Australis Confederacy

The Australis Confederacy, also known as the Australis Confederation, is a nation in Prsata. The Confederation boasts one of the largest territorial claims on the entire continent, spanning multiple thousands of chunks.

Founding

The Australis Confederacy is primarily made up of refugees from a server named Datblock. Due to the rampant doxxing attacks on Datblock, Southnsniper, then president of the Republic of Florida, and TeamTokes, President of the Ironwood Federation, ordered for their communities to pull out of the server. After some time on CCNET, Stoneworks, and other servers, they finally settled in Alathra.

History

The group, often called the "First Five", originally settled on the northwestern continent. Due to geopolitical tensions and an abundance of land in the south, the group made the 8,000 block voyage to Cape Bartow. The capital of Newer Polk was founded on June 13th, 2023.

The first days of the new town were tough. Constant massacres by mobs throughout the night meant that the disorganized populace went through a lot. Eventually, walls were built and the first builders created the Capital House in downtown Newer Polk.

Name dispute

The original name for the Confederation was to be the Confederate States of Alathra. The move was intended to be a peaceful one, as the group wanted to make a good use of the name. At the request of the mods however, the name was changed to Australis, latin for south.

Modern era

The Ironwood Estates were founded soon after Newer Polk got off the ground. Newer Polk began expanding inland, eventually amassing the largest claim in Prsata. Roads are being built to connect those territories, with the I-95 running from Newer Polk down to Ironwood.

Newer Polk has established a system of neighborhood farms, where each resident could purchase 2 plots in one purchase to build a horse and small farm. Newer Polk has also introduced the use of apartment complexes, engineered by yardog9.

The Confederation has quickly been noticed by its allies on the server, and with their defense industry growing, they are expected to play a vital role in geopolitics for years to come.

Government structure

Government of the Confederacy is based off the old republican-style governments that were present on Datblock. Notable figures include:

• southnsniper- The Caesar (latin for emperor) of the Confederation, who has complete authority over the Armed Forces, in addition to general leadership in other fields
• TeamTokes- The Prime Minister of the Confederation, who is responsible for leading the State Department through its negotiations
• _pyrovision_- The Chief Engineer at Newer Polk, responsible for building road infrastructure. (Replaced yardog9 on July 14th, after he was banned from the server)

Defense

The Naval Jack of the Navy

The Confederation Army is one of the few known armies in the world to use war dogs. Each soldier is assigned multiple K-9's to act as a force multiplier in battle. The Army is experienced in ground warfare, as it is primarily made up of experienced veterans with training and war in other servers. Each Army soldier is required by law to have their shield carry the flag of the Confederation. This also applies to the State Militias whenever they are mobilized.

Each town is required by the constitution to maintain a militia that may be called into service with the National Army. This system, similar to the U.S National Guard, is meant to keep the Army at full strength in any battle. When militia is mobilized, the town mayor may draft all of his residents to form a town guard to defend the town while the militia is at war.

The Confederation Navy currently possesses 4 warships:

• CSS Ironwood, combat corvette
• CSS Gator, combat destroyer
• CSS Titan, CLASSIFIED
• CSS Cortez, A cargo ship
• CSS Technoblade, UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Navy is set to construct two bases on each side of the nation to serve as a headquarters for 2 separate fleets, each to be equipped with 5 top of the line ships and a undisclosed amount of K-9's to act as Marines.

The next ship class is being based off the USS Constitution. The first ship of this type, CSS Technoblade, is under construction.

Law Enforcement

National Police Badge

While under the department of defense, the Australis Confederacy National Police serves a different role than it's sister services. These include:

• Claims Enforcement
• Investigation
• Federal Arrests
• Warrants

Troopers of the Department wear the same military shield as their army counterparts, however they wear it with a thin blue line going horizontally across the banner, as to mark their status as law enforcement.

Economy and culture

Agriculture and mining are the major contributors to the economy in the nation, followed closely by engineering, ship building, and trade.

The Confederation is known for its close bond and welcoming attitudes. The oldest citizen has been following the community since 2021. The culture of the Australis resembles closely to that of the American state of Florida, also taking inspiration from regions such as the Southern United States, Central America and Oceania.

The Confederation is known for its horse racing, a tradition going back to Florida times. A dedicated racing league, based off of NASCAR, will open soon with dedicated racetracks all around the world.
