Confederation of Southern States (Wastelands: No More)

The Confederation of Southern States, or abbreviated as the CSS, is a sovereign state, situated around the areas of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and several parts of North and South Carolina. With a population estimated to be around 3.7 million, the Confederation of Southern States is a secondary power, with around 10,000 enlisted as active personnel, and about 50,000 enlisted as reserves.

It is part of the Mississippi Trade Group, a small trade pact between the USMA, CSS, Vicksburg, and New France. The CSS was founded in 2094 with the signing of the Memphis Charter, uniting several southern nations under a single banner. In 2113, the many states of the CSS were united under several banners.

The Asheville Uprising, beginning in 2130, was an uprising in the city of Asheville and the surrounding region, due to the high number of refugee and African-Americans dissatisfied with the Confederate government's policies in the area, forming a paramilitary organization known as the Tiger Vanguard. Currently, the Tiger Vanguard controls much of western North Carolina, and are seen as the CSS's grip on the region slowly loosening. The Tiger Vanguard is protected by the uninhabited Nantahala National Forest, avoiding conflict with the CSS.
