| — Description when forming the Confederation of Northern States |
The Confederation of the Northern States is a releasable formable located in North America 
formed by 
New England. The formable has a sizable amount of territory consisting of both the 
United States and 
Canada.
Background[]
The Confederation of Northern States was a proposed confederation that emerged in 1803-1804, with its origins dating as early as 1796, by factions within the New England Federalists, particularly the Essex Junto. This confederation would have consisted of New England, New York, the Mid-Atlantic States, and British Canada.
The plot was spearheaded by politicians such as Timothy Pickering, William Plumer, and Aaron Burr. Timothy Pickering would later go on to continue advocating for the secession of New England.
The motivations for secession were driven by various factors, including the Democratic-Republicans' victory in the 1800 elections, the political influence of the Southern states, the declining leverage of the Federalists in the Northeastern states, the possible implications of new states being formed out of French Louisiana, and the influence of slavery due to the three-fifths compromise.
Plans to carry out secession hinged on the 1804 New York gubernatorial election, where the Federalists would support Aaron Burr's ascension to the governorship to swing New York and New England into secession. New York would have served as the core of the confederation, and the New Englanders drafted plans for bringing in the British to aid their secession. However, the plot failed due to Alexander Hamilton's strong opposition to Aaron Burr and the plot, leading to Burr's defeat.
The idea was briefly resurrected during the War of 1812 at the Hartford Convention. However, the victory of the Americans at the Battle of New Orleans crushed the remaining influence of the Federalists and thus ended the conspiracy of the Northern Confederacy as a whole.
Geography[]
Terrain[]
Not so intriguingly, the vast landscape of the Confederation of Northern States only can accommodates the flat terrain across its country. The lands in its southern region explicitly overlaps the northern zone of the Appalachian Mountains which is corresponded with a Semi-Mountainous terrain. The mountain range can in a possible way provide a spatial hotspot for artillery units in the region so as long as it is given some defenses.
Biomes[]
From the perspective look at its territory, no biomes are at all found in its landmass. This changes however during late autumn when the presence of Mild Winter begin to show up which through observation extends from the most northern point of its territory to Boston and then bordering throughout the west, not far from its original latitude. During the winter season, it gradually worsens into Severe Winter while the rest of its land is then completely obscured in Mild Winter. During this time period, the immediate effects makes routing troops much more slower and can endorse a temporary advantage for the nation's for its defensive state. The biome will dissipate away during spring.
Political[]
It's location only borders two nations; from much of the north would be Canada and from the south, the United States. While Canada won't be too much of a threat despite having largest border with the Confedederation of Northern States, the USA however is much different. For one issue, there is the case where the proximity between the Confederation and the USA's would literally be inside one another. That is the example with New York, along with its neighboring cities which are in contact of the two cities: Mount Vernon and Yonkers. And this is much worse as there are many other cities it has in close range to the USA's own cities and can put a strong military presence right on its presence. Its main advantange however is the number of port cities it owns. In which case this would help the nation, if it can support a large fleet beforehand, challenge the USA's own.
Economy & Manpower[]
Economy[]
With the Confederation of Northern States's economic power, its generates an income of at least $1,657,874 on a daily basis. To divide it, all of $1,631,922 is made from tax income. The smear $25,952 would come from the resource income. We can also begin with source different regions of the tax revenue. Your highest tax revenue would come from the Canada regions generating $636,929 or slightly more than 1/3 of the total income. New England would come next with $590,096 tax revenue. Then followed by the regions formerly owned by the United States generating $404,539. And finally to end with it, 
Saint Pierre and Miquelon would only gives off $360.
Manpower[]
Manpower gain for the Confederation of Northern States is based at 2,433 daily. For its maximum manpower capacity with its starting conscription law, it can only hold at most 774,452 manpower. It outsources most of its manpower from its city, Boston, (which also would serve as the capital) generating with it 337 manpower daily.
Population & Cities[]
Population[]
The total population of the Confederation of Northern States comprises of 38,722,558. Its highest population density would be concentrated around the surrounding space of Boston containing around 5,701,815 residencies while the surrounding space where Toronto would be at 5,245,640 residencies.
Cities[]
With out of all its 142 cities in its land, only six have a population of more than a million. The majority of the cities do not reach more than 500k population.
Resources[]
The resources of the Confederation of Northern States are listed here below:

Strategy[]
Scenario One: 
Saint Pierre and Miquelon, United States, and Canada aren’t players.[]
None of the two powers that can potentially stop you become players in the game, this means that the formable is quite easy. You need to savor your time for enough manpower so you can launch your invasion of the United States first, make 5000 tanks or more based on how you feel and justify conquest on the United States, the reason why you should justify on them first is due to the massive economic boost and manpower boost you get in the long-term. After your war justification ends, declare war on them and form a line with your 5000 tank stack and put auto merge off. And then when they finish splitting up, do auto capture on the United States. If needed, make more tanks and continue auto capturing. After you can forcibly peace, end the war and take the land you need or you can take the whole of the United States. It’s recommended to take the entirety as you gain more money and manpower later. Now the rest should be a breeze, you should use infantry or tanks to take over Canada, it’s better to use infantry though as you will need to winter specialize your troops through training. Make around 750,000 infantry or more and some artillery to attack the Canadian home guard, easily you should win due to the numbers advantage and bombardment. After this form line with your infantry and put auto merge off, and put auto capture on. Use more infantry if you can’t force peace if your infantry is weak. After that, Canada should have fallen or you should be able to force peace them. After this, easily take over the microstate Saint Pierre and Miquelon, you’d only need at max 80,000 infantry to conquer it.
Congrats, you now are able to form the 
Confederation of Northern States!
Scenario Two: Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Canada or/and the United States is/becomes a player.[]
This can be a alright scenario or a absolutely horrible one.. At worst, you can attempt to form an alliance with either of the nations. Canada is more powerful than you and the United States even though it’s collapsed is still leagues above you. But, you do atleast have some hope to defeat one of these nations.
Defeating Canada as a player:[]
Even though this will be incredibly difficult, this can actually be done. Fortify all of your square cities as it consists of most of your population and with the money you gain from you selling the resources from civilian factories and electronic factories aswell as utilizing the manpower you have already waited for to gain. At the point in the game you should be in (somewhere around January-June 2020) you should have enough manpower by now to make around 2000-3000 tanks which won’t cost to much, also some artillery to bombard enemy troops. Make sure to trade for oil aswell, which means you can also use your advantage of coast to build a navy, (a bare minimum of 3 destroyers, 2 submarines, maybe throw in a battleship or more if you can.). Winter specialize your tanks, and now you are ready to invade Canada. With these units, you should be able to defeat the nation as you can abuse your coastal cities to make a semi-strong navy and also using artillery, aswell as the heavy power of early-game tanks. Since the United States isn’t a player, after taking over Canada, do the same steps we have stated before to take over that nation. Conquer Saint Pierre and Miquelon like how we have stated to before.
That wasn’t too bad, congratulations! You’ve formed the Confederation of Northern States!
If the United States is a player:[]
At best, all you can do here is take over Canada like we have told you how to and/or attempt an alliance with the United States. Let’s be honest here, you have a 0.1% chance of defeating the nation in a offensive war as it is the strongest out of all of its neighbors very much so including you. If the United States doesn’t accept your alliance, it’s best to take this as a cue for war. Fortify all cities at your coast and the ones at the border with the United States, also fortify your capital. Utilize all military units, artillery, tanks, and a navy, which gives you an actual advantage due to the potential enemy not having any other factories and them having to build some as when you used to be the United States, you only built factories where New England resides in which you are playing as currently. Due to your fortifications, troops, tanks, navy, and artillery, you should be fine. With your truce, you can colonize other continents such as Africa 
to gain power over time. Later on, you should be strong enough from those colonies to fight the United States again and likely win instead of a tie. And finally, invade Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
While being much harder, atleast you formed the Confederation of Northern States at the end right?
If Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a player[]
This nation generally has a small chance of being a player, if you make a navy you’ll most likely be fine. It is also advised to make aircraft factories to make an aircraft carrier incase of them making fortifications that heavily defend their troops. Make tanks to invade the nation aswell and you’ll be good with the rest of your run as the other nations aren’t a player.
If the trio, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, United States and Canada are players.[]
This is a absolute worst-case scenario, you are surrounded, and the only thing you can do is ally your much larger and more powerful neighbours, but you can atleast easily invade the Saint Pierre and Miquelon (it doesn’t matter if they’re AI or player as either way as regardless the island will fall.) and attempt to colonize other countries overtime, and before the two powers leave, ask them to disband their military units so you can form later. With your friendly relations with them, they probably would be fine with it, and when they leave unally them and wait to take them over. If both of them (mainly the United States) don’t ally you, you’re basically screwed, which is sadly more likely.
If this happens, you probably won’t form due to the combination of the two powerful nations to deal with.
Trivia[]
- The Confederation of Northern States is based off the Northern Conspiracy, which occured during the early 1800s. It is based off of this thread and the links provided within it: Basis of the Northern Confederacy
- If this was real, more than 50% of all Canadians would live in the releasable, but it’d still get most of it’s population from the United States.
- In real life, it’d have a population of probably over 50 million and have over $1 trillion[1] in GDP.
