List of U.C.S. states
The Union of Christian States is a federal republic consisting of 14 states. States are the primary subdivisions of the Christian States, and possess a number of powers and rights under the Christian States Constitution, such as regulating intrastate commerce, running elections, creating local governments, and ratifying Constitutional amendments. Under the Constitution, the states can exercise all powers that are not delegated to the federal government. Each state has its own government, consisting of an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch. They are all represented in the federal Congress; a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented by two Senators, while Representatives are awarded to each state in proportion to their total population. Congress can admit more states into the Christian States, but it cannot create a new state from territory of an existing state or merge two or more states into one without the consent of all states involved.
Out of the 14 states, Texas is the most populous, with an estimated 28,041,430 residents as of 2012; New Mexico is the least populous, with an estimated 2,085,287 residents. The largest state by area is Texas, while the smallest is South Carolina. The first state to ratify the current Constitution was Louisiana, while the last was Arkansas.
