	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.		Each state would elect 4 members from each state based on equal geographic space.

	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. Districts maintain an individualized District police agency, with really only the ~~Rangers~~ crossing borders for law enforcement. There is a functional extradition agreement with the independent nations of Texas and Louisiana. No such agreement exists between the WAIS and the FAS. Repeat illegal immigrants are imprisoned for hard labor. Political prisoners (spies for the FAS) are locked away and tortured. Some are killed. Some wish they would be.

Anyone capable of passing a leadership course gets promoted to officer level.

	The District of Native Nations came out of the combined Apache, Hopi, Navajo, Yaqui peoples petitioning the WAIS for District status. These peoples provided front line warriors and scouts, and towards the beginning of the war helped lure in a large detachment of troops, then shut them down.

	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. Nevada was ruled out, no one wanted Sin City for a capital. Phoenix was seriously considered but the gang presence and violence in the wake of the war made it an unstable element. California with its port cities was a major contender, but 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. <br>		The Districts each nominated one member from each District to sit on the the original Council of Confederation.

	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 one dollar, with hawks as half a dollar, doves a half, starlings ten cents. Denominations larger than an eagle are made of a paper/plastic bank note.
