Altamaha, officially the People's Republic of Altamaha, is a country in North America. It is bordered by Floride to the South, the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the United States to the west and north. It is one of Mainland North America's only Communist States, alongside its neighbor and ally Floride. It lies within territory formerly belonging to tbe U.S. State of Georgia, namely Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Wayne, Appling, Tattnall, Evans, Bulloch, Candler, Toombs, Montgomery, Wheeler, Telfair, Jeff Davis, Treutlen, Laurens, Johnson, Dodge, Bleckley, Pulaski, Wilcox, Crisp, Dooly, Macon, Ben Hill, Irwin, Berrien, Atkinson, Coffee, Emanuel, Twiggs, Houston, Wilkinson, Washington, Peach, Crawford, Bibb, Jones, Monroe, Baldwin, Hancock, Monroe, Putnam, Jasper, Butts, Greene, Morgan, Newton, Henry, Rockdale, Walton, Oconee and Clark counties in that state. The capital and largest city is Altamaha City, with other major cities being Ocute, Ocmulgee, Oconee, and Alapaha.

PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF ALTAMAHA

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES: ENGLISH, ALTAMAHAN CREOLE, MUSCOGEE, MIKASUKI-HITCHITI

RECOGNIZED LANGUAGES:SPANISH, FRENCH

CAPITAL:ALTAMAHA CITY

The main ethnic group in Altamaha is the Altamahans, also known as the Ocute, a mixed-race, Afro-Indigenous, mainly rural group descended from a combination of the indigenous Ocute people, African slaves and Maroons, and rural English settlers. They originated during the period following the collapse of the original Kingdom of the Ocute, in which the minority of its former subjects that were not absorbed into the rising Muscogee Confederacy in the wake of the encroachment of European Empires mantained a grouping of settlements along their homeland of the Oconee river basin and specially in the town of Altamaha, where they blended extensively with African maroons escaping the control of the English colony of Carolina in the 17th century as well as a few odd Englishmen from the colony of Georgia who traded with them in order to keep them from allying with the Spanish to the south. Inspired by and with the support of neighboring Floride, Altamahans launched an independence movement and guerilla war in the 1960s, which won them their independence in the year 1964. They have since become a crucial socialist power in the English-speaking Americas.

HISTORY

Altamaha has been inhabited for at least 13,250 Years. During this period, a dramatic period of extreme climate change washed over the earth as the Ice Age had come to an end. Sea levels rose by over 200 feet and the Atlantic Ocean swallowed over 100 miles of land in Eastern North America, pushing the shoreline westward. At this time, Paleo-Indian Hunter-Gatherer societies arose in Altamaha.

At around 800 AD, Agricultural civilizations known for grandiose architecture arose in Altamaha. They belonged to a network known as the Mississippian Culture, and they were known as "Moundbuilders" for their building of large mounds and pyramids in their towns. The most important in Altamaha's history was the Ocute, whose capital city of Altahama gives the country its name. They spoke the Muskogean languages - Mikasuki-Hitchiti and Muscogee, and practiced a unique religion that focused on universal balance, the worship of celestial bodies and the avoidance of taboos. It was headed by a hereditary leader called a Mico. They formed an alliance with the coastal Guale people against the large coastal chiefdom known as Cofitachequi.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, European powers such as Spain and England came into conflict with the Ocute. Hernando De Soto's brutal expedition across North America was the Ocute's first exposure to Europeans. Later, the English-sponsored Westo launched slave raids into Ocute territory. This, combined with the spread of European-introduced diseases into Ocute territory, meant the end of the Kingdom as a political entity. Most former Ocute were absorbed into the rising Muscogee Confederacy.

A few, however, stayed, and intermixed heavily with fleeing Slaves, or Maroons, from the English colony of Carolina. They also intermixed with a few English traders from Carolina and later Georgia who saught to keep them from allying with the Spanish. This combination of demographics created the genesis of the Altamahans, who mantained the old Ocute towns.

On June 9, 1732, English Army Officer and member of Parliament James Oglethorpe secured a charter for a proprietary colony, the Province of Georgia, between the Altamaha and Savannah rivers, intended to resettle selected "worthy poor" and debtors and provide a bulwark against Spanish Florida. Initially, Slavery was banned in the colony. It was envisioned as an agrarian society of yeoman farmers who grew food crops. However, in 1749, as the market for Cash Crops such as Cotton and Tobacco expanded and new machinery made plantation agriculture more lucrative, the ban on slavery was overturned. The Altamahans, much like the Seminoles in neighboring Florida, took in many escaped slaves from the Carolinas. They were heavily persecute for this by their British rulers. However, those that pledged alleigance to the British could expect to be treated less harshly than other Altamahans.

At this time, the Altamahan culture began to materialize. A combination of indigenous Ocute, African and English culture began to define the group. In 1776, American colonies began to revolt against Great Britain. They declared their independence as the United States. This included the Province, now State, of Georgia. The British, having previously used them against the Spanish, enlisted the help of the Altamahans against the Patriots. Those who were enslaved were promised their freedom in exchange for service in Loyalist armies. Many Altamahans served in these armies. Some of the veterans were later relocated to Canada. However, most stayed in Georgia, even after the defeat of the Loyalists.

Under the new regime, many Altamahans were placed back into Slavery and the U.S. Government began antagonizing them. the British often supplied Altamahans with weapons for resistance against the Americans. Altamahans fought on the British side in the War of 1812, the Red Stick side in the Creek War, and many fought on the Seminole side in the Seminole wars.

During the American Civil War, Georgia fell within the pro-Slavery Confederate States of America. During this conflict, the Altamahans staunchly aligned with the Union. They conducted Guerrilla warfare against the Confederates from behind their lines, and many of them joined the United States Colored Troops. Upon Union victory, Slavery was abolished in Georgia. This was a massive cause for celebration among Altamahans.

During Reconstruction, many Altamahans were involved in the Radical Republican political faction. During the late 19th and early 20th century, the white supremacist Redeemer Democrats regained control of the Georgia state government. Altamahans were disenfranchised and their political power was driven underground.

In the late 19th Century, many Altamahans were involved in new religious movements such as the Bible Student movement. They were motivated by a desire to transcend the white-dominated Episcopalianism that had previously dominated their spiritual lives. They were symbols of resistance against the Georgian government. When the Associated Bible Students and Independent Bible Students split from the Jehovah's Witnesses cult, the Altamahan organizations staunchly sided with the Associated and Independent Bible Students.

Some Altamahans fought in the Spanish-American War and World War I. After the Russian Revolution, many Altamahans were attracted to Bolshevik ideology. They were particularly attracted to its anti-Imperialist undertones and its support for the peasantry's struggles against landlords. During World War II, many Altamahans fought against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan.

In 1946, the National Liberation Front of Altamaha was founded. It gained support through mutual aid programs and became an extremely popular representative organization of the Altamahan people. It launched a guerrilla war against the United States. It was inspired by the liberation war of the River of May Liberation Front in neighboring Floride. In 1964, the NLFA renamed itself to the Communist Party of Altamaha and the People's Republic of Altamaha was founded. Altamaha City became the capital. The Muscogee and New Afrikan minorities were given autonomy, and the cities of Oconee, Ocmulgee and Alapaha also grew.

CULTURE

MUSIC

The Music of Altamaha is a combination of African, European and Native music. It has been compared to American Folk, Blues and Country music, to which it is related. Jazz is also popular in Altamaha, especially the cities, where a special form evolved from the native forms of Country Blues. String and Percussion are frequently used, with some accompaniments of Pan Flutes and in city forms Brass instruments are often use. In the coastal areas, forms of Music related to Caribbean folk music are common.

CUISINE

The Cuisine of Altamaha is frequently compared to a combination of Southern U.S. Cuisine and Caribbean Cuisine. Various dishes including Smoked, Barbecued or Fried Beef, Pork and Chicken, Roast Corn, Okra, and various kinds of Fish, all seasoned with Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic Powder, etc. Rice, Squash and Corn are also extremely common in all manner of dishes in Altamaha.

CLOTHING

The basis of Clothing in Altamaha varies depending on whether one is in the City or the Country. In the cities and towns, the traditional "Sundays' Best," derived from the dress of the Black Church, a main cultural center since the area of Slavery, forms the basis of formal clothing. In the Countryside, traditional "Cracker Clothing" or rural farmers' dress is more common. These include Straw Hats, Jeans, Leather Boots and Jackets, and plain shirts. These are both comparable to the dress of the Black Belt of the Southeastern United States.

POLITICS:

The ruling party in Altamaha is the Communist Party of Altamaha. It is a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Party, following the Chinese line before Deng Xiaoping. In order to appeal to the Rural population, it sometimes combines its communist messaging with Evangelical or Bible Student Christian forms of Liberation Theology. It also very often appeals to the history of national resistance against the American colonial regime. Junior partners in the constitutionally-guaranteed government of the Communist Party of Altamaha include the peasant-focused Farmers' Party, the Black Interests-focused Altamahan Black Panther Party, the Muscogee Self-Government Party, and the anti-corruption Altamahan Democratic League.

SPORTS: The most popular sport in Altamaha is Gridiron Football, followed closely by Baseball. Altamaha frequently competes in international competition. Altamahan and Floridien Gridiron Football teams together form the Southeastern North America Football League. The national team of Altamaha are the Altamaha Coyotes.

RELIGION:

Christianity is the largest religion in Altamaha. The two equally-large and most prevalent, largest denominations in Altamaha are the Altamahan Episcopal Church and the Altamahan Union of Bible Student Associations, respectively representing Low-Church, Reformed Episcopal Anglicanism and the Bible Student Movement, specifically the Associated Bible Students and Independent Bible Students that oppose the Jehovah's Witnesses cult. Both of them are intertwined with a form of Liberation Theology that is sponsored by the Communist Party of Altamaha and is staunchly anti-imperialist. Other religions that are recognized include Islam, especially Black American forms of Hanafi Sunni Islam pioneered by the American Society of Muslims, Judaism, Hinduism and Catholicism. Society is somewhat socially conservative. However, LGBT+ and Women's rights are legally compliant with international standards. Most Altamahans are passibely tolerant of LGBT+ people and respectful of Women, though they tend to be disrespectful of activism and open discussions surrounding those topics. Smoking and Alcoholism are issues among Altamahans, which the government is taking steps to combat.

It is also one of the only French-Speaking Sovereign States in North America, alongside Haiti. Its borders span 10 Regions, all formerly counties of the states of Florida and Georgia in the United States - Putnam, St. John's, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and Flagler counties in Florida and Camden, Charlton, Brantley and Glynn counties in Georgia.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: French RECOGNIZED NATIONAL LANGUAGES:Muscogee, Spanish, English

ETHNICITY: 80% Floridien 8% Floridano 2.5% Seminole 5% Freeman 2% Floridian

RELIGION: 70% Reformed Church of Floride 10% Roman Catholic 15% Irreligion 2.5% Jewish 2.5% Other (Incl. Muslim, Hindu, etc.)

HISTORY Kingdom of Saturiwa - 1100 AD Landing of Ribault - 1562 Rule by Spanish, Brits and Americans - 1565-1960 Revolution and Independence - 1960

The primary ethnic group in Floride is the Floridiens. They are a French-Speaking, predominantly Reformed Calvinist Christian group descended from a combination of French Huguenot Settlers, indigenous Saturiwa people, and African slaves. Other ethnic groups in Floride include the indigenous and maroon Seminole people, Spanish-Speaking Floridanos, English-Speaking Floridians, and Black Americans.

Floride, and the broader region of Florida has been inhabited at least 14 thousand years. At that time, hunter-gatherer groups known as the Paleo-Indians entered Florida. These groups evolved into a variety of cultures, often reliant on fishing, hunting, and gathering. They were known for their creation of large shell middens from the refuse of their shellfish harvests, which they used both as designated waste areas and to support their homes during rising tides. They were also used as ceremonial sites. These cultures inhabiting the coast and inland of the northern Florida Peninsula were organized into Kingdoms and spoke dialects of the same language. The French and Spanish called them the "Timucua," because one kingdom - the Saturiwa - named a rival kingdom, the Northern Utina, the Timucua, which has been variously translated as "Enemy," "Rival" or perhaps "Chiefs" likely referring to their rulers. In 1562, a group of French Reformed Calvinist Protestant Refugees, called Huguenots, arrived in Floride alongside African slaves. They formed an alliance with the Saturiwa. The Huguenots, Saturiwa and Slaves (some of whom were afforded the opportunity to purchase their freedom and become Free People of Color) intermarried during this period. This mixing would later give rise fo the group that would later become the Floridiens. They established a capital settlement in Fort Caroline. In 1565, the devoutly Catholic Spanish attacked Fort Caroline and destroyed the settlement. They massacred many of the Huguenot, African and Saturiwa inhabitants thereof and renamed the settlement from "Fort Caroline" to "Fort San Mateo'". They renamed the major river, which the Huguenots called the River of May, the Rio de San Juan, or St. John's River. The site of the massacre has become known as Matanzas, literally meaning Massacre in Spanish. Later, in 1568 as revenge, Dominique de Gourgues, a French Nobleman who, though Catholic, had highly French Nationalistic sentiments and a hatred for the Spanish that extended to desire for revenge for the Protestants killed at Matanzas, alongside the Saturiwa who despised the Spanish, attacked Fort San Mateo and massacred its Spanish inhabitants. Meanwhile, the surviving Floridiens, who lived largely in the frontier regions with English assistance, had undergone the creation of a new culture born from the experiences of Spanish persecution, alongside a mix of French Huguenot, Indigenous Saturiwa and African cultures. They began to become more devout, using their distinct Reformed Protestant faith as a symbol of resistance against the Spanish. They largely worked as Loggers, exporting Timber to their English allies in exchange for protection from the army of their neighboring Carolina colony. France, whose attention had turned to the fur trade in Canada, Louisiana and the Ohio River Valley, and whose rulers and atmosphere were becoming increasingly anti-Protestant, as shown in the horrific Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre, largely abandoned the Floridiens, leading them to ally with the Protestant rivals of France, being England and later the newly independent Netherlands. They established towns in the northeast, most notably among them the town of Fort Caroline, named for the old settlement, Charlesfort, named for another settlement in what is now South Carolina, Amilacany and Casty, named for Saturiwa Villages, and Maieville, named for the River of May, which the Spanish called the St. John's River. Soon, after a war betwen Britain and both France and Spain, Florida was passed from Spanish control to British control. the Floridiens, or at least their upper castes, enjoyed increased liberties in this era. lighter-skinner Floridiens were often grouped in the same demographic as English-Speaking Protestants, though darker-skinned Floridiens with more Native and African ancestry still suffered discrimination from the harsh facial hierarchy of British America. Later, after the United States gained its independence from Great Britain with the help of Spain, Florida was passed back to the Spanish Crown. however, Spanish de facto control was limited to St. Augustine and Pensacola. Most areas were controlled by the native Seminoles, who had some land disputes with Floridiens but generally treated them well. Floridien towns in the northeast had more autonomy from centralized government and a unified Floridien identity began to strengthen. Later, the United States purchased Florida from Spain in the aftermath of the first Seminole war, launched by the US as a reaction to slaves escaping south to join the Seminoles. Some Floridiens fought alongside the Seminoles, while others welcomed the US as a Protestant patron that would grant them equal rights. However, the US, upon gaining control of Floride, treated Floridiens harshly due to both their connection to the British and Seminole and their mixed-race ancestry. They were seen as possibly subversive. They faced discrimination from English-speaking White Floridians, similarly to Creoles in Louisiana. They were, however, given citizenship. As Florida became a Slave State, the relationship between Floridiens and Slavery became more complex. many upper-caste Floridiens owned slaves and benefited economically from the institution, but many lower-caste Floridiens had African Ancestry and feared brutal Subjugation in a slave society. Alongside this, Abolitionism and Calvinism became closely associated in the Northern States. as Calvinism was cloaely connected to Floridien heritage, an undercurrent of abolitionism began to entrench itself in Floride. this added to discrimination against Floridiens by the Planter Class. The tensions between free states and slave states erupted in 1861 with the beginning of the American Civil War. During the course of the war, Floridiens fought for both the Union and the Confederacy. Floridiens who fought for the confederacy were usually light-skinned, upper-class men who believed both that it was in the best interest for Floride to be a slave society and that the Confederacy would provide autonomy for the Floridiens. However, many more lower-class Floridiens fought for the Union. They were motivated by their fear of oppression under a rigid racial caste system and by their religious beliefs. Floridiens were especially prevalent in the Union Navy, and they participated in the retaking of Jacksonville from the Rebels. After the war, Floridiens experienced a cultural resurgence, as they explored what it meant to be Floridien in the aftermath of the death of the Old South and Slavery. They developed an identity that centered around their religious devotion to moral causes. Floridiens were involved in many movements, including Temperance, Women's Suffrage, Vegetarianism, Labor, Eugenics, and Indian Assimilation. They mainly voted for the progressive Republican Party and aligned themselves with Theodore Roosevelt. For this reason, they were often targeted by Democratic White Southerners, who saw them as "Scalawags" who betrayed the south. The Ku Klux Klan targeted them, though it should be noted that there were a notable few Floridien members of that organization, mainly migrants in the North, who were mainly motivated by the Anti-Catholicism of the organization. Floridiens were also widely known for their involvement in trade unions and the labor movement, particularly in Lumber, Tenant Farming, and Textiles. They led numerous strikes in the Floride region. Lower-Caste Floridiens qere known for their willingness to accept Black Members into their unions, in contrast to and to the dismay of White Southern populist trade unions. Many Floridiens fought in the Spanish-American War and World War I, respectively motivated largely by a long-standing Anti-Spanish Sentiment and percieved obligation to assist France due to their heritage. After the war, Bolshevism became a Current in the labor movement. inspired by the Russian Revolution, many Floridiens became involved in the burgeoning Communist movement. They viewed it as the solution to a long-lived system of labor oppression and subjugation. As the Red Scare set into motion, this further polarized the surrounding people in Florida. during WWII, many Floridiens volunteered once again to fight against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. As the cold war set into motion, Floridiens were polarized. While some were loyal to tbe Western Bloc and viewed the labor struggle as solely a "bread-and-butter" issue of Wages and Conditions, others believed that the time was ripe for Floride to gain its independence. they believed that a Communist revolution would be the best way to achieve their independence and the fulfillment of centuries of agitation against Spain and the US. in Fort-Caroline, the River of May Liberation Front (FLRM) was founded in 1953. It gained popularity as it engaged in mutual aid programs that assisted the impoverished Floridien communities of Floride, and it collaborated frequently with civil rights organizations. It later launched a guerilla war in Floride, utilizing Soviet, Cuban and Chinese supplies. The FLRM sided with China during the Sino-Soviet Split. the FLRM's ideology was a mix of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, a Reformed Calvinist Protestant version of Liberation Theology, and anti-imperialist sentiment. As groups like the Black Panthers and Yojng Lords emerged, the FLRM allied with them,.becoming a part of Fred Hampton's maoist "Rainbow Coalition." due to high popular support and foreign assistance, the FLRM managed to establish and hold liberated zones for long enough to establish a state. on May 1, 1960, both the anniversary of Jean Ribault's landing and International Worker's Day, the People's Republic of Floride was declared. Simultaneously, the FLRM changed its name to the Communist Party of Floride. later, a peace agreement was reached with the United States that declared that a referendum in Floride would determine its independence or autonomy. The majority of the population voted for independence, and the People's Republic of Floride ended its war with the United States, though mantaining tensions. Since then, Floride, under the continuous rule of the Communist Party of Floride, has modernized rapidly, expanding its international relations. The town of Fort-Caroline was merged with the city of Jacksonville to form the new capital of Fort-Caroline. the majority-Floridano city of San Agustin was given autonomy. The cities of Casty, Alimacany, Charlesfort and Maieville also rapidly expanded.

CULTURE: The culture of Floride is a vibrant mix of French Huguenot, Indigenous Saturiwa and African cultures. It developed over centuries through French, Spanish, British, and American rule and through Independence.

LANGUAGE: The primary and officjal language of Floride is French, specifically Floridien French. This dialect is known for its linguistic conservatism, with many aspects preserved from Middle French. For example, "Française" is often pronounced and spelled "Françoise", particularly in colloquial contexts. This gives an impression from non-Floridien French speakers of archaism or excessive formality. Floridien French also contains many loanwords from African languages and Timucua, for example "Gombo" is a term for Okra derived from the Kikongo language, and "Tico" is a term for a Canoe derived from the Timucua Language. In the city of San Agustin, which is predominantly Catholic and Spanish-Speaking, a similarly archaic form of Spanish is spoken. In deep southern and rural areas, Muscogee is spoken among some Seminoles. English Creole is also spoken in some coastal regions by certain Freedmen groups, as is standard American English by "Florida Crackers" leftover from British and American rule.

CUISINE: Floridien Cuisine combines influences from a variety of culture. It has been compared to Louisiana Creole Cuisine to which it shared many similarities. Seafood is the cornerstone of Floridien cooking. Oysters, Shrimp, Fish, Crawfish, and even Alligator are common in Floridien food. They are often served together with Rice, Beans, Corn, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, celery and other staple cereals and vegetables. Garlic and butter are also commonly used. Roux made from fat and flour is a common base for soups and other dishes. Beans and Rice are a common dish, as it is easy to make, quick and cheap. Various Seasonings, spices and herbs are very often used in these dishes, including Paprika, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper, File Powder, Black and White Pepper, thyme, oregano, basil and parsley. Barbecue is also a cornerstone of Floridien Cuisine, especially of Pork and to a lesser extent Beef. It is frequently seasoned with similar seasonings to seafood dishes and served with roasted corn and fried okra as a side.

MUSIC: Floridien music, like other aspects of its culture is rooted in its ethnic diversity. It is comparable to and related to Louisiana Creole and Cajun music. It is rooted in French country string band music, dances and folk songs, mixed with African blues polyrhythms, beats, oral literature and work songs, and Native American Call-and-Reponse vocals, drumbeats and percussion. It also has influence from the Spanish Guitarra folk music tradition, and african-american blues and jazz.

CLOTHING: Floridiens traditionally wear plain, country dress. It largely originates from southern france, the heartland of the Huguenots. Floridien male dress includes Pantaloons, a buttoned Jacket, a patterned or plain Shirt, a ribbon tie, and a flat-topped, wide-brimmed "Chapeau" hat made from straw or leather. Floridien female dress includes a plain, long, modest dress, sometimes patterned, that covers the entire body except for the hands, feed and head. some, especially rural, wear a headscarf, and it is not uncommon for Women to also wear Chapeau.

SPORTS: The most popular sport in Floride is American Football, or Gridiron Football. The national team is the Fort Caroline Alligators, with other teams in the Floridien Football League including the Casty Red Stars, the Alimacany Rivermen, the San Agustin Spaniards and the Charlesfort Ranchers. It has been the most popular sport in the country since the 1950s, under American influence. It was sometimes used by FLRM soldiers for training due to its emphasis on physical strength and endurance. It was also used as a more regional alternative to Baseball, which was associated with American unionism. despite that, Baseball is also popular in Floride, particularly among Floridanos in San Agustin. Association Football is popular among Haitian migrants.

POLITICS: The ruling party of the People's Republic of Floride is the Communist Party of Floride, which has ruled Floride since its independence in 1960. It is the successor to the River of May Liberation Front of the 1950s War of Independence. It is a staunchly Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Party. It combines its ideology with elements of a Reformed Calvinist Protestant Christian variant of Liberation Theology, appealing to the largely rural and religious population. Other political parties that have joined as junior partners in the constitutionally-guaranteed government of the Communist Party include the Reformed Political Party (focused on Reformed interests,) the Floridien Democratic Party (focused on the elimination of corruption and the ensurance of government addressing popular issues) the Floridano Self Government League (focused on Catholic Floridano rights) and the Floridien Black Panther Party (focused on Black and Seminole interests.) the government operates according to the Mass Line, in which popular complaints are the primary informants of policy decisions. Elections take place largely within the parties themselves, in which candidates are selected. They are then posted on ballots for approval or disapproval by voters. If they are disapproved, new elections for the parties take place.

RELIGION: Floridien culture is deeply rooted in Reformed Calvinist Protestant Christianity. It has been the predominant religion for centuries. It has been a symbol of resistance against the Spanish and later American colonial rule. Society, due to this, leans socially conservative. Homosexuality is Legal, but is generally seen as something to keep private and is often even discouraged by religious figures. Similarly, Transgender people who do not "pass" are often stigmatized. despite this, LGBT Rights are considered to be moderately successful by Latin American standards. They enjoy discrimination, labor and healthcare protections and are generally accepted as neighbors by society. Catholics make up a majority in the historically Spanish city of San Agustin, and they enjoy equal rights to Protestants, though they are often discriminated against when outside the autonomous region itself. Historic populations of Jews (both Sephardic and Ashkenazi,) Muslims (mainly of African descent) and Hindus (largely immigrant laborers) exist in the country and enjoy equal rights. Public Drunkenness is illegal, though moderate alcohol consumption is culturally accepted and in some cases even encouraged. Smoking is a major problem among Floridiens, especially older generations. The government has taken steps to educate the public on the dangers of smoking and have established legal non-smoking areas

The four colors, seen here on the Miccosukee flag, are the main colors of anti-colonialism in America. They are used on the colors of the American Indian Movement flag, the Rainbow Coalition flag and many other revolutionary movements. They are a good alternative to the stars and stripes for anyone wanting to make an American flag.

I know I already made a flag like this, but i figured I'd try another design

The White, Black, Red and Yellow are the colors on the Miccosukee and Seminole flags, which represent the four directions in Seminole culture. They may also represent 4 cultural groups, that being Florida Crackers, New Afrikans, the Seminoles themselves and Floridanos. Red and Gold are of course staples on Communist flags. The machete represents sugar and other agricultural workers, the spear represents fishermen. Both may also represent defense of the republic. The Star represents the Communist Party.

The red represents the blood shed in the revolution and the proletariat. The gold represents the material wealth of the land. The black represents the hard work of building socialism. The sun represents the dawn of the revolution. The star represents the Communist Party. Rhe colors here are also important in several indigenous cultures as the colors of the four directions. The sun is also important in many indigenous cultures as the giver of life.

By the way, "New Mexico" in this context is an expanded region. It comprises the US States of New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas alongside the Mexican states of Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Baja California. Basically, the northern part of pre-1848 Mexico.

This is the flag for a decolonized, Communist America.

The Red represents the blood shed in the revolution and the working class.

The yellow represents the natural wealth of the land, the beautiful sunset and the brightness of the future.

The green represents the preservation of the environment through Socialism and Indigenous leadership.

The dark blue represents the sea, the sky, and, as it does on the Haitian flag, the New Afrikan population.

The Star represents the Communist Party.

These are also the colors found on the Inca banner and the Bolivarian-derived flags, representing a revolutionary, anti-yankee Pan-Americanism.
