern part of the Atlantic had been reduced to just another generic port city. It came close to having a tourism based economy, but when the Carolinas seceded, they worked as hard as they could to revitalize the city. With federal support abundant, the city grew into a magnificent port once more, and reclaimed its title as the most important Southern port on the Eastern Seaboard. Today the Mayor of Charleston, esteemed member of the Carolina First Party, Burnet Maybank had gathered as many people as possible, and he began to speak from a grand podium. He was to give a speech to boost morale back home, in hopes to further increase support for the war and enlist more soldiers.

"I have gathered you all here not as South Carolinians, not as North Carolinians, not as Cubans. I have not gathered you here as Carolina Firsters, Swamp Foxes, not as Left Unionists. I have gathered you here all as Carolinians, living in this great nation of ours. We have made great strides in equal rights and economics, and our industrial has boomed. We are the freest nation in the South, and it is our God-given right to spread that freedom to oppressive, racist regimes like the one in this self proclaimed abomination calling it by the name of our ancestors. We will take all of it, we will take Atlanta, we will take Birmhingham. We will rebuild the fallen states of this racist monstrosity, and rise as the strongest industrial nation in the South! It is our destiny to grow and expand, to serve a greater purpose, to serve a bastion of Southern freedom!" He called out, raising one of his fists. He was one of the most popular politicians in South Carolina, and he would run for governor in the upcoming election without a doubt.

"There is not a doubt that we will win, not at all. Our vastly superior fleet has wiped the Confederate Navy off the face off the face of this Earth. We have cut off all naval capabilities of the CSA, and they are now more of a steaming pile of racist horse shit than ever before. But the war beyond this is on land, and to fight on land, we need soldiers to fight for us. We need bold men like the ones standing amongst us in the crowd to fight for us. All of the proud Carolinians who join the army will be remembered as what they were: bold heroes. Bold heroes who left the safety of home to go fight for the freedom of others, bold heroes who kicked those racist bastards in Leesburg all the way to hell. Bold heroes who fought in the largest North American battles seen on this continent since your ancestors in the War of Southern Secession, and bold heroes whose exploits will define a new cultural era in the Carolina Republic. You will not be forgotten, for you will leave a new nation in your wake. No longer shall we be just the Carolina Republic, but the heroes of this nation will ascend us to a higher state. They will ascend us to a greater future, a greater nation, a Greater Carolina!" He shouted boldly.

A large flag unfurled behind him, like the one the Carolinas currently used, but inverted, and with a new design in the canton.

"This flag, called the Greater Flag, will be a reflection of our new nation. One that respects its heritage, yet one that is willing to move on into the future. A new color scheme to reflect a new path in our future, a new path which will become the heritage of our descendants. The palmetto tree once stood for secession, the eight of a state to secede. We still allow this right, yet, it has not been relevant ever since we seceded. The palmetto tree now stands for the diversity of Carolinians. While some palmetto trees may be tall, maybe short, have many leaves, or have very few, they are all still palmetto trees. Regardless of their skin color, or their gender, all of us are Carolinians. This virtue will stick with us for all eternity, as will the nation known as Greater Carolina. May God bless every single one of us, and may God bless the war effort in the CSA!" He exclaimed. The crowd responded with thunderous applause, and he descended from the podium. The flag, and the official name of Greater Carolina would not be official just yet, but they would attract attention, and some day, they would represent the people of the Carolinas.

Millitary Affairs

Battle of the Golden Isles

- Confederate destroyers attempt to flee back to their home ports, and are intercepted by the Carolinian blockading forces off the Golden Isles of Georgia. Meanwhile, the forces that had been chasing them close in on them, and the remainder of the Confederate fleet is entirely encircled.

- The ships attempt to escape, but fail to do so. They decide to go out in a fire of glory instead of surrendering, and manage to damage one cruiser.

- The Confederate destroyers are quickly constricted and all cruisers and subs open fire, sinking the destroyers and destroying the Confederate fleet once and for all.

- The Carolinian forces move onto the areas surrounding the Confederate ports of Wentworth and Brunswick, and fire on them with everything they have.

- The military bases and industrial areas around them are devastated.

Total Casualty Count:
795 Confederate sailors killed
5,000 Confederate soldiers killed
7,000 Civilians killed
10,000 Civilians wounded

Final Results:

- Confederate Navy obliterated, Carolinian naval superiority guaranteed.

- Bombardment of coastal Confederate bases continues.

Operation Georgian Push: Part 1

- Carolinian forces from South Carolina continue the march towards Leesburg. They surround Atlanta but in a controversial move they do not take it. South Carolina's Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark insisted upon leaving it alone, and slowly starving it. He hopes that by the time they've taken the rest of the CSA, the soldiers will be greatly weakened and demoralized.

- Carolinian forces from Nassau County, Florida move into the adjacent Georgian counties and send the surviving forces on the run.

- Confederate remnants from the south-eastern tip of Georgia regroup with forces sent on the run by Carolina, but are soon pinned down in McIntosh County.

- Some Confederate forces manage to flee, however, 5,000 Confederate soldiers are captured.

15,000 Confederate soldiers injured
9,000 Carolinian soldiers killed
11,000 Carolinian soldiers injured
15,000 civilians killed

- The Georgian counties of Troup, Meriwether, Upson, Crawford, Bibb, Twiggs, Laurens, Dodge, Telfair, Wheeler, Montgomery, Toombs, Tattnall, Long, McIntosh, Glynn, Camden, and all Georgian counties north of them are taken, but Atlanta and the surrounding area are under Confederate control. The Georgian county of Charlton is taken as well.

To: The American Worker's Republic

From: The Federal Government of the Carolina Republic

We thank you for all of the help you have granted our nation, and hope that we may work together for future prosperity between ourselves. We suggest that to further our interaction, we have our citizens become more comfortable with our opposed ideologies by focusing on their similarities, such as an opposition to authoritarianism.

As for the planes sent to us, we would like to negotiate their true purchase so that we make keep them after the war. The Syndicalists are an industrial people, and their planes are proof of their engineering skill.

To: New Orleans

From: The Federal Government of the Carolina Republic

We would like to send weaponry and ammunition to the Union-First Revolutionaries stationed in Nebraska. We will be sending 1,000 Thompson machine guns, one million rounds of ammunition, and 500 M2 Grenades. Of course, we will pay the fees for shipping and handling.

Austin, Texas

(Texan President (on the right) with his VP)

"Well sir, I'm very pleased to inform you that the Federated States of Alleghena wants to improve relations with us." The Texan Vice President informed President O'Daniel. VP Johnathan handed the President the letter. The President raised an eyebrow, commenting "Regime seems a little off for how I'd describe our government, but I won't say anything of it."

He and the were actually very excited at he prospects of trading with the FSA. They had things like Steel, and it's knowledge. Sure they had Pueblo the "Pittsburgh of the west" but they had fucking Pittsburgh itself.

To: The FSA
From: The Republic of Texas

We are more than happy to help your country with a source of Petroleum and military advisers. We are humbled that you seek your assistance, and you would prove a great help to us. You speak of helping to fund us with your financial power. We would be very grateful for said help, as we are industrializing our country, and improving our steel industry, which you undoubtedly know very much about. We would in short, love to be trade partners. If not more in the future. We are open to FSA Buisness, and vice Versa. We look forward to future communications with you.

Sincerely, W. Lee O'Daniel, President of the Republic of Texas.

Topeka, Kansas

"Okay Gentlemen, Kansas is a relatively flat place, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have places to hide." He told to his Commanders in his army, along with supplied men of the SS. "Out friends here in the SS know quite a bit about these fuckers, but......that doesn't mean they're not hard opponents." He said as he paced back in forth in front of them.

A SS man coughed, straightening his tie before saying "That is correct sir, these people are pretty crafty. However, we know of and infiltrated three large groups. One seizing 2,500, one the seize of 1,100 and a final group numbering 500. We should eliminate these groups first." The man said to the room of men, who all nodded in agreement.

"Okay boys, we cut off these groups first. After that, we remeet to discuss the larger groups." Eisenhower said as they all begin to get up, salute the general, the go execute their tasks.

The Minutemen Insurrection

Location: All of F*fking Kansas, you f*cking c*nt.

-They all have Divebomber support.

-The SS gave them intel to help strike when most vulnerable.

-Using the cover of darkness, they launch their attacks on the different Minutemen groups.

-The Dive Bombers strike the groups, who are then closely followed by Texan Troops.

-Tanks, good for flat land, help decimate Enemy Numbers while Infantry also slaughtered many Minutemen, who were able to scramble together but unable to respond to the massive assaults.

Results:
-All engagements are over in one hour.
-The Three largest Minutemen groups are defeated.
-The Minutemen Died hard, but they are dead.
Casualties:
-Minutemen Killed 4,200

Fort Worth- The Texan Automotive Home

In Texas, there are 44 Motor factories in all of the Republic of Texas. 23 of those were in the city of Fort Worth. Yes, the city had become one of the inland industries hubs, a population of 200,000 supporting it.

Companies like the Texan Auto Company had drawn to the city, and 3 more plants were under construction in the city. It was becoming a bastion of industry itself, and its twin city Dallas was more generalized in its production for the masses.

The Texan Auto Industry was growing, as it took its Buisness where ever it could, and tended to settle domestic needs quite nicely. It was also increasingly important as the percentage of people in the Urban Areas of the Nation were balanced in Texas itself, and the increasing need for cars there.

There'd also be a need as people moved to more cities in Oklahoma, and people already were in Kansas. Especially to Witchita, the Kansas's largest city. It was no shocker it would need cars for its citizens as roads were being laid down connecting the nation. They also went to Nations such as Nebraska.

Every area had its Specialty, Houston made Ships and had oil, Pueblo mad Steel, Witichta made planes, the DFW area has Motors. It was a good thing going as they Nation continued it's path to industrial maturity.

Aircraft Production

With Witichita now helping, the production of Planes has gone to 25 a month in Texas. 10 Fighters, 5 Dive Bombers, 10 Bombers. Witchita was being connected with the Nation's resources, so that would help supply the manufactures there.

While Texas iron production hadn't been something to praise, with the rise in demand for Iron and Steel, more modern Iron plants had been constructed and Texas began to produce larger amounts of steel to help its Steel Industry, especially in towns such as Houston.

With these modern Iron Plants, production of Iron had made Texan iron a plus to the Texan Steel industry, and gave hope that Pueblo wouldn't have to bear the burnden alone when it came to Steel production.

La mafia sarà la mano guida dell'uomo meridionale ad un futuro glorioso!
Leesburg
July 28th,1936

President Vito Scalleta sat on the patio of the large multi leveled building,looking down with his pair of shades as truck after truck was loaded up with the various governmental and political documents that would enable the nation to run more smoothly in it's new location,Lee County Alabama. As he grabbed the pack of cuban cigars he cradled so carefully as if they were his children, a Government aide bothered him with the sixtieth question of the day.
"What is it Bart?"
"I have to report that which way should we fit the statue of David in?"
"Burn it, it's wood right?"
"No sir, made from the finest Marble, you'd mistake it for an original at first glance."
"Jackhammers it is then! I want to be able to snort it up my nose with that fine powder."
"Yes sir."
With that bother of the aide gone, another annoying soul approached him.
"Sir, we have seven rafts prepared, and who's going to hold the city?"
"We're abandoning it, I want all buildings rigged to explode as soon as they enter the city,by that time we'll be long gone, now get a move on, I'll be down there with my coat in a second!"
"Yes sir."
With that, several crates of explosives and TNT were picked up off of the trucks and rushed out on the small bikes and horses left as vehicles,rushing to each building and planting explosives. The process ran about in a loop of rushing soldiers,the occasional tripping Mary and the all too often occurrence of the explosives going off to early, shattering a building that had not been marked and had been under protection from the Mafia, but their word was as good as salt from a mine. When the last explosive was planted after a half hour of extensive Delays, Vito Scalleta gingerly picked a Wine Bottle from the shelf of the Cellar downstairs among a pile of dynamite.
"1886,good year, year I was alive I think. I should pair this with some nice Parmesan, no, Cheddar."
With a quick snap of his fingers, he grabbed the glass and poured himself a cup of the liquid,making his way up the wooden stairs and into one of the many trucks in the large convoy.
"Sir, are you ready to move, the demolition experts are at your order."
"It's a shame to destroy such good wine like this, but we can't have the Carolians get drunk from this stuff now can we, it's a waste of good wine eitherway. Push the plunger."
With a curt nod, the expert lowered his hands and the entire Italian Villa was sent tumbling down in a cloud of smoke and debris, with all the alcoholic goodness mere memories in his head.
"Good Memories."Vito thought.

Confederacy of Leeist Counties
Deorum in meridie Imperator Mundi caput erigere ad opus, quod factum est ad Lee praeses Confoederationis!
Yazoo City
July 28th,1936

The old government that had the several members meet in the town of Homer had been on the run from the advancing Carolinian forces, and so they were forced to seek shelter in another state, the Mississippi, the old hunting grounds that the forunner old lady had proclaimed as some people's Union in East Georgia, a week long experiment that resulted in no diplomatic recognition, the scrapings of a national bank with the currency being designed when they had to pack everything up, and a small military that proved incompetent and corrupt at keeping the nation's boarders safe, with a hefty bribe of an entire Glazed Ham to a fat Mayor of the local boarder town to let them pass and not radio a thing to Homer, which fell just as quickly. They were promised things would be different, and things sort of were, with a Radical Leeist replacing the chairwoman and a complete restructuring of the political system,all this while being on the run and nearly blown up by bursts of carolinan shellfire in the air, not too shabby of an achievement. They decided to move west, far west to the state that was rarely mentioned and rarely heard about in the CSA, Mississippi. As the exhausted and hobbled up group were thrown across the Mighty Mississippi and landed smack dab in Yazoo City, the took a look around and decided it was nice enough to stay in, and so their capital became Yazoo City.
"Death to the Mafia, Long Live Lee!"
A roar of cheers appeared from the crowd as Jackson Michael Lee appeared from the sidelines. He was not the Lee that had swayed millions under his thumb, but he was the Lee that will sway hundreds of thousands under his fingernail, so that was a start.
In front of them had been a vast portrait of the hated Mafia Boss, Vito which had been torn out of it's frame and used as the poor people's toilet paper, shitting yourself on the former government. Now in it's place sat a 20 foot Statue of Lee made from Granite that they had hauled over to the new spot and was to be dedicated. Lee lifted up his hand and a hushed noise fell over the entire crowd.

"Citizens of this new nation, I can say with Determination that our Destiny is sealed, we shall live on for a thousand years as the True Leeist government, come hell or high water,we shall make the nation better than it once was, these Mafia blokes, they threaten your children, curse in the streets and kidnap the young ladies of the night for their dirty works that the Bible openly condemns! I say Religion shall be a key component, as our former Father and now myself are devout followers of the Church of the South, I'd say we all can pray to the right wing gods of this earth, and condemn our enemies, wish them a thousand burning arrows on their corpses,on their armies and on their fleets to be set alight in the bounds of Holy Hell! The old system that replaced the old Butch with a rigged election has meant I must call upon Butch to become my Vice President once more, he accompanied us on this harrowing journey, with many of our comrades in arms lost,we shall build the South up again, in this here city.

I hear Vito's turning chicken and leaving, you hear that, leaving Leesburg! If our Holy Father was still here he would hold the city to the last man,not run away like a fucking, shitheaded coward that makes the first leader seem more competent than him, the first fucking leader! We have had our trials in the past, but we will get through them. I first order the Opening of the National Confederate Bank in this city, and I declare the establishment of a Post Office, the Departments of Leeism,Defense of the Leetherland,Leeist Justice and Peace,Leeist Treasury,Leeist Economics,Leeist Foreign Relations Leeist Agriculture,Leeist Manufacturing and Lee Loyalty Guards. I invite all of those Congressmen that fled, I think it was 12, 14, 14 was the number into the Legislative building in this city so that we may Draft and approve the Constitution. I would also like to say that elections between the Lee Union Party, the Military and Independents are to commence with a single debate between three candidates,their names are to be decided in the near future. I can say firmly that this new nation is shaping up nicely, Long Live the Confederacy of Leeist Counties, death to the Mafia fuckers!"

Outside of Texarkana
Linda threw a punch at Karl Matilda, the latter ducking as the heavy hand tossed her on the ground with a thud.
"You sonova Bitch, I thought you said this was Chicago!"
"It is Chicago, we just need to keep going this way and then we get the-"
A heavy fist stopped Karl's explanation cold in her tracks, tossing her on the ground as Linda began to bellow harshly and curse at her. The local scuffle had sure attracted the attention of the Texan police, and sure enough a cop car halted outside of the incident,with the cop, once a beer guzzuling drunkard smashing up windows for the hell of it and to eliminate the places his mother in law would nag him at or worse shoot him because of the five pennies he refused as a bribe to get rid of a parking ticket,now was a reformed member of society, with a big old handgun like a trusty dog to his side. When a scream was heard, the cop walked up and pointed the gun directly at the head of Linda.
"Dont' move, no need to resort to violence, ladies, you're in Texas."
"I told you, you, you..."
Before Linda could think of ripping apart Karl in a blinding rage, the sound of cold metal against her cranium brought her the facts that she could grab a date in heaven with hot .38 caliber lead if she tried to do anything stupid. With a long breath, she stopped moving.
"Now get up from the ground both of you, you're under arrest. I would read you your rights, but you look like foreigners in these here parts." He started to say as both women were soon in cuffs and loaded on the back of the Police Car, the door slamming shut with a thud.
As the car sped off into the sunset, a conversation began.
"Now why are you two in the middle of some town in Texas?"
"We lost our way, we're Chemical Scientists that specialize in the creation of Mustard Gas." The cop raised an eyebrow at the last part.
"Mustard gas?"
"Yes, we're from the Confeder-"
"Confederacy, you mean Lee's little shit show of invasion,D'ya here on the radio, some bitch's made a separate Lee cultist state,it's fucking ludicrous over there."
"Which is why we'd like to defect."
The Cop's eyes widened as he pulled over the car and got on the small radio.
"Dispatch, I have two people the President would like to talk to in person."

Austin, Texas

As the president sat in his office, sipping some Iced Tea, he didn't know what to think about this little incident. 2 Defecting Confederate Chemists? With extremely shitty navigational skills as well apparently......... he almost died laughing when the Mayor of Texarkana called him to inform him of the situation. It was quite..........preposterous but what could you do?

President O'Daniel smiled as he saw a car pull up, and two women got out......who appeared to be arguing, and one throwing fists at the other while a policeman tried keeping them apart.

Now, the President was definitely intrigued. "Gawd Damn, what kinda Chemist to the damn Confederates have? I mean, these two seem a little.......eccentric if nothing else." He said as he continued to sip his iced tea.

Eventually two women, along with his VP and a Police Officer walked in his office. He stood up, walking over extending his had. "Welcome y'all, I on behalf of good ole Texas welcome you." He said.

July 28, 1937

---

Jesus Christ himself appeared before President Gonzales on July 15th and had showed our great President multiple signs, one of them being visions of Crusaders wielding modern weaponry against a horde of leftist communists. After the vision, President Gonzales awoke in a sense of shock and a new found holiness entered him. Following the revelations from God (which the President has made secret, Congress had decided to alter the Mexican flag to reflect a more "Catholic" look, while still representing the seal of Mexico.

On July 25th, Congress passed the "Institution of Morals Act", which reinstated the Roman Catholic Faith as the official religion of Mexico. The act also repealed the law in the Constitution which prohibited the Mexican Government from granting titles of nobility. President Gonzales called the change in the Constitution necessary for the sanctity of Mexico and her people. Members of the House of Iturbide have been tracked down and are being brought to Mexico City to allegedly discuss proper integration of Catholicism into Mexico. The House of Habsburg Lorraine has contacted Mexico as well for the discussion of Catholic integration. The act also had non-religious elements too. The act also declared subsidies to the automotive and mining industries of Mexico. The Mexican government also has started investments into the agricultural sector as well. The act removed the travel ban on the nation states in the former United States, and also promoted trade with the Texan government and the Carolinian government, though it is not clear on how it will achieve it.

For the first time since our Revolution, the Mexican Congress has legalized the existence of multiple political parties, so long as they are not "communist, racist, genocidal, or Anti-Catholic, however the existence of Protestant parties will be tolerated so long as they do not attempt to change the official religion of Mexico". This was covered in the recently passed "Recognition of Opposing Views Act". The act stated that different political views are normal in a functioning society and can not be silenced. The act also allows citizens to participate in the voting process. The citizens are allowed to vote for their Senator. The senators they elect will then vote in the Chamber of Deputies. This act also defines a Presidential Term. A President can serve a single term of one decade. The Deputies and The Senators will be elected one week before the Presidential Election. Both Houses of Congress shall decide who is the President of Mexico. This act does not apply to President Gonzales. Both acts mentioned above have been written in and established into Mexico's Constitution.

Government officials have also has met with the CEO's of Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler to discuss the recent moves made by the government regarding subsidization into the automotive industry. Tariffs have been increased on all foreign-manufactured vehicles. This does not apply to the three companies mentioned above, or to any company which produces air crafts (especially those of war). The tariffs against these companies can be removed once they open plants in Mexico. The Mexican government also offers to invest into foreign aviation industries as well in exchange for air crafts. Mexican state scientists are also looking into the benefits of the coca plant and the marijuana plant as well, as there have been reports of its benefits, though they were all not based on facts. In other news, the Spanish Civil War proves to be hectic as the bodies rise. Will the madness end? Will our Catholic brothers perish against the communist hordes? You can end this madness, and volunteer for the Nationalists at your local Catholic Crusaders for Jesus base! They are usually near a Catholic Church. Ask your local priest for more details. Bring your own weapons.

To: The Texan Department of Commerce
From: The Secretariat of Commerce of the United Mexican States
Greetings. We would like to congratulate your great nation on their recent advances into the Oklahoma region and that landmass above it. We have heard that the city of Wichita contains a rather large aircraft manufacturing industry, though we were not sure on investing there due to the instability in nearby locations. However we have heard that the city is under Texan control, so it is safe to say that the fears we had are put to rest. Previously, both of our respective nations signed a deal to promote commerce and friendly relations. To show that Mexico is committed to this deal, we would like to invest in the Wichita aircraft manufacturing industries. We would also like the Texan government to consider creating a joint stock mining corporation with the Mexican government which will operate freely within the the states and territories of both Mexico and Texas, however we can discuss this later. We hope you accept our request, and we eagerly await your response, comrade.

Yucatan Territory
July 28th, 1936


Merida, Yucatán

The Governor's Office of Yucatan was bustling with activity as parades filled the streets of Merida. Mexican flags were burned en masse, and blindfolded children repeatedly smacked pinãtas of Mexican heroes until they burst, revealing the candy inside. All of the Mexican flags had been lowered days before, and instead of disposing of them properly, they gave them to protestors, who burned them in defiance of the federal government. Though they were not an independent nation, Yucatán was on a path to achieving grater autonomy than they ever had while under the control of Mexico's federal government. The Carolinas had granted them a gift of autonomy, and they were going to rrpay them with their loyalty.

Working with local politicians, the federal government managed to write a simple document detailing the status of Yucatán, which would later be replaced with a more proper constitution once they achieved confederated status.
Equality was guaranteed under it, which the politicians of Carolina First reluctantly agreed to fear of a repeat of the Caste Wars.

Legal rights of the Yucatán Territory

The Federal Government of the Carolina Republic herby declares the Yucatan territory an incorporated territory. The terms of such status are stated below.

1.) The Mexican states on the geographical area called the Yucatan peninsula are to become one single legal entity, the Yucatán Territory.

2.) Yucatan and its people have full equality in the standards of race and gender, and legal discrimination by the territorial government is illegal.

3.) Yucatan and its people may vote for a governor or any other local position below governor. However, they do not have the right to vote for any representatives to the Federal Government of the Carolina Republic. They do not have any electoral votes, and they may not partake in voting for any federal office.

4.) Yucatan and its people have the right to pass any laws for the territory that do not contradict the Constitution of the Federal Government of the Carolina Republic.

5.) Yucatan and its people have the right to interact with and recognize sovereign nations to trade with them and establish good relations. However, they do not have the right to join in any legally binding alliances with other nations, or are they allowed any form of integration with other nations.

6.) Yucatan and its people will be able to vote for status as a confederate state of the Carolina Republic when the majority of Congress votes to allow it.

The first law passed into motion by the territorial government would be to ban any and all immigrants from Mexico from entering the country. This law was passed almost unanimously, and the federal government did not intervene once it was passed. Another law was passed to create a 10ft tall electrical fence and a 10ft tall stone wall across the Mexican-Yucatán border, patrolled by 1,000 armed police. It is to be a symbolism of the separation of the two countries, while also deterring any illegal immigrants from crossing the border. It will also provide jobs for many of the poorer people of Yucatán.

As a mostly Spanish speaking region entering a English country, it was clear to both the territorial and federal governments that Yucatán would need to be a bilingual state. There were multiple ways that this could be pursued, and both governments worked together to determine what could be done. On the territorial level, legislation was just barely passed to make sure that Yucatánian schools taught English as a secondary language, so that all grades from first and beyond would learn it. Spanish was still the primary language, however, English was taught in its own class. Adults would be paid to learn English and granted tax breaks, and classes would be free to those who wanted to learn it. Though many older conservatives opposed it, younger liberals supported it so that they could earn more money, and get more tax breaks. Many poor people supported it as well, as they were also looking for a new income. The federal government, meanwhile, promised any English speaking immigrants into the country $60 dollars along with tax breaks. This spouted controversy as while, but thankfully, no blood was shed over it.

Meanwhile, with relations with Mesico severed, Yucatán decided that they would need another ally beyond the federal government of Carolina. They looked to their old time friend, Texas.

Telegrams

To: The Greater Texas Republic

From: The Territorial Government of Yucatán

Back in the 1840s, Texas and the Yucatán enjoyed bountiful relations. You helped us gained independence, and helped us create a nationalist identity for ourselves. We strengthened our alliance in a time of need, and both worked together to fight off the oppressive, centralist Mexican government. Our people worked together and sung songs of freedom and prosperity together, until you were admitted as a state in the USA.

We couldn't survive for much longer without you, and we soon had to surrender ourselves to Mexico.

But times have changed, and it seemed you have learned the error of your ways. You have left your Union to become an independent nation, a wise choice, we believe. Though we do not rely on you any more for survival, and our autonomy had been guaranteed by another country we grant our loyalty to, we would like to rebuild relations with you. We would like to rebuild the embassies in Merida and Austin, and put them to work once more to show our cooperation and desire to work together with another state that broke away from Mexico. We would also like to start up trade once more, and though we lack industry, we produce some of the best henequen and chicle in North America, and we would be glad to trade with you once more.

Today my friends, I would like to propose a meeting in the humble city of Austin over a Pact, once of defense and Economic interests. A Commonwealth if you will, and it will prove an alliance that's fundemental for our betterment.

The world is full of uncertainty, and having allies is the best course of action when it comes to facing such tribulations. Therefore I invite all here to come to a meeting between our nations to discuss this alliance.

We'd all benefit Economically, and Military wise. We'd be the strongest entity on the North American continent if all here decide to attend. I await your response.

As the Insurrection dragged on, and more people died, the SS was hard at work trying to connect the dots between the groups. They also used local intel, getting peopl to rat the a Minutemen out, which would be followed quickly by Military raids on their outposts.

It was a dreary process, one that's lead to quite a bit of damag. The Raids have also been getting really annoying, which has lead to 24 hour watches in some cases. Either way, the rebels had to be put down.

(President Veronica Pfeiffer after mediating deal with Congress)

Alleghania means BUSINESS!
Today, the Pfeiffer Administration and the Congress passed several acts on economic policy aimed at securing the Federacy's financial independence, aswell as a few acts concerning the military and cultural matters. President Pfeiffer called for the organization of a native Alleghanian automobile company to compete with the "Big Three", and end the nation's reliance on foreign cars. Pfeiffer has also mentioned plans to expand the FSA's naval capabilities, but she declined to specify what her exact plans were.

Cuba
State of The Carolina Republic
July 28th, 1937

Havana, Cuba
Governor's Palace

Batista read to headline of the Havana Inquirer which was held in his hands 'Carolinian forces surrounded Atlanta: Tarheel Spearhead Obliterates CSA defenses'. "So the war goes well then" Said Batista to the only other man in the room General Jesús Sosa Blanco, head of the Cuban regional military.

"Yes, you could say that." Replied Blanco removing the cigar from his mouth "I think you might enjoy the story on the next page as well."

Batista turned to the next page of the paper and read

The Hero of A company: Havana Local saves unit.

War always has its heroes and its bastards and the current war against the CSA is no different. Havana born Private Julio Ramirez joined the army at the age of 18 and now four years later he is set to soon receive the highest Cuban military honor of the Cuban Cross. A company which Private Ramirez was part took a front line roll in the push towards Atlanta. Supported by a M2 light tank, A company was making its way though a patch of forest when the tank was knocked out by Anti Tank gun and the company was pinned down by machine gun fire. With their armor knocked out and under heavy fire, it looked to be the end for A company as any attempt to attack or escape would be met with a hail of bullets. As the rest of his squad tried to take cover and rescue the crew now trapped inside their tank, Ramirez began a long and slow 50 yard crawl towards the machine gun nest armed with only a M1911 pistol and his standard issue knife.

What would happen inside the nest next is something Ramirez has asked not to talk about but the 6 soldiers that manned the nest and anti tank gun would all be dead within the next few minutes. Through his actions, he saved his company and has distinguished himself as a true patriot.

A smile creeped across Batista's face as he read the story. "You were right, I did enjoy that story. This young private has shown true Cuban spirit. See to it that he receives a promotion and I would like to personally present the Cuban cross to Private Ramirez." spoke Batista

"Of course Governor." replied Blanco "I already began making the arrangements as I thought you would like to personally present the medal. Now other matters Governor. We have sent 10,000 men from the our regional forces to supplement the Federal army, have we had any communications from the Federals with additional requests?."

"No nothing. We have sent them a fourth of our forces. I doubt the federals would want us to send more instead of using them to protect the resources of the islands. Speaking of our natural resources, it seems we have been have attract several investors for a new weapons company. Several of them are formerly part of colt and Winchester and want to open a factory so close to the raw materials we produce. They wish for the Cuban militia to be one of the first customers."

Blanco placed his fingers to his chin "I see. I am willing to see their work but would first need to see the designs and prototypes prior to any approval. It is good news though Governor. Until Next time.

"Until Next time."

The Regional Government Hereby enacts the following policies

-The Government of Cuba has approved additional trade relaxations allowing for the sugarcane farms to export up to 70% of their product up from the prior 50%

-The Government of Cuba approved various industrial subsidies aimed at industrializing Cuba to shorten the distance between raw material and the factories where it is processed

Nebraskan National Guard machine gunner fires at Idahoan forces

Idaho-Wyoming Border

The order was given, after much time of preparing the order from high command was given to the Wyoming and Nebraskan National Guards though many were confused when high command went silent for quite some time. With the first actions of the invasion being the take off of the Nebraskan National Air Guard, they managed to bomb positions at Fremont, Teton, Madison, Bonneville, Caribou, Bear Lake, Franklin, and Bannock using the information their spies have managed to retrieve. Then the push began, the small garrison of only 1,000 Idahoan soldiers weakened from the initial bombing were forced to retreat as Nebraskan and Wyoming artillery and men descended upon them, though many surrendered or joined the invading forces forming their own Free Idaho Brigade due to their disliking of the Idaho government and want for reunification. As well as the push on the front lines behind the lines USIB spies were inciting protests, riots, and factory strikes to force the Idahoan government and military command to stretch their resources.

Initial casualties and gains in the American-Idahoan war of reunification

These counties of Idaho have been taken: Fremont, Teton, Madison, Bear Lake, Franklin, Bonneville, and Bannock

These counties of Idaho have been partially taken: Clark, Jefferson, Bingham, and Oneida

Casualties of Idaho: 136 killed, 320 wounded, 450 surrendered/defected

Casualties of Nebraska: 116 killed, 265 wounded, 8 biplane fighters due to malfunction or shot down

Union-First Revolutionaries in the National Guard move through a destroyed building

Lincoln, Nebraska, United States

The once peaceful city of Lincoln was now that of blood, rubble, and war. Bullets flew from building to building as the once united Union-First party broke apart into their respective factions, the Union-First Loyalists those that wish to continue to bring back the old United States with the Federal Government having more power to make decisions. On the other side the Union-First Revolutionaries those that see the old United States as a failed concept of the past and that the only way to survive is to not restore the old United States but to create a new nation based off the United States. There was also the a group that stayed neutral and waited to join the victor of the power struggle.

Not only was Lincoln a battleground but so were the other two major cities of Nebraska, Omaha and North Plate. As well as small clashes between the two in the countryside though it would seem that the Union-First Revolutionaries had the upper hand due to having more support in the National Guard and army who are more trained and experienced than that of the Nebraskan minutemen, the Revolutionaries already declaring victory over the Loyalists though fighting continued and the United States were no more, but the creation of the Allied States of America was made and telegrams were sent all over to many nations stating the creation of the new nation from the ashes of the old United States.

[Commonwealth of Hank the Cat]

Virginia

Imperial Palace

Alex Davis I sat in the opulent, lavishly decorated dinner hall of the Imperial Palace, as well-dressed servers brought in food for the consumption of the Virginian generals, bishops, and other religious and state figures, as the dinner hall was soon filled with the deafening talking between the invitees discussing politics and how Virginia should move forward.

"Send support! End the CSA!" yelled a local priest.

"No! Build up! We must modernize!" yelled a military advisor tasked with building tank for Virginia.

The talking continued, until all eyes were on Alex Davis I, who has slammed his fist on the table, after silently reading a letter from Texas.

Alex Davis put his hands on the table and took a formal pose on the chair. "I have been informed that Texas has invited a Virginian diplomat to I believe, hold on, let me check...ah, yes, Austin, in order to join a organization called the Commonwealth. According to the letter, the Commonwealth is a alliance of southern-I mean, I suppose nations that generally share our interests."

It took about a minute for the various dignitaries to begin arguing again, bored at the concept of foreign nations and alliance, only caring about Virginia and the controversial decision to accept minorities in the military, and it was recently coming to there attention that minorities were being allowed to political positions as well. Davis sighed and gave a hand-signal to his aide. His aide went out into the hallway, soon followed by Davis, quietly leaving and leaving the invitees to argue. In the hallway, both men faced eachother. "I'm sorry for that, sir. I know you were hoping for a change." Davis responded, shaking his head. "It's fine. I don't need them. But still, tell me. Have you prepared a diplomat to go to Texas?" The aide nodded "Yes, sir. Actually, we've got a inner-city Black to be the diplomat. He is a recent addition to the diplomat corps."

The aide added quickly. "You said we have to make appearances. Scott McKaiten thought you wanted something to represent the new laws." Davis responded just as quickly. "You're sure he's good for the job?"

A voice rang out from behind Davis. "Man, you bet yo as-oh, wait. I can't say something like that. Yo' Majesty, I can do it. I was selected fo' my dip-lo-mat-ic ingenuity. Yeah!"

Davis turned to face the man. "What is your name?"

The man responded cheerfully. "My names Tyrone Freeman, baby!"

Davis tried to hide his own disappointment at the shallowness of the diplomatic corps choice. "It's good to meet you, uh, Mr. Tyrone. I assume your plane has been prepped for travel to Texas?"

Tyrone nodded. "You know it, baby! And look at my uniform! This is the new diplomatic corps uniform!" Tyrone put his hands on the linen of his uniform and pulled it out, and showed it to Davis. Davis nodded that the uniform was quite literally a white cassock with a name plate that had "TYRONE FREEMAN VIRGINIAN AMBASSADOR TO TEXAS" shoved roughly into the small rectangle shape. "You like it, baby? We up in the show fo' the po'!"

Davis nodded and tried to put on a face of approval. "I like it. I like the name plate, specifically. It gives a sense of refinement that a ambassador should carry. I'll talk to you later, you should go the plane."

Tyrone smiled "You're right, baby!" and walked off to the plane, which was, according to Davis's aide, going to fly in 10 minutes. Davis was surprised how rushed the diplomatic corps seemed to be, and made a mental note to talk to his diplomatic advisor. Davis spoke to his aide. "I hope you're happy." His aide responded. "That's what you said, sir." Davis spoke. "When I say "we need to make appearances", I mean we actually need to make a appearance. It's almost like you people in charge of deciding this kind of stuff want to mock people like Tyrone. You're making us into a joke."

"Oh, because you care so much about the minorities, don't you?" Scott Mckaiten walked up wearing a similar uniform to Tyrone. "Give me a break. You wanted to make a statement, so I made a statement." Davis responded defensibly "I do! Anyone can serve God." Scott laughed slightly "Yes, they can serve you in the military. At the very least, just be honest. You just want more people in the military. You don't care about the color. Don't insult me by acting as though you're some kind of ardent abolitionist."

Davis flicked his wrist, trying to ignore Scott's statements. "I don't care. What do you want?" Scott took out a letter and gave to him. Davis, upon looking at it, saw the fleur-de-lis, and quickly put it in his pocket.

Davis looked at both men. "I need to read this letter in my office with my top officers. I'll talk to you later." Davis walked off quickly, leaving his aide and Mckaiten to walk off into the dining room where the offcials were rambling about Richmond's infrastructure and how to improve it.

Today my friends, I would like to propose a meeting in the humble city of Austin over a Pact, once of defense and Economic interests. A Commonwealth if you will, and it will prove an alliance that's fundemental for our betterment.

The world is full of uncertainty, and having allies is the best course of action when it comes to facing such tribulations. Therefore I invite all here to come to a meeting between our nations to discuss this alliance.

We'd all benefit Economically, and Military wise. We'd be the strongest entity on the North American continent if all here decide to attend. I await your response.

Sincerely, the President of the Greater Republic of Texas

To: The Greater Republic of Texas

The Mexican government is interested in this so called alliance that you speak of. Ambassador Enrique Iglesias shall attend the meeting representing the United Mexican States. We look forward with working with you and with members of the alliance.

From: The Secretariat of Foreign Affairs of The United Mexican States

Oaxaca City was a beautiful city in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. With Zapotec and colonial era structures, the city looked like somebody tossed a bunch of buildings from different time periods and placed them together into a single location. And that looked majestic. More importantly, Oaxaca is home to some of the largest opposition parties in Mexico. The Socialist New Age Party, the National Crusader Party (Radical Catholic Party which supports the implementation of a monarch and expanding into Central America), The National Mexican party (referred to as the Sombrero Nationalist Front due to them being charros and vaqueros), The Falange United Front, The Hapsburg Monarchist Party (very recent, but it has an abnormal amount of funding from some unknown aristocrats of European origin), The Panhispanic Liberation Front (founded by Mexican expats in Buenos Aires and received funding by the Mexican government for a short time before the Great Depression hit), The Catholic Democratic Party, and many more parties and fronts based themselves in the city. And on this day, many political leaders gathered at one bar.

"The President is full of himself, selling three whole states because a bunch of indigenous ooga boogas scare him? And not to some respectable country either, but to some fucking pretentious wannabe Europeans! How long until he sells more states to some wannabe empire?" the man at the bar growled. He had a sombrero on his head, and on it was the words "Never Forgot The Yucatan".

"Calm your milk jugs, kid. The nature spirits shall guide us!" quipped a skinny lad in large spectacles. he sported dreads and had some strange tattoos. Crystals of different shades hung to his belt, and he reeked of cat piss.

"Who the hell are you?" the sombrero nationalist asked angrily.

"I'm a New Age man, you cretin! We are real men who are gonna change the WORLD! Borders are a social construct made by the man to prevent enlightenment dude! Your lucky my chakras are at peace, or I'd send your ass to the shadow realms, retard!" the hip lad said.

The hip lad continued to talk, but everyone ignored him, for real issues other than "the balance of chakras" existed in Mexico.

"Listen, we can live without those ooga boogas, no point getting them back. Now, gentlemen, I suggest we be smart and draw up alliances now. I know some men in the military and reports say that even the Secretary of National Defense is getting tired of Gonzales's shit. And if the telegram I received from the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs proves to be authentic, Mexico is gonna get into a lot of foreign business. The defense of Catholicism in Mexico and promotion of businesses in Mexico are two of the most important issues we must face. Gonzales might like to say the Great Depression never touched us, but quite frankly it shoved itself into our rears and we are choosing to ignore it rather than to take action." a commanding voice boomed.

It seemed to come from the back of the bar and originated from a lone man sitting in a booth. His clothes had a simple yet elegant look to them, and he had a regal aura of sorts. It was a Hapsburg Monarchist Party representative. It would explain the elegance and the power. But, a man like him never sits with this kind of company. Why was he here?

"Now, you smelly old bastards need to learn that the republics aren't as great as they claim to be. Monarchies have existed since the dawn of man, and the system works. It doesn't require killing mildly affluent and innovative people, nor does it require extermination of lesser races. It just requires respect. And the church can provide that respect. I'm going against my boss's orders here, but I was selected to serve the interests of my boss by any means necessary. If you want real morals and a real empire, the Monarchist Coalition is interested in your ideas. I'll be in my suite. If you are remotely intelligent, you'll know which one. Also, our beloved President will 'commit suicide' soon, so prepare your wallets and think about what I said because time is running out!" the representative said.

As he walked out, the rest of the party leaders could only stare in wonder as the man's crude words seemed to plant themselves into their heads. This was the beginning of a new revolution, and even the New Age lad could feel it coming.

Shipyards of California

From the higher naval echelons, there were plans to expand the fleet. Unlike other fleets however, this fleet was taking to the construction of destroyers, submarines, and escort carriers.

Escort carriers the hand under design, however, were able to be produced in higher volumes. Most of these constructions taking place at Mare Island Naval Shipyard and the new Kaiser and Betchel Shipyards

The soldiers only knowing what was in front of them and not knowing what has been happening on the home front of the coup and power struggle continue to struggle on against the armies of Idaho, though the same problems continue to affect Idaho of sabotage and defections. The ASIB (Allied States Intelligence Bureau) continuing its operations behind the lines even managing to begin open rebellion in cities near the front line getting civilians armed and fighting back against their Idahoan oppressors. The flames of war from below as well as above as the few planes that are in the air shoot at each other hoping to send the other spiraling towards the ground, though the tactical bombings of Idahoan positions have been running smoothly thanks to 30 of the Martin B-10s having been shifted to the Idahoan front line.

Friedhelm Steiner, the provisional military dictator of the Reich.

The Kaiserreich, 1937

In the gloomy city once called Detroit, soldiers donning the Pickelhaube escorted a group of Nazi POWs. Imperial flags were risen across the city, and the imposing Imperial Troops march through the streets. The new "Quarter Master" Steiner was elected as provisional military dictator at a giant public ceremony. The old NSDAP Direktor Hans Bergler commited suicide while incarcerated. The rest of the Nazi officials were interrogated and then were imprisoned. The recent war cought the Nazis off guard, and they flung all their troops at the enemy with little tactics, leaving their factories to be easily taken by the Monarchists. It had been 4 months since the Revolt and the new government closed all of the concentration camps and prisons. Steiner had all what he deemed to himself as disloyal, dangerous, or traitorous military leaders and politicians secretly assassinated. The populace had been mostly converted to the Monarchist ideology, after suffering and submitting to harsh Nazi rule. Steiner wanted more factories, more tanks, more planes, and more soldiers. The Reich went into mass recruitment of all able bodied men starting at the age of 19. Men already that had jobs in the large industrial sector were mostly spared recruitment in order to keep production at a fast rate. New uniforms for soldiers were issued, and the American Nazi Reich was transformed into the Kaiserreich.

Heavily decoded and secret telegrams were sent to major Monarchist leaders in Europe. The most secure telegrams were sent to Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the former Crown Prince Wilhelm. The Royal Family said to the Nazis that they were going on vacation to South America, but this was a ploy. The plane made a detour and landed in America. Gargantuan parades were held for the Kaiser's arrival, which lasted for weeks. Steiner stepped down from his dictator role and made the Kaiser the monarch of the Reich. A grand Prussian style Palace was built in Detroit, and the Royal Family moved in. Many Austrian citizens of the Reich were ecstatic to see the Hapsburg royal family arrive in the Reich, and Otto Hapsburg was made ruler of Neues Osterreich, a sizable state within the Reich. While the public paraded and rejoiced, Steiner had already begun the invasion of Dakota.

Imperial Stuka Divebombers bombed Fargo, Frontier, and Harwood, cities in North Dakota. Newly constructed Railguns, which were designed after the old Imperial German Pais Guns, opened fire on Fargo from their position in Moorhead. An army of 230,000 men stood ready at the border, but did not attack. The Railway Guns and the Heinkel bombers would continued to bombard Fargo, North Dakota's most important city. The Invasion had begun.

[The Palmetto]

Boundary County
August 1st, 1937

Boundary County, Idaho

The invasion of Idaho and had thrown the backwards, agricultural nation into chaos almost as soon as it began. Federal troops rushed to the border to vainly fight the incoming American forces, and many oppressed political groups rose once more in fhe chaos. All of these small rebellions were crushed rather easily, are absorbed into the Allied States of America before they could do anything. Yet, the Idaho county of Boundary held a referendum to secede, with the populace voting 97% to secede. The very few local pro-federalist forces simply left, and Boundary was left to its own devices. The county itself was known for its radical libertarian ideas, so of course, it would form a libertarian nation, with a government as small as the nation itself.

President David Christopher was standing at the County Council Office in Bonners Ferry, Boundary County, which was to become the new home of the government. The crowd was so large that one fifth of the small country must have been there, and the President himself would have to shout to be heard.

"All of the men and woman here would agree that the protection of our liberties is paramount, that escape from the oppressive government was a must. Yet, many of you would argue that we can not survive due to our small size. We will be gobbled up by Canada, the incoming invaders, or maybe even Washington. But, I contest this. Our great ancestors from Europe had many wonderful city-states of their which persisted for centuries, and the modern day San Marino is one of the oldest republics in existence. Size does not matter, it is the determination of the people that does. We are all determined to create a nation free of taxes, free of pointless regulations, and with more freedoms than any Founding Father could ever imagine. The government of our new nation will only be used for diplomatic relations with other governments, and to protect our country and maintain an organized militia. We will declare our nation is to be called the Free Republic of Gadsden, after the flag our ancestors first flew in rebellion against the British. It bore the words "Don't tread on me", which are words everyone in this fine nation can believe in. Gadsden is to be a nation created by the people, to be created for the people, and to protect the people! You are the ones who control Gadsden, not myself, and not any other crooked politician. Gadsden will last a thousand years, and never lose an inch of its prized land! Long live Gadsden!" President David Christopher exclaimed, as a gold and blue flag with a snake on it was raised over the County Council Office. He would go on to speak to various journalists and explain our the republic was to work, and later, he would release the official Constitution of the Free Republic of Gadsden. It provided full equality between all races and genders, legalized all marriages, and provided complete and total economic freedom. Very few things were banned as long as they did not harm others, though of course, ideas such as slavery, theft, and murder were to be made illegal.

The President himself would stay true to his promise of the government engaging in diplomacy, and he began to write the most important letter of the Free Republic of Gadsden. It would secure its recognition, and start the first series of diplomatic relations

We merely wish to be left in peace to live as we wish, and are willing to negotiate the recognition of our nation by yours and others. We hope that you recognize our sovereignty, and that you remain open to negotiations.

Your friend and ally, President David Christopher.

To: Kaiserreich, The Republic of Greater Texas, The Republic of California, The United States of Mexico, The Republic of Washington/Alaska

From: The Free Republic of Gadsden

We of Gadsden are a free and sovereign people, with a small government of our own for our microstate. We look to you all as potential friends and allies, and would look to kindle a fire of friendship between our nations. We have several small silver mines that you may find interest in, and at the same time, we are open to foreign investment on your own terms. We have no business regulations or taxes, and would be a paradise for those looking to invest in foreign markets. We would also be interested in the purchase of weaponry from your nations, at a reasonable price.

Our ideology embraces maximum freedoms, and though we understand that such large nations as yourselves have too much land to control to allow it, we ask that you consider an approach to economics and regulations to where it is determined by the people, and does not needlessly oppress them. Perhaps you may encounter groups like us, and we could only hope you would embrace them with open arms.

Your friend and ally, President David Christopher.

August 2nd, 1937

Military Affairs

Operation Georgian Push: Part 2

- Confederate forces converge in Randolph County, Georgia in attempt to hold onto it and create a safe route for soldiers to flee to Alabama.

- Carolinian soldiers under the control of Brigadier General Mark W. Clark intercept several large clusters of soldiers attempting to flee to Alabama, but their refusal to surrender results in their eradication.

- Carolinian soldiers manage to cleave the Confederate forces in Randolph in two, and take down both one at a time.

- Two battalions of Confederate soldiers manage to escape to Alabama, but the rest are killed.

- With the remaining Confederate forces in Georgia being restricted to just two cities, Carolinian forces manage to secure all of Georgia except for the cities of Leesburg and Atlanta

Casualty Counts:
25,000 Carolinian soldiers killed
13,000 Carolinian soldiers injured
35,000 Confederate soldiers killed
17,000 Confederate soldiers injured
40,000 Confederate citizens killed

Final Result:

- All of Georgia, minus Atlanta and Leesburg, is placed under Carolinian occupation.

Four weeks later

Battle of Leesburg

- The second most gifted Confederate general is put in control of Atlanta, and the city is heavily fortified long before the Carolinan Armed Forces manage to cut it off from the rest of the CSA.

- General Mark W. Clark's forces surround the cities and guarantee that Leesburg will receive no Confederate relief. From there, they begin to fire on the city with artillery rounds while also strategically bombing it.

- After learning that the forces in the city refuse to ever surrender, General Clark realizes that the only way to take it is by force. 50,000 Carolinian forces move into the city from all sides, and fire at all soldiers and civilians which come at them.

- The forces of Leesburg use guerrilla tactics and bloody full on assaults, causing massive casualties on both sides.

- After three weeks of fighting, all Confederate soldiers in Atlanta are either killed or forced to evacuate, lest they be shot.

Casualty Counts:
28,000 Carolinian soldiers dead
12,000 Carolinian soldiers wounded
42,000 Confederate soldiers dead
1,500 Confederate soldiers wounded
67,000 Confederate civilians killed
89,000 Confederate civilians injured

Final Results:

- Leesburg is taken by Carolinian forces, meaning that Atlanta will remain the only Confederate occupied territory in Georgia.

Domestic Affairs

One week later

The Carolina-First party had pushed strongly for a war with the CSA, and they had gotten what they had desired. The states of Georgia and Alabama were to soon fall under total Carolinian control, and they would be annexed. The members of Carolina First desired to unite as much of the south under one flag as possible, and the annexation of these two states put them a step forward to that goal. No one would admit it because of how its name had been tattered by the modern CSA, but more than a few Carolinians wanted to recreate the original Confederate States of America.

But for now, the new status of the two states was conflicted. Because of their confederated model, there only territory in the Carolina Republic was that of confederated, semi-sovereign states. It was well agreed that the territories could not be immediately admitted as states, as they were too unstable and disloyal. But it wasn't known if the states were to be controlled by the federal government with a limited territorial government, or to be controlled by other states. Yucatán was administered by the former, but with such a smaller population, cultural differences, and geographical location meant that the Carolinian nationalists had little concern over the control of it.

To debate the manner of control of the two territories, Carolina-First politicians had arranged for a debate to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina. Many people were gathered inside a large building, while two politicians stood on a stage. It was a well-lot stage, and a large Carolina flag was being hung from the ceiling, along with the three state flags. Well-known celebrity Matt Lee would be the monitor of the debate, and the two debaters would be John Davis and David Johnston.

"I'm Matt Lee, and this is the Carolina-First Debate Studio. I'll be the supervisor of this debate, which is over the status of the soon to be annexed Confederate states of Georgia and Alabama. You will both have five minutes to explain your starting points. John Davis, you have the floor," Matt Lee said.

"Thank you, sir. The confederated system of government is by no means perfect, but it is the best one out there. But a supposed flaw that many people have pointed out is that it makes expansion difficult, for the territories would supposedly have to be under federal control in order to have effective management. This is the system the former United States of America used, but I see no reason for it. The Thirteen Colonies of old would set aside land for each to annex, and though they made the mistake of allowing them to become states, I do not support that. Instead, I propose that we use the model the Colonies used, giving each state a chunk of conquered land. The state governments can choose what territory goes to who," John Davis set forward. He was a proud North Carolinian, and though he wanted his state to remain the confederacy or states that formed the Carolina Republic, he also wanted it to grow larger and more powerful.

He would go on for four more minutes, before his time would end. He ended his statement just a few seconds before the time was up, and a relatively quiet buzzer would ring.
"Your time is up, Mr. Davis. Mr. Johnston now has the floor," Matt Lee said.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee. I understand that this nation was founded against the ideals of a federation, but I see no issues with allowing the federal government temporary control of thse territories. After a few years, once the region is stabilized and we have the loyalty of the people, we can add them as states. The decisions of the federal government of Carolina can be nullified by the states, after all, meaning that any attempt by them to what what we, the people, do not desire will be overturned. With the ongoing war, federation vs. confederation has become a pressing debate, and I assure you all that I am not federalist. I merely wish for the creation of a new Southern Confederacy, where all of the Southern states of America are equal. We shouldn't have states dominating other states, but instead, we should have states working side by side to succeed where our ancestors in the 1860s did not," Davis Johnston added. He would never say it publicly, of course, but Davis had some Neo-Confederate tendencies. Greater Carolina was not enough for him, he wanted a Greater Confederacy. To him, slavery in the Civil War didn't matter, and the North was no better than the South, as far as morals go.

He continued to speak on for several minutes as well, before his time ended.
"Your time is up, Mr. Johnston. Thank you both for your introductions, gentlemen. The debate will go on break now, where you can take your time to purchase Pepsi-Cola from our proud sponsor, Pepsi-Cola!" Matt Lee told the crowd, before the debate went on break. Regardless of this debate, Carolina would expand for the first time in almost a decade, and this wouldn't be the last time.

Prime Ministers Estate, Boston, Massachusetts, Free New England Republic

Internal Affairs

It was yet another day for Prime Minister Henry James Curley, of course, this meant anxiety and slight panic. The Syndicalists, Newne Yorkers, and Canadians all threatened the existence of the Northeastern bastion of democracy known as New England. He was in his office filling out paperwork and deciding on who to send to the meeting in Austin to discuss the creation of an American "Commonwealth". He did have several individuals in mind at this time. Just a few minutes later the phone on his desk rang, he picked it up and heard the panicked voice of his top General Elrick Arkson

<Elrick Arkson> Sir! You must leave Boston immediately!

<James Curley> Calm down, what seems to be the issue, general?

James could hear Elrick Arkson slam a fist against a wall

<Elrick Arkson> THE MILITARY IS STAGING A COUP!!!

<James Curley> WHAT??? That's impossible! There were no signs of a possible military takeover!

<Elrick Arkson> Sir, you must leave. A safe area has been prepared for you in Albany to wait for my forces to arrive and stop the coup. They've already seized Parliament so stay away from there... Oh god...

A gunshot followed by the sound of a body hitting the floor is heard on the other side of the phone

<James Curley> General? General?! Do you read me?!

The Prime minister slams the phone down and starts franticly looking around the room. He begins stuffing documents and personal items into a suitcase and grabs his hat and coat. He turns to the door to make his way out to catch the first possible cab to the train station, hopefully he wouldn't be seen and recognized.

This idea was trampled once he heard the sound of heavy boots running up the stairs leading to his office. He turned around hoping to escape out the window, once he looked outside he saw at least 8 tanks sitting outside the building with a full platoon of soldiers out there as well. The boots reached the top of the stairs and smashed the door in, 3 soldiers and a military leader entered the room. James Curley could tell right away that it was a general judging by his badges and uniform. The startled prime minister realized it was 4 star general Tasker H Bliss who was leading the coup.

<Tusker H Bliss> On your knees... Sir...

<James Curley> Well, I see you're sticking with the formalities

The prime minister sinks to his knees as the 3 soldiers point their rifles at him, one goes around and places the end of his gun against James Curley's neck

<Tusker H Bliss> The military has decided that you are no longer fit to lead this country, as of today I as well as my colleagues will be taking control of the government.

<James Curley> I kind of figured, may I ask why?

<Tusker H Bliss> You aren't really in a position to ask questions, but I suppose I can enlighten you. The Free Republic of New England can not remain stable as a democracy, it would make a Fascist, Communist, Syndicalist, or even Nazi takeover almost guaranteed. The military will be able to keep the nation stable, and the population prosperous.

<James Curley> I don't know, seems kind of bogus to me

<Tusker H Bliss> You're opinion is irrelevant, for no one in the general public will ever get to hear in. Private, shoot him

<James Curley> Wait... What?

The soldier behind the PM shoots a bullet point blank into the Prime Minsters head, killing him instantaneously.

[Commonwealth of Hank the Cat]

Richmond, Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

Dressed in a fairly benign white suit, in comparison to the overblown uniform he wore most of the time, Alex Davis II, "Emperor of all the South" walked slowly into the empty Cathedral. The entire cathedral was dark. It looked like a fog. He wondered if God himself was trying to send a message.

Davis looked over at the confession booth, and slowly walked towards it. He hesitated, but went inside and sat down on the left booth. As he waited, alone, having left his bodyguards outside of the Cathedral, he soon heard footsteps coming from within the Church. He did not react, and simply awaited the man.

It felt as though the world was slowed as Davis focused on hearing the footsteps, awaiting the moment. The bishop stepped inside the confession booth and sat down. Davis could hear the bishop trying to see a outline of a figure (while not looking directly at them) through the right side of the middle confessional, trying to see the outline through the latticed window. Davis sat still, and did not say anything. Davis could hear the bishop looking to his left, and he awaited the bishop to notice him and begin. The bishop made a slight cough, signifying he noticed Davis. Davis wondered if the Bishop knew who he was.

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Davis said, stoic.

"Confess your sins, my son."

"Ambitions, father. I have committed many sins for my ambitions of power."

"Go on, my son."

Davis hesitated.

"Father, my ambitions will cost the lives on thousands of millions of Americans. No matter what what state they pledge loyalty to, they are Americans, and they will die."

"And why, my son, will they die, and why do they need to die?"

"They do not need to die, Father. But they will. Father, my ambitions will ensure that these people die in order to secure Virginia. But I am not here to ramble, Father. Let me explain."

Davis could see the Bishop nod slightly.

"I plan to kill everyone who is a syndicalist or otherwise is someone who threatens us."

The bishop did not respond.

"Tomorrow, Virginian forces will pledge their loyalty to the cause of destroying the Syndicalist menace. They will march through the streets of Richmond and all Syndicalists, Marxists, or otherwise leftists will be dragged out and crucified. A massive fire will be held in the square and all the leftists will be thrown in it. The leader of the Virginian People's Party will be beheaded by a guillotine. This will enrage marxist miners in West Virginia, but the governor of West Virginia is a wise man and has ensured that the miners are respected and cared for. There are few there. God's Marines will ensure that any who start rabble-rousing will be "removed" at night. They have already prepared a list of the few who will most likely start rabble-rousing. The rest will be too afraid to act. Virginia itself will be purged of all leftist elements. I assume you have heard of the program of watching your neighbor. We caught the leader and more or less the vast majority of the VPP through that program."

The bishop did not respond. but he nodded slowly.

"This is only the beginning. As you know, we have begin a massive entrenchment campaign on the borders with the AWR. We cannot strike the AWR, but we can defend ourselves. Artillery by the dozen has been moved to these borders. We also have begin fortifying the border with other syndicalist nations. Our mountains will defend us from those. This is the beginning of a new era. And thousands and thousands of innocents will die."

Davis looked up towards of the door of the confessional. "And for the things I will do, willing or unwilling during this conflict, I ask for forgiveness from God. There is a good chance Virginia will be in ruins. None of this will be televised, of course. Perhaps nothing will happen, but that is a fool's thought. What I am going to do tomorrow is nothing but a speck in this greater conflict. Maybe no one will notice."

"So, father. I ask for forgiveness."

The bishop was silent. It felt like a lifetime before he responded, his tone resigned and stoic.

"You are forgiven."

Davis nodded. "Thank you, father." Davis slowly got up, and left the cathedral.

Ada, Capital of the Idahoan Government


the long and horrid war against Idaho is finally over, after a long bombarding from bombers and ground artillery as well as the numerous defections, strikes, and rebellions led to the complete collapse of the Idahoan front line which paved a clear and easy march to the capital Ada. When the Allied States National Guard entered the city they were met with cheers and welcomeness from the people, they called the Guard "their hero" and "the liberators" showing just how bad Idaho was with their own people. The flag of the once Republic of Idaho was taken down and replaced with that of the Allied States of America, people cheered and hugged each other as they saw the flag fly, they knew that the war was over.

Treaty of Ada.

The Allied States of America hereby enforce these demands.

1.The Republic of Idaho is hereby void
2.The complete annexation of all of Idaho excluding Boundary county and Bonner County
3.The Allied State government assumes position of governance.
4.The independence of Gadsden is hereby secured and given the county of Bonner as well as under the sphere and protection of the Allied States of America
5.The Free Idaho Army is made into the Idahoan National Guard.

Farmer-Labor Alliance Headquarters

The building was in a state of activity as never before, several party members were rushing papers around and talking on the phone with other chapters within the Allied States. There has been widespread factory strikes and protests which the FLA have supported them all, factory workers demanded better wages and working conditions, citizens wanted the return of democracy, and the farmers wanted more support to continue their farms. The heads walked to the window watching a mob of protesters march by chanting and they all smiled at what they have managed to do, "The beginning of the revolution is here comrades, soon we will rise up and restore true democracy to the country." He sat down and began writing a telegram to one of the most industrial nations in the former United States, the American Workers Republic.

To: Government of the American Workers Republic
From: The Heads of the Farmer-Labor Alliance

We wish to request some support from your nation to support our cause, for far too long has the boot of tyranny kept the people of our nation under their control. With your help we will be able to succeed and spread the revolution into the nation, the government cannot be expecting to contain us any longer.
We have gather our strength and our ideas, we are now certain our victory is unstoppable. We await your response and even if you do not support us expect us to rise up in revolution against our government and to accept us as allies.

Madrid, Second Spanish Republic, FLA volunteers

The sounds of war never stopped at Madrid, every day bombing runs, artillery strikes, and explosions made the lives of those that were fighting worse, especially since both sides were of the same people. The FLA held the out skirts of the city and repelling any drive from the Nationalist forces that were trying to take them down; 3,000 volunteers initially were in the defense of the city, now it was reduced to 2,750 as well as the other 1,000 else where along the lines fighting Nationalist forces. A tank rolled up on the line, a panzer I bearing the mark of the Fascist Nationalists, a few molotovs made short work of it and caused the crew to abandon the tank only to be killed by FLA marksmen from the higher floors of the buildings. The FLA held firm and their flag continued flying in the blood stained wind, while the body covered battlefield was still set ablaze from the flames of war, they made their mark on the battle and will continue to hold out against the Nationalist hordes.

Oregon Federal House, Eugene, Federal Republic of Oregon

The Federal House of Oregon is a unicameral legislature that is composed of six hundred members from all across the Federal Republic. Each Federal Territory (former counties) or Special Federal Municipality (certain cities) gets a number of HMs (house members) according to their population. There are currently three parties seated in the Federal House: The Democrats, the Republicans, and Oregon Socialist Party. The Democrats have a majority with 450 HMs, down from a high of 500 not long ago. The Democrats hold such a strong majority due to the fact that they are seen as the party that guided Oregon through a time of crisis with many questions about its' future. Republicans hold 135 seats, a number that has grown by fifty-five over the last two elections. The Oregon Socialists hold fifteen seats, and have never held much of a voice in any of the Democratic governments.

Since the Democrats have an outright majority, they have been able to form a government without the need for a coalition, which has allowed the Democrats to pass many policies and see through many of their promises. The leader of the largest party in the Federal House is the chief executive and leader of government. For the Democrats for the past six years, that man has been Oswald West. Oswald West is the Federal President-Minister, and as such he holds the powers that a President of the Unites States would have. Today, Oswald West stands before the Federal House and addresses them on them about the state of Oregon's affairs and his legislative goals for the next year.

"House Members, I stand before you today to discuss the health of our Federal Republic. I stand before you today to discuss the current prosperity and hardships we face, and to begin a dialogue about how we can stay prosperous and weather, nay, not just weather, but conquer our hardships.

As you know fellow House Members, things are tenuous on our borders, and there is conflict spreading around us on all sides. For this reason I propose a modernization program, to bring our small military into the modern day, and equip and train them to be the strongest force they can be. This will make it so even though the Federal Armed Forces are small, they are a force to be reckoned with. As such, I am proposing that we build more M2 tanks, and begin designing a new tank with a larger gun and more armor that will be able to withstand the battlefield of the future. I propose that we begin to research and develop a plan to arm the Federal Naval Forces with no less than three pocket battleships by 1942. I also propose that we begin to research and reach out to our allies to see if we can obtain new aeronautic technology for the Federal Air Forces.

The military is not the only concern of the government of the Federal Republic my fellow House Members. We also must discuss the economic and social affairs of Oregon. As you know, worker protections are something we pride ourselves on in Oregon, but we do have to address the concerns of employers. Oregon must be an attractive and ripe ground for businesses to plant their flag. As such, I am endeavoring to slash the corporate tax rate in Oregon by 5% to 17.5%. I also wish to establish business councils in every Federal Territory that will come together on a regular basis to discuss the state of the economy in their Territory. The minutes of these meetings will be compiled into a report that will reach respective House Members, the President-Minister, and President of the Bank of Oregon. I also want to offer more incentive to businesses to establish themselves here with tax incentives and other financial incentives according to each case.

Socially, I wish to see the Federal Republic to be a safe haven for all those who wish to seek its' warmth and friendship. As we have a small population, I wish to encourage people to immigrate to Oregon especially but not only from other former states, but also across the world. We can accomplish this by establishing a Federal Immigrant Council that will produce a campaign that will encourage immigration. I also seek to have the Federal Republic impose a fine on anyone wishing to emigrate according to their financial status. In Oregon, I wish to see every Oregonian have healthcare provided by the government, and I wish to see more of Oregon's children finish secondary school and go on to college. To accomplish this I would like the Federal House to look at an overhaul of the tax code that will see rates raised on those with higher incomes and lowered, and possibly eliminated, for those Oregonians who are poorer.

House Members, I have laid out my legislative goals for you for the following year, and I cannot wait to work with you to accomplish them. Please have a great day and I will see you all tomorrow to begin this great journey of a new year."

The building erupted in applause as almost all Democrats and some Republicans gave the President-Minister a standing ovation. Oswald West is an ambitious man and he wants to accomplish everything he can for Oregon. As Oregon enters the stage of local and world politics, the people of the Federal Republic look toward the future with hope in their hearts and a glimmer in their eyes.

Confederate States of America
La mafia sarà la mano guida dell'uomo meridionale ad un futuro glorioso!
Lee County
August 30th,1937

President Vito Scalleta stared at the map of the confederacy, the three states looming down below on the hard oak table, with a firm squint of his eyes at the sight. The Military commanders all surrounded him with beads of sweat dripping down from their heads in the hot room, with the humidity in the southern state reaching far beyond what many suit wearing military leaders were expecting.
"A telegraph from Leesburg." The generals and the president turned aside to notice the young boy deliver the telegraph note to the leader himself.

We are running low on ammunition and food, we will fight to the last shell and bullet until hope dies down. We shall perish for the glory of Lee. Weapon ammunition expected to last for three days, food for four.
~ Francesca Scaletta.

"That's fairly odd that she still think's Lee's a good guy."
"Indeed. Now with this blow to our military forces, our fleet sunk and the city of Leesburg taken from under us,We only have Atlanta as a glimmering hope in the sunlight. Our prospects in holding Georgia seem slim to none,though I have thought of an idea."
"What would it be?"
"We send in airships with machine guns on them as a way of guarding Atlanta from enemy air raids, therefore slackening the pressure from the enemy bombers as they have to fly over and make their bombs less accurate."
"But airships are rather slow in manuvering and can easily be shot down, this isnt the first world war when we were just figuring out planes!"
"Hmm,damn,alright then, forget that plan,I want thirty civillan airliners to be loaded up with food,men and supplies.Here's what I'm thinking, each plane holding 50 pounds of food, 45 pounds of supplies along with twenty soldiers to be paradopped into the city for relife. At the Same time I want the Third Confederate Armored Divison's twenty five M 0.5 Issacs, twelve M1 Jims and eight M2 Carters along with ten armored cars to punch through to Atlanta,under the codename Bacon under the Sun."
"Sir, those thirty planes will be hard pressed to actually get through the enemy lines, they have total air superior-"
"I don't care what they have, they are to bust through twoards Atlanta and assist in their defense, they must break the seige, they will break the seige!"
The generals were shocked,it was suicidal to attempt a day light armored assault with no air cover,even ignoring the small state of the confederate air force, which had been reduced to three airfields and twelve planes,overall the state of the confederate armed forces had been in shambles since the offensive. The Navy was no more, and the armored forces were a mess of several different tanks and all over the CSA, with one being stuck in Georgia with the competent commander.
"Inform General Bill Gates that he is to withdraw immediatly to Lee County,if he has made the Carolinans bleed,i want to know what instrument he uses."
"Why not just give him a phone call, the lines havent been cut yet so we still get a connection."
With a smile beaming to Vito's face, he went out into the hallway of the bunker and grabbed the phone off the wall.
After a couple minutes, the calm voice of Gates was on the other end.
"Defense Strategist Bill Gates here."
"Billy, I demand that you come to our new capital of Lee County,we can use a plane to pick you up."
"Arent you dealing with your own problems, I regret to say that we're not in the best shape for me to just withdraw."
"B..But,you are needed here at once."
"That's a negative President, I see surrender as a big glass of wine,tourmenting me as I try to look away, but it is ever so tempting,and I must garner enough courage in my body to smash the glass into my hands. Will it be painful, yes? but surrender and drinking the glass is much worse when you know it will lead to a life of chains, chained to the alcohol of your choice. Therefore I have no choice,My family shall accompany me on my last huzzah."
"A suicidal charge?"
"No President, A Liberating trot on horseback to the firing line after a good lunch. Goodbye."
With that, Scalleta stopped hearing Bill Gate's synical views on the world and was greeted by the buzzing tone of the reciver. Putting the phone down, he staggered up.
"Gates has picked his own path it seems... No Matter,W...We'll decide what to do."
"Sir, are you alright."
"I...I'm fine.I just need to, write something out."
The staff looked at him and merely nodded at what he was referring to, walking out of the bunker. With silence for once, he shook as he studdered for a pencil and began to shakily craft a letter to Carolinia.

To:Carolinan Leadership
From:President Vito Antonio Scalleta

Southern friends, I must say that with the loss of Georgia and the fall of Atlanta, we have no other option on the table but to surrender, I request the surrender take place in Quittage,Mississppi, a fitting name given my proposal. However, I have one single condition that must be accepted,That I be exiled to New York. You may strangle whichever government offical you want next, just leave my skin free and we can talk about the number of names that committed warcrimes, such as a General Hickory Bush.

Atlanta
The reciver slammed down as a firm shuddering from the table creaked out from the force of the impact. With a deep breath, he grabbed a little book from the closet and lit some candles,drawing a Cross on the ground with The Presidnetal potrait of Lee looking down at him before getting on his knees and praying.
"Father Lee, I have sinned,for I have failed in the defense of the Leetherland, Your crown jewel in your empire shall be swept away from you in the middle of the night, the Industrial heart of the land stabbed out,with the Confederacy gasping for air, it's last breaths trying to avoid suffocating from the lack of oxygen. I shall do the honorable thing and sacrifice myself for the nation."
The picture of lee glowed in the candlelight, almost as a ghostly nod beyond the grave.
"Thank you Father, I shall visit you soon."
With that, he got up from his knees and smiled near the officers, leaving the bunker and mounting on his horse,staring out at the seven hundred odd souls with rifles,pickaxes,cutlasses and pistols, all on horseback.

"Children of Atlanta, This is Bill Gates, the commander of the defenses, I regret to say that we have sung our last huzzah, we knew help was never arriving and we gave the enemy a bloody nose, now I must go out into the cotton feilds and assist in the planation growing with Lee,he seems sweaty and ill at ease, I shall be on his shoulder in the eyes of god, and be justified for my actions. All the sins I committed, now shall be cleasned from me with my ritegous act of self sacrfice for the Confederacy. I urge all those that wish to partake in the sacrifice charge out with me. I say this to the enemy commander, I will never surrender nor flee, and we have fought a good fight. You are a worthy adversarty and I wish we were born in the same state, only now we are enemies. I shall honorably lead the final charge, I only ask is that I am the last to fall and the closest to get to your lines, perhaps as a meeting until death grabs me from the bed."
The soldiers merely nodded at the speech before bellowing out a feirce rebel yell,and trotting their horses, charging out with a blow of the trumpet.
"Charge, for Lee,The South and Atlanta!"

Sanders Hickory Bush twirled nevariously his green moustache as the little puppy was kicked off the building and into a firm splat from it's own blood coming into it. With a sneer down at the dead dog, he lit his cigar and munched on it for a nice warm up for breakfast. As he ran his large machette through a pleading old lady's skull, he merely wiped the blood from his face and smiled like a mad man as he took a few choice words to heart,entering the small shack that he had operated out as the general.
"General Greenbeard."
Bush turned around and looked dead eyed at the rough and tired looking second in command known as Vice General Bluebeard,with the ivory coloring in the facial hair all apparent on the full grown stubble of wires and whiskers on the man's face. With a deep breath, he replied bluntly.
"What is it?"
"I was wonderin if ya wanted t'kill a school of these non Lee hardliners, they've been sayin things that are miighty contreversial."
"What heresey be it they speak against the Holy Church of Lee?"
"Prophet, in earnest, they said,and dont go slicing mah head off-"
"I won't,you're no longer a liabiltly,but an asset to my affairs outstate, continue."
Bluebeard merely took in an akward gulp before continuing on with his words.
"They say that Lee may have been a dictator that not only limited the civil liberties we were enjoying under our other presidents, but also were sending in secret police and violating our rights in the consitution,with no courts avaialbe for our rights, as if we were living in Nazi Germany."
"Nazi Germany's wonderful this time of year,I want to see this school immediatly."
"At once,Holy Master."
With several solem footsteps towards the wooden building, he took a step inside to see the rows upon gaunt like faced skelletons that greeted him. He smiled deeply at the collection of two hundred students in the single room classroom.
"Now, I am here to teach you a lesson you will have with you for the rest of your lives, so listen up." He then revealled a stick of chalk and dotted down a series of questions on the board.
"Who is god?"
A little child stood up and smiled happily before excreting out an answer from his ass.
"Poo!"
Bush tilted his head with disapproval and made his lips curl into a long and thick smile. Approaching the desk where the excrement named child was, he calmly soothed and spoke lightly
"My dear little boy, why do you think the answer for god would be poo?"
The infant like aged girl's eyes grew long and wide as she darted around the room, hoping for an answer in her 7 year old head.
"a-ah-dak-"
Within an instant the calm voice of Bush had been replaced by a booming thunder of screeches and bellows at the child, hurting the class's ears from the sudden noise.
"Answer me!"
The little girl began to sob and put her head down on the desk, to which Bush replied with revealing a Katana sword,running it through the little girl's neck and having the body disconnect.
Bush then combed his hair, the sword still out, and eased back down into a reassuring voice.
"Now then, where were we? Discipline. that's the first lesson. Without discipline, society-"
He pauses,picking up the head of the little girl.
"Crumbles." finishing with dropping the head on the table,much to the mass histeria of the classroom who just saw a classmate die.
With a deep breath, Bush began to walk out of the room.
"Burn the school down and lock the doors,shoot any who try to escape and send these to their parents."
The Holy soldier standing next to him looked at the several bulge shaped envelopes to be delivered, smiling at their obvious contents.
"Yes, Holy Master."
With that, he climbed into the near by bed and fell asleep to the blood curuling screams of the suffering and smell of charchol in the air.
