The South didn’t leave the Union and OTL civil war didn’t happen and slavery remained . Eventually after economic collapse due to the boll weevil the south collapsed into a far left revolution. After which would emerge the land of Dixie the world first socialist state. A semi democratic left wing both socially and economically state.
“You damn capitalistic imperialist Yankee!”

Supreme Leader Mark Adams of The American Directorate fleeing from combat with Directorate rebels and the 4th Pacific Peace Keeping Coalition in his “Pimping Doom Wagon”.
Elite Mounted Dragoons, commonly referred to as Mounties, in Tankettes racing to reinforce the now infamous Dropsite Gamma. The dropsite, meant to be the first strike at the heart of the Directorate, would become a total massacre for the Coalition forces and a troubling sign of things to come as the bulk of the peace keepers moved from looting coastal and canal suburbs into Liberty City proper. The Mounted Dragoons would serve valiantly throughout the war and be key to repulsing the invaders after the battle for Liberty City.
Directorate tanks being flanked and overun by Coalition forces on the outskirts of Guadalajara. While Directorate vehicles were superbly designed, the technology in the Directorate and much of the developed world, save for the Antarctic Singularity States, had platued as many Coalition states were closing the gap to technological pararity. Additionally, much of the officer core for Directorate combat forces were Aristocrats given their titles and responsibilities without any prior training. Peace Keepers of the various successor states on the contrary had been forged in the fires of various wars across previous peace keeping campaigns throughout South America along with petty wars between the Escobarian states throughout Asia and North America.
In the year 621 the confusing 4th Pacific Peace Keeping Coalition Initiative's began. What was originally supposed to be a campaign to take back Medellin and other liberation sites from the hords of Counter Revolutionary Pseudo Nations, turned into a full scale invasion of the Directorate due to the meddling of intrests in Austin and Neo Orleans. This is surprising from our modern perspective, since The Directorate was one of the oldest bastions of Escobardom and the strongest claimant to the old United States. While the 4th Coalition’s sacking of Liberty City would ultimately fail, the cowardice of Supreme Leader Adams and much of the Aristocracy would lead to The Directorate temporarily fracturing and even being partially subverted by Gulf comerce cities like Austin and Neo Orleans. The Directorate would reunify; however, the event would leave deep scars in the Nation and be one of first nails in the coffin leading to its demise in 868 AP...

This is by far one of the most interesting and unique settings on this thread that I've scene so far. I am kinda curious about the backstory behind the Coalition and Directorate and how this world came about.

Thanks. The setting is still rather rough around the edges and I'm not sure I want to keep Escobarianism as an ideology/philosophy. The basic premise is this is post apoclyptic world loosely mirroring the dark and middle ages, at least in the Western Hemisphere. I was planning on having other regions of the world be loosely inspired by various collapses. Technology has continued to advance since the collapse - albeit more slowly - and civilization has survived with the caveat that most of the 'civilized' nations are in the Southern Hemisphere or in regions a 21st century observer would consider unstable.
The parallelism being presented in this is the 4th crusade.

Dixie 5th President Lewis a Demotic Socialist Party best known for her education, economic, and political reforms along with the modernization of Dixie Military.
President Huey “King Fish” Long a hardline Dixie Socialist Party Memeberand was the President during the second Great War against Denikin and his ilk.
The Third President Of Dixie Robert E.Lee once a strong enemy against the Dixie rebellion but as he realized that the majority of his country men in his native state he refused to lead the union saying
“I would rather become a traitor to the union then draw a sword against my countrymen” although he would run as a socialist he would be seen as more or less a centrist.

The following is a excerpt from the 1997, October 1st Edition of The Times
Ungood!
Double Plus Ungood!
Drugs! Badsex! Death!
Smugglers! Traitors! Brotherhood! Eurasians! Goldstein?!? Devil and Death!
Much Dead! 210 murdered in the Town of Cheddar! 210 innocent men, women, children cut to pieces and eaten! Canabalism!
Unsmart proles duckspeak oldthink untruths. Untrue! This Terror: Prole Crimes! Crimedoers: The Devil of Cheddar and White Death!
Devil and Brotherhood of Cheddar cowardly massacer regpol and thinkpol. Devil, Death, and unpersons cannibals! Devil and White Death cowardfight! Cowardkill!
Devil's Equal to Goldstein! Thinkpol will find! Thinkpol bring justice! Hundreds of goodest Thinkpol across Airstrip One hunt for the Devil and Death!
Devil and Death do not deserve Joycamp! They deserves death! Anyone with Devil deserves death! Report Devil! They are cowardly! They are animals!
The Little Devil is a symptom of bigproblems in Oceania. Prole problems. Lazy proles undermine goodvalues of our doubleplusgood nation. Proles plagued every nation throughout history. Like the little devil, proles cannibalize good people and their good efforts. Bad nations let proles be equal instead of less equal then others. Oceania is more then plus good because the prole is separated from party. But sneaky proles still unsupply with their black market. Proles commit ungood thoughtcrimes and badsex with uncare. This prolenature is ungood. Proles are big problem that requires a good big solution!
-11 year old Seras Victoria captured in an unknown location by a thinkpol agents shortly before her first massacre.
While little is known about young prole's early life, Sera's would become a national sensation and propaganda focus for The Party, rivaling if not surpassing Emmanual Goldstein, and for good reason. This photo was delivered to Minilov and Minitruth by the only survivor of the first attempt to apprehend her. She and her accomplice - dubbed White Death - became a symbol of unspeakable evil for the Party, and spelled the grusome demise of many Thinkpol Agents...

After Hulk Hogan & the Macho King Randy Savage's interference in the 1991 Royal Rumble causing a no win disqualification for the heavyweight championship Vince McMahon decided Sargent Slaughter's Iraqi sympathizer gimmick needed to be dropped and Wrestlemania 7 had
Ultimate Warrior (heavyweight champion) vs Earthquake
Hulk Hogan vs Macho king Randy Savage (I quit match)
Hackksaw Jim Dugan vs Sargent Slaughter
Preview for an upcoming project I'll give you three guesses as to what it's about...
1. "Wicker" the new wonder material!
2. People who are too old to be into cosplay.
3. What really happened at Roswell.
Another work of mine from Featherston’s Confederacy:
Members of the Atlanta Ghetto Police pose for a photograph circa 1941.
Ghetto Police (officially known as the Ghetto Auxiliary Policing Service), called 'the Negro Police' by Black Confederates, were police auxiliaries organized by the local ghetto councils called 'Negro Councils or NegCouns for short*' within the myriad of Black Confederate ghettos found throughout the many major cities of the Freedomite Confederate States of America.
Members of the Negro Police wore black or dark blue police uniforms, an identifying armband (not worn in the picture above), a custodian helmet and a badge (though chiefs wore a kepi), they weren’t allowed to carry guns but did carry batons and large knotted sticks. Also a notable feature of the Negro Police was their lack of footwear (including socks), this was done on purpose by the Freedom Party to humiliate them and in the words of Freedom Party Attorney General Ferdinand Koenig:
“To drive home the point that they (the Negro Police) are deemed as sheep dogs looking over the flock of black sheep, readying them for the slaughter.”
In ghettos where the NegroCoun was resistant to Freedomite orders, the Negro police were often used to control or just outright replace the council. One of the largest Negro police units was in the Montgomery Ghetto, where the police numbered about 2,500. The Atlanta Ghetto had about 1,200 with others having similar or smaller numbers to Atlanta’s.
A picture of the Atlanta Ghetto in 1940 (top). Harvey X. Duncan, chief of the Atlanta Ghetto Police circa 1943 (bottom).
The Negro Police was also heavily violent and severely corrupt with Harvey Xavier Duncan, the chief of the Atlanta Ghetto Auxiliary Policing Service, detailing in his memoirs the day-to-day work of the police i.e. protecting food depots, controlling employees at ghetto bakeries or other places of business, and violently putting down riots, as well as patrolling the area and confiscating food from the ghetto residents. He recounts the involvement of Negro Policemen in swindling food rations and in forcing women to provide sexual services in exchange for bread.
The Americo-Jamaican historian and Ghetto archivist Elliot Hill has described the cruelty of the ghetto negro police as "at times greater than that of the Freedom Party Guards or the regular army." The ghetto police ultimately shared the same fate with all their fellow ghetto inmates. During a ghetto’s liquidation they were either killed on–site or sent to extermination camps (usually after rounding up the ghetto residents and putting them on transports to the camps).
