Lone Star Confederation

**The Lone Star Confederation**, also known as the Lone Star State, The Confederation, or just Lone Star, is a confederation of Texan cities.

## History

The Confederation started out as a defensive alliance between Abilene and Carbon due to the Texas Brotherhood's growing power in the east, and the Legion's growing power in the north. This alliance later extended to the cities of Lubbock, Angel and Chita. In 2273 the five cities agreed to a confederation between them, cementing their power in central Texas. They united with the Texas Brotherhood as the Brotherhood's job was finished in the area. Later as Jacius's Legion grew in power, southern Texan cities felt threatened by them and decided to join with the confederation one at a time.

## Government

The Lone Star Confederation's government works by each city electing its own mayor and from their the leaders of each city get one vote to vote on important matters. Though one person stands out above the others, Jerry Roth, the Mayor of Dallas. Jerry is very influential in getting the other cities to vote with him, he generally wants the best for the state but wishes for more power.

## Military

Like many other countries the Lone Star State splits its forces into different sects.

### Rangers

The Rangers are very similar to the NCR Rangers of the west but these Rangers are more skilled in hip shooting and horse riding than their western counterparts. While they mostly listen to their own chain of command they ultimately answer to the Lone Wolf himself, Jerry Roth.

### Mustangs

The Mustangs are former Brotherhood Paladins and Knights. They still use laser weapons and power armor, but they have a slight "cowboy" flare to their armor. Often colored in dark greens and browns, the Mustangs are a lot stealthier than other power armor users. The Mustangs are lead by General Romulus, his father was the last Elder of the Texas Brotherhood before they were absorbed by Lone Star.

## Relations

### Legion

Lone Star is very anti-legion, often getting into small skirmishes with The Legion on a number of occasions

### NCR

Though no trading has been done with the NCR due to the Legion being in the way the Confederation still has a fairly good opinion of California. Even if California can sometimes be seen as the giant of the west that should be stopped.

### Mid-Western Brotherhood

Lone Star has okay relations with the Mid-Western Brotherhood since many of Lone Star's high ranking members used to be part of the Texas Brotherhood.

### Tribes of Oklahoma

Lone Star sees the tribes as potential member states of its confederation. While Lone Star has different relations with each tribe they are generally viewed as forceful tyrants.

### Red Rose Republic

Though little contact has been made the Confederation sees the Republic as a smaller version of itself for the most part. But they see the President position as strange since they have so much power for so little time.

### Union of Georgia

The Lone Star Confederation respects the strength and power of the Union of Georgia. The Lone Star also sees parts of itself in the Union especially is similarity in absorbing a Brotherhood faction, but still sees the Union as potentially too expansionist and dangerous.

### Florida Enclave

The Confederation has fairly negative relations with any Enclave faction due to their Brotherhood history, but are willing to see past this if the Florida Enclave proves itself as valuable to the Lone Star State.

### New York Enclave

After contact with the New York Enclave, the Lone Star has deemed the New York Enclave as non-hostile but are still worried about their capabilities.

### Remington

Lone Star is currently trying to get Remington to become another member of the confederation and so has very good relations and trading with them.
