Early History[]

The term "six flags over Texas" refers to several nations that have ruled over the territory. Spain was the first European country to claim and control the area of Texas. France held a short-lived colony. Mexico controlled the territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence, becoming the Republic of Texas. In 1845, Texas joined the union as the 28th state. The state's annexation set off a chain of events that led to the Mexican–American War in 1846.

Texas was part of the Confederate States of America, commonly referred to as the Confederate States or simply the Confederacy which was an unrecognized herrenvolk republic in North America that existed from February 8, 1861, to May 9, 1865.

The Confederacy comprised U.S. states that declared secession and warred against the United States during the ensuring American Civil War. Eleven U.S. states declared secession from the Union and formed the main part of the CSA. They were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Kentucky and Missouri also had declarations of secession and full representation in the Confederate Congress during their Union army occupation.

The Confederacy was formed on February 8, 1861 by seven slave states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. All seven of the states were located in the Deep South region of the United States, whose economy was heavily dependent upon agriculture—particularly cotton—and a plantation system that relied upon African chattel slaves for labor. Convinced that white supremacy and slavery were threatened by the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. presidency, on a platform which opposed the expansion of slavery into the western territories, the Confederacy declared its secession from the United States, with the loyal states becoming known as the Union during the ensuing American Civil War. In the Cornerstone Speech, Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens described its ideology as centrally based "upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."

Before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861, a provisional Confederate government was established on February 8, 1861. It was considered illegal by the United States federal government, and Northerners thought of the Confederates as traitors. After war began in April, four slave states of the Upper South — Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina — also joined the Confederacy. The Confederacy later accepted the slave states of Missouri and Kentucky as members, accepting rump state assembly declarations of secession as authorization for full delegations of representatives and senators in the Confederate Congress; they were never substantially controlled by Confederate forces, despite the efforts of Confederate shadow governments, which were eventually expelled. The government of the United States rejected the claims of secession as illegitimate.

The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter, a Union fort in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. No foreign government ever recognized the Confederacy as an independent country, although Great Britain and France granted it belligerent status, which allowed Confederate agents to contract with private concerns for weapons and other supplies. By 1865, the Confederacy's civilian government dissolved into chaos: the Confederate States Congress adjourned sine die, effectively ceasing to exist as a legislative body on March 18. After four years of heavy fighting and 620,000–850,000 military deaths, all Confederate land and naval forces either surrendered or otherwise ceased hostilities. The war lacked a formal end, with Confederate forces surrendering or disbanding sporadically throughout most of 1865. The most significant capitulation was Confederate general Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox on April 9, after which any doubt about the war's outcome or the Confederacy's survival was extinguished, although another large army under Confederate general Joseph E. Johnston did not formally surrender to William T. Sherman until April 26. Contemporaneously, President Lincoln had been assassinated by Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth on April 15, 1865. Confederate President Jefferson Davis's administration declared the Confederacy dissolved on May 5, and acknowledged in later writings that the Confederacy "disappeared" in 1865. On May 9, 1865, US president Andrew Johnson officially called an end to the armed resistance in the South.

After the war, Confederate states were readmitted to the Congress during the Reconstruction era, after each ratified the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution outlawing slavery. Lost Cause ideology, an idealized view of the Confederacy valiantly fighting for a just cause, emerged in the decades after the war among former Confederate generals and politicians, as well as organizations such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Intense periods of Lost Cause activity developed around the time of World War I, and during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s in reaction to growing public support for racial equality. Advocates sought to ensure future generations of Southern whites would continue to support white supremacist policies such as the Jim Crow laws through activities such as building Confederate monuments and influencing textbooks to put the Confederacy in a favorable light.

Aftermath of Nuclear attack[]

After the Nuclear attack on America by the Soviets and Cuba, Texas and the Southern States except Florida reformed the Confederate States once again. The white supremacists had taken control once again and they have undone the hard work of the civil rights movement in the Southern States which resulted in hordes of Minorities in fleeing from the South. George H. W. Bush who oppossed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became ruling monarch and he abolished it just as the minorities in the southern states had feared. George H.W Bush restored the Aristocracy of the South once again which resulted in the creation of laws that only allowed promotions, job applications and school attendance to those descended from Southern Nobility, whereas the commoners are forbidden to make money.

Bush had created expansionist policies to expand the Empire and conquer the entirety of America under the domination of the Empire. He desired to conquer New Mexico and Arizona which are both under Mexican subjugation, but that invasion failed due to Mexico getting support from California so they can generate revenue in Mexico. The war with Texas and California helped Disney, the ruling company of California, create a series called Avatar: The Last Airbender which villainous Texas as a nation. George W Bush, the then Crown Prince decided to appease his paranoid civilians whom were paranoid about the Kanye crisis, especially the nobles and segregationist elite who despised the fact an African American Emperor was sitting on the throne.

George H.W Bush, Emperor of Texas lost his Empress Barbara who died in 2018, this made the Emperor loose his will to live and grow weaker by the day. George W Bush, Crown Prince of Texas had become regent for his father until November of 2018 when Bush finally died. George W Bush after the funeral of his father then became Emperor of Texas. George only has two daughters from his wife Laura and both of them are unmarried and without Issue, due to this Jeb Bush became George W Bush's heir.

The Kanye Crisis was solved, but Kanye came back to power and declared himself Emperor Generalissimo of America. Due to this Bush declared war on Kanye and and his Empire. Bush did this because he fears Kanye (a Black Man) ruling a nation as Emperor is a bad thing and he fears that if he fails to defeat Kanye, then the slaves will join Kanye's Army and the Army of Mexico and that will doom Texas and end the Empire that the Bush family established a long time ago.

Government[]

The Government of Texas is an Absolute Monarchy ruled by an Emperor who rules the Empire as an Autocratic Dictator who makes laws, but he does not have to follow them. The Bush Dynasty rules all of Texas and only they with the members of the Southern Nobility are allowed promotions, education and benifits, whereas the peasants don't have any benifits or rights at all. The Church of Texas is incharge of all religeous institutions and education institutions, the Church of Texas is run by Puritans who desire to educate the nobility on why they must stay loyal to Emperor Bush, their families and God Himself.

Order of Succession[]

The Order of succession of Texas is a Semi-Saliac Succession in which the Emperor is succeded by Maternal Grandsons, Sons, Paternal Grandsons, Brothers, Paternal Nephews, Maternal Nephews, Paternal Uncles, Paternal Cousins. No females are allowed to inherit the throne only male descendants born before the Emperor's death are allowed to inherit the throne, if the Emperor's sister, daughter, female paternal cousin or female niece is unmarried without issue, they will have no rights to the throne and reside with their mother in one of the manors owned by the Imperial family if the Emperor dies and they will be under legal guardianship of their mothers (or female relatives of their mothers). If the said unmarried female relatives of the Emperor marry after the Emperor's death, then their children will remain nobility and be heirs to their father's titles of nobility. George W Bush has two daughters, Barbara and Jenna. Both Barbara and Jenna are unmarried and without issue which means if their father dies, they will be subject to live the rest of her life with their mother or female relatives on their mother's side of the family as their legal guardians. Due to this George's brother Jeb is instead the Crown Prince of Texas. The heirs to the Crown Prince have Numbers and Prince, the numbers and the title of Prince symbolize their seniority and their position in the Order of Succession.

Military[]

The Military of Texas is a large force that consists of the 2nd Largest Army in America, after California which has the first. Texas's navy is able to cover the two coasts of the Empire which makes them surround Miami, they might be able to conquer Miami, but Miami is able to resist them due to Miami's army being stronger and the leadership is more component and Texas's forces are weak due to the unfortunate fact that only the sons of the wealthy are allowed to rank up positions, even if they are talented or not.

Army[]

The Army of Texas is the largest faction of the Empire's Imperial Armed Forces, the Army has enough infantry, armored and artillery divisions to cover the vast lands of the Empire. However the Army is poorly trained and it only consists of White people and their senior staff consists of sons of Southerner Nobles who only gained their ranks due to privilege.

Navy[]

The Navy covers two coasts and has hordes of strong boats, but like the Army's senior Leadership, the Navy Senior Command is full of nobles who have no experience but were put in their positions due to title and privilege. Due to this the Navy is weak in organization and is bad at offensive attacks, but good at defending.

Air Force[]

The Air Force of Texas is strong with powerful aircraft, but like it's two fellow factions, Senior Leadership consists of nobles who have no experience but were put in their positions due to title and privilege.

Economy[]

Like the Confederate States of America, most whites in the Empire of Texas are subsistence farmers who traded their surpluses locally. The plantations of the South, with white ownership and an enslaved labor force, produce substantial wealth from cash crops. It supplies two-thirds of the Empire's cotton, which was in high demand for textiles, along with tobacco, sugar, and naval stores (such as turpentine). These raw materials are exported to factories in Cuba, Socialist Gran-Colombia and Socialist Puerto Rico. Planters reinvested their profits in more slaves and fresh land, as cotton and tobacco depleted the soil.

Slave labor is applied in industry in a limited way in the Upper South and in a few port cities. One reason for the regional lag in industrial development was top-heavy income distribution. Mass production requires mass markets, and slaves living in small cabins, using self-made tools and outfitted with one suit of work clothes each year of inferior fabric, did not generate consumer demand to sustain local manufactures of any description in the same way as did a mechanized family farm of free labor in the North. The Southern economy was "pre-capitalist" in that slaves were put to work in the largest revenue-producing enterprises, not free labor markets. That labor system as practiced in the American South encompassed paternalism, whether abusive or indulgent, and that meant labor management considerations apart from productivity.

The second industry of Texas is the slave market which Texas imports slaves from the socialist nations of Angola, Cuba, the West Indies and Gran-Colombia. The Slaves of those nations consist of criminals, political prisoners and people who are enemies of the regime with their loved ones and closest friends. The Slaves Texas exports consist of non white minorities living in the South with their loved ones and closest friends and they are exported to California, Cuba, the West Indies, Gran-Colombia and Angola, Texas's main slave trade partner who receives enslaved non white children from Texas to work them in the film industry owned by Disney or be groomed as actors and actresses for media. Sadly this trade had gotten interrupted by Mexico who did not approve of it's territories being used for a inhumane slave trade industry. Imperial Mexican soldiers have raided slave caravans and freed slaves which has caused trouble for Texas.

Texas despite importing entertainment products from California has it's own entertainment companies. The most successful of these companies are WowNow Entertainment and Live Bait Studios for they are funded by the Government who owns religious institutions throughout the Empire as they are used by the government to create propaganda.

Demographics[]

Ethnic Groups[]

The majority ethnic group of Texas is Caucasian Americans who are known to be the dominant ethnic group of Texas. The Whites are the only people allowed to have rights and gain citizenship. Other ethnic groups such as African Americans, Asian Americans, Latin Americans and Native Americans are nothing more than slaves that Texas gained from Socialist Countries and are usually carted off to California to work as slaves for Disney. This unequal and cruel racism results in many people (except for the elites of Texas) fleeing the Empire to neighboring countries who are enemies of Texas causing a shrinking population crisis.

Religion[]

The Empire of Texas has the entirety of the Bible Belt which is a region of the Southern United States in which socially conservative Protestant Christianity plays a strong role in society and politics, and church attendance across the denominations is generally higher than the nation's average. The region contrasts with the religiously diverse Midwest and Great Lakes, and the Mormon corridor in Utah and southern Idaho. The evangelical influence is strongest in northern Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, southern and western Virginia, West Virginia, the Upstate region of South Carolina, and East Texas where the capital of Austin Texas is located.

The Revolution turned more people toward Methodist and Baptist preachers in the South. The Cane Ridge Revival and subsequent "camp-meetings" on the Kentucky and Tennessee frontiers were the impetus behind the Restoration Movement. Traveling preachers used music and song to convert new members. Shape-note singing became a fundamental part of camp meetings in frontier regions. In the early decades of the 18th century, the Baptists in the South reduced their challenge to class and race. Rather than pressing for freedom for slaves, they encouraged planters to improve treatment of them, and ultimately used the Bible to justify slavery.

Culture[]

The Southern States of the USA are known for having a more relaxed pace of life and being more conservative than those in the north.  Southerners are typically very friendly and polite. The culture is slightly more formal than in the northern states.  People often show respect by calling men “sir” and women “mam,”  responding to questions with “yes, maam,” “no, sir,” etc.  This is particularly true outside of cities and in the rural farming towns of the South.
