The Great Plains Federation is a self-proclaimed breakaway state in the midwest region of North America. It lies in the northern most central region of the former United States occupying an area of 407,968 sq mi, with a population of about 15,000,000. The Great Plains Federation is made up of all, or parts of the former states of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and parts of southern South Dakota. The people of the Great Plains Federation are usually seen as ultra conservative, dirt farmers with a stubborn streak a mile wide. People of the federation are still generally more tolerated and tolerant than any other successor states in the former USA, as they often are familiar with or were previous members of some other faction. The federation has enjoyed relative stability and prosperity since it's creation. It maintains good relations with the Republic of Custer, Oklahoma and the Great Dakotas. It has been at odds with East Kansas, North Colorado and West Texas.
Politics
The executive powers of the federation are vested in a Premier, a Deputy-Premier (who in case of the death, removal, resignation, or absence of the Premier has gubernatorial powers and would perform gubernatorial duties), a Secretary, a Treasurer and an Auditor. The Assembly consists of an upper house, called the Council, led by a Chairman; and a lower house, the House of Representatives, led by a Speaker of the House. The Council has 15 members, the House has 200. The term of members of the Council and the House of Represenatatives is two years. The term for Premier and Deputy-Premier is 4 years.
Military
The Federation Armed Forces has around 36,500 personnel (Army 33,000, Air Force 3,000, Navy 500). There are four military regions in the army. The army is organized into ten divisions. The naval force primarily patrols the Mississippi River and the numerous rivers that flow through the nation.
