Confederacy of Ekcinere

Name is derived from Ex Cinere, Latin for "from ashes".

Population: TBD

The Confederacy of Ekcinere, often shortened to the Confederacy or Ekcinere, is a federation of multiple states and cities, mainly clustered in the former city of Los Angeles. The LA area was hit hard by ICBMs from multiple directions, and many assumed the city would not recover. Anarchy broke out in the city fairly quickly, and entire neighborhoods burned to the ground. However, the small community of Lake Arrowhead in the San Gabriel Mountains was spared from disaster, and the city quickly became a bustling but isolated paradise, surrounded by misery and fire. After a few years, the town's leaders began expanding, opening up to trade. This proved nearly fatal, as raiders and poachers attacked the city from every direction, but the city's police force held out. As radiation levels cooled down, most of the former LA was absorbed into Lake Arrowhead, which after the formal adoption of a constitution, become a confederacy with a strong federal government.
