Kassel Confederation

Kassel

Type of Government:	Libertarian confederacy
Organizations:	Springfield Pact

Kassel is a self-declared ‘libertarian confederacy’ and one of the more radical governments in the Inner Sphere. It is firmly in the Coalition camp, but criticizes National Conservatism as often as it does communism. Its official social policy is ‘moral capitalism,’ which operates on the principle of allowing citizens to do whatever they wish, reasoning that anything particularly offensive would be met by intense public disapproval. It has no formal military, instead opting to hire private military companies to command bands of armed citizens into battle. While it is officially at war because of its Springfield Pact obligations, most of Kassel’s ‘military’ is busy fighting a war against local warlords that are trying to take over. Kassel mercenaries regularly find themselves in the employ of many nations, within and outside of the Springfield Pact. Because of its firmly American roots, it is both ethnically and culturally American.
