Florida

Summary

The Territory of Florida is a self sustaining anarchy state made independent by the Balkanization of The United States, supplied by warlords fighting wars to gain control of the valuable Intercoastal Waterway from South America to North America. With most of the state now underwater and being a massive archipelago bayou, most travel is done by boats, ships, water planes or by slogging it. Florida as of 2059, has a permanent super-hurricane stationed over it, and as such the native wildlife has adapted a more land based predatory lifestyle.

During the Symposium on Secession, the state of Florida requested annexation by Texas, Dixie, Cascadia, and has repeatedly attempted to sell her territory to Triumvirate International for mere pennies on the dollar for nearly 30 years, but was denied each time. Florida has a government structure, but only in theory. In 2063, only 38% of official government positions were filled, in 2087, that number has dropped to 16%. Florida is considered a failed state by many international organizations, and has been a primary target of aid since 2073.
