The Confederate Democracy of Gamers also shortened to as CDG is a semi-recognized autonomous republic. The nation was founded and declared its independence from the Arstotzkan Union on 9 November 2020. The nation is an federal union of two states and although it is one of the more smaller nations, its age and influence still make it a major power in the Tauranga Micronational Area. The two states of the Confederate Democracy of Gamers make up only 0.04km2 of land, which makes it one of the smallest in New Zealand.
Founded on 9 November 2020, the Confederate Democracy of Gamers has a rich and unique history. Since its establishment the nation has had to contend with other micronations vying for power in New Zealand. The most notable of which is the Arstotzkan Union, which saw the small nation as a minor threat and opted to treat it as such, which lay the foundation for conflict and war in the many years.
Politically the Confederate Democracy of Gamers operates in a federal system with a overarching federal government at the centre of political authority. However the federal government is subject to supreme power from the President.
Outside of its borders, the Confederate Democracy of Gamers is also a member of the Allied Micronational Treaty Organization, United Micronations Treaty Alliance, a sponsor of the Philosostan Convention and was a member of the Trans-Tauranga Micronational Partnership Agreement.

History
The Confederate Democracy of Gamers was originally announced to be a counter to the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union, which held authority over the micronation scene in Tauranga. When First President Ethan Brinkman (IFRAU) found out about the nation, the Arstotzkan Union Defense Forces were ordered to be on standby for an invasion. The nation was seen by the Arstotzkan Union as a rebellion against the Arstotzkan Union and thus policy indicated that it must be destroyed. However when it was discovered that it was a foreign nation, the policy was reversed and AUSIS spies were sent in to conduct recon and allow for the First President to draft a Alliance.
