===Electrical Economy===
  
As of Eternian Year 85 (6/28/07), the average energy use per capita in the Confederacy was 15 kW/person.  This leads to an instantaneous energy consumption in excess of 6.8 TW, and yearly energy consumption of greater than 60 PWh.<br>

As of Eternian Year 85 (6/28/07), the average energy use per capita in the Confederacy was 15 kW/person.  This leads to an instantaneous energy consumption in excess of 7.3 TW, and yearly energy consumption of greater than 64 PWh.<br>

<br>
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 over 435,000,000(~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 about ₢1.7 trillion or ~9.4% of the GDP

The other 22 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 ₢32,800 per year, and the CEC post a yearly revenue of about ₢720 billion, or ~4% of the GDP.

==Unified Defense Front of the Confederacy (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.

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

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.

  • Worker Enthusiasm: 87%
  • Government Efficiency: 97%
  • Consumer Confidence: 92%
  • Unemployment: 3.41%

Electrical Economy

As of Eternian Year 85 (6/28/07), the average energy use per capita in the Confederacy was 15 kW/person. This leads to an instantaneous energy consumption in excess of 7.3 TW, and yearly energy consumption of greater than 64 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 465,000,000(~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 about ₢1.8 trillion or ~9.4% of the GDP

The other 24 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 about ₢790 billion, or ~4% of the GDP.

The energy industry is a nearly ₢2.6 trillion a year business and is ~13.4% of the entire GDP, more than even the government accounts for.

Statistics:

  • Average instantaneous consumption: >7.3 TW
    • /capita: ~15kW
  • Average yearly consumption: >64PWh
    • /capita: ~130 MWh

Social Welfare

Social welfare has been abolished to force people to become self dependent; however, there is a ~₢84 billion Healthcare budget for those who cannot afford it.

Education

The Confederacy has long been a supporter of public education, and has always made it a top funding priority. It's funding is nearly ₢100 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.

Literacy is ranked at 100%

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 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.

Political Parties

Until recently a communist party existed, but has folded into the Nationalist Party.

  • Jefferson Party
    • President Featherston is leader
    • ~40% of population
    • Liberal political philosophy
    • Capitalist economic philosophy
    • Imperialistic International philosophy

  • Military Party
    • General Howard is leader
    • ~20% of population
    • Conservative political philosophy
    • Capitalist economic philosophy

Provinces (as of 6/2/07)

  • Keldor: 55 electoral votes
  • Cringer: 55 electoral votes
  • She-Ra: 55 electoral votes
  • Randor: 55 electoral votes
  • Grayskull: 110 electoral votes
  • Eternos: 127 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 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 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:

      • ~10.4% of the votes

Featherston's power and influence is only increasing, while the other parties power is waning.

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.
