New Dixie
A nation founded under the leadership of George Wallace in 1964, located in the South-East part of the former states Alabama, with territory in former Georgia and Florida. It is mostly agricultural based, but it also holds influence over the region because of its trade and military.

History
Birth of a Nation After the events of the Great Nuclear War, Governor John Patterson ordered martial law over the state of Alabama. Patterson used the National Guard lead by General Henry V Graham to try to keep control of the state with the rise in crime rates, riots, and the lack of supplies for the citizens. In January 8 1963 Governor Patterson passed an executive order disbanding the Alabama Legislature. This decision created outrage among many of the state’s leaders and citizens, George Wallace had been the Democratic nominee in the election of 1962 and was considered by many to be the successor for the Governorship. Wallace realized that his chance to come to power had been denied, he started meeting with the state leaders and the local militias which had been forming throughout towns across the south. June 11 1963 George Wallace, with the support of General Clifton von Kann commander of Fort Rucker Army Base, declared that Patterson had become a tyrant and had to be stopped. This Declaration would begin the Alabama Civil War. Wallace soon gained support from the people of Alabama who blamed Governor Patterson for being unable to handle the race wars in Birmingham and Selma. The Civil War would last 10 months ending on April 5 1964, when General Kann’s Troops captured the Capital of Montgomery. One week later General Henry Graham would officially surrender to George Wallace on the Capital’s steps.

'''Constitutional Convention of 1964" After the end of the Civil War George Wallace ordered that delegates from the communities of Alabama to be sent to the capital to design and pass a new Constitution for the Government. The Convention would begin August 3 and would last until December 22 1964. The Constitution of New Dixie was based on that of Alabama State Constitution and The Constitution of the Confederate States of America. The Delegates at the convention would appoint George Wallace to serve as the first president of New Dixie for one six-year term. January 16 1965 President George Wallace takes office.

''“Today I have stood, where once Jefferson Davis stood, and took an oath to my people. It is very appropriate that in then that from this cradle of the Confederacy, this very Heart of the Great Anglo-Saxon Southland, that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generation of forebears before us, time and time again through history. Let us rise to the call of freedom-loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny that clanks chains upon the South. In the name of the Greatest people that have ever trod this Earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny and I say Dixie Today. Dixie Tomorrow. Dixie Forever.”''
