IOT: Second American Revolution REDUX

[Celticfury]

The Free Republic of St Louis

Capital: St Louis
Government: Mercantile Republic. The republic is run by the St Louis Council. The Upper Council is in charge of most critical decisions in the republic (as well as the day to day affairs of the city of St Louis proper), and its members are chosen mainly from the merchants and businessmen of St Louis. The Lower Council serves as a balance to the Upper Council, protecting the interests of the civil populace and the areas outside of St Louis. A council member from the Upper Council is chosen to be the chief executor for the republic.
Leader: Councilman Jacob Hammerstein
Language: English
Social Policy: Rather liberal in the classical sense. people are mostly free to live their lives as they see fit, so long as they are not obstructive to the rest of society. A small public welfare program exists, in addition to private charities.
Fiscal Policy: A flat tax is implemented throughout the republic for all citizens. Businesses within the St Louis area usually pay a lower tax rate. The republic follows a free market policy, with the exception of the few key industries (electricity, water management, medical supplies, ect...) that are needed for the survival of the republic.
Trade Policy: Free Trade. A small amount of government intervention exists, primarily to ensure that certain key industries necessarily for the republic's survival are kept afloat.
Currency: The St Louis dollar (nicknamed "Archies", based on the Gateway Arch which graces the front of the dollar coin)
Foriegn Policy: The foreign policy of the Free Republic of St Louis is complex. Usually, the republic takes an isolationist stance towards most conflict. However, it will intervene to protect its trade interests, especially against unorganized raiders and warlords.
History: When the United States fell, all interstate commerce fell with it. With no one to maintain the infrastructure, trade was simply impossible to implement using the old means. Thus, the waterways of America became the new trade routes for the various states that arose from the ashes. The city of St Louis was lucky enough to be positioned along the mighty Mississippi River, thus making it a trade hub for much of the region. The merchants and businessmen who profited from this trade managed to set up an effective government over the area, knowing that they would need o work collectively to ensure their survival.

1) Those who say that Theocracy doesnt support Monarchy, see the Byzantine Empire.

2) Communism is used in Alaska as an economic system. If you have problem, i can rename my economical system into Everything state owned- planned economy.

 

[Sonereal]

Planned economy works better. Communism has the political stuff attached to it that is very anti-monarchy and usually anti-theocracy.

The Sunshine Dictatorship:

Territories: The Four Southernmost Floridian territories.

Capital: Ft. Myers.

Description: Come retire here! Well, just as long as you bring children along to serve in the army. For each you bring, we'll pay you. Right-wing dictatorship, forceable conscription, communists and those who reject the Church of Florida are sentenced to death. Run by a King and single-party, known as the Separatist Party, allowed. (Ironically, the "Nationalists" are the anti-govt party and want national reunification.)

We'll team up with any non-southern nations who have a similar ideology as us. All of the former confederate states are ours and we will befriend nobody that tries to set up a nation there.

 

[Red_Spy]

You can only claim one territory.

 

[Tyo]

This'll be updated with Dommy's nation, probably the southern Florida territory, later.

GM ruling: No more claiming in territories inside the red line under penalty of not joining.

Oh yeah, and JK will go on there once he gives me a color.

 

[GhostWriter16]

I thought it was 4, sorry. Take the territory directly northwest of the Southernmost Floridian territory. Everything else stands.

Oh, and I'd like something in the ballpark of yellow or orange if possible for a color.

 

[JohannaK]

My colour is MSPaint standard orange.

Republic of Wisconsin-claim Milwaukee

My color is Dark Blue. By the way, it's directly east of the province Radio claimed.

@Radio-alliance?

@Radio-alliance?

Naturally, Pan-Wisconsinism will be the dominant force in...Wisconsin...

 

[Tyo]

There sure are a lot of blues..

We should probably point out that by "The Confederate States" we mean the states undisputably controlled by the Confederacy during the Civil War. The Confederate parts of Missouri and Kentucky are not being included. We would also like to point out that anyone trying to claim in a Deep South State, with the exception of Texas, will be in a state of war with the Sunshine Dictatorship at the moment of spawn. We are not being quite so strict on Texas and the Upper South, but we will not diplomatically unite with any nations in that area. We have no conflicts with anyone in the border states, northeast, or anywhere that could be considered "West."
