Texas

The Republic of Texas is a fully independent Free State neighbouring the New United States of America.

Overview
Texas is notable for being the first of the Free States. They declare it in 1999 (renaming itself the Republic of Texas) after the government tried to control its weapons and, was officially recognized in 2000. Texas was followed by Alaska (2000), California (2002), Nevada (2003), and Utah (2014).

Texas Rangers (highway patrol) and the Texas National Guard have been unified into one peacekeeping command headquartered out of College Texas A&M, also it has problems with smuggling from Mexican Border.

By 2077, the Republic of Texas remained an independent Free State. Unlike the others, Texas didn't sign the Treaty of Unification after the War, making it a fully sovereign nation.

Following suicide bombings in New United States military bases in New Mexico and Oklahoma, President Rosalind Myers openly blamed Texas for the attacks and ordered retaliatory bombings on airports in the Texan cities of Wellington and El Paso. Both sides expressed a desire to avoid conflict, but bookies put the odds on a border war breaking out in the near future at 3-to-1.
