Confederate States of America (Their Gallant Dead)

The Confederate States of America is a federal constitutional republic consisting of twenty states and a federal district. Eighteen states, as well as the federal district of Washington, D.D., are located on the North American mainland, and are therefore referred to as the "contiguous 18". The states of Cuba and Alaska are located below and far above the others, respectively. The contiguous 18 are bordered to the north by the United States of America, and bordered to the south by Mexico. Alaska shares its border with Canada, while Cuba is an island in the Carribean. The Confederacy is home to 95 million people as well as the world's third largest economy, behind the British and German Empires. It is also one on the world's leading nations in terms of technology and culture.
