== History ==
 
 
The Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women is the current embodiment of what used to be the only government in [[Eternia]].  Even after all of the break away countries formed, The Confederacy is still the largest.
 
  
 
== Economy ==
 
== Economy ==
  
The Confederacy had retaken its place as the second strongest economy in Eternia.  There is a 2% income tax, with the money taken being invested in everything from education to law and order to corporate bailouts.  There is a strong corporate presence in the Confederacy, and capitalism is allowed to thrive.
+
There is a strong corporate presence in the Confederacy, dominated by [[The Cairhienen Corporation]] and the much newer [[Jeffersonian Engineering Corporation]] who fight for dominance in the Confederate markets, and capitalism is allowed to thrive.
  
There is a 4.41% unemployment rate.
+
===Statistics===
  
==Social Welfare==
 
  
The social equality and welfare budgets, 13% total or ~cr20.5 billion, is invested not as handouts, but instead into public works programs to help the unemployed. The projects include urban revitalization and road building.

==Education==
+
===Electrical Economy===
  
The Confederacy has long been a supporter of public education, and has always made it the top funding targetIt's funding is ~cr60 billion.  Education is compulsory through all of high school, and there is completely free community college for those who desire it; however, it is only free for the first degree.
+
The average energy use per capita in the Confederacy was 15 kW/person.  This leads to an instantaneous energy consumption of 14.66 TW, and yearly energy consumption of greater than 128.5 PWh.<br>
 +
<br>
 +
There are two major electrical companies in the ConfederacyThe first is Confederated Electric (CE), which uses primarily nuclear(~70%) and hydro electric power(~30%), with light fossil fuel supplement when usage unexpectedly exceeds availability, yet a new reactor is not ready yet, since reactors take about 4 years to build, and energy usage can change unexpectedly in four years.  CE is constantly building new reactors to keep pace with population growth.  The CE provides energy for the majority of the population; specifically about 927 million(~95%) customers, with an average rate of 3 chits per kWh, with the average yearly bill at about ₢4,000 / person.  This gives CE a yearly revenue of nearly ₢3.7 trillion or ~8.13% of the GDP
 +
<br><br>
 +
The other 50 million people choose to buy their energy from the Clean Energy Consortium(CEC).  The CEC vow to never use any polluting energy source, and in fact use entirely Solar and Wind power, and as such their main customers are affluent environmentalists and panicky hippies. They charge about 25 chits per kWh, giving it's customers an average bill of about ₢32,900 per year, and the CEC post a yearly revenue of over ₢1.6 trillion, or ~3.57% of the GDP.
 +
<br><br>
 +
The energy industry is about a ₢5.3 trillion a year business and is ~11.7% of the entire GDP.<br>

== Unified Defense Front of the Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women (UDFCLMW) ==
+
Main article: [[UDFCLMW]]
 
+
The Confederacy has recently requested anyone of knowledge in the fields rocketry or ship building to immigrate to the Confederacy and join the military to help in the development of a navy and space program, and most likely a ballistic missile program as well.  In addition, they are asking for the assistance of experienced sailors to man the ships the plan to build and purchase due to their fear of the ocean.
+
 
+
The UDFCLMW has recently been privatized, due to recent changes in the priority of the government.  It is now a division of the Confederate Arms Corporation, which has close ties to the Cairhienen Corporation.  It is estimated that they invests ~cr11 billion in to the military, most of which comes from the government along private channels, which explains the bloated "administration" budget.

On May 9, Year 12, not even 2 years since the beginning of the program, the Confederacy successfully orbited the first artificial satellite in Eternian history that remained in orbit for an appreciable time.  It stayed in a more or less stable orbit for over a month before it began to destabilize, finally burning up a month after that.

By September 28, Year 23, the Confederacy had built a sizable communications network, beaming communications around the country, and the globe, allowing people who had never even heard of Eternia to find out what was happening.  This was truly a major step into the international arena.

Since then, the Confederacy has begun to launch Space Based RADAR satellites, and is beginning to integrate these devices with UDFCLMW forces on the ground to better organize the forces and give advance warning of attacksUnfortunately, these satellites are as vulnerable as any other.

===Provinces (as of 5/2/07)===

*Keldor: 17 electoral votes
+
*Cringer: 17 electoral votes
+
*She-Ra: 17 electoral votes
+
*Randor: 17 electoral votes
+
*Grayskull: 35 electoral votes
+
*Eternos: 38 electoral votes
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 4 (4/8/07)===
+
 
+
President Marvin Jefferson ran against two other candidates, Senator Williams and the retired police chief Donaldson.  The vote break down was as follows(Jefferson/Williams/Donaldson):
+
 
+
*Keldor: 15/79/4; 1 vote to Williamson
+
*Cringer: 56/21/22; 1 vote to Jefferson
+
*She-Ra: 1/77/21; 1 vote to Williamson
+
*Randor: 13/68/17; 1 vote to Williamson
+
*Grayskull: 43/5/51; 3 votes to Donaldson
+
*Eternos: 47/23/29; 3 votes to Jefferson
+
 
+
*Totals:
+
**Jefferson:
+
***4 electoral votes
+
***~36% of the votes
+
***~3,550,000 votes
+
**Williamson:
+
***3 electoral votes
+
***~33% of the votes
+
***~3,290,000 votes
+
**Donaldson:
+
***3 electoral votes
+
***~30% of the votes
+
***~3,040,000 votes
+
 
+
This is the most hotly contested presidential election in recorded history.  Many analysts have concluded that if only Donaldson opponents had run, then there may have been a president-elect Donaldson.  The same is not true for Williamson, for it has been concluded that he would not have won Grayskull.
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 8 (4/12/07)===
+
 
+
President Marvin Jefferson, the incumbent, ran against only one other candidates, former UDFCLMW minister, General Howard.  The vote break down was as follows(Jefferson/Howard):
+
 
+
*Keldor: 38/59. 2 electoral votes for Howard.
+
*Cringer: 51/47. 3 electoral votes for Jefferson.
+
*She-Ra: 23/76. 2 electoral votes for Howard.
+
*Randor: 34/63. 2 electoral votes for Howard.
+
*Grayskull: 31/67. 4 electoral votes for Howard.
+
*Eternos: 62/35. 5 electoral votes for Jefferson.
+
 
+
*Totals:
+
**Jefferson:
+
***8 electoral votes
+
***~43% of the votes
+
***~7.74 million votes
+
**Howard:
+
***10 electoral votes
+
***~54% of the votes
+
***~9.72 million votes
+
 
+
This election threw the analysts for a loop.  It was expected for Jefferson to win handily; however, the analysts underestimated the effect of [[the War of Liilte Aggression]].  It was expected that the president who was capable of signing the treaty to end the war would win, but the border states voted for the military candidate in the hope of the increased defense his policies would provide, and those border states in conjunction witht he military dependant Grayskull sealed Howard the election.  Another unexpected occurrence was that Howard announced his intent to appoint Jefferson as his Minister of Education.
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 12 (4/16/07)===
+
 
+
The third election post-breakup was a non event since General Howard ran unopposed.
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 16 (4/20/07)===
+
 
+
Retired General Howard, the incumbent, ran against only one other candidates, Senator MartindaleThe vote break down was as follows(Howard/Martindale):
+
 
+
*Keldor: 64/33, 5 electoral votes votes for Howard
+
*Cringer: 62/35, 5 electoral votes votes for Howard
+
*She-Ra: 23/75, 5 electoral votes for Martindale
+
*Randor: 69/36, 5 electoral votes votes for Howard
+
*Grayskull: 73/25, 10 electoral votes for Howard
+
*Eternos: 38/61, 15 electoral votes for Martindale
+
 
+
*Totals:
+
**Howard:
+
***25 electoral votes
+
***~53% of the votes
+
***~23.9 million votes
+
**Martindale:
+
***20 electoral votes
+
***~46% of the votes
+
***~20.6 million votes
+
 
+
Howard was able to hold the presidency due to the concern of the border states for the possibility of an attack.  This paranoia originates from [[the War of Liilte Aggression]].  This in addition to Grayskull, the military province, held for him the majority.
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 20 (4/24/07)===
+
 
+
Retired General Howard, the incumbent, ran against one other candidates, a man named Jake Featherston. The vote break down was as follows(Howard/Featherston):
+
 
+
*Keldor: 15/83, 7 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Cringer: 18/81, 7 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*She-Ra: 12/84, 7 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Randor: 10/87, 7 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Grayskull: 72/26, 20 electoral votes for Howard
+
*Eternos: 5/93, 20 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Totals:
+
**Howard:
+
***20 electoral votes
+
***~28.3% of the votes
+
***~19.25 million votes
+
**Featherston:
+
***48 electoral votes
+
***~69.5% of the votes
+
***~47.25 million votes
+
 
+
The results are due to the platform on the recent assassination of prominent figure, former president Marvin Jefferson.  However, Featherston has acknowledged Howard's military expertise and has offered him the position of UDFCLMW minister again.
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 24 (4/28/07)===
+
 
+
Featherston ran unopposed because no one could beat out his platforming on the death of a hero.
+
 
+
===The Election of EY 28 (5/2/07)===
+
 
+
This was the first election with the new political parties frmed.  Each party ran their leader for president.  The breakdown is as follows (Featherston/Donaldson/Howard/Martindale):
+
 
+
*Keldor: (83/3/4/7), 13 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Cringer: (34/4/3/57), 13 electoral votes for Martindale
+
*She-Ra: (89/2/3/5), 13 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Randor: (76/11/5/6), 13 electoral votes for Featherston
+
*Grayskull: (21/8/63/7), 30 electoral votes for General Howard
+
*Eternos: (24/73/1/1), 35 electoral votes for Donaldson
+
 
+
*Totals:
+
**Featherston:
+
***39 electoral votes
+
***~43.9% of the votes
+
***~51.36 million votes
+
**Donaldson:
+
***35 electoral votes
+
***~26.1% of the votes

Economy

There is a strong corporate presence in the Confederacy, dominated by The Cairhienen Corporation and the much newer Jeffersonian Engineering Corporation who fight for dominance in the Confederate markets, and capitalism is allowed to thrive.

Statistics

  • Exchange Rate: ₢1 = $1.9981
  • Gross Domestic Product: ₢45,023,714,424,530.45
  • GDP Per Capita: ₢46,083.64
  • Unemployment Rate: 5.21%
  • Consumption: ₢39,881,628,500,000.00
  • Government Budget: ₢5,247,026,453,602.50
  • Government Expenditures: ₢5,142,085,924,530.45
  • Government Waste: ₢104,940,529,072.05
  • Imports: ₢5,259,779,722,491.88

Electrical Economy

The average energy use per capita in the Confederacy was 15 kW/person. This leads to an instantaneous energy consumption of 14.66 TW, and yearly energy consumption of greater than 128.5 PWh.

There are two major electrical companies in the Confederacy. The first is Confederated Electric (CE), which uses primarily nuclear(~70%) and hydro electric power(~30%), with light fossil fuel supplement when usage unexpectedly exceeds availability, yet a new reactor is not ready yet, since reactors take about 4 years to build, and energy usage can change unexpectedly in four years. CE is constantly building new reactors to keep pace with population growth. The CE provides energy for the majority of the population; specifically about 927 million(~95%) customers, with an average rate of 3 chits per kWh, with the average yearly bill at about ₢4,000 / person. This gives CE a yearly revenue of nearly ₢3.7 trillion or ~8.13% of the GDP

The other 50 million people choose to buy their energy from the Clean Energy Consortium(CEC). The CEC vow to never use any polluting energy source, and in fact use entirely Solar and Wind power, and as such their main customers are affluent environmentalists and panicky hippies. They charge about 25 chits per kWh, giving it's customers an average bill of about ₢32,900 per year, and the CEC post a yearly revenue of over ₢1.6 trillion, or ~3.57% of the GDP.

The energy industry is about a ₢5.3 trillion a year business and is ~11.7% of the entire GDP.

Statistics:

  • Average instantaneous consumption: >128.5 TW
    • /capita: ~15 kW
  • Average yearly consumption: >14.6 PWh
    • /capita: ~130 MWh

Unified Defense Front of the Confederacy (UDFCLMW)

Main article: UDFCLMW

Space Program

On August 26, Year 10, the Confederacy began a space program in conjunction with a number of corporations. So far, they have begun to launch rockets into the upper atmosphere.

On May 9, Year 12, not even 2 years since the beginning of the program, the Confederacy successfully orbited the first artificial satellite in Eternian history that remained in orbit for an appreciable time. It stayed in a more or less stable orbit for over a month before it began to destabilize, finally burning up a month after that.

By September 28, Year 23, the Confederacy had built a sizable communications network, beaming communications around the country, and the globe, allowing people who had never even heard of Eternia to find out what was happening. This was truly a major step into the international arena.

Since then, the Confederacy has begun to launch Space Based RADAR satellites, and is beginning to integrate these devices with UDFCLMW forces on the ground to better organize the forces and give advance warning of attacks. Unfortunately, these satellites are as vulnerable as any other.

Embassy Row

Embassy Row is a brand new district on the outskirts of Eternos. It is not considered part of Eternos the city, but is within wlking distance of the capitol building. It, along with a few cross streets is to be the centralized location of primary embassies to the Confederacy.

There are expansion plans should it prove necessary.

Detailed Embassy Row information is kept here.

International Relations

The Confederacy has been initiating programs to extend into the international community, in spite of it's societal phobia of the ocean.

The Confederacy maintains embassies in the following countries:

  • Calizornistan
  • Altacea
  • Irixia

In addition, the Confederacy has recently solidified an alliance with Irixia. It contained the following points:

  1. Should one of the involved nations be attacked, the other is compelled to come to its defense, if so requested by the attacked nation.
  2. Should one of the involved nations, in an offensive war, be invaded, and ask for assistance, the other nation is compelled only to assist in repelling the invasion and no more.
  3. Should one of the nations be an aggressor in a war, the other is not required to help in any way, but nor is it discouraged from assisting.
  4. Any and all trade between the two nations, which is encouraged, but not required by this pact, should be conducted with minimal taxing and tariffs and shall obey all laws of the sovereign nations.
  5. This pact neither disallows nor discourages other alliances for the two nations.

Government

The Confederate Government has three main responsibilities.

  1. Provide a unified economy, referring primarily to a unified currency across all of the provinces. Additionally, provinces are disallowed from imposing any tariff or tax on trade between provinces.
  2. Provide a common defense from other governments through the Unified Defense Front of the Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women. Additionally, the Senate is allowed to use the UDFCLMW to keep peace within a province, only if the province requests assistance.
  3. Provide resolution to disagreements, conflicts, or issues that affect more than one province

All power in the government rests in the senate. There is technically no head of the government. The senate has the ability to appoint operatives who are endowed with any of the powers of the senate, assuming the operative passes by a 2/3 majority. These operatives include ambassadors to foreign states and member provinces. A simple majority vote can remove the position and authority from the operative.

Finally any powers that rest solely within one province are reserved to that province.
