The Union Forever...
One of the things I admire most about the United States of America is their idea of a forever union, but that got me thinking about what would happen if the USA broke into many smaller countries during the interwar era of the 2oth century. So being the logical person that I am, I made an RP about this possibility! Now before you get around to apping I think you'll all need some background information...

The United States of America was one its way to becoming a economic and military superpower for over a century. With the onset of the Great War America declared neutrality in what they saw as a European Conflict, however this war did highlight the severe divide in the country as those who supported the Central powers and those who supported the Allies occasionally clashed in the streets of Americas cities, often violently. Eventually America joined the Allies for several reasons which greatly upset the German population of America (which is much higher in this RP). After the war ended with an Allied victory the now great power began facing instability issues from within, this included multiple succession movements and a few armed conflicts in the more rural regions of the country. Seeing this occurring the military stepped in and preformed a military coup in Washington DC, they implemented the former general Edward Rodez to the presidency. The new president was wildly unpopular an less then a month after the coup Texas and California declared independence resulting in congress passing a highly controversial bill aimed at the destruction of states rights. This was the nail in the coffin for the country and on July 2 1921 the federal government lost control of the entire country outside the district of Colombia, marking the end for the United States of America. The newly independent countries have faced problems for nearly 2 decades now but with the troubles brewing at home and overseas the future of these former states is uncertain

Workers at the old National Archives Building work getting two official copies of the former nations constitution ready, many are wearing the flag of their current nation. Laughing at today's event. Later today, these two copies will sit across each other. The leaders of the Federation and Virgina are going to burn these copies, marking the official end of the United States. The actual Consitution will be displayed at the rebuilt White House, destroyed in the riots when the nation fell. Turned into the Museum of the former nation it will house relics of what used to be. The Capital turned into the home of the legislative executive branch. The two chambers alternating use of the House, while the HOR is in session the Senate is in committee. The executive branch operating in what used to be the Senate wing, retro fitted for the needs of the branch. The President living somewhere else and the Supreme court still in their building. The Washington Monument is now the US Memorial listing the names of the men who died during the revolt from all over the land.

Confederate States of America
Deorum in meridie Imperator Mundi caput erigere ad opus, quod factum est ad Lee praeses Confoederationis!
Leesburg
July 1st,1936

President-Prime Minister-General-Admiral-Chief Justice Johnson Michael Lee grabbed the pipe in the corner of the large oak desk in his office and blew a few firm puffs on it, letting out several clouds of smoke from the mouth of the leader. The door creaked open and in stepped the rather large looking Minister of Defense that breathed in and out heavily before thankfuly taking a seat, with the chair moaning in protest at the mass amount of weight forced upon it's man made construction.
"Minister of Defense Larry Chester,what brings you into my office this morning?"
"I need to report to you of the plans for the M2-Carter tank, it will involve an expansion and production of at least 50 more 4.7 inch guns ontop of the three we have at our disposal thanks to the acquisition of the Atlanta Arsenal, I have authorized the production of the main cannons and it's two .303mm machine guns from storage that will accompany it. I plan for at least one hundred to be made by the end of the month."
"You hold too much hope in the roads of this nation,I shall see if I can get a new tank manufacturing center upon introducing legislation to Congress, that will allow you to produce enough armor to make our military something to be proud of,Dismissed."
"Yes sir."
With that, the rather fat looking man got up and left the room,much to the chair and Lee's relief.
"I doubt that chair could've taken much more of that weight."
With a slight chuckle in his voice, he went back to his daily activities and began to muse through the poll numbers for the election, He was at 70%, his nearest opponent, his brother Travis sat at 26%, with his other brother Brandon being a mere 3%,but managing to be three times as better as his sister's Lee Bread and Labor Party's abysmal 1% in the polls. He knew he was going to win in a landslide for another three year term, he was just wondering when it would occur. He felt rather excited to be taking another oath of office and being sworn in by the judge of the nation. It would be up to the electoral college to decide the victor, and he knew that the gods of victory would be benevolent to the dictator.


Denny Stadium,Tuscalooa,Alabama
President Lee stared at the hundreds of thousands of seated faces,flanked on the large wooden made stage by several of the national followed by party flags that almost engulfed the arena. Bellow him stood the stiff faced and well armed gaurds bristiling their semi automatic rifles and scanning for threats to the commander in chief as he cleared his throat and began his speech to the nearly one hundred thousand people and supporters that came to listen to the speech, with another two million on the radio hearing it being broadcasted along the airways.

"My patriots of the Revolution,I am pleased to be speaking to you right now,just one month before the election is to take place in our glorious confederacy. This is not just a political statement, it is a statement on the events of the world that is occuring miles away. The Ideals of a strong nation with a superiror race of the white man shall be preached to all surrounding nations. If I do win this election,it will give me another three years to serve the Confederate nation,the Confederate People and to defend it's souls with all of my earnest and all of the fibers in my being. I am honored to have called myself the Father of the Revolution,but I must return the favor in naming you all my dearly beloved children. I hold no wife,and I am married to the party, the nation and the revolution. There shall be no mother of the revolution, as I will remain single,devoted entirely to the Lee Unionist Party and it's philosophies of Confederate Nationalism and Leeism. Only under these philosophies can we remain a strong and united nation,never divided along racial lines. A place where the negro and the white man see eye to eye and treat each other as brothers. We are the most heavenly and democratic nation on this god given earth! Others may say they have mastered the skills of rigging elections, but we are the unquestioned craftsman of the art of rigging. The right political thoughts that this party will be inserted into the minds of all voters, and I can assure you of our unquestioned victory come July.

My Policies shall be a vast Infrastructural modernization of the Confederacy’s many railways and the beginning of the Cotton Roadway that shall connect all three of our states with as many as 100 highways that shall have 100 routes on them, with half going north and the other half going south. They shall connect the industrial might of Atlanta with the Mighty Mississippi that can lead to trade all up and down the raging waters that we call rivers.

The Military is also another key area in the heart of me, and I shall form the Lee National Guard to act as a combination of Alabaman, Georgian and Mississippian militia forces of old, harking back to the civil war era and the call to arms then. They shall report to Me personally as the Party’s strong arm, eliminating the opposition and frightening the shit out of voters of opposite political parties. If we will not win, we will cheat. If that does not work, we shall overthrow the government to place me in as the president once more! I promise you all this, Bread,Labor and Stability!
On the coastal parts of the Alabaman and Mississippi that are cut off from the bottle of Lee, fear not, for we shall march in and liberate you one more as the core territories of the Confederacy. Those Louisianan bastards are a selfish and self centered bunch of rich snobs that want to oppress the working man in the coastal regions.

I say no more, we shall liberate our oppressed brethren under the rallying cry Remember Baton Rouge when we were bickering and blithing during the chaotic years of the misguided democratic bastards that did not see the true glory of confederate nationalism and instead wanted to cow tow to the military oppressors in Washington D.C and their cronies and fools that follow them,as Nebraska beckons upon them to help their fat cat stacks now! We shall ensure that the workers remain in jobs that provide them Bread,Labor and Stability. We shall ensure a strong and stable economy under the state, and we shall provide the nation with enough men to defend itself from the forgien devils that seek to conduct a reverse Monroe Doctrine on the nations of central America, one in which the sweet, sweet forced labor,I mean liberated volunteers of Lee will be pushed down for oppression. That will never occur so long as I am President, So Long as Butch remains committed as my Running Mate, and as long as we eliminate all opposition to my rule! The South shall Rise once more! Salute Lee!”

With a beavy of echoing Salute Lees being chanted by the crowd in a frenzy, Lee merely composed himself, raised his elbow to the crowd before extending it with his palm pressed down,being a mimic to the thousands of other hands that were in the salute of the LUP.

THEORY ON LEEIST CONFEDERATE NATIONALIST THOUGHT AND IT'S IMPLEMENTATION IN THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
By Johnson Michael Lee

Needed for the Advancement of the Confederate Peoples are several simple guidelines of the Confederate Nationalist Thought that shall be known henceforth as the guiding ideology of the Leeist Union Party that is the dominant party of the Confederacy. These Guidelines shall set the essential basics of Leeist Thought by the founder himself.

1. The Needed preservation of Southern Political heritage and history through the active remembrance of the guiding and founding fathers of the War of Northern Aggression that saw their dreams of a free and united confederacy gone. Such aspects shall be the preservation of the original former capital of the confederacy of Montgomery, and the designation of Jefferson Davis as the Grandfather of the Revolution. The Traditions of the old order will be held high ,and the mistakes made by the old confederacy shall be taken in as lessons to be learned from the new and improved administration that governs the states of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, all former confederate states that shall be joined in the bonds of southern brothers and the traditions of the civil war.

2. The Need for a strong military to ensure the national defense of the boarders of the Confederacy, with the white man leading the charge of battle to defend the sons, daughters and wives of the Confederacy. This Military shall be granted sweeping powers over the ever loving eye of the Father of the South, Johnson Michael Lee to ensure it serves the Confederacy as a whole and with a firm grasp on Anglo-Saxon ideals of racial purity and superiority over all other races. The Raising of children to be born to carry a rifle until the grave shall ensure a firm population dedicated to the ideals of Nationalism and Defense of one's homeland from foreign outsiders and other non American races. A love of the armed forces and the continuation of the Lee Scouts to indoctrinate the youth into ideas of southern independence and nationalism will still remain in place to this day.

3. The Racial Ideals of such a system shall involve the superiority of the Anglo Saxon race and the elimination or subjugation of other races to do he Anglo Saxon’s bidding, at which time minor rights will be given to the other races that are not eliminated via exterminating genocide but rather put as a workforce for the Confederacy. Once this has been achieved, it will allow for another section of the economy to sprout up with trips to Africa to acquire a larger workforce as the population expands whiter and less African laborers that will be needed to fuel the economic growth and overall prosperity for all peoples. The needed enslavement will benefit the economic side of the south with its vast fields of cotton and tobacco which shall be readily available commodities to be traded for a profit for all involved. They shall not be enslaved, but we will reintroduce Sharecropping and force those "slaves" to be tied to the land as of the ancient serfs of the 1300s and of the middle aged times of laborial hardships and plague. If at a time there is an automation and a negation of the need for mass labor, we shall slowly over the course of two to three decades liberate those people once in chains and set them out to become jobless as the whites would be, fearful of economic competition but always at an advantage due to the minimal educational standards that must be set for the Anglo Saxon man to become anything in this earth, such as three years of high school and one year at either a trade school or university in which they may set themselves off upon on a career of their liking.

4. The Economic future of the nation shall be based on an urge to increase industrialization at the expense of farmland, with the casting of new military equipment in Atlanta and getting more of the sweet, sweet bubbly coke to feed the troops. Vast Industrial projects shall be initiated to ensure a shovel in every hand and a smile on every face. The Needed upgrade of the nation's infrastructure shall be initiated, with a National Roadway service in the form of even routes go east to west with odd routes go north to south all over the three state confederacy. The Ports in Georgia will be expanded for both Military use as we build up the ships in the fleet and commercial use as we trade with other nations within the Americas to ensure a stable economy, which will include the import of food to feed the populace of the South with.

5. The Foreign Relations of such a state that will be governed under Leeist-Confederate Nationalist thought will be the needed strengthening of alliances with similarly minded folks, such as National Socialists if the opportunity for an alliance occurs in the near future. The Condemnation of the hated ideas of socialism and communism will be preached on every street corner as to better the ideas of Nationalisitic thought and a renewed sense of patriotism and nationalism towards the peoples of the nation as a distraction for the economic uncertanity of getting bread tommorrow or other personal and heart greiving matters of the people that the state has failed to deliver on it's promises for, and is paying in an eventual uprising that will topple the old system. This cannot and will not happen thanks to my heart ironed and even fisted rule over this nation.

6. Religion has a place in such a society as ours, with the Teachings of Lee as the creator of the universe, the stars, and the heavens above will be main spread to deify the personality and create the essential cult of personality around the leaders of a nation to prevent unrest and to solidify the political power with a justification of god’s willingness to let the government be on the earth, even when men are the forgers of empires, not gods in the heavens, the heavens give permission for man to create the vast cities which all people live in and prosper as, and he is the effect of the plagues and diseases that smite the earth simply as the wrath of the deity above, with his omnipresent appearance and infinite knowledge in all things that us humans have only barely begun to comprehend. The Needed importance of Tradition will be brought into the nation, with the establishment of the Thirteen Commandments of Leeist-Christianity.

The Commandments shall be the following:
1.Do not cheat with women of foul odor
2.Obey thy government and thy god
3.Put no other gods above Lee
4.Lee will be merciful if you obey thy commandments
5.Worship in mine house on thy lords day of Sunday
6.Honor Thy Father of the revolution but fuck thy Mother
7.Thy Shall not steal
8.Thy shall not bear false witness against they holy Lee
9.Thy shall not murder
10.Thy shall serve thy state
11.Thy shall condemn our enemies in thy fires of hell
12.Thy shall obey thy messengers of god when they come upon thy earth
13.Thy shall obey thy words of Lee as if they are ye own

Confederate National Congress
The screeching on the floors as dozens of desk were shoved in reminded Lee fondly of his one room school housing days fifty years prior, and the sever beatings he had taken from Mrs. Mollie in his envigored and energetic youth. As Lee took to the stand,he shuffled the pieces of paper in front of him,took a deep breath and began to speak.

“I firmly Believe that the Navy of the Confederacy must be bigger than it's current size. The Navy must get rid of some ship and build up bigger ships for the defense of the nation. Such Projects will be expensive, as some critics of the first draft pointed out and so I have made the necessary arrangements for the national defense of the nation with the cutting out of one or two ships and getting the people of the nation, Instead of working on a new battleship, I have cut it down to an addition of two heavy cruiser and two light cruisers in the new navy as well.

I believe that we should honor our fathers and the founding father of the navy, Stephen Mallory's dreams of a bigger fleet, only this time we have the resources to construct such a dream fleet of our own. This bill will contain the needed upgrading of facilities and the immediate recruitment of all Civilian Ocean Liners in our possession at Southern Ports along the Mississippi and that they shall be transported via train and crane to the ports in Georgia to enable the adequate stripping away of the hull and attaching of the necessary heavy armament which Georgia's steel mills shall work on casting the first 15 inch rifled cannons for it.

I have also plans to convert two ocean liners into fully fledged aircraft carriers for the Navy, capable of holding nearly forty aircraft on each vessel. The Building of ten new destroyers will also be a welcome addition in the naval fleet, to show of the Imperial Strength of the Confederacy when the inevitable fleet review is about to occur at some point.

As for the Army’s go, we must recruit more soldiers into the Confederate Army, as such I have made plans to organize a division of 20,000 soldiers as an addition in the Confederate Army within one month. We also must better prepare armored plans and designs, I shall order the construction of a 23 acre or a million square mile Tank Production Facility in Atlanta to produce and come up with better designs that shall be approved by me.”

ARMED FORCES REARMAMENT AND EXPANSION FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE FATHERLAND
Proposed by President-Prime Minister-General-Admiral-Chief Justice Johnson Michael Lee

I. The Allocation of Unionist Funds to the construction of the following vessels: One Heavy Cruiser, One Light Cruiser, Two aircraft carriers, Ten destroyers and seven torpedo gunboats.

II. The Plan shall have three phases: Phase I shall be the construction of the torpedo gunboats and destroyers in the Georgian Harbors along the coast. Phase II shall be the construction of the Heavy and Light Cruiser. Phase III will be the modification and constructional beginning of the two Ocean Liners into Aircraft Carriers for the Confederate Navy.

III.
The Governmental Airplanes shall produce thirty four fighters, twenty eight dive bombers and twenty six torpedo bombers, with each carrier's airwing being amounted to fifteen fighters,fourteen dive bombers and twelve torpedo bombers, with the rest being reserved for a nearby airbase that I have corrupt ties to.

IV. The Planning and Authorization of a 23 acre Tank Production Facility to produce armored vehicles needed in potential conflicts with our neighbors. Contracts for privately owned construction firms are to be hammered out in detail at a later date, with the commencement of construction being no more than 30 days away from the approval of this legislation by the legislature building and the elected representatives before the bill today.
FOR: 599
AGAINST:5

With a notice on the tallies he whispered into the ear.
"Bring up the five that voted against this bill."
"Yes General Master."
With a snap of his fingers, the five men were infront of him. The Men looked tired and yet determined to do their duty not to the nation but to their own interests.
"I would like to know your reasoning to vote against the bill,that is your right as Confederate citizens of the elected representational democratic process,you can vote against it, it is an option."
The first man came forward.
"I have a wife at home,she's pregnant, I fear you may start a war, I may have to serve in the military as part of the Political People's Brigade,Fourth Alabaman District,I'm a vet of the old war, I fought for the Lees, and I firmly belived in the confederate nationalist teachings, how you are going to make this country great again.
"You men have committed treason against Leeism and The Confederate Nationalist Spirit, I want all members to pull out their firearms and blast these five men to pieces, do it, or you'll end up like them!"
With an uneasy look in the mens' face, they reluctantly agreed and a bevy of colt revolvers and 1911 handguns were pulled out from the pockets and side hands of all the five hundred and ninety nine members who awaited the signal to fire.
"Fire!"
Over six hundred pistol,rifle,shotgun and revolver rounds entered the air,with a third slamming into the five members of the treasonous conduct. When it was over, more holes were in the bodies than were in the ceiling from ricochets and misfires,and that was an accomplishment not to miss the body!
With a sneer at the five,bullet ridden and blood soaked corpses that were once politicians that dared to go against the grain,only to be shot up in heaven.
Lee then turned to one of his aides and whispered:
"Inform the mayors of those five counties that they represented of their needed election for new positions with the unfortunate passing of the bastards."
"Yes General Master."

Port Wentworth

Admiral Charles Montey stared out at the port from the flagship of the Confederate Navy, the Light Cruiser Atlanta with it's eight 5 inch twin cannons in four snugly placed turrets arranged in the front and rear of the ship. He could see that the President-General's plans of repurposing civilian liners for military use was already begining, as the Old Liner Bastion of the Peach slow down as it entered port, with several workers swarming the vessel in an attempt to clear off the flight deck, removing doors and bolts from the ten year old ocean liner that had been selected out of hat seemingly to serve as one of the Confederate Navy's aircraft carriers.

It was one of the many projects that had made his blood somewhat boil, he wanted a battleship or something that would compete with the Atlanta or downright dwarf her in size, it had been heart breaking to hear that Bastion of the Peach and Salted Savior of the Bacon were to be turned into carriers instead of the large and creatively designed battleships that he had even designated plans for... His version would have eight 14 inch cannons in four twin turrets placed aft and bow,along with twelve twin 5 inch guns in twin mounts amidships for smaller vessels along with nearly twenty 3 incher guns to put the destroyers of the fleet to shame, but it wasn't to be, as his dreams of the Battleship gave way for the nightmare of the aircraft carrier. He was not really familiar with the idea of flat topped carriers, and the ones he had seen were at some fleet exercise in 1936 onboard a destroyer that was near the carrier Lexington. It seemed like a large and very plain looking ship, not with dozens of heavily armed cannons with them,but a flat like designed that screamed boredom to any passing naval enthusiast that would make them run for recruitment into the army instead.
With a sigh, he went back inside the small command post and rummaged through his coat for the precious tobacco filled wonder disk that filled his life with not only purpose, but meaning as he began to talk with an officer.
"That Lee's a damned fool, why the hell are we building carriers?"
"we're re purposing these ships to serve us better, with the additional planes-"
"It will be more expensive to produce these large ugly suns of bitches, with the time needed to build the planes and to convert these bastards. It wouldn't take nearly as long if we stuck some 14 inchers on the bastard and sent her off to war."
"And she'll be sunk immediately,have you not learned the lessons of the last war, air power is key."
"In the last war, battleships were the key, and air power was a mere experiment for trouble seeking unemployed flyboys and dirt cheap shitheads."
"Air planes are becoming more needed compared to the firepower of the large guns."
"Have you been in any experiments to prove me otherwise, have you seen a battleship get sunk by some stupid ass planes as their large cannons cannot even target the cowardly flattop?"
"Well no, but that has little bearing on the current conversation, in the last war a predreadnought battleship was sunk by airplane-"
"That's the key, predreadnought, they were not prepared for the newer version of warships and Iron steel that now roam the seas and sink enemy warships,bombard enemy coasts and blast enemy surface convoys to smithereens!"
"But planes can last longer and you have a mobile airbase that will allow you to strike at things beyond the horizon."
"Bullshit, bullshit,fucking bullshit,I am a battleship admiral and I will die a battleship admiral, you will never, not in a millenia,convince me that battleships are obselete!"
With an angry shove,Admiral Montey walked out onto the deck, flipping off the construction workers busily tearing the Ocean Liner apart for reconstruction.

Lincoln, Nebraska, United States of America
Presidential Building, former Governor's Building

President Cochran looked out from the balcony, seeing the busy street of Lincoln below as many people walked from store to store. It has been 15 years since the "fall" of the United States, though it has fallen it is still alive. Nebraska a breadbasket state of the midwest, before the fall was just farmers, ranchers, and little industry to speak of. After the fall it became stronger having its own factories and producing much agricultural products. Those were all under the guidance of McMullen one of Nebraska's most beloved governors, bringing industry and jobs to the state. Now that the President, D.C. and McMullen is now gone Nebraska is left in uncertainty. Being the only state loyal to the Union it took the torch, Lincoln became the United States' capital, the Nebraska Legislature was expanded from 49 to 99, the governor's residence and the Governor's building were renamed to the Presidential Residence and the Presidential Building, and finally the Governor was sworn into office as the President of the United States of America.

Radio station, Lincoln, Nebraska

President Cochran sat down in the seat he was told to sit in, the host was talking about sports, the weather, and of course the winning lottery numbers. Once he was finished he changed the tone of his voice, "People of Nebraska and any or all former states of the Union, we have a special guest on here today. I introduce the President of the United States of America!!" Cochran cleared his throat and began to speak, "People of the United States of America, I am your President, my name is Robert Leroy Cochran. Now I know that our great republic is now a shadow of its former self..but with our determination we can bring it back from the ashes. I know that the old stars and stripes are still within the hearts of all Americans, I know that many of you don't want our great nation to be split apart. Nebraska still holds true to the Union, the one state that never left it....of course many already knew this. Now onto different matters, such as that of the new "countries". To the east of the United States is the Free American Republic, a model of our former Union, glory it once had, a pretender to that of the United States of America!!! Farther east is the American Federation, controller of D.C., as well a model of the Union, another pretender that tries to take the name of the United States of America. These two nations are but pretenders to our rightful name! They left the Union! They showed no interest in the Old Government! They are but copies of the original! So I ask of you people of America, to support our efforts into reuniting the country under the stars and stripes! Form into minutemen militias so that you can support us when the time comes! I ask of you to stay strong! I ask of you to continue believing in the American Dream! The Dream of Unifying America once again! I am President Cochran and I ask all Americans to stay strong and continue fighting!" The President started breathing heavily and walked away from the microphone.

Omaha, Metz Brewery

The workers were standing outside of the factory in mass with signs and chanting. The Metz brewery strike has been going on for a few hours, the workers were demanding more pay and safer working conditions. "We work hard for people like you! We must get treated equally!" the lead worker of the strike chanted, after several more hours the demands were met. The workers satisfied with what happened returned back to work, another victory for the Farmer-Labor Alliance the lead worker thought and soon all workers will be treated equally.

Sérénissime République de la Nouvelle-Orléans ・ Louisiane ・ Nouvelle Orléans • Paroisse d'Orléans

In the capital building, located near Lee’s Circle and built following the city of New Orleans’ signature style, there sat three individuals, at three sides of a triangular table. They were Doge Claude Beaumont, in charge of the military, Doge Edmond Blumstein, with the duty of ensuring economic prosperity and scientific advancement, and Dogaresse Lillian Llewelyn, who dealt with foreign affairs and internal social policy. These three individuals were among the richest people in the entirety of the New World, and ran the Most Serene Republic as if it were a company of their own.

“Good afternoon, Doge Blumstein and Dogaresse Llewelyn,” said Doge Beaumont, “I am to be assured we will all have reports of prosperity this month, correct?”
“Indeed, my friend,” replied Doge Blumstein, “Our economic position is most favourable. Despite this ‘Great Depression’, our economy still remains stable, and the job losses from the crash have not yet exceeded their forecasted values. The jobs that have been lost have, for the most part, been remedied by our efforts in constructing polders and sea walls with the help of some excellent Dutch engineers. This may be old news, but I remain confident that this endeavour will benefit our city as it has benefited Amsterdam. With my management, and the continued cooperation of our fellow upperclassmen, I remain optimistic that our recovery shall continue as planned. In the scientific sector, we have continued forth with the development of the new aircraft carrier model 5XG, and we hope to have completed production of the first model by the end of next year. That is all I have to report, feel free to take the stage, Lillian.”

With that, Doge Blumstein sat, and Dogaresse Llewelyn stood.
“Thank you, Edmond. I am happy to report a fairly tranquil foreign affairs situation at the current time, though our border qualms with the Confederacy to our north remain an ongoing subject, as do our recently acquired vassals in Hispaniola. It remains to be seen whether any of the situations develop into more concerning matters, but I remain confident that our situation will remain stable. Further, I am pleased to report that our recent motion to extend suffrage to coloureds concerning issues on a local level has been implemented with little difficulty, though some protests have been reported from southern Arkansas. These protests, however, are few and far between, thus I conclude them to be of little concern. Our future is bright, gentlemen. We only need seize it for ourselves. Please, Claude, present to us your findings.”

At this, Dogaresse Llewelyn sat.
“Thank you, I shall,” said Doge Beaumont, standing once more, “I am pleased to report that our navy has gained a fifth submarine, up from four last month, bringing our navy to 4 battleships, 34 destroyers, and 5 submarines. As previously mentioned, our first carrier looks to be produced in the near future, and shall fit nicely with our modest airforce. Our land forces have continued their training, and are coming along nicely, though I am concerned that we have the lowest population in the region, and may run into issues of number in the future. This may be remedied by initial guerrilla warfare, and perhaps bribing enemy soldiers, but, hopefully, we will not have to test these methods anytime soon. Further, the revolts in our Haitian vassal have been crushed, and hopefully shan't return, though they may, as the region is notoriously volatile. This concludes my report on the military. I do believe we may now have lunch, unless we must discuss further matters.”

“I believe we ought to invite President Lee from our northern neighbour to dinner,” began Dogaresse Llewelyn, “It may prove beneficial to future interests if we can gain his trust. Our spies indicate a potential desire for fleet production. Our ports are among the best in the region, so it may be possible to seduce him with promise of naval production. This could, of course, give us yet another job opportunity, as well as a potential ally to our north, allowing us to further solidify our position in the south. Thoughts, suggestions, other ideas?”

“I think we ought, though we should have an alternative, should we be rebuffed,” replied Doge Beaumont, “After all, the man seems a bit mentally unsound.”

“Agreed,” said Doge Blumstein, “I think we certainly need a contingency plan. Perhaps Mexico would be a good second choice?”

“Mexico does seem rather promising,” responded Dogaresse Llewelyn, “I agree. We ought to contact Mexico if we are unable to gain a favourable position with President Lee.”

“Then it's final,” finished Doge Beaumont, “Lillian shall message President Lee after lunch, and that's the end of it.”

“Agreed!” responded the other two.

With that, the three began dining on various delicacies, and drifted in conversation to matters other than governance, as they all still enjoyed the gossip of the elites.

From: La Sérénissime République de la Nouvelle-Orléans
To: The Confederate States of America

Greetings, President. We, Doges of New Orleans, would be most honoured if you were to attend a dinner in our fair city. We desire to discuss various matters, particularly the notion of enhanced cooperation between our two nations. We look forward to your visit.

Sincerely, Dogaresse Llewelyn

Austin Texas- The Republic's Policy

Ever since the great Deppresion began, Texans have had to rely on multiple things to get their econemy stabilized. To help combat non-employment, the 'Labor Initiative' was started in 1931. It conscripted men giving them a shovel, a bycle, a hat with the Star of Texas on it. They were put to work in construction works around the country. Notabbly were the highway construction's connection cities around the country. This had a positive effect on the Texan Auto Industry, which has begun to take off in recent years with companies such as Wilson's Wagon's, or the state funded companies.

Another factor was the rapid upbuild of the Texan military. Due to the percived threat from it's southern neighbor, the Texan military has began taking the steps it's deemed nesseasary to protect Texan intrests. That's why Texan has begun it's upbuild, and striving for independency whith her resources so she could produce for war. With this, Texas was also stimulating it's economey.

Texan Manufacturing has also seen subsidization and growth in thw 20's, and was contributing to the recovery of Texas now. Though, one of the biggest things was oil. It had continued to help drive the Texan economey since independence, and wasn't stopping either.

Texan Military

The current Texas Navy layed at 3 Battleships, 29 Destroyers, 43 Destroyers, and 19 Submarines. The Navy also had plans to upsize with the first Air Craft Carrier. The Texan navy was far from the highlight of the Texan military. The Texan Air Forces were one of the larger ones, boasting a reputable size of craft. Then there was the army which was combined with the Air Services, worked in coheasion to make a force working together like a complicated play.

The Army employs an Armored force of 1,000 tanks, 85% which are equipped with radios, which are to help in the Texans Combined-Arms tactics. An Air Service of 2,000 Aircraft which are to help the Army with close air-support among other things.

PRESIDENTIAL BUILDING, FORMER GOVERNOR BUILDING, DENVER, COLORADO-NEW MEXICO

Colorado-New Mexico's leader Albert Johnson would think of a alliance of democratic nations. Japan was being a annoying country, yet they are landlocked. They wanted allies, fast.

Albert Johnson: "I see that there are few democratic countries in our former America. What can we do?"

Alexander Lincoln: "Make a alliance with them!"

Johnson: "But how?"

Lincoln: "Send them a telegram!"

FORT DENVER, NEAR BOULDER, COLORADO-NEW MEXICO

General Margaret Johnson stared out at the port from the flagship of the Colorado-New Mexico Air Force, the Genesis VI Planes with it's two 2 inch twin bombs in four snugly placed "bomb areas" arranged in the middle of the plane. He could see that the President's plans of repurposing several civilian planes for military use was already beginning, as the Old Liner Denver of the Peace Albert slow down as it entered the Fort, with several workers swarming the planes in an attempt to clear off the runway, removing obstacles from the ten year old base that had been selected out of that seemingly to serve as one of the Colorado-New Mexico's aircraft bases.

The Carolina Republic - July 3rd, 1936


President's Mansion, Columbia, SC

President John Williams sat inside of his office in the Carolina Republic, right in Columbia, South Carolina. It was repurposed from the initial governor's mansion of South Carolina and the interior was modified to house more pieces of art relevant to the people of the Three C's. The men of the Carolinas had fought and died for freedom in the Revolutionary War and won, but more had died in the Civil War in vain. Williams would still work with nations up North if given the chance, but he still held a resentment for what the Yankee nations had done to his people. But all men, black and white, had worked together for independence from the Union more recently, and they had received. The people of Cuba were not forgotten, and though their revolution had drained them, they had voluntarily joined the Carolinas with equal representation, thus granting them all the nickname of the Three C's. Williams loved each and every man, woman, and child of them equally, and was prepared to do anything to protect them. Given the instability of the former USA, the government had to work hard to protect all of them, and indeed it did.

Capitol of the Military, Charlotte, NC

The Capitol of the Military was a large building that stood close to an army training ground, where many cadets could be seen learning the basics of diving tryout trenches, and operating military equipment. Inside the Capitol of the Military, where the matters of the nation's military were discussed, the leaders of the three main branches of the military took part in discussion.

"Most of our bordering nations are friendly, but I have a bad feeling about Lee, I don't trust him. We need to buy more tanks from our allies in the Reich and Texas. Now the Ameriwhatever Reich may not be much more sane, but they will not attack us, and are friendly to trade. I suggest we buy as many tanks from them as possible and build up our defenses on their border, but also keep diplomatic relationships with their so called Confederate States of America to stall war for as long as possible," General D. J. Davis remarked, saying the name of Lee's nation with disgust. The Confederacy was his heritage, and his ancestors had fought hard for it. To see such a putrid man vainly try to take control of it disgusted him, and he wanted to end it as soon as he could to put the ancient nation to rest.

"I understand that fully, and I agree. Our own proud shipyards should work on creating more submarines to support our destroyers, and hopefully we may be able to slowly build up a blockade to fight him with. We will still keep friendly relations, yes, but we must hurry to build up our navy in the hopes that we may build up a naval blockade and choke his resources. His neighboring countries are ones he's shown aggression towards, so hopefully, they will not aid him. We will focus on making 10 British S-class submarines and build two small air craft carriers from ocean liners, while also commissioning more battleships and destroyers from New Orleans," Admiral Pickens replies, showing concern in his voice. They were a superior naval power to Lee, but yet their increasing naval size worried him. They needed to get a blockade going, yet at the same time, they needed to build up their ground forces.

"We need bombers from those whacky German-Americans, too. If we can bomb his resources we can starve them, and also work to take out any military factories they may have. Our Air Force has remained too small for too long, and we must grow it in size if we wish to ever become a large power!" Air Fleet Commander Ackerman adds bluntly. He was always an angry man due to the amount of pilots but lack of air craft, and he had always been looking for a chance to grow their plane count. But here it was in broad daylight, and he would took that chance.

After several more hours of discussion, all three military leaders shake hands, and have orders send through, all of which are approved by a vast majority of the Carolinian Senate.

- The 7ft tall concrete wall that completely borders the Confederate States of America is to be upgraded to add several more bunkers and other defenses, while making sure that it is constantly patrolled by officers.

- Troops are to be trained in preparation for more tanks, which will be put to work monitoring the border as well.

- Several Air Fields in North Carolina are to modernized, and the current roster of air craft pilots will train for new German air craft.

- Trade is to be increased with Texas, so that we may recieve more oil

- Several AFVs and naval vessels are to be commissioned from various countries

- Two ocean liners are to be modified to serve as air craft carriers, while a completely new design is to be designed from scratch for future construction.

- 10 S-Class British Submarines are to be constructed

- As part of a contract with a corporation, 6 air craft factories are to be built to construct Boeing fighter planes.

From: The Carolina Republic
To: La Sérénissime République de la Nouvelle-Orléans

We have traded with your nation for quite a while now, with both of us reaping great wealth from your glorious nation. We both have strong, competent navies, but now we must ask for several ships from you. For any reasonable price you give, we would like to commission 5 battleships and 5 destroyers from your shipyards, but money is not all we will offer. As we will ask for many more ships in the future, we would hate to see any part of your country face turmoil because of attacking forces, or rebellions. So long as you allow us to commission ships and trade with you, we will assist your military forces whenever you are attacked, and protect you and your vassals from any rebels or mainland forces.

Sincerely, President John Williams.

From: The Carolina Republic
To: The Amerikanisches Reich

Though our nations have had little trade in the past, we have realized this as a mistake. You are an industrial power with access to many foreign weapons of destruction, weapons that we need for our military. It is clear that we don't share the same ideology, but we do both love money. We would like to commission 30 Panzer Is and 20 Panzer IIs, along with 30 Junkers Ju 87. We are aware that these will take time to manufacture, however, we are planning for the long term. The price is for you to decide, though we have our limit. As usual, we have phosphates for sale, which would help you improve your agricultural sector amazingly.

- Sincerely, President John Williams

From: The Carolina Republic
To: The Republic of Texas

In exchange for phosphates and monetary payment, we would like to import oil from you nation. However, we are unaware of how much and what price your barrels ask, so we would ask that that be explained, and from there, we can negotiate prices.

Sincerely, President John Williams

Mexico City

The morning sun's rays shone through the windows and faces of the residents of the capital city. The day began like any other day in the capital. Get up, brush your teeth, shower, dress, grab a quick breakfast, take the Daily Oath of Loyalty to His Excellency, and head off to work or school. This day, however, all work in the capital was put on hold. President of the United Mexican States Henry Gonzales was to deliver a message to his people, and his people loved him. Henry Gonzales was a memorable general and everybody knew he did what was best for the people. After all, the news had said he was a good man and it was well known that the media would never lie. The crowds filled the Constitution Plaza, each inch covered in eager men and women who had come from all corners of the capital (some from other parts of Mexico and others from places as far as Argentina) to hear the words of the man who promised an empire of good.
"Friends" the President started. The crowds roared in cheers and voices of happiness. The flag of Mexico flew high, but it was not as high as the patriotism in the Plaza. "For far too long, Mexico has been trampled and scammed by the West.The West has enjoyed their centuries of decadence and sin for far too long. Their words of friendship will only last for as long as it would suit them, and they pay no regard to the trail of blood they leave when they are done with us. Look at the British, how they accuse us of treachery when all we do is start to favor locally manufactured goods over their crap. Look at how they call us tyrants, when we are the ones who prepare to liberate others from tyranny, yet they hold millions in the slavery of colonialism. Look at the French, and look at their baguettes. Baguettes are a crime against Mexico on it's own. The French has interfered in our politics in the past, but that is enough for us to confirm that they are similar to the British. Same man, different language.A country plagued by what we know as being in the West, has awoken and their government rejects the sins of the West. I look forward to working with Italy, the nation who shall cleanse Europe of its sins.
"Now, it is 1936, and it shall be the first year in the Decade of Action. Cuba is being occupied by neo-westerns, and we are not the sole power in the Caribbean. It is time for an upgrade, and it is needed quickly. Our navies, air force, and armies must be equipped with the highest quality weapons and tools available on the market. Our economy must become so robust that it would take a hundred Depressions to bring it to the levels that the rest of the world faces. We need to liberate our Latin American brothers from their self-imprisoned ideology and unite them, for it will be a United Latin America which shall lead the world. The time of the West is over, and God is giving us a sign! NOW WE MUST SEIZE LATIN AMERICA AND LEAD THE WORLD INTO REVOLUTION! VIVE LA MEXICO!"
"VIVE LA MEXICO!"
With the short and mediocre speech over, the people of Mexico and the few foreigners who were present as well returned to their homes, now having a little purpose in their relatively uneventful lives.

Yucatan Labor and Reeducation Camp

"Name" the Redshirt asked.
"Miguel. Miguel Jose Lazaros."
"What did you do to come here Miguel?"
Miguel was silent at the question. He did nothing wrong in his eyes. He was just a 65 year old history professor and retired politician who wanted to teach the "truth" to kids he thought were being brainwashed by government lies. Unluckily for him, the students reported him for teaching his "revisionist history". And now he was in Yucatan.
"Revisionist history. AKA trying to brainwash kids!" the Redshirt who arrested Miguel said.
"That's sick. Just as sick as the last guy who did other nasty stuff with kids. No matter. His hands and legs work fine enough, despite the wrinkles I see. For hindering the growth of the youth, he must contribute to society something in equal measure to what he has attempted to take away." the other Redshirt said.
"Alright. He shall work with the other brainwashed losers in our Friendship Farm!"
Miguel was dragged away and given a small bag of morphine pills and a hoe.
"The morphine is your medicine and food. Take it when you are hungry and it is not time for the scheduled meals. The hoe will be your tools to use on the farm! Now go!"
Hours on the farm passed, and Miguel labored with the other brainwashed losers. First he worked so he can get to eat early. But now he had a new craving. He had to work for the morphine. It was delicious. But poor old Miguel was too old for the labor, and he collapsed and laid there. He laid there even when they shoveled dirt over him. And he laid there when they planted some seeds over the area he was buried. That was the fate of those who went against the revolution.

Helena, Montana, Montanian Empire
The Overlord was in his office, reading newspapers and being suspicious. There were news about conflicts and politics in the former US. He didn't like it. In the US were Nazis, communists and even Christian fanatics. He is not happy over it. He wanted his empire to remain untouched by these people and remain ruled by him and his loyalists.

"Damn this world" he said. "I will purify it with my philosophy and leadership."

Dakota, Montanian Empire
In the states of North Dakota and South Dakota, Dakotans struggle to live free while their states were being ruled by Montana.

In Bismarck, 12,000 dissidents were thrown into labor camps on the outskirts.

In Fargo, clashes between dissidents and government forces resulted in 840 deaths and a half of the city left in ruins. Surviving dissidents were arrested and hanged for the chaos.

In Sioux Falls, four dissidents were hanged for planning to assassinate the Overlord.

[Commonwealth of Hank the Cat]

The Virginian Empire - July 4th, 1936

Imperial Palace, Richmond, Virginia

Emperor of All the South Alex Davis I sat in his office with a number of high-ranking Virginian generals, respectively, General Bobby Ritcoth of the 3rd Legion, defenders of the West Virginian forward command post,, General Charles Cain of the 1st Legion (tasked with defending Richmond) and General George Hitchcock of the 2nd Legion, discussing military plans. All of the men were central planners during the Anglo Brothers coup of Virginia.

Davis put his hands on his desk. "It has become apparent to me that General Matthis's 5th Legion cannot maintain Border Defence Five on the border with New York alone. Along with this, I have been informed that the Carolinians are becoming concerned with the CSA to the far south." Davis cleared his throat. "Virginia is a place of civility and calm minds and God. We must serve as a good role model for the other southern nations. I am concerned that the other nations are becoming too far involved in their "roots", as in the stereotypical hick image. Virginia must prove to our...beloved, yes, brothers in the south that we must present ourselves in a dignified manner. We must send support to the "three Cs." as they refer to themselves. I would also like the 2nd legion placed at the border. I'd also like the 1st legion to head out in support of the Virginians. I will ask the Holy States of America to send support."

Davis breathed out heavily, trying to think of what he would say. "Now, I understand that we are...all concerned, to say the least, about the communists and national socialists to the North. As much as I hate to admit it, I would suggest we should, frankly, work with the Nazis. I was informed that the Nazis are developing high-grade tanks. I would like to have better armour divisions for the legions. The T2s are not reliable. I would also like to form a sixth legion to assist in defence, to serve as reinforcements."

Davis cleared his throat, nervous of what he would say. "Now, please look at these documents. These are briefings for a multi-stage recruitment campaign to increase numbers. Now, though I understand that some of you may have...problems with I am about to say. I would like to encourage a solution to bring more men into our blessed forces." Davis, starting to sweat, spoke quickly, trying to lessen to reaction he would get.

"I would like to repeal a few leftover laws, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act and repeal segregation."

The generals begun looking surprised. General Bobby spoke. "That is a outrage!"

Davis put his hand up to silence him. "Tell me, General. Where in the Holy Bible does it claim that only the white man can serve in service of the Lord?"

Bobby growled. "You are a hypocrite. First you say we must serve as a example. Then you want to bring in these dirty people from all corners of the world. What's next? Do we accept the sacacrens into our ranks? Shall I rename my legion to the Multiracial Legion of Varying Faiths?"

Davis slammed the table. "Be quiet! We will only accept foreigners who follow the One True Faith. Well, that and they must become citizens."

Cain spoke. "Explain to General Bobby what that means."

Davis thought for a moment. "That means the Orientals will have to cut their hair. I'm sure they will love it here, so it will not be a issue."

Before Bobby could continue, Cain spoke. "Actually, Emperor, since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they no longer have that hairstyle requirement. I assumed you would know more of the Chainmen's culture in-case you wanted to allow them inside Virginia."

Davis was taken aback slightly. "Oh, I was not aware of that." Davis tried to change his tone to sound more reasonable. "Look at the Holy States of America. They seem to be doing well enough."

Bobby laughed. "I thought we had more respect for our nation then being forced to compare with a foreign nation."

Davis glared at him. "I don't care what you think. I will repeal them, and we will have a great military. Think of it. We could encourage immigration by offering citizenship through military service." Davis flicked his wrist and grabbed his typewriter and begun writing. "If you do not like it, then resign."

Bobby got up and stormed out. "You will regret this, heathen-"

"General."

Bobby looked back at Davis, confused. "What?"

"How to do you spell "Tennessee?"

Bobby sighed. "Two ns, two s, and two e's, Emperor. At the end."

Davis continued typing. "Thank you, General."

Bobby looked away and began leaving. "You're welcome" he growled.

Cain looked at Davis. "You could of just told him that you wanted to use the minorities as disposal labour."

Davis looked up, offended. "I don't."

Cain rolled his eyes. "Of course, Emperor."

Davis frowned in anger. "Do you think I want the communists to turn our own men against eachother? That's how they work. If we mistreat them, they'll get bitter."

Davis looked away, back at his typewriter. "The same I told General Bobby goes for you. Get out if you don't like it."

Cain rolled his eyes once again. "I don't disagree, I understand your logic, but you only look at the Chinamen and the Africans as military recruits. If you really want to gain loyalty, read a book or something on them. Citizenship for military service makes it too obvious. Have these pamplets encourage all the labour needed for the production of factories, uh, road workers, for example. You understand?"

Davis nodded. "I do. What do you think General Bobby will do?"

Cain smirked. "I'm surprised you still refer to him on a first-name basis."

Davis stopped and looked at him. "Well, Charles, I find his last name difficult to say. You know that. Don't act all coy with me. You're better then that."

Cain dropped his smirk. "In total, I believe the esteemed General may find it difficult to work with you. He will not accept foreigners in his unit. You need to work it out with him, or he will rebel. It won't be a serious rebellion, not all his men will obey him if he tries to rebel, but it may harm your image among the people. I would suggest you simply inform him that he doesn't need to accept minorities in his unit. Just let him continue to guard the border." Cain looked at his watch. "Your meeting with the American Federation's leader is soon. I would finish your letter soon."

Davis nodded. "Thank you, general. I will speak with both of you later, addressing Cain and the silent Hitchcock.

To the Most Esteemed and Blessed Leader of
Tennnessee

Greetings,
I am the Emperor of the Holy State of Virginia.

I would like to request a diplomatic meeting between our nations. I believe a defensive pact between our nations would be a benefit to both of our nations. You are also capitalistic, but you are threatened by the presence of the communist nations such as New York and the Syndicates. I would like to make a defensive agreement in order to help defend both of our nations from the communist scourge. I am certain you understand the lies and foolishness of communism.

It is your decision, of course, but if you would like to establish a embassy, I would be more then welcome to it.

To the Most Esteemed Leader of
National Socialist American Empire

Greetings,
I am the Emperor of All the South.

I would like to request a diplomatic meeting between our nations, specifically in the mutual defence against the communist scourge. I would like to meet you on your own terms, in your capitol. I will send a diplomat. I would like to negotiate a defensive pact. I would also like to request a transfer of military vehicles for the purchase of 50-40 Panzer 1s. I would also like to offer you acces to a port in Richmond. the Richmond Deepwater Terminal, for the production of a "Deutschland-Class" Cruiser. All expenses will be paid and I will have the shipbuilders you send over fed and housed on my time.

It is your decision, of course.

To the Most Esteemed Leader of
Carolina(s)

Greetings,
I am the Emperor of Virginia.

I would like to offer you a defensive pact. It is clear that your nation has similar interests and would benefit from working together. I am aware of the insanity of Lee to the south. I would be delighted to give you support if you need it. Our Intellgence agency, God's Marines, could be sent in to spy on Lee and his government and his military. I would like to establish a embassy in your captiol. If you would like to have a embassy in mine, I would be open to it.

It is your decision, of course.

To the Most Esteemed Leader(s) of
Holy States of America

Greetings, my friend! I am the Emperor of All the South.

I would like to organize a diplomatic meeting with you. Clearly, you have seen our devotion to the Lord, and I have seen the same from you. We must establish embassies. It is our duty to spread the Word throughout this begotten land. Perhaps we could learn the secrets of what makes the HSA so successful, yes? I will speak with you later. As soon as you can, respond. I would like to have a discussion with you. If you require it, I would be more then willing to ask the National Socialists to give you some tanks, if you so require.

Nebraskan-Wyoming border

After making it clear that the Union has yet to fall and the need of reunification the President has made an executive decision to prepare for war with the state of Wyoming. The 1st Nebraskan National Cavalry regiment of 1,000 cavalry, and the 3rd National Guard Brigade of 8,000 were sent west to the Nebraskan-Wyoming border. The forces were mostly concentrated on the south end of the border to prepare the mounted spearhead and its mission to take Cheyenne the capital of Wyoming, which should lead to the capitulation of the entire state. Though it will take time the morale has been high after the speech from the President filling all the soldiers with patriotism.

Fort Omaha

The order to mobilize more troops came in after the President's speech was finished, the order to raise 5,000 more men from the reserves and to transfer 2,500 men from the air national guard to the National Guard. The Lieutenant watched over the soldiers as they trained within the old fort outside the city of Omaha.

"The men seem to be holding out well." The Lieutenant turned to the master sergeant.

"Yes sir, we will hopefully get them fully trained and ready for when the time comes."

"These men will make fine soldiers for the Union, no one will be prepared when they find out Nebraska will have a powerful force!"


Lincoln, Presidential Building

President Cochran was working as fast and as hard as he could, having to deal with an underdeveloped state even though the governing of McMullen brought much industry. He looked at the map on the wall, Nebraska in blue with the words United States (Wyoming as well but...meh too lazy to explain), the Free American Republic in green, the Montana Empire in red, the holy states to the south in yellow, and Colorado-New Mexico in orange. sighing heavily he began writing telegrams to some of the nearby nations though they are to him "rebel" states.

To the leader of the alliance of the states of Kansas and Oklahoma

We know that both of our great nations are mostly agricultural and that several states around both of our borders are out there to take what is ours for themselves. So I am proposing possibly an alliance between our two nations, we will protect each other from those that wish to see us both erased off the map. We await your response.

From President Cochran, United States of America

To the leader of the alliance of the states of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota

We wish to sign a non-aggression pact between our two nations and maybe possibly working our way into more friendly relations once the non-aggression pact has been established and agreed by both sides. We await your response.

From President Cochran, United States of America

After finishing the telegrams and having them sent he walked into the assembly where they were discussing the possibly new bill that can be put into motion.

"The Minutemen defense bill ensures that all Americans feel safe within the borders of our great nations. The current actions have been written and are to be enacted into law once the bill is passed."

Minutemen Defense Bill

1. All cities and towns under regulation of the Federal Government are allowed to form independent minutemen militia units.

2. Minutemen militia units are allowed to give their command to the Federal government voluntarily, but if the need comes the Federal Government is allowed to assume command of the minutemen militia units.

3. Minutemen Militia Units are to be armed locally by those that join or by the formed Minutemen Council.

4. The jobs of the minutemen are to be ready to defend their town, city, or the nation in but a minutes notice.

Confederate States of America
Deorum in meridie Imperator Mundi caput erigere ad opus, quod factum est ad Lee praeses Confoederationis!
Leesburg
July 4th,1936

President-Prime Minister-General-Admiral-Chief Justice Johnson Michael Lee took a muse at the state owned newspaper, The Voice of Lee, the that sat on the table. The Carolinian forces were hastily upgrading the wall,according to the local confederate patrols that noticed an increase of progress on the walls over a few days and sent the information to the papers for a pretty leeback.
"This cannot be good, It appears our neighbors are building up defenses to guard against a possible attack,probably from our trigger happy suns of bitches that want to see some action again, as if the civil war wasn't bloody enough, eh?!"
With a deep sigh, the door opened as two aides entered with a cup of coffee and a bowl of toast.
"Kitchen says we don't got no plates,hope ya won't mind."
"No, not at all, It's quite alright,can you tell them that when you get back down?"
"Sure bass."
As the plates of food were laid out on the oak table,the aides suddenly brightened up and handed a paper to Lee, with a decorative edge around the letter. Opening it up,Lee smiled at it's contents.
"Nouvelle-Orelans wishes for me to attend supper at their place,I want my plane packed up and readied to go, I shall arrive there within short notice!"
"Sir, who will be in charge in your absence?"
Lee looked up blankly, he had forgotten who he had put in charge of the nation.
"Um, Butch I believe, he's my running mate this year, and keep a close eye on him, he may try to grab power or something while I am gone."
"Yes sir."
With a curt nod, Lee stood up from the chair slurping on his coffee and began to rummage through his clothes for something to wear.

To: Dogaresse Llewelyn of New Orleans
From:President-Prime Minister-General-Admiral-Chief Justice Johnson Michael Lee of the Confederate States of America

My honored friend, I would be more than Happy to attend a dinner in New Orleans to discuss the needed matters of defense and trade with your prosperous nation. I intend to see to it that the talks between our two sovereign states are as smooth as a baby's ass.

An old General saluted as he entered the room,merely nodding at Lee.
"President-General, I request to speak with you in private."
With a small shake of his head, he merely replied.
"Of course,General Taylor, everyone else, get the hell out of here."
As the room emptied to the two of them,the General and Lee sat down behind the desk,with Lee moving over to a cupboard behind the desk,opening up via the hinges and revealing two cups and a bottle of brandy.
"It's from my personal collection,1886 Atlanta Brandy,the finest in the south."
As the liquid was poured into the two glasses and handed to the general,the men lounged back into their chairs.
"Now then, what is it you wish to discuss?"
"I have come here to speak with you about the possible Invasion of Florida, I'd say that such a move would secure the navy more ports that will get them to shut the hell up about not having enough time devoted to them. If we can get those ports for our ships, it will enable our naval forces to be within striking range of the Caribbean sea, and we can make that arena into a virtual playground given enough time and resources for our naval units already under construction. What is key is the securing of the Northern Panhandle and perhaps in the near future a direct strike to secure those Alabaman and Mississippian coasts that we lack. I have this plan envisioned in my head: we shall land naval forces on the Eastern coast of Florida, once that is done a main army will move in and link with them near Jacksonville ,there we will push west until the Panhandle is firmly under Confederate Control, then we will hold the line,as that is all we would really need in a war, the Panhandle for a bigger coastal yard for the navy."
"That will require our entire navy and around 30,000 total soldiers for the assault on Jacksonville, I shall go over these plans myself,critique them and hand them back over to you in the morning, if you really are for the invasion of Florida, then I will go along with it."
With a quick salute and chug of the brandy, Taylor left the room.

As the light breeze filled the air, A noisy car roared through the streets,blasting it's small crew of two sub machine gunners and inviting the many bullets into the nearby corner store,forcing Jason to duck like the wind and cradle his shotgun he soon fumbled with like a baby trying to eat a coke bottle made of slimy chrome like soldiers.
"Leesus M. John! Hey Tanti, get your horse ready, we're goin t' kill us some rebels!"
With a drunken gasp heard from the back, the two men set off after the men, crossing the boarder and firing their guns like mad men on horses, which is what they were.
"Someone shoot those bastards!"
With plenty of curses still fresh from his lips, he blasted away with the shotgun at the fleeing car,blasting one of the tires out and slowing the vehicle down. When the two men dismounted from their noble steed, they stared out at the busted up automobile.
"Consider that bastard licked, now let's go." With a quick shove of a stick, the two men got back on the horse and began to trot back to the boarder town, much to the cheers of the local Georgians that were jubilantly celebrating in the streets.
"Well shit, we're heroes now."

The California Republic

July 1936

The Republic of California, one of the greatest nations to be birthed from the United States, was in a flourishing period of culture and wealth. With the weakness and fall of the central government, the State of California and military sympathizers absorbed the majority of the Pacific fleet and all military installations in the state. In the uncertainty of the following years, strongman President Frederick Williamson, persuaded Nevada to integrate into the stronger Californian state. The military strength from California and Nevada was inherited to create one of the strongest militaries west of the Mississippi. With the tensions in the east growing, alignment went towards the pro-Unionist north. Because Williamson believed in the Greater United States? Because he cared for the states in the northeast and midwest? No. In all honesty, the largest concern was curbing the power of the states around him, in particularly, Texas. Another emerging nation that could curb Californian influence in the west.

Frederick Williamson, in order to keep ahead of his neighbors, signed in new acts to development of the nation. In order to pass these acts, Williamson and his lackeys perpetuated the fears of foreign domination, to uphold his leadership and the military and industrial plans. A strong economy makes for a strong military, and a strong military represented a strong nation.

National Strengthening plans enacted, ratified by the Californian National Congress.

- Manufacturing sites are to be constructed in the Nevada state for the production of aircraft and continued production of armored vehicles, small arms, and gun pieces.

- Armored forces shall be increased from the size of 60 tanks to 100 tanks within 3 months. Locomotive and automotive plants in California shall be contracted for the production of tanks.

-The air force shall be increased from the size of 400 planes to 900 planes of within 5 months. A number of industries shall be converted for the purpose of aircraft production

- Mare Island Naval Shipyard and San Francisco Naval Shipyard shall commence the construction of two aircraft carriers within the next year, one at each shipyard; and the construction of 5 destroyers and 2 cruisers within a 6 month period for the purpose of strengthening the Grand Fleet of California.

- The Chinese Exclusion Act shall be revoked

As the acts were being finished off. A thought came to mind of Williamson, concerning those in the northeast. While their army and navy were not a threat, it was their aerial forces that concerned him. Perhaps they could come to an agreement, however. One that benefit both in the long run, as friendly neighbors, having his foreign minister write out the telegram.

Foreign Department of the California Republic
To the Foreign Department of the American Worker's Republic

From the birth of our nations from the demise of the Union, we both find ourselves in a similar goal to live in peaceful coexistence with the rising former states. In the pursuit of our goals present an invitation for the formal opening of Diplomatic Relations, and a meeting in person, between both heads of state. We hope that we will aid each others efforts in the foreseeable future.
- Elsie Burton, Foreign Minister of the California Republic

Austin, The Republic of Texas

"So Mister Johnson, we're advancing our research in the field of our aircraft. So, our newest Dive Bomber, the ST-74's are done with their Prototype testing, and are ready for deployment in a regular production sir. With this, we're going to be adding that to our Airforce Streagnth and continued development." The head Engineer of the Texan Air Services said as he waved a folder containg all the details of recent Texan Projects.

With the development of the New Fighter, it came in line with other recent developments in the Texan Military. 500 of these new Dive Bombers were to be ordered into construction now that testing was compleated. Also, more testings were going on among the other branches. Most notably the Carrier in Houston under construction.

To: The Carolina Republic
From: The Republic of Texas
We're selling our oil for $1.10 per barrel, if you would so like to know. If you so wish to begin exporting to Carolina from Texas, our Nation is more than happy top oblige. We're always willing to export, and Texan oil is availble to you oue friend. If you want anything else to trade, we're also willing to oblige. Good day.

"Well, by God! We're a year out from finisahing this beauty off! This is looking to bring in a lot of use, and the company will love the new profit." Commented Robert Trotzky, head of the Lone Star Ships ship construction company, which was based in Houston. It was also working on 5 more Submarines, 4 Cruisers, and 2 Cruisers.

The Carrier was another part of the Texan expansion of it's military, and then there was the fact more battleships were planned in coming years. Plus, there was the bringing business to Houston, becoming 'the city' to aspire to go to if you were in Texas. It wasn't the only port, but it was the biggest by far. It was the second largest city in the American South, and was gaining a lot of attention for the Goverment to make it the Nation's poster boy of sorts.

Dear President Cochran, my state is an empire seated in Helena. I am it's Overlord. I look forward with the non-aggression pact. We do have a strong military and have a need for territory. Anyway, we accept it as long as no war occurs between us. A lot of lives would be lost if it occurs.

Sérénissime République de la Nouvelle-Orléans ・ Louisiane ・ Nouvelle Orléans • Paroisse d'Orléans

A few days after the meeting in which it was proposed to enhance diplomatic relations with the CSA, Doge Beaumont received an extremely confidential communication from the Carolinas, dictating a plan which was to be discussed at the day’s meeting.

“I apologise for calling both of you at such short notice, but I've received an offer we'd be fools to refuse,” he said, beginning to smile maniacally, “I've been in contact with the Carolinas, and we've reached an agreement on dealing with the CSA. However, we are also not to cancel our meeting with the President Lee, as I have devised a plan that is sure to work. Noticing striking similarities between President Lee and our own governor Huey Long, I've taken it upon myself to begin training him to act as President Lee.”

At this point, Doge Beaumont’s voice had lowered to a loud whisper

“Once we've assassinated him, we can send Governer Long in to impersonate Lee. With his training, he should be able to pull it off at least long enough to command their troops into Carolinian traps. While most of the troops are up north, we can then send troops through multiple entrance points to flank the enemy soldiers, and catch them off guard. We ought, however, to maintain our border defences with Texas to the full of our ability, as they are becoming increasingly aggressive, though I suspect their military reports are inflated to some degree, as it is physically impossible to do what the reports swiped by a one of our spies claim that Texas has done. This is the main part of our war plan. Also, Doge Lillian, if you could, I'll need you to get him while he's eating dinner. I'm sure you'll be able to get that done for us. That being said, as our army forces are beginning to seem lacklustre, I've sent out orders to begin the recruitment and training of 3,000 more soldiers for our army within the next 11 weeks. After that, I hope to train more. That, alongside their rigorous training for agility and stamina in our swamps, should prepare them to stand against most threats. Furthermore, I have begun negotiations to purchase 10 tanks from France, including 9 Renault R 35s, and one Char D2. With these additions in the next few months, we may hopefully see a more powerful land force, which is an area we have not been as adept in as some of our neighbours.”

---

One Week Later
The nation’s mobilisation efforts had gone as planned, and, just in time for Lee’s visit, the armed forces were nearly mobilised. 40,000 men across the nation boarded trains to head to the bases near the border with the CSA, and the numbers were likely to swell further as war approached.

Despite this, the impending war, as planned, was to be a complete surprise for the enemy, so not a single civilian who was not part of the upper government workings was told. As a result, the hustle and bustle of the capital, New Orleans, was anything but frantic. Rather, people rushed back and forth in a proud and joyous way, proud and thankful to be a part of a nation that was so keen on keeping the populace happy and prosperous, one that did everything in its power to keep the status quo beneficial for all.

In the meantime, at the Lakefront Airport, Dogaressa Llewelyn stepped from her automobile, and entered the airport, where President Lee was expected at any moment. She, more so than usual, had a very good reason to arrive early, as she had no mind to let such opportunities as had been presented to New Orleans.

Wyoming-Nebraskan border

The order was given to begin the push into Wyoming, after preparing for some time now the troops began marching quickly into the lands of the State. the 1st Nebraskan Cavalry Regiment follows by the 4th Nebraskan National guard regiment made their spearhead to Cheyenne, the cavalry riding ahead to reach the city . Along the rest of the line limited fighting between the Wyoming militia and Nebraskan National guard Brigade, both sides suffering casualties though Wyoming being in slightly less numbers and less equipment trying to use their AA guns against the advancing National Guards only to be taken out by Nebraskan Artillery. Being unable to hold off the Nebraskan troops due to the sudden attack the Wyoming forces were forced to retreat, several hundreds surrendered to the advancing forces and were properly disarmed and shipped to the closest town in Nebraska to be held with humane treatment, with Nebraskans following the "We are all Americans policy".

Initial Losses in the Wyoming-American War of Restoration.

Wyoming: 475 losses 284 wounded 396 POWs

Nebraska: 267 losses, 537 wounded

Lincoln, De facto Capital of the United States
Presidential Buidling

President Cochran was worried with the upcoming presidential elections, the polls were showing the Republicans with a slight lead over the Democrats in popularity, the Union First now with the reunification war moving in on it to gain more power, and the Syndicalists gaining popularity in the farmers and laborers. He was afraid that they will tear down his path for Nebraska and possibly restoring the Union. But he had more important things to deal with, such as the possibility of being invaded by those with armored vehicles and the National Guard having no weapons to defend itself with. He sat back down and began typing an order to a brewery and to the trade nation of Louisiana.

To: Leader of the State of Louisiana
From: President Robert Cochran of the United States

I wish to inform you of wishing to be able to import 500 to 1000 Anti-tank rifles from the country of Poland. payment will be made in both currency and in goods we are capable of transporting to you. We will be expecting the weapons as soon as possible and that we hope we can further increase our relations so that our further trades may be profitable.

To: The CEOs of Metz and Storz Breweries
From: President Robert Cochran of the United States

I President of the United States wish to give you a contract to turn some of your breweries into making firebombs capable of being thrown by our men out in the front and being able to eliminate hostile fortifications and possible mobile tanks. I expect that once a solution is found that you begin using half of your brewing capabilities into making these new Firebombs. God bless you and your service to the nation.

The Carolina Republic
August 1st, 1936

Charleston, South Carolina

The ports were buzzing with activity as a shipment from one of the Northern industrial states had shipped various military weapons and raw industrial material to the Carolina Republic. The Carolinas and Cuba were skilled when it came to agriculture and textiles, of course, but they lacked the raw resources to engage in mass production. But thanks to a recent trade, they had plenty of resources to begin, and moe would come. All they needed to do was ship food and textiles to them, and the resources would keep coming.

The various workers at the port slowly but surely unloaded the various tanks and planes that had arrived as well. The North was in need of food and textiles while they also supported the Carolinas as a republic. Because of this, they were very generous about what they gave the Three C's. They had received 80 M2 tanks, 12 Tupolev ANT-40s, and 12 Curtiss P-36 Hawk. The planes themselves would be shipped via railroad to the Charlotte Air Field so that they could be used if ever needed, while the tanks would be shipped off to a military base in Moncks Corner for usage in training their tank crews for combat. The raw resources themselves would be useful in ship building but also for the creation of local tanks and air planes, which would also create jobs for native Carolinians and help the economy.

Capitol of the Military, Charlotte, NC

The Air Force's demands for more planes had finally been answered, and more were to come thanks to a new stream of trade. But now, they had more pressing matters on their hands: Lee.

"Lee has stated his intents to invade Florida, but if we are to overwhelmly invade him, it would be wise to take the land that border him in Florida. We can perform a pincer movement and close in on Leesburg from two sides, therefore making it harder for him to retreat. He will have to redirect forces, and will find it difficult to escape our grasp. With troops from New Orleans and Tennessee attacking from various other angles, his forces will be spread thin. His regime will crumble and Georgia and Alabama will be ours to control," General J. D. Davis states, resting in an ornate chair while drinking Pepsi. It was born in the Carolinas, after all, so it was the unofficial national drink of the Carolina Republic.

"We will send 3 transport ships containing a total of 6,000 men to Nassau County, Florida, and invade from there. There will be an escort of 7 cruisers in case Lee tried to pull anything, however, if he does, it should be no issue. Our navy is larger than his and we will have an excuse to completely wipe his out, which we could do now if it were not for our plan with New Orleans. Other than that, we shall dispatch them immediately," Admiral Pickens adds, sitting in a similar chair and drinking the same soda.

Military Report

- 680 tanks, 12 fighters, and 12 bombers

- 6,000 troops and their equipment are being carried to Nassau, Florida in 3 transport ships, guarded by 6 cruisers. They will arrive within two days.

Three days later
Fernandina Beach, Florida

Upon arriving in Nassau County, the First South Carolina Regiment managed to take out most threats with relative ease. The abundant instability and corruption in Florida made the citizens supportive of being annexed by the Carolina Republic, which was well known for being the Southern state with the most civil rights and political freedoms, while also having plenty of stability and jobs to go around.

The men under Colonel Gadsden were exploring the city to look out for any potential rebels, but in actuality, they were just using it as an excuse to interact with the locals. Any possible threats had been killed upon their landing, and even then, it wasn't much of a challenge as the Floridian military was weak and unorganized. Colonel Gadsden himself was at the county council building in Fernandina Beach, saluting the flag as it rose, with the flag of his regiment standing below it, and speaking to the people who had gathered.

"These people have been freed from instability and corruption by you, the brave soldiers of the Carolina Republic. This county is only the first of many that we shall take, and with the help of New Orleans, the entire state shall fall under the benevolent protection of the Caribbean Powers. We from Carolina have come here for a greater people, for a greater republic, for a Greater Carolina!" The Colonel shouted, as a crowd of people cheered, mostly soldiers with a few civilians. There weren't many people in this town, and the state overall wasn't very sparely populated. As a matter of fact, this county alone only had a handful of people, which would make the invasion of neighboring counties much easier later on.

Battle of Nassau County Summary & Statistics

- The cruisers escorting the three transportation ships fired on the shores of the county for ten minutes. killing 17 civilians and injuring 25. 150 soldiers were stationed on the beach, resulting in 56 deaths and 43 injuries.

- The three transports unload the men and their equipment onto Fernandina Beach and 500 Carolinian soldiers are deployed to secure the shores. 23 are killed and 41 injured, and 39 more Floridian soldiers are killed, with 12 more injuries. The remaining troops in the city surrender.

- The Carolinian soldiers unpack their equipment on the shores and enter the city. The civilians put up no notable resistance, and allow the soldiers to continue without harm.

- 1,000 Carolinian soldiers stay in the city to guard it while the rest spread out to invade the rest of the county. 67 Carolinian soldiers die, while 105 are injured. 83 Floridian troops die, while 120 are injured. Under the promise of fair treatment, the remaining Floridian soldiers surrender, under the control of Colonel Alabaster.

Total casualty count:
- 178 Floridian troops killed
- 175 Floridian troops injured
- 90 Carolinian troops killed
- 146 Carolinian troops injured
- 17 Floridian civilians killed
- 25 Floridian civilians injured

Results:

- 622 Floridian soldiers surrendered to invading Carolinian forces
- Decisive Carolinian Victory, Nassau County officially declared part of the Carolina Republic.

Deorum in meridie Imperator Mundi caput erigere ad opus, quod factum est ad Lee praeses Confoederationis!
Leesburg
July 11th,1936

Vice President Taylor Nathaniel Butch sat in his less glamorous office of Acting President,which he had been condemned to because of Lee's hasty departure,He remembered this office was built before the untimely resignation of President Murphee in 1930,and now here he was looking over some documents with lee's horrible signature that amounted to nothing more than chickenshit on a roadside barrel of corn. Struggling with the shoddy penmanship, he tossed the paper out to the scuttle that sat next to his door, something that Lee had installed in his one month as acting president with this room. Lee must have murmured something about Butch's lust for power or something along those lines,because with a quick peek outside the window there had turned out to be nearly seventy soldiers wearing the classic dark shoulder strap emblazoned with the words L.L.G.
The Lee Loyalty Guards, the secret police of the confederacy which had tormented hundreds of people a year in the South.
"Damn LLG,can't let a man cross the street at night without fear of being kidnapped by them,or god forbid write an anti government piece of propaganda." He murmured in the office as the doors suddenly opened to three soldiers who handed him a record of the Confederate Arms industrial progress for the week:

Confederate Arms Industrial Weapons and Munitions Progress report for the week of July 4th-July 11th,1936
30 X M2-Carter Tanks
32 X 4.7 inch naval guns
100 X 4.7 inch naval shells
200 browning .303mm machine guns
20,000 Lee Mark I Version 1917 Rifles
2,000,000 bullets of .30-06 Springfield ammo
Signed Confederate States of America Ministry of Defense Larry Chester

"This Report says we're going to be putting in an order of two hundred thousand bullets for the rifles,but none for the machine guns,what the darn blazes are we thinking?"
"Perhaps Lee is expecting our men to throw the Machine guns like a sphere or wield them like swords."
"That man's a damn lunatic,that's fer sure,Anyways I give you my fucking stamp of approval,now get out of my face."
"Yes sir."
With a firm meaty salute up the potato's proliferated egg salad old spice banana container, the soldiers leapt out of the nearby window screaming like lunatics before being caught on a trampoline.
"It's amazing these soldiers are so feared, they seem like fucking insane bastards." Butch scowled as he took a cigar out from his desk and lit it, sucking on it like a baby with his pacifier, blowing out smoke everywhere.

Birmingham,Alabama
July 10th,1936
81 year old retired store clerk Mark Louis tapped his foot to the lightly playing jazz music on the radio as he waited in line with the other hundred odd people to practice their right at democracy in the Confederacy.
"Next!"
The Line shuffled forwards and Louis found himself face to face with a younger looking woman that had a glazed over,"I've been doing weed" kind of look in her eyes.
"Name."
"Mark Louis,from Elmore County."
With a hasty flip of a few pages, she handed him out a pen, with a scribble that turned into his name on the paper as he was handed a ballot. With a shuffle of his feet, he entered a booth protected by a curtain and peered at the choices on the page, smiling broadly, he picked the second option and dropped the ballot into the box with a satisfied thud.

WHO DO YOU WANT TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA:
Johnson Michael Lee(LUP):()
Travis Kimball Lee (LN):(X)
Brandon Johnson Lee (LP):()
Kyler Loretta Lee (LB&LP):()

As he made his way outside the booth, he noticed an increasingly growing mob of people with signs and weapons, the Local police force merely standing by as they hurled insult after insult at the building. Louis then walked up to one of them and questioned:
"What the hell is going on here?"
"This votin booth'll gaurentee Lee's defeat dis year, an we don wan dat t' happen maite, dat's whai we is ag'wan burn it down."
"You can't do that, that's illegal and an affront to democracy!"
"Demacracy? Hell, Demacracy don't mean shit if we don't win."
"I'll stop you, go away and let us contr-"
"He is doggan usin fancy werds, kill em and burn the place t' d grand!"
Within moments Louis felt as if he had been hit with a large log square in the stomach, he collapsed on the ground as several jeering people cheered as the Polling Station began to burn to the ground. With a few deep breaths, he managed to stumble off in the smoke and chaos, and slowly head for home.
"I need to leave this hell hole of the south."

Folkston
Georgian-Floridian Boarder
25 year old soldier and former auto mechanic from Atlanta Taylor Mannings loaded up his Lee Mark I Version 1917 Rifle with it's 6 round clip,hearing it click firmly into place in the magazine. He was part of the 3rd Alabaman Infantry Regiment,nearly 1,400 soldiers strong and sprinkled throughout the once sleepy Georgian boarder town and now a bustling military hub of operations. He looked at his stop watch, 0659 hours, the attack would begin soon. A Loud Fart through a tube was heard as a firework was lit off through the sky. The Signal to attack!
"Forwards! For Lee and Country!"
A noisy sound was heard to his left, taking a peek, he noticed a lumbering Machine that roared forward, spewing smoke in it's path as it slowly rumbled up into battle. Reluctantly, he left the cover of the stone wall he had been using and decided to enter out into the open, in perfect view for any mad as hell farmer or rancher with a rifle and steady aim to let some shells fly at them.
"Contact Left, Take Cover and provide suppressing fire!"
He hastily noticed a ditch in the corner of his eyes, with a rumble in his stomach, he decided to trust his gut feeling and made a run for the trench like mother nature structure.
RATATATA
only to be cut down by a bullet into the thin helmet he had been wearing. As he laid there motionless, he smiled happily at the thoughts of Lee, his savior.
"I am coming Father Lee, please you wait."
With that, he went up to join Father Lee in the clouds as the battle continued on.

Lakefront Airport
New Orleans,Louisiana
President-Prime Minister-General-Admiral-Chief Justice Johnson Michael Lee Felt the Plane shudder to a halt as he slowly began to get off from his ass and go outside of the plane being caught off guard by the sheer amount of sunlight that mother nature could throw at him on any given day. The four guards stepped off the plane first, saluting Lee as he made his way down the steps and noticing the two flags of the Confederacy and Louisiana waving in the wind. He enjoyed the fine breeze of the south's air as he entered the Airway lobby, marveling at the sight of running water, something he had not seen in an hour with his painfully slow plane ride over to their neighboring nation. He then noticed a lady that was sitting on a chair.
"Ah, you must be the lady that I need to meet with to do the one thing that will also do the diplomatic mambo jambo with the kitty kats on Neptune! So good to see you,now, shall we skip the pleasantries and be off to meet the rest of your high command mcbullshit peopleistans?"*
*what lee is thinking:(I haven't been slapped yet and it's been thirty one seconds since eye contact! This is a new personal record!)

Atlantic Ocean
Admiral Charles Montey Poured a cup of coffee from his position on the bridge of the Armored Cruiser Jackson. The Confederate naval commander had seen a lot in his over thirty plus years of experience,and now He was sailing some of the older ships in the fleet, the Armored Cruisers and four destroyers,leaving wisely the newest ships in the fleet behind at port as more vessels were being prepared,such as the Ocean liners he spotted a week prior. An officer came out onto deck,much to Montey's relief, he wanted company to talk to him.
"Y'wanna smell that fresh sea breeze with me?"
"No sir, orders from Headquarters, we are to set off Southward and to prepare a Marine Detachment-"
"We have no marines, we have around two hundred sailors that we can spare from this ship, the Montgomery and the other destroyers in our flotilla,Who authorized the deployment?"
"Lee himself, just before he left for Louisiana."
"I see, Inform all ships to come about 90 degrees, we shall chart a course to the Port of Jacksonville,and increase speed to full."
"Yes sir!"
With that, he went back to his delicious caffeine substance as the insentient shouting on board all the ships of the fleet, whistles from their commanding officers and annoying squeaks from the seagles combined into a soothing sound of sleepiness.

Texan 'Diplomacy'- The Outskirts of Denver

A force of 40,000 Texan troops had been deployed in a plan known as operation Delta. The Texans had entered the CNM, with the intent of establishing a friendly government in power. The Texan Air Service began landing its Aircraft in CNM Airbases, establishing Texan control over them.

Texan forces occupied all Military installations, major cities, and were now in the Capital. Texan General Austin Long had a treaty to which the CNM was to sign............or suffer the consequences.

The man walked into Presidents Margaret Johnson office with two Texan Soldiers flanking him, and five squads of soldiers going throughout the building, going throughout the Government's files. "Hello miss Johnson, I hope our coming here won't cause too much ruckus. Unfortunately there's going to be some changes we're implementing." Said General Long as hel pulled out a treaty which the Texan President said was to be signed.

In accordance to this treaty, the CNM agrees to its now subjective relations to the Republic of Texas. In accordance with this treaty, multiple clauses will me mad:

1- 40,000 Texan troops will be stationed in the CNM

2-The Military limit of the CMN is 10,000 men.

3- The CNM can only have 100 Aircraft.

4- The CNM is not permitted to have Bomber Aircraft.

5- The CNM Military is only able to possess 50 Tanks.

6- The Texan Secret Services will be established in the CNM.

7- Texas has the right to call upon the CNM's man power, and resources in any war it fights.

8- Any and all communist sympathies are to be purged from the CNM.

9- Texan Buisness is unlimited to come to the CNM

10- The CNM answers to the Texan government.

11- The CNM is allowed to maintain it's Automany, and make laws as long as said laws do not Conflict with Texan interests.
