Confederation of Southern Warlords

The Confederation of Southern Warlords (CSW or, as it was commonly known, the Magnolia Republic) was an attempt by certain factions in the Southern Warzone declared by the Treaty of St Louis to create a nation state out of the rubble. It was largely backed by the massive warlord group the Brotherhood of Blood, but existed almost entirely due to the charisma and drive of its first President, Beauregard LeBlanc. It came into indirect conflict with the Second American Republic and People's Republic of Texas, both of whom relied on the region's instability for black market trade. After the larger nation collapsed in 2097, the region fell into chaos and was invaded on a "Mission of Stabiliziation" by the Second American Republic in 2098, with the Confederation government capitulating officially on December the 10th.
