## The Confederate States of America

The Confederate States of America (or known as the CSA, or Confederacy) is a nation that participated in the American Civil War in 1861, originally set up by 11 slave states that declared secession from the United States of America, they declared independence after their decisive win in the Civil War, which ended up being a stalemate, whereabouts the USA surrendered months later. It borders The United States and Mexico and its capital is in Richmond.

## History

In the beginning of the Civil War, after The Battle of Fort Sumter, the war began. The Confederacy had major support on their side, both Britain and France sold the Confederacy warships, guns and food to preserve their cotton imports. Which upped the naval warfare all along the coast, and collapsed the Unions "Anaconda Plan" to starve the South, as they had warships to defend themselves. After a successful Siege of Lexington under Gen. Sterling Price, the South firmly held Missouri in their hands. Down near the Mississipi River, General Ulysse Grant wasn't doing any better either, although he won the Battle of Nashville, he suffered twice the casualties the South had, and in the Battle of Shiloh he lost once more, in heavy casualties which pushed him back even further. After Grants failure to take the river, and a Confederate Victory at both Gettysburg and Philadelphia. After Robert E. Lee had surrounded McClennans 70,000 men in 1862, and Lee surrounding Grants men and taking them as POWs, Robert E. Lee soon took Washington with both McClennen and Grant as Prisoners of War. With support from Europe and Zedici, it seemed too much for the Union. With the Confederacy setting up more Trade Routes with Britain, France, Spain, Zaktopia and Dorianstreet. The US was on the verge of economic collapse, with them barely being able to secure a victory, Lincolns popularity plummetted. In 1864 the United States of America had officially surrendered to the Confederate States, the CSA continued too keep both Grant and McClennen as POW's until their repartation was paid off. The CSA didn't intend to completely annex the United States, they took Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky and Lower California. They took California too connect trade routes with Zedici, and later on in 1871, Dorianstreet sold them the rest of California and Baja for 19 Billion USD. They took Liberia, Sierra Leone and pieces of Cote d'Ivore. This led them into being one of the most profitable nations at the time, as Slavery wasn't outlawed yet. They got into political scuffles with the United States over the years, and in the First World War they stood at a neutral stance. Although at the end of the war they were able to take multiple German African Colonies, practically doubling their profit once more. Although that changed in 1920, when Slavery was outlawed almost worldwide, this rendered their colonies useless which let to them freeing it. this pushed the CSA into a Great Depression, the same as the United States. In 1926, both the USA and the CSA seemed to be on the same path, their countries were thriving after they left the Great Depression with a all-time low unemployment rate. In 1939, they once again took a neutral stance in WW2, until Japan threatened San Diego. They did little in the war and joined in 1944, although they aided other countries. In its current day, the president is Donald Trump. After losing the 2020 Election in 2021, he signed up for the CSA Election, and won with a 74% voting rate.

## Military

The CSA has a strong military presence, similiar to the US. They use a altered version of the modern M4A3, along with the PP553, a newer pistol that was introduced to the Confederate Army. They have a lot of manpower and have a larger nuclear arsenal that the United States of America. Their military budget had risen another 18% with the recent power of Trump, it's been considered that Trump was going too reform the military to bolster it and make it stronger, due to the world tension that was beginning to rise with other countries, his plan with a large border with Mexico has planned to be finished by 2023 and he will make it a "Highly active military zone."
