Central States of America

About
The Central States of America (CSA), commonly referred to as Centralland or Centralia, is a federal republic consisting of 24 states and 3 provinces, 22 being continuous with a capital federal district. Centralia is a breakaway country, with states formerly loyal to the United States of America, that fought against them during the Second American Civil War.

Being a remainder of the unified United States, the consistency of statehood varies, with some states joining and leaving periodically.



National Anthem
"Dear Centralia" is a song composed by OhioCentral, it is the national anthem of the Central States of America, and the official song of the Central Family.

Country Name
For a long time after the country found its independence, the decision for the name was disputed and often never officially made clear. Multiple names were used to identify the country, which made the creation of logos, seals, etc, challenging to keep consistent. Some examples of names were, Centralland, Centralia, United States of Centralia, United States of Centralland, Republic of Centralland, Republic of Centralia.

Eventually when the official was created, the Central States of America was adopted as the official name, noting who the states belong to (The Centrals), and where the states were located (America).

National Flag
As the nation began to gain traction in size, there was becoming a need for symbols of identification for the new country, one of which included a flag. In September 2020, the first drafts of a new flag were being presented, some met with negative marks.

The national flag is both shared by the Central Family and for official use by the C.S.A. Through a short period of time the flag was heavily revised into a simpler and cleaner design. OhioCentral, the designer, took heavy inspiration from a proposed design for the City of Columbus, Ohio by Paul Nini. It shares its basic colors and design traits. Around the month of September, 2020, the eventual 3rd version of the flag would stand as the official after a divided vote, and slowly evolve into the current flag.
