The Reunified Confederacy of The Seceded South
The Reunified Confederacy of The Seceded South is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, cynical population have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Beef-Based Agriculture.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Seceded South's national animal is the southern stallion, and its currency is the southern dollar.

Fearing that if they didn't act soon the people of North Carolina would plung themselves into chaos, the Senate adopted the plan and began to rebuild the Confederacy. Word soon spread to both South Carolina and Georgia of the plan and they sent formal requests to North Carolina to be admitted into the new Confederacy. North Carolina agreed and The Reunified Confederacy of the Seceded South was born
