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
The Confederacy has the second strongest economy in Eternia. There is a 19% 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.
Social Welfare
The social welfare budget, 3% or ~900 million credit chits, is invested not as handouts, but instead into public works programs to help the unemployed. The projects include urban revitalization and road building.
Law Enforcement
Crime is a serious problem despite the ~4.5 billion chit budget for the para-military police force. This is due primarily to the dual role the organization fills, both that of a police force and that of a defensive military.
The organization is called the Unified Defense Front of the Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women (UDFCLMW). It consists of 500,000 men armed with Doomingsland Defense Industries' DR-87 Advanced Special Applications Carbine. In addition, the UDFCLMW maintains an air force of 2 flight groups of 4 GEM Aerospace FA 15 Cardinals, and 6 squadrons of 3 flight groups of 4 CF-10e fighters each for a total of 72 CF-10e fighters.
Military
There is no recognizable military in the Confederacy. Instead, the role of defense is handled by the police force.
Politics
There are no parties in the Confederacy's political system. Instead those who wish to vote must actually listen to the opinions. However the point is moot, since President Jefferson has run unopposed since Eternia shattered. However, the recent economic slump, combined with recent purchase of advanced military hardware, has lead to a major drop in the president's approval rating, from it's original 87% to it's new 42%. This is the first time it has dropped beneath 50% in his presidency, and could mean a definite change in leadership in the elections on 4/8/07.
Recent Decisions
The law more often comes down on the side of employers rights rather than employee rights, causing a slightly higher ~15% unemployment, yet heavily improving the economy.
Voting is defined as voluntary, under the belief that if that person doesn't want to vote, the president does not want the vote.
