Formed: 1865

President: Jefferson Davis

Government: Authoritarian

Summary: Bethel was founded by the Confederacy of States after the US Civil War ended in a truce. International pressure drove the abandonment of the institution of slavery within ten years.

The government laid low for nearly a hundred years. Sensing opportunity due to unrest around the continent, Bethelian leaders seized opportunities for trade, garnering support from like minded leaders around the world.

Christian Nationalism directs Bethel’s daily life, with ‘a return to traditional values’ the focus. Minorities are faced with mass incarceration and indentured work. With a lack of free press or public education, society is manipulated by authoritarian leaders.
