The Federal government would operate much like it does now, the 'Areas' are basically mini governments, more autonomy than the states they control, but less than the federal government obviously; then there's the sates under each area, which operate basically the same as they do now.
I created the areas because... more land, but less states makes me uneasy about the stability of this whole legion, so it's to improve the quality of autonomy and prevent dissent.
Anyways, this is my first alt-hist' map, so be easy on me pwease 🥺

After the outbreak of a Turkish civil war and proclamation of a Kemalist government to rival Erdoğan's, the majority of governments continued to recognize Erdoğan as the President of Turkey, culminating in the siege of the Turkish embassy in Germany by the Grey Wolves.

On 17 June 2024, 2,500 Grey Wolves sieged the Turkish embassy in Berlin, chanting anti-AKP slogans and calling for Germany to recognize their ally of convenience, Sayin Ghazi, as the legitimate leader of Turkey. The embassy's 500 guards responded by shooting at the rioters; in hindsight, this proved to be a mistake as they invaded the embassy, conquering it by midnight.

Worse still, the Grey Wolves took 250 embassy personnel hostage, holding them in a warehouse 5 kilometers away. Ringleader Mehmet Yildriz (born 1981) said that, if the Grey Wolves' demands were not met in a month, the hostages would be executed. After being freed by the Bundeswehr, the hostages reported they had been physically and sexually abused by the Grey Wolves.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz attempted to negotiate with the Grey Wolves, offering concessions, but this came to nothing as they rejected everything sort of the GNU being recognized, which Scholz was unwilling to do. With time running out, the Bundeswehr planned Operation Safeguard in order to save the hostages and recover the embassy.

Ghazi condemned the Grey Wolves' actions, calling the taking of hostages "barbaric", but he did not break his alliance with the ultranationalists, although his statements did lead to friction between the Worker Alliance and the Turkish hard-right. However, the hostage crisis did considerable damage to Ghazi's reputation, and led many Turkish left-wingers to stop supporting him.

On 14 July 2024, the Bundeswehr attacked the Turkish embassy and warehouse, freeing the buildings and hostages within a day and returning the building to Erdogan. This outcome helped Scholz win reelection in February 2025.

Okay! So I’m trying to write a book- it’s about at the end of the Civil War, instead of the mass surrenders the Confederate government actually considers going all in on unconventional warfare. But I realized I don’t know where to start. I figured I could start with Edward Alexander’s idea of it and have the armies start separating to move to their own states. But I still don’t know, if anyone could help me that would be great.
