Republic of Bushistan

The **Republic of Bushistan**, or simply the **Bushistan Republic** or just **Bushistan**, is one of the micronations that became a full nation in North Columbus of Usonia located close to South Columbus. It started out as a micronation when the first wave of the apocalypse ended but it is now an official nation that is recognize and affiliated with the United Confederacy of Exiles.

## History

During the first wave of the apocalypse, Aidan Pierce with Cael, Rider and Mitch created their own nation when the world was falling apart with some assistance from a few Wesen and some aliens that are actually Avatars that weren't infected by the alien parasite against the Chimera from Resistance, zombies and the Confederate soldiers of the American Civil War. But it took a few days to set up when they not only have to deal with everything in Mississippi, they also had to draft and ratify the constitution with Aidan being voted as the first president.

But when the second phase came, everyone was booted out by force and relocated on Usonia in the Cascadia Galaxy in the real universe. Although, it was a little bit of a blessing. Much of the environment is rather similar to Mississippi along with the animals but also have a few other sub-tropical animals such as capybaras, zebras, sika deer and other such animals that use a land bridge that appears during the winter seasons to migrate to South Columbus.

At some point, Bushistan joined the United Confederacy of Exiles.

## Society & Culture

Amongst the human population, there are many Irish and German humans along with Arabs and Nigerian-Africans. There are also many forms of alien species that are integrated with the human populace such as Gems, Vortigaunts, Twi'leks, and many more along with the Wesen. So it is mostly sci-fi with some elements from Irish, German, Arabian, and Nigerian cultures combined with Gem and Twi'lek to create their own unique form of culture.
