====Tensions within the South====
====Tensions within the South====


Despite the peace established by the Memphis Accords and the Florida Quebec Non-Aggression Pact, relations between Florida and the Quebecois mega-nation grew strained as Quebec pursued an aggressive strategy of expansion across the continent. Rather than confrontation, Quebec began working to extend its influence into the southern United States by funding Alabama, hoping to draw it into its sphere and grow its mega-nation's footprint within the region. Note that this is not the first nation they are funding within their mega-nation.

Instead of talking, Florida was met with insults and threats from Quebecois leadership, specifically AvocadoApache, who then also disbanded the NAP between the nations.
Recognizing the threat this posed to Florida's regional standing, Florida moved to counter the play directly. Bypassing Quebec entirely, Florida opened its own diplomatic channel with Alabama, working to build a relationship independent of Quebec's influence. The effort succeeded, leading to Florida and Alabama forming their own alliance.

The tension with Quebec proved to be a turning point for Florida's foreign policy.
