North American Confederacy

The North American Confederacy (NAC) is a fictional government in the alternate history created by L. Neil Smith in the novel The Probability Broach and sequils. It is patterned on the Articles of Confederacy. As of the "start" of The Probability Broach in 1986, the NAC consisted of the entire continent of North America (including the states of the US, the Republic of Texas, and the various independent states of Mexico and Canada) as well as Antartica, the Moon, and the major colonized asteroids.
