Confederacy of Colinas (Wastelands)

The Confederacy of Colinas is an independent confederation located in Southern California. It is a successor state to Lake Arrowhead, a small township and survivor of Doomsday. It controls most of the former Los Angeles metropolitan area, however most of Los Angeles proper is inhospitable.

In the Neve Declaration, Colinas has officially sought to rid the former United States and Mexico of cruel societies that mistreat citizens, and has opened its borders to post-war democracies (few and far between). Many economic experts say this has caused the ongoing trade war between Baja California, considering they were denied the right for their merchants to use the economically vital Freeway 15.

It is governed by Parliament, who is made up of the Grand Council and the Senate, with the Senate being the upper house. The Prime Minister, who leads Parliament, is appointed by the President, who is elected every 5 years.

Though free speech and freedom of religion have been defined in the Constitution, a heavy crackdown on the People of Inferno has taken place, with all members of that religion deported or forcefully removed. In 2057, Parliament passed a bill not recognizing the People of Inferno as a real religion.
