Confederate States of North America (Yarmuk)

The Confederate States of North America was formed from the Vice Royalty of New Byzantium which was made redundant by the overthrow of the Byzantine Empire in 1851. Inspired by the spirit of the revolution that had shook Europe, the people of New Byzantium overthrew the Viceroy and established a state system similar to that used by the United States of America to the north-east.

Early Days
To begin with, without support from the main Byzantine Empire, the Confederate States of North America struggled to strengthen its economy. Close trading links were established with the fellow Byzantine breakaway state, the Kingdom of Grand Inca. This proved mutually beneficial in setting up the two new states' economies. Much influence was exerted over the rest of the Caribbean, although this proved to be not as profitable.

The American Civil War
In 1861, troops from the similarly named Confederate States of America attacked Union troops at Fort Sumter.
