People's Protection Front (Confederation)

The People's Protection Front, also called the union or the PPF is an political and military alliance between the states signed in the Treaty of Whitebridge. Preceded by the territories of the east coast, the nation is formed out of surviving PPF members to rebuild the classic United States. 
The PPF oversees many micro-states, settlements, and protectorates that are within the sphere-of-influences, like the State of Louisa and the contested area of New England. Similarly structured like NATO or the later reformed Coalition, the PPF has a centralized army and government.
== Confederacy ==
There are a total of seven states (or more accurately, countries) in the confederacy, Florida Republic, New Georgia, Carolina, Whole Virginia, Jersey-Maryland, Pennsylvania, and York Federation. These states are all independent from each other, except for what is outline in the Treaty of Whitebridge.
The states also all share a common dollar, the Confederacy Dollar (sometimes called the Continental Dollar). It ranges from $1 to $100, and coins ranging from 5¢ to $1.
== Leadership ==
The Board of the Confederacy the head of government in the PPF, and then divided into two houses: the People's Upper and Lower house. Elections take place every four years for seats in the board and two houses, with people in the lower house not having term limits. To avoid future catastrophe, senators to the People's Upper House are term-limited to three terms, and the board four. The first election to take place began on November 19th, 2023 and ended on November 22nd, 2023. Votes were counted throughout, and senators were elected into their seats established a day later.
This means the next election to take place will be in 2027. For a upper house senator elected when the confederacy was established, they could be in office until the year election year of 2035.
== Mission ==
As part of the NAAPD's mission to rebuild a New America, the Board of Confederacy has explicitly stated that they would support the rebuilding of the Wickeds, however the PPF is a independent confederation that would accept new member states. They would not however seize to exist if the War of the Wickeds to be resolved.
=== Expansion and Separation ===
With the mission of the People's Protection Front, there are occasional talks of expansion by individual states or admissions of new ones into the confederacy union. However, with the existence of the confederacy, many separatist movements have formed. Expansion has been considered by nations individually, with Florida taking a passive route in allowing settlements or tribes outside of their borders into the state. Carolina, on the other hand, actively sends out more and more military west to expand. Jersey-Maryland has made a large navy to expand and support their trade, while the others remain localized and do not plan on expanding.
Just like there are separatist movements in the PPF, there are additional expansionist movements in the union.
=== Distancing from CSA ===
The People's Protection Front often calls itself a confederacy, because all of the member states are all sovereign, voluntary members of the confederation. However, it has led to confusion and distaste from many for ties of the CSA. In attempts to do this, certain member states, like New Georgia, have destroyed confederate officer statues—sometimes in vast and expressive ways.
