Doubt if anybody's much interested.
Read the story again, not sure that there is really much info about the CSA to guess what it can do - other than "it's rich"

The US of BTJ, OTOH, is kind of ...well, strange. Devolved, not much better off than a Balkan Republic - I have to guess that, somehow, the Western States must have broken away and become another country. I cannot imagine, even with the reparations, that the US would have THAT much trouble....but an isolated Northeast, the equivalent of a "pariah state" - that I could understand.

So, a bit more info is needed to make any kind of a guess.

Perhaps we need to retcon it? A socialist republic or something?
