Confederacy of Ireland

The Confederacy of Ireland was a post-Operation Talisman state in Ireland and frequent enemy of Prosperia, founded by Irish warlord and nationalist Erin Quinn in 2058.

Genesis
After the dissolution of the United Kingdom and Irish Republican governments in the aftermath of Operation Talisman, much of Ireland was left in an anarchic state, being ruled by factional warlords. One of the most prominent warlord groups was the Quinn family, ruling over much of Northern Ireland from their territory of the Free State of Derry.

By 2055, Erin Quinn had become the warlord of her respective territory at the age of 19, following the death of her father Gerry. An ambitious woman and an Irish nationalist, she was able to use her pronounced economic, political, and military influence to initiate a meeting between all of Ireland's prominent warlords in Belfast in 2057. At this summit, she proposed a confederacy of the Irish states and create a zone of free trade and travel between them. Partially because of her military influence, partially because of their desire for Irish unity, all but a few Irish leaders agreed to join the new nation known as the Confederacy of Ireland.

Early History
After its founding, the Confederacy initiated a series of military campaigns, known as Operation Aontacht (Unity) against any holdouts against the Confederacy. Many of the holdouts were quickly crushed, and the Confederacy was formally declared in it's new capital, Dublin.

After conquering the entire island of Ireland, newly declared President Quinn was able to consolidate power over the entire island economically and militarily, and even opened up trade with some Welsh tribes across the sea.

Tensions With Prosperia
However, in early 2060, much of the Welsh nomadic groups they had once traded freely with had gone silent, and any ships they tried to send to Britain would never return. This was of great concern to the Irish leadership, and the discovery of the missing ships true cause became a top priority. Eventually the GFH (Intelligence Agency of Ireland) discovered the true cause of the conundrum: a new nation known as Prosperia was in the middle of conducting a military conquest of Great Britain.

Many Irish military personnel had been taken by the Prosperians, and the government, lead by Alan Friction, seemed interested in a military campaign in Ireland.
