[b]Territory:[/b] Texas (minus Golf Coast region) and Oklahoma.

[b]History:[/b] After the Second Korean War happened, then-Texas Governor Richard Buchard had started stockpiling money, resources, fuel and food - since many analysists had predicted, that the Second Korean War might blow up any seven ways. Most feared the global distruption and damage to the world economy that might happen - if either Japan or South Korea were bombed.

Things turned completely three-hundred sixty - when the United States lost in a naval battle against China. From there the crisis developed further until the Washington Massacre happened and the entire country was thrown into rebellion.

With California the first state to seceed completely from the union - Texas soon followed suit, folding any remaining property of the United States into the New Texas Republic. With many states devolving into anarchy, collapsing or former radical ideals - then President Richard Buchard, deployed what Army Forces had been formed to 'secure' the state of Oklahoma into the New Texas Republic. Both being easily able to be persuaded to join the Republic - as Texas had both the manpower, population and resources to become the South-Western regional power. 

Despite the military and economic power of the New Texas Republic - they also plagued by crackdowns and internment camps. As President Buchard, has unleashed a round-up of many left-wing politicians, civil servants, citizens and journalists. His policies are multi-racial, as he only targets people based on their political 'beliefs' only. As such, the world only knows of having the opposition being denied a say in the policies of Texas and nothing more. 

With the rise of the APSF - it has become a one-way ticket to the internment camps, if anybody so much as organizes a protest, a rally or a civil rights march. Anything related to undermining the the policies of the the New Texas Republic is grounds for immediate crackdowns and arrests.

[b]Military Forces[/b]: Most of the former US Army and Air Bases had been absorbed in to the new state - with active soldiers being given the choice to either join the new state' army or be honorably discharged for their service. In the chaos of the Second American Civil War - most chose to stay in the freshly formed Texas Army.

Many of the former US-equipment was painted over and shipped into the hands of the Texas Army - while a draft had been instituted to help build up their numbers. While several civilians militias have been given government funding to be formed.
