Confederation of Appalachia

 * Government: The civil war is over, but there is much to be done inside the new countries government. After a long three weeks during a government session many questions were solved for the new country. The first thing decided was to change the old name of The Confederate States of America, to a more destinct name, The Confederation of Appalachia. The second thing decided was the capital which was decided to be Charlotte, North Carolina. The last and final thing was the Constitution which is below.
 * The Constitution of Appalachia: The Constitution of Appalachia which was adopted after the Second American Civil War, is the official set of government laws of Appalachia. The Constitution is in short a mix of The Articles of Confederation, The United States Constitution, and The Confederate States Constitution. The main things mainly kept from the US Constitution is the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches, along with the election cycle (besides its now the popular vote) with the four year term with a chance of reelection. A new type of States Rights was also developed, States have the right to anything besides having an army/militia, outside trade deals, foreign relations, and taxes, the taxes will still be collected by the state but will be given to the government for us of developing the country, trade deals, and the military with others. As for the ratification of laws, states can implement their own laws as they wish as long as it doesn't violate human rights, interfere with the government, or nationalism. As for any state/country wanting to join the union, they have to comply by all these laws. However their some national laws that states have to comply by, which will be covered later in the laws section.
 * Elections: After the first Government Session, an election was held on September 25th to elect the new president of Appalachia. There were 4 main parties running in the first campaigning session, the first being the Republican Party, who although won the last US election, hold very little influence anymore since the collapse and failure of Donald Trump, they are led by old South Carolinan Governor Henry McMaster. The second is of course the Democrat party led by Hillary Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, while the Democrats did lose influence in the region they still hold a loyal fanbase which could help them win. Thirdly is the Patriot Party, led by Emily Wasser, who is aligned towards a green party type of ideology for the country but with a more heavy type of immigration policy, not that much is known about her and the party, but people looking for a new party to support are looking towards her. The last party is the White Party, a nationalistic party actively supported by the KKK for a reimplatation of jim crow laws and more policies to impower the white even more, many don't see this party even coming close but only time will tell.
 * Polls:
 * Republican Party/Henry McMaster - 21.24%
 * Democrat Party/Tim Kaine - 35.12%
 * Patriot Party/Emily Wasser: - 38.87%
 * White Party/John Hertz: - 5.77%
 * Laws:
 * Conscription Laws: Unlike in The Articles of Confederation, states are still required to help raise a national army and help preserve it at all times as in these days we are surrounded by enemies everywhere.
 * Healthcare Laws: While in most confederations healthcare are up to the states/nations but not in Appalachia. Healthcare is going to be universal (once our economy is able to sustain it and as of right now you have to have a job or be disabled to get it), but in more of a tier system for people. For example. people who do not work, abuse the system of healthcare and do drugs and smoke will still get healthcare but in a smaller ammount and are required to get some type of job in a year to keep it or it will be stripped of them into a even lower tier.
 * Economy: Our economy is very weak as we just came out of a civil war and out country wasn't in the greatest places in the first place. As we also have a need to rebuild and as our infastructure is basically destroyed.
 * Government Jobs: This will be more up to the states in the future but as of right now people are required to get into government jobs to help reinstate the economy and help rebuild our country.
 * Activation of Conscription: This will help deal with unemployment give more people jobs and help defend the country from our enemies, this is current implamented for right now but will not be in the future.
