"Sometimes I wake up in the morning and think to myself, 'Did we really name our government what we did just so we could keep using all the old COG stuff?' Then I realize, yes, we did. Because we're petty."
— General Davis in his personal log.


The Confederation of Ordered Governments, also known as the Confederate COG, Confederation, or Clayvale COG, was a splinter faction of the Coalition of Ordered Governments formed some time after the conclusion of the Locust War when the city-state of Clayvale seceded from the Coalition. Disenfranchised with the Coalition's adoption of fascist and totalitarian practices, the Confederation, although organized as a military oligarchy, instead espoused more democratic and humanist ideals.

The Coalition, however, labeled the Clayvale COG as traitors and regarded them as Outsiders (though the Clayvale COG themselves regarded themselves as a separate faction from the Outsiders and in fact maintains only tenuous relations with them). The Coalition did its best to limit the Clayvale COG's access to food, weapons, and supplies, forcing them to scavenge for much of their resources, and the Coalition maintained openly hostile relations with them.

Following the initial stages of the Clayvale Rebellion, the Confederation expanded to include the city of Martizieu and several Outsider settlements. By 42 A.E. the Confederation of Ordered Governments could be considered a solid middle power in post-Locust War Sera.

With the outbreak of the Swarm Invasion, the Confederation would quickly agree to a truce with the Coalition, pooling their forces in order to more effectively combat the new threat. Despite this, however, mutual feeltings distrust and unease would remain between both sides.

History[]

Military[]

The Confederate Armed Forces was a large military organization tasked with the defense of the Confederation and its allies and interests. Composed of a relatively large standing Army, Air Corps, and Navy, the Confederate military was considered one of the more prominent on post-war Sera. Like the old Coalition before it, the Confederate military was formed of several component groups' armed forces, the largest and most powerful of which was the several thousand strong Clayvale Armed Forces, though every major settlement in the Confederacy has contributed at least some military assets. In addition to its standing military, the Confederacy boasted a massive civilian militia force known as the Confederate Volunteers. In 42 A.E., the Confederate military as a whole nearly tripled in size upon the Martizian Union's admission into the Confederation.
