Space Program
On August 26, Year 10, the Confederacy began a space program in conjunction with a number of corporations. So far, they have begin 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.
Politics
A recent decision of the senate has been passed in the senate that has changed the length of the presidential term from 4 years to a life time term, meaning that the current president Jake Featherston may remain in power for a long time.

Provinces (as of 5/23/07)
- Keldor: 30 electoral votes
- Cringer: 30 electoral votes
- She-Ra: 30 electoral votes
- Randor: 30 electoral votes
- Grayskull: 60 electoral votes
- Eternos: 64 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
- Jefferson:
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
- Jefferson:
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 Martindale. The 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:
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
- Howard:
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)

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:
- Should one of the involved nations be attacked, the other is compelled to come to its defense, if so requested by the attacked nation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- This pact neither disallows nor discourages other alliances for the two nations.
