Confederacy of Independent States

We are in need of new members so be sure to enroll today!

We are also looking for flying ship builders, so comment if you are interested in joining. We are the Confederacy of Independent States. Our goal is to eventually regain our status as a world power, something that we somewhat lost following the end of World War II and officially lost following the Civil War caused by the communists. We partake in peace keeping missions, and support our allies when they request our help. We are also a member of both the Sol System Alliance and the Concorde Treaty Alliance.

History
The wars we fought date back to the days of the Confederacy of Carolina, which include the Independence War in 1789, the Carolinian Anti-Piracy operations in the Mediterranean, The Second World War, The Korean War, our Civil War in the late 1950's, The War on Terror, British-Carolinian Conflict, the Western War, and most recently World War V. Although we tried to maintain our neutrality, we were forced into the Second World War when Japan and Amerinia attempted to take out our naval power during the Battle of New Berlin. After the war, we aligned ourselves with NATO against the communist nations such as the USSR, PRC and North Korea. We joined the Concorde Treaty Alliance after the Civil War, and fought in a few minor conflicts up until the Ulysses Continental War. The most recent wars include the British-Carolinian War, the Western War and the ongoing Fifth World War.

Our Home
The following is a map of the Confederacy and the nearby islands which are either states or are apart of states. [[File:Carolina_CIS.png|thumb|left|350px|Black- 0-500,000 people

Green- 500,000-1,000,000 people

Blue- Greater than 1,000,000 people

Yellow- Current Capitol, 900,000 people

Orange- Abandoned/nuked cities

Red-Orange- Former capitol]]

During the British-Carolinian Conflict, 10 cities were nuked by the Federation of the Western Hemisphere, and blame was immediately place on the British. When the Armistice was signed, the Anti-British sentiment became worse than it was before the war. However, when it was revealed that the Federation had nuked the cities and betrayed the Empire, everything changed.

Military Branches
There are, of course, military branches that defend the Confederacy from all enemies.

The biggest branch in the military is the Confederate Army, with 15,400,000 active duty personnel and 4,750,000 reserve personnel. The second biggest is the Confederate Marine Corps, with 4,200,000 active personnel, and 1,300,000 reserve personnel. The third largest is the Confederate Naval Forces, with 3,400,000 active personnel and 1,042,000 reserve personnel. The fourth largest is the Confederate Air Forces, with 1,430,000 active personnel, and 409,000 reserve personnel. The fifth largest is the Confederate Naval Air Forces, which became its own branch following the Western War. It has 1,105,000 active personnel and 402,000 reserve personnel. The Coast Guard is the smallest of the seven branches, with only 270,000 active personnel, and 194,000 reserve.

Only days after the devastating 4th of March attacks on the Confederacy, Admiral of the Navy Jack Reed created the Recon Corps, an elite and separate military branch consisting of an all active duty, 3,072,000 man shock trooper force made up of members trained by Marine special forces units. Tougher than Marines of any nation, these guys know how to get the job done, and they get it done quick. By air, by land, by sea, the Recon Corps is ready to take the fight to the enemy.

The main small arms of the Confederacy are the AR-15, M4A3, M16A4, Advanced Combat Rifle, Colt M1911.45, M9 Berretta, and the Sig Saucer P226. The Confederacy only operates one Heavy Machine Gun, the MG3.

As of July 5th 2015, the draft has been initiated. This the first time in history that this has happened, and will be kept up until the end of the war. Training for the first 250,000 is to be over in 3 months.

Army/Marines/Recon
The Army, Marines and Recon Corps all operate MBTs and IFFs.

Air Force/Naval Air Force/Marine Air Corps
The Air Force, Naval Air Force and Marine Air Corps all operate aircraft with similar roles, and work closely with eachother during times of crisis.

Naval Forces
Place your ships here if your ship is apart of this navy.

The Confederacy mainly uses surface ships, but has begun to use aerospace vessels to keep up with other countries. The Coast Guard is not listed as it does not fall under the same department as the other branches.

3-4-15 American planes attack military and civilian targets in the CIS! New Charleston nuked! Forces are now mobilized!

3-4-15 WAR DECLARED

Casualties from all attacks still mounting. Military cannot fight back.

3-5-15 WAR UPDATE

Advance into Fed-controlled US has stalled due to nuclear attacks on the front line. Current casualties from US attacks on civilians mount to 37 million people dead, 120 million displaced and wounded. Military casualties mount to 200,000 dead, 1 million wounded, including in the American Campaign. Provisional government set up in Tamarack, all available military in the Western Confederacy are preparing to go to the US.

3-6-15 The war is now beginning to look like it is dragging out, and now at least half a million troops inside the Confederacy are ready to be deployed if needed anywhere in the world.

3-7-15 CIS applies for SSA membership and is accepted.

3-14-15 With Southeast Asia, Australia New Zealand and India swearing allegiance to the Fourth Reich, the Confederacy now is preparing to fight a two front war. New Castle class Aerospace Cruisers have now entered production, and new surface combatants are being brought into service. All air units have been placed on the highest alert in the event of an invasion or more bombing raids. Due to the proximity of Fourth Reich forces to the CIS, coastal fortifications have now been set up along all beaches in the west and naval patrols have been stretched further around the CIS to prevent an amphibious invasion.

3-17-15 The first of the New Castle class Aerospace Cruisers have entered service, and self-built drop pods for the Recon Corps have entered mass production, and space-capable drop ships for these cruisers have entered the blueprint phase.

With Fourth Reich bombers striking Confederacy cities, Command is looking at plans for a counter strike.

5-2-15 War against the Fourth Reich has been halted by a ceasefire agreement signed by both sides in order to combat the Sith together.

5-20-15 -CLASSIFIED TIER 2- Agents within the Fourth Reich occupied Australian territory has nabbed some designs on some of the new tanks placed along the DMZ lines. Whilst no weak points can be identified, intelligence and scientists are hard at work creating copies for our forces, and are creating versions that could be exported to other nations.

5-31-15 All Confederate forces in Australia have finished fortifying positions in the event of a Fourth Reich attack which would break the ceasefire agreement. This was done in response to the merger of the Federation Remnant and PANZER, expanding the Fourth Reich.

6-5-15 The 1st Expeditionary Unit (Recon) and the 3rd Army Expeditionary Force have both been deployed to Amerinia and Viridia respectively following a concerning report about unidentified aircraft and ships patrolling near Amerinian and Viridian waters in the same manners as the Fourth Reich. While these ships and aircraft cannot be identified as belonging to the Reich, it is still worrisome that a unknown group of ships and aircraft have gotten that close to our allies waters, and the 17th Fleet stationed in Fruerlundholz has now been tasked with patrolling the region for anymore unidentified fleets.

6-16-15 The 9th, 17th, 21st and 22nd Army Expeditionary Forces were stationed in France in fear that the now more powerful Fourth Reich, with PANZER at the helm, would attack the French, and our fears were right. As of June 16th, 2015, the War has resumed, with heavy casualties for both sides, the heaviest casualties being Confederate. There is currently a bloody land, sea and air battle going on.

6-17-15 France has been lost, but Israel must not fall. Over a million troops have been sent to Israel to assist in fighting German forces that could invade at any moment. And more people are now signing up for military service. In an unfortunate turn of events, the Cattirians have made peace with the Fourth Reich and have made an alliance with them, and reports are coming in that they even attacked French troops during the Battle of France. While these are so far unconfirmed, the President is placing economic sanctions on the commonwealth. These are only temporary, and are to be lifted when the war is over. The sudden betrayal of the Cattirians has also strained relations between them and Carolina badly.

6-22-15 Following the Coalition catastrophe at Australia, Confederate troops will begin to go on the defensive, and sanctions against the Cattirians will be lifted, and an alliance formed with them, as they took part in the fight and lost 200,000 troops to the Germans.

7-4-15 President Greenwood authorizes the use of the war flag.

7-5-15 For the first time in Carolinian history, the Parliament has invoked Article III Section IV of the National Defense Act of 1948, calling on a draft of 5.5% of the population into the Armed Forces of Carolina upon calls from citizens to increase military power to take on the Germans. President Greenwood has also announced that following the war, there will be a possible reorganization of the military into a defense force, but would not severely decrease military numbers. Opposition to both decisions seems to be nonexistent. All reserve units have also been activated.

7-8/9-15 A communist rebellion in Gallia has sparked the Second Gallian Civil War, and after an attempted assassination of Archlordess Catherine III of the NAR and Lucille II of Gallia by a Cattirian radicalist, war was declared on Cattiria by Gallia and the NAR, and the Confederacy immediately pledge support to take down the communist scum. We are holding off attacking Cattiria unless something new occurs.

7-11-15 Naval command has authorized the construction of several new major surface combatants to counter the German Kriegsmarine. These vessels will be among the largest vessels ever built by Carolina. Construction of the New Sydney class Heavy Cruisers, Independence class Battlecruisers and Enyo class Battleships is set to end within one week.

7-15-15 Training for the first group of volunteers who enlisted into military service following the March 4th Attacks has been completed, and the training for the second group is set to end starting on the 18th of July, and the third on the 25th of July.

7-19-15 With the strong majority of Millennium troops defecting to the Coalition, the odds of victory have turned in our favor with numbers and confiscated German equipment. We will study the equipment given to us by the Resistance and reverse engineer whatever we can.
