The Confederacy (The south) is the remnant of the southern states from the Old United States from the pre-civil war era. It is a country that is largely rural (with the country being about 45% urbanised) but does have some cities, the largest being Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Miami. It shares a border with the United States to the North, Pacifica to the west and Mexico to the south (as well as holding the external territory of Belize). The country is considered a relatively developed country (but still far below the development levels of its Northern and Western Neighbours), however it still suffers greatly from high levels of inequality, with large parts of its population (particularly in rural areas of Mississippi, Alabama, Lousiana, Durango and the Appleacians) living in poverty. The country's political system is dominated by the Social Christian Party and has been since the late 1940s (with the party not governing only in the late 50's, 70's and mid 80's, with the party having governed uninterupted for almost 35 years now). The country is considered authoritarian, with freedom of media, speech limited with political participation somewhat limited (in the form of ID, however this is issued by private companies, many of which refuse to issue IDs depending on circumstance). Most forms of public dissodence is shut down immediately, with dissidents thrown into prison or their being rammifactions regarding employment (as the government puts pressure on private enterprise). The country is largely dependent on its natural resources as well as its agriculture. Unlike its western neighbour, it is a country that is largely private enterprise with very few government owned sectors (with most of the economy privatised). It also has one of the lowest effective tax rates in the entire world in terms of income tax (with a tax range of 0-7.5%, however there is a Goods and Service Tax of 10%). Despite a relatively small economy for the region, it has one of the most advanced militaries in the world as well as the largest military in the region (with it being the only nation in the Americas to have mandatory military service for all men between the ages of 18-21, with an army of over 1 million personnel with 3 million reservists along with a further 1.5 million paramilitary personnel).
