Good idea. The zone of influence of this organization is to mainly stay on the eastern side of the Mississippi. The main difference is the area of expertise. The United Communities is a mainly civilian organization (a local version of the UN). The Dixie Alliance is a mainly military alliance (a local version of NATO). I see no reason why the UC states would not be eligible for membership in the Alliance, and why the Alliance members wouldn't be allowed in the UC. In fact, I would think they would be eager to gain the asistance of Kentucky and Virginia. After all they are regional superpowers in regards to military strength. And there are bound to be situations where negotiations break down with a hostile state, and military force is required. After all, sometimes "You can get more of what you want with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."
