The Confederacy of America


Kevin Kingswell

Recommended Posts

On this day, the Confederacy of America announces its creation to the world at large. The Confederacy calls itself the spiritual successor to the old Confederated States of America and vows to uphold our ideals and beliefs in this world. We acknowledge that some of the ideals of the old C.S.A were of unethical origin and value such as the use and keeping of slaves and we can assure everyone that the Confederacy will not be following these same practices at any time. 

 

We also understand it being strange that we call ourselves the Confederacy of America when our land is Mexican however, many of the settlers in this land come from the southern states of America and most now class themselves being more American than Mexican and thus why the name of America was chosen instead of choosing Confederacy of Mexico. We do and always will call ourselves Americans and will proudly continue to do so until our final days. 

 

Currently the Confederacy of America calls the provinces of Chihuahua, Durango and Coahuila as part of the nation along with a select area of the province of Sinaloa, roughly thirty five percent of the land as worked out. 

 

The current government for the Confederacy is a Confederal Republic with non-partisan democracy where the people shall vote on the laws proposed by the ruling President and other members of government before being either passed or rejected. The current President is Joseph C. Frank and the Vice President is Richard M. Jackson.

 

Having only just formed together the security of the Confederacy is provided by a mix of national police forces and civil militia. Though lightly equipped and only possessing the most basic of training it is more than enough to provide our young nation with the security it needs as we are not seeking to antagonize any other nations. One of the first plans for the Confederacy is to form a unified and fully functioning military for additional security.  

 

We hope the nations of the world and our more closer neighbors will welcome us into the world and we hope to open amiable relations with all. Thank you.

The Federal Union of Southern African Republics, recognizing the dark history of the C.S.A, has enacted a trade and travel ban on the Confederacy of America, and does not recognize the state as legitimate. Nostalgia for such a criminal state cannot be tolerated. The removal of Mexican culture from Mexican territories is also incredibly concerning, and is reminiscent to when slave-owning Americans mass-immigrated into Texas and declared it a separate republic from Mexico during the 1800s.

"Territory of Bolivia does believe that the past history of the Confederate States of America taught in schools in the past is false, and that the direction in which people think the "south" was going in was not at all the direction they were in fact going. We would say more, but for the sake of our reputation, we will leave it at that. Welcome back, CSA."

"The Imperium of Japan, recognizes that while historical events have a bearing on the present for all nations, we should not be judged upon the sins of our fathers, but instead by our own actions. Due to this belief, we welcome the Confederacy of America to the world, and wish them good fortune in helping the Americas return to prominence once more.

"Cascadia VERY happily welcomes another American nation to the world and wishes it the very best in its endeavors."

 

Cascadian Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Kim Winkelman

 

The Confederacy of America is thankful for the support from Cascadia and looks forward to future relations between our two nations.

While we in the Confederacy are disheartened to see such a knee jerk response from the Federal Union of Southern African Republics we can at least understand where your view point comes from. Hopefully future words and actions can repair these fractured relations between our two nations. Also to elaborate on the Mexican culture it does still exist in our territory however, Americanization has taken a large effect on the population which is why many of us now claim to be American rather than Mexican.

The Confederacy expresses our thanks for the welcome from the Territory of Bolivia. As to the actions of our predecessor state for diplomatic reasons we too shall disdain from discussing them. 

 

"The Principality welcomes its new neighbour."

The Confederacy thanks the Principality for the welcome and looks forward to future diplomacy between our two nations. 

 

The Palaven Empire formally recognizes Confederacy of America and welcomes the new neighbor to the New World. 

 

The Confederacy thanks the Palaven Empire for the recognition and for the generous welcome. We look forward to seeing what the future will bring for our two nations.

The Confederacy appreciates that the Imperium of Japan will not be judging us for the sins of our predecessor and we hope to show the world that the new Confederacy is morally superior to the old. Thank you for the warm welcome and good fortune.

The Antarctic Federation welcomes the new CSA. We won't argue with ethics so long as the people of your nation as a whole are pleased with their nation. We look forward to mutual friendship and trade with your new nation.

"On behalf of the Plains Federation, I extend formal diplomatic recognition of the Confederacy of America and welcome them as a new American nation. God speed to establishing your government to functioning standards and raising a military. If any assistance is needed, do not hesitate to contact me."

Creation and implementation of a new national currency has been completed though out the Confederacy. From now on the Confederated States of America Dollar is the nationally accepted currency and all current and future banks and businesses will have to use this for their transactions. Government workers are looking into working out the correct and favorable exchange rates for foreign currencies to our own. 

 

Within the militia forces currently enforcing security through out the nation a number of changes and procedures are being brought into line. Firstly a standardized dress uniform is being designed for all standing members to wear when not in fatigues. This dress uniform is based off the grey uniforms of the old Confederated States of America military and many have already expressed their agreement with the choice. While currently the militia forces are semi-autonomous units lead by untrained commanders a scheme is being put in place for select men and women to attend to be giving officer training. This will give these officers proper training and responsibilities that comes along with it but also increased prestige and pay. This should bring an increase in military discipline and effectiveness.

It was not difficult for the Imperium to keep an eye upon the Confederacy due to their proximity to multiple allies, the lack of modern military equipment was noted, and considering the Imperium had quite literally thousands of armoed vehicles sitting in bunkers it was decided to reach out to the new north american nation.

 

:Encrypted:

"As the Imperium has shared close relations with the North American nations for decades, We'd like to offer assistance in bringing your military up to modern standards if you require. The K1A1 is the Imperium's export tank model, currently selling for 4 million a unit, for troop protection we offer the Type 96, which we can sell for $750,000 a unit. Our banks can assist in low interest financing plans if required. Of course both units come with a 5 year technological assistance program, in which we will provide spare parts and training for your services in proper maintenance and care of the vehicles. We also have many other assets available if needed."

"The Confederacy finds the offer of assistance from the Imperium most welcoming and would be beneficial to our growing military however, our monetary funds are at such a low level that we would not be able to afford such an offer straight away. Perhaps we can work out an offer where the Confederacy purchases equipment in small amounts over time and if possible may be able to offset some of the cost by trading to the Imperium in shipments of raw materials?

:Diplomatic Cable:

"That can be arranged, METI is willing to collaborate with Imperium Banks to ensure that you are able to finance what you require. Additionally we have various small arms for sale if you require. As a related subject, Imperium Automotive manufacturers have an interest in expanding into the North American market. The Mitsubishi Group and Toyota Group are willing to finance the construction or retooling of factories to build Imperium cars for sale within your own country and the rest of North America. a 40% profit sharing agreement with your government could be arranged, as well as ensuring that thousands of your citizens are employed."

Excellent this will certainly prove profitable for both of our nations as for the automotive deal consider it has being the go ahead by the Confederacy. have the companies send their representatives and I am sure we can work out a system that will allow such actions to take place in a speedy and efficient manner. The sale of small arms is also welcomed alongside other military supply contracts will be establishing.

Mitsubishi and Toyota representatives would be sent upon the positive reply, scouting for factories to be renovated or land to build new ones if need be. Consideration would be taken to seek locations near the northern border rather than the southern, as Tikal would not be requiring vehicles that drove upon the ground. Additionally, Transport would be arranged for raw materials for these factories, Steel would not be an issue due to the production of such within the Confederacy, Plastic and Carbon Fiber might be needed to be brought over however. As a gesture of good will, MItsubishi Heavy Industries would ship over fourty Type 90 Kyū-maru MBT, for use in the Confederacy military.

All assistance required from the Confederacy would be granted immediately to the Mitsubishi and Toyota representatives when they needed it. As for the forty main battle tanks they would be placed into a single unit who would begin immediate training in how to operate their newly obtained equipment. Seeing this advanced vehicles from the Imperium many factory owners in the Confederacy would put forward requests to adapt some of their factories towards producing military equipment. The government would grant these requests after proper checking and vetting processes were carried out.

The CEO and Board of Krupp contacted the Confederacy, requesting permission to scout out steel mills and other such steel industry facilities in the Confederate state, where 15% of all profits would be paid directly to Confederate coffers.

Permission would be granted to the CEO and Board of Krupp for scouting out steel mills and other steel industry facilities through out the nation. Like the companies from the Imperium of Japan the members from Krupp would find the Confederacy welcoming and always willing to provide whatever assistance they could. 

 

In other news recruitment and training had been progressing well and the militia that had been guarding the Confederacy had been formed into a professional standing army of fifty thousand active soldiers. Equipped with a standardized uniform and equipped with small arms from the Imperium of Japan they provided a solid core from which the Confederate Army could build upon.

President Joseph C. Frank has unveiled the first successfully voted law in the Confederacy of America. Titled the Fair Gender Rights at Work Law this law now makes it an illegal offence to pay any employee a higher wage than another employee who does the same job title on the conditions of their gender. In simple terms this means that all employees regardless of their chosen gender will have to be paid the same amount of wages as anyone else who works in the same job role.

The Confederacy vessel would be noticed bt the Imperium's Pacific SOSUS and Radar systems, and as it was clearly not a commercial vessel, upon entering Imperium controlled waters it would be hailed by the Kasasagi as well as followed from a shadowed from a reasonable distance.

 

"This is the East Asian Patrol Boat Kasasagi, you are within Imperium waters, Identify yourself and state your intentions."

Two manufacturing plants have now been fully converted to produce military small arms for the Confederacy military and plans and work are under way to convert the other plants around these two so that they can produce all manner of military equipment. Expected time of completion is two to three months.
