State: New York
Adjacent States being claimed: nil
Official/New Name: Commonwealth of New York
Type of Government: Parliamentary democracy
Leader and Title: Prime Minister Ethan James

Nearing the end of the first financial crisis several powerful stakeholders in the state of New York gathered in secret and devised a plan if government action on the economy failed that would secure their assets in the state of New York (especially New York City). In the aftermath of the second financial crisis which saw deeper loss and chaos the men put their plan into action and the state voted unanimously for succession from the United States of America. A new Constitution was presented to the legislature and passed unanimously. The first article of the bill disbanded all established government institutions and then continued to reorganize the entire government structure. The Commonwealth of New York based on the regions of the state (see fig) was formed as a parliamentary democracy. Prime Minister Ethan James was elected three years ago as the first Prime Minister of New York.
