Also I already control all of Jordan and Syria so that doesn't work.
On the other hand I'm happy to help with background if you need, since we are neighbours after all.

Western Confederation
Loose confederation of states based on the Articles of Confederation that seceded from the Union in the Federal Centralization Referendum of 2020 made possible by the 28th Amendment that created a Referendum process for the USA. Taking issue with the increasingly powerful federal government, the referendum was organized and called by Alaskan Governor and former US Senator Thomas Madison, who in his failed presidential bid of 2008 managed to begin the political re arrangement of the USA similar to the Nixon Strategy. Essentially, he made the west a bastion of his brand of republicanism, which is what led to the west supporting his bid for independence. He has since established the Justice Party, a moderate party focused on states rights, a small army, and a large navy. The opposing Vanguard Party holds a minority of seats in the State Legislatures (the only legislatures that count, since they control their representatives in the national senate), who are typically more liberal and oppose the reduction of government responsibilities such as welfare. They also push for a larger army, air force, and space military rather than a navy. There are a variety of third parties that could overtake the Vanguard Party in the coming years.
Capital is Los Angeles.

Claiming Catalonia.

The St Johns Commonwealth
Claims Map: Forthcoming as no image editor wants to deal with Sone's map.
Claims: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, Atlantic coast of Quebec
Recognised Full Name: The Royal Sovereign States of The Maritimes and Quebec
Claimed Full Name: The United Kingdoms of Great Britain and the Commonwealth Realms
Short Name: St John's Commonwealth
Capital: St. John's, Newfoundland
Major Cities: Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Saint John (definitely not confusing), Charlottetown
Reigning Monarch: Her Majesty Princess Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith
Spoiler :
Note: Majority of claimed titles are not recognised outside of the St John's Commonwealth. Louise Windsor is regarded as a pretender by the British crown and her claim to the throne is seen as illegitimate having been inherited from her father who was also seen as an illegitimate pretender. She maintains the title of Princess as it is seen as more diplomatically neutral in this time of less hostile relations with the rest of the Commonwealth.
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Conscription Policy: 1
State Religion: Anglicanism - specifically the branch that recognises Princess Louise as head of the Church over the British Monarch.
Society: Dominated by trade unions due to its history the Commonwealth has at the same time huge amounts of government control and large amounts of power in the hands of the workers. A razor edge balance between the two has managed to maintain itself as without the Unions the government would lose its legitimacy and without the Government protecting them the Unions would be at the mercy of capitalism.
Economic Policy: Heavy state intervention in the economy
Languages: English and French are used in Government with Quebecois being the dominant form of French but Acadian also being recognised as official in the Maritimes.
On the 7th May 1979 Margaret Thatcher won the general election and became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In 1984 the Miners Strike Began. These were bad times for the working class in Britain, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Prince Edward, at the time a young student. He invited many Unionists and socialists including Scargill and Tony Benn to a conference in St John's - far away from the troubles of the UK - in order to establish a dialogue and hopefully arrange a better situation for the working class of Britain.
The views expressed in the conference however had a very large impression on him and he soon became a radical, opposed to the Thatcher government. Upon his return to England he implored his mother to dissolve parliament and call a general election however she refused. During this time Prince Edward gained massive popular support amongst the working class and intellectuals and soon a second conference in St John's was organised.
The trade unionists and other British dissenters wanted an end to the Thatcher Government but they weren't the only ones to show up to the conference. A group of dissenters from Quebec and the Maritimes also requested places in the conference. The findings eventually concluded that there was only one viable option.
Many unionists began moving to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and an independence campaign began hugely supported by Quebec. In 1988 Prince Edward asked his now relativity estranged family if the Monarchy would support the idea of independence. His request was refused and in a controversial move he was removed from the line of succession. Fuming he declared himself to be the only royal who could carry a mandate of the people and thus declared himself the rightful heir to the throne. Following this he left for Newfoundland permanently.
In 1992 there was a successful independence referendum and The St Johns Commonwealth was formed inserting William as the head of state. During this time he maintained his claim as heir to the British Throne and continued to style himself as Prince Edward. After Elizabeth II's death he took on the title of King despite not being recognised by the British monarchy.
From 1992 until the 2040s the Commonwealth took a very anti-British view and was almost always in opposition to them in the UN and such however recently there has been a period of reconciliation between the two nations and such they now maintain relatively friendly relations. Despite this trade Unions and left wing parties continue to dominate Commonwealth politics.
Politics
Current Composition of Parliament
Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition is formed by the Canadian Conservatives who have been on the rise in recent years. Though not as staunchly neo-liberal as other Conservative groups they are still a stark contrast to the other parties in this bastion of left wing tendencies.
