History
The Confederacy of Malartia was formed April 21st, 1866 A.L. (ante litteram) by 6 formerly small states (more info addendum), which united after Ministerpraesident Wilhelm von Auttenberg, Viskont Maksimov, and several other, less well-known, diplomats and heads of government signed the Malartic Pact, which officially formed the Confederacy. Since 1870 AL, several smaller "territories" have been made for land settled and/or annexed by the various southern States, which has expanded to the nearest coastline. After education of Malartians in various oceanic and naval disciplines (ship-building, naval architecture), the port of Kelton was established. A short civil war in the early 1900s led to the two rulers of the states being slain (one by assassination, one by getting killed in battle) and negotiations leading to their unconditional incorporation into the Confederacy.
Government and politics
The Confederacy of Malartia is comprised of 6 founding 'states' and two territories plus a central government, led by a President, currently George Perry. According to the Malartic Pact, the sovereign states are to be prepared to relinquish their authority to the new Confederate Government by 1920 A.L.. By the early 1890s A.L. 4 of the 6 founding members had relinquished their authority to the central government (Libarovy, Proisen, Sarevus, and Whitgreen), while two more held out until the Six Weeks War. After it was over, the other states launched into a slightly faster federation process, demobilizing their militaries and modernizing, while the territories are under the control of the Confederate Government. Any state that wishes to withdraw from the Confederacy must state its reasons in a communication to the Confederate Government. In 1870, the 6 'states' agreed that von Auttenberg would remain President of the Government for the first five years, then he would be replaced by a candidate elected by the people of the Confederacy. Elections for Senators, which were due to be held 'by 1870', were not held until 1872 but were a success, and are due to be held every 3 years. Voting is only allowed to responsible male citizens over the age of 18.
Law
Due to the accession of a majority of the members of the Confederation to the new "Federation", a moderately successful law system has been created. The "Confederate System", as it is called, is both similar and dissimilar to the established law systems of the States. The Supreme Court of the Confederacy is the highest court for all cases, civil and criminal, in the Confederacy; initially, it was proposed that there be 7 judges, but after the Six Weeks War of 1904-1905, the peace treaty with the two holdout states stated that there would be 9 judges on the Confederate Supreme Court.
Geography
Called "barren and inhospitable" by some, the territory covered by the Confederacy is similar to RL Northern Europe, consisting of grassy plains in the warmer southern parts but mostly consisting of mountains, foothills, tundra, and the occasional coniferous or deciduous forest. The main river is the (tocomeupwithlater).

Military
The Confederate Army is under the control of the Confederate Ministry of War, currently headed by Adam Yates of Whitgreen. The Confederate War Ministry consists of three departments, the Department of the Army, Department of the Navy, and Department of the Air Corps. The Confederacy maintains the only army, with the armies of the constituent states disbanded a year ahead of schedule in late 1919. A navy is under construction, and currently consists of two 'dreadnought'-type battleships and several ships. A medium-sized army is effective, equipped with Maxim guns and bolt-action rifles.
