Government of the Western Alliance of Independent States

The Western Alliance of Independent States (WAIS) is in form a confederacy. After the treaty of New Orleans the twenty states making up the WAIS came together and agreed that they would never form a republic like the old one of the USA. The diversity of the needs of each state and their inability to find a common agreed upon group of national leaders led to the the settling on a confederation system.

The Districts each nominated one member from each District to sit on the the original Council of Confederation. The first matter of discussion was where to seat the capital. Texas was ruled out due to the damage to the major cities there in the war. California with its port cities was a major contender, but again the damage left over from the war would make using either Los Angeles or San Francisco difficult. The members of the Confederation council declared after much debate to name Denver the functioning capital of the WAIS. This was due to its central location (protection from invasion) and access to Cheyenne Mountain for defense.

Each state would elect 4 members from each state based on equal geographic space. In order to represent a quadrant from any state, said representative has to live in that quadrant and no other. From that body one leader is elected as Prime Speaker for the Alliance. After his or her election as Prime Speaker the quadrant of the home district where the PS is from holds another election to replace the missing representative. While this does not give equal demographic representation, it does prevent any one state from overwhelming the others. Each District has agreed to maintain one currency and open borders between Districts. National borders are strictly closed to foreigners except through a lengthy application process to enter. When a visa expires the Rangers (equivalent to the FBI) are designated to locate any foreign national still within the WAIS and escort them to the nearest border.

WAIS designated the Eagle as its base currency. The eagle is a coin stamped from a gold alloy. A hawk is stamped from a silver alloy, and is counted as half an eagle. Next comes the dove (made of nickel), and the starling (made of copper), starlings are colloquially known as droppings. An eagle counts like ten dollars, with hawks as a dollar, doves a half, starlings ten cents. As of 2028 the first Prime Speaker is elected, with the surprise being a woman, Bennedetto Mary Peto, a strong leader from the Dakota's who had distinguished herself in the combat there during the early winter of 2026.
