American Confederate States (TUE)

**Dev. Status** | Conceptual

*Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,*

*That saved a wretch like me.*

*I once was lost but now I'm found,*

*Was blind, but now, I see.*

- Amazing Grace - often sung by Confederate citizens and soldiers during the Alien Wars
The **United Christian Confederated States of North America**, **Confederated States of America** (**CSA**) or **American Confederate States** (**ACS**), or just **Confederates** is a minor/major faction of the Concordiatverse within "The Universal Emergency" multiverse. Currently-recognised government of the Remnants of America following the Alien Wars and the occupation of the majority of Northern America by the Fylkirate. Controlling the South, elements of the Midwest and Northeast as well as Mexico and colonies in Cuba and the Carribbean, the Confederates seek to return to the glorious America they commanded before the collapse of the Directorate, the Alien Wars and the rise of the Fylkirate into a truly global power. The CSA emerged victorious from a brutal and bloody American Civil War defeating the Union through a combination of grit, determination and material and technological support from the Directorate. The CSA would then go on to join the Directorate and become its eighth nation. Having withdrawn from the Directorate following its disintegration in the aftermath of the Alien Wars, the Confederates now stand as the last Directorate nation in the face of enemies both new and old. The rise of the Concordiat in the place of the Directorate, the spread of the Fylkirate across Northern America and the emergence of internal revolt in the form of the Unionists has forced the Confederate leadership in Atlanta to reevaluate their view on the world and both isolate themselves more from the 'lesser peoples' who infect every continent

Whilst not as numerous as it's enemies, Atlanta eyes Northern America as it's next target to once again bring about it's Manifest Destiny and prepares the men and women of America for the next great war. From the open plantation fields, to the dense industrial quarters of the Confederate States, the drums of war now beat. Ford and Lee tanks roll off the production line almost hourly and both Citizens and Slaves enrol themselves in service, seeking to defend the last true bastion of Order, Civilisation and Religion.

The Confederated States of America will ensure its survival and its Armoured Divisions and great fleets of the Air and Sea shall carve a new order into the history books. A new order where America shall stand tall and proud, and its enemies smited by her holy wrath.

### Infantry

Armed with a heavy LMG, shoulder-mounted grenade launcher, left armed scattergun and Confederate flag, the AP assaults enemy fortifications with fervour and faith, preaching lines from the gospel. As a secondary, the AP can launch gas grenades designed to degarrison enemy buildings whilst its scattergun decimates enemy infantry.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Confederated States of America draws inspiration from a variety of sources including both the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave from Fallout, the American Confederacy from European Conflict and the United Republic from March of War. Patriotic and Religious to the core, the Confederates worship their victory in the American Civil War and have deified many of their war heroes both as religious figures, as well as naming many of their weapons of war after the heroes of the Confederacy. A bastion of Christianity beset by godless Unionists and Pagan Norse, religion and patriotism seeps to the core of the Confederacy and can be found across the entirety of Confederate Society- whether in building/unit names, unit dialogue or inscribed upon buildings and vehicles.

* Ideologically the ACS draws from the ideas of the IRL-CSA in terms of carving out a Christian nation guided by Christian Principles and Values. Whilst Xenophobia and WASP values dictate the sentiment of the Confederacy to a large extent, and the Episcopal Church, as well as other Protestant groups hold sway. The rise of the Unionists, African-American Slave Revolts and the influx of many immigrant groups including Irish Catholics and Norse Pagans amongst others have led the Confederacy to offer freedom and a protected status in exchange for 10 years service within the Christian Armies, granting many of these disenfranchised groups a sort of Second-Class Citizenship. The Confederacy is a complicated beast, twisted by wars with the Alien powers, its own sycophantic religious motivation and its natural distrust for all things foreign, and it would be unwise to simply stereotype it as a White AmeriKKKa.
