West Florida, officially known as the Republic of West Florida is a Federal presidential constitutional republic along the Gulf Coast of the former United States of America. The government is derived from the various military bases in the region forming a defense league between them to preserve some basis of American Government in the South of the USA. The region was effectively ruled by a military council with a puppet president. The government is still highly dependent on the military for general national support as much of the national population was once military or former military population. West Florida is the lone stabilized nation in the deep south with the rest controlled by various terrorist groups in the region now known as "New Afrika".

Etymology
The first documentary evidence of the phrase "West Florida" dates back to the British colonial era in the Royal Proclamation of 1763, with West Florida and East Florida, separated by the Apalachicola River. The term "West Florida" is derived by Spanish translation "Florida Occidental", itself derived from the Spanish conqueror and explorer Juan Ponce de León's name for the region "Florida" meaning "full of flowers".
West Florida derived the name "Republic of West Florida" from the short-lived 1810 revolution in the region against colonial Spanish rulers in an attempt to create a independent democratic republic. In 1994 the Gulf Coast Defense Force reorganized using the old name for the region from the old revolutionary forces.

West Florida is not confirmed to be in the possession of weapons of mass destruction, and has not ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has argued that West Florida is in possession of undeclared chemical warfare capabilities and a biological warfare program.[2] Officially, West Florida neither confirms nor denies possessing nuclear weapons.
