Republic of New Texas

The Republic of New Texas was a political entity consisting of six states that seceded from the United States of America in the mid-21st century. (: "Heritage")

For decades, while the United States as a whole fared well compared to many other Earth nations, there were many states who felt that the country was heading in the wrong direction. During the 2056 election year, two consortia of states voted to secede from the union regardless of which presidential candidate won.

On 20 January 2057, the states of Louisiana, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona seceded from the United States to form the Republic of New Texas. Austin, Texas, was declared the new capital.

Another group of states seceded to form the Atlantic Free States.

By 2100, all six of the states had rejoined the United States.
