[b]TURN 0: 1990, THE BEGINNING[/b] [b]Turn Music:[/b] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwUGSYDKUxU[/media] MAP: [t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/amuricav2.png[/t] [b]California Republic[/b] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/cali3.png[/img] Leader: Arnold Schwarzenegger Capital: Sacramento Ideology: The California Republic is styled after the Merchant republics of old, but still retains good republican traditions. -The Californian military is widely known and feared for its wide array of air forces it can use in cases of conflict. It has a large population base to draw from, and although most are not very willing to die for a cause they do not believe in, there are still millions to call on and support -The Californian Business Bureau encourages the fishing industry to gain momentum. In Los Angeles, ten new fishing boats sail off to get a great catch. -The first elections of 1990 are held to great success, with the House being mostly liberal dominated and the Senate being mostly conservative, the tie breaker is the conservative president. Some parts of LA and San Fran. Complain while other areas pocketed around the state are thrilled. -The Republic sends its finest diplomats to Carson City to make sure that Nevada firmly falls into Californian influence by signing a peace treaty. The congress of Nevada debates it, but overall it is an overwhelming vote in favor of securing peace with the Californians. -San Francisco 49ers win the Superbowl. [b]Republic of New York[/b] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/ny3.png[/img] Leader: Daniel Woodward Capital: Albany Ideology: Parliamentary Republic, stylized after the Czech Republic/Israel -The military begins developing the RPEC-L Mk. 1. The RPEC-L is a Break-action compact launcher based on the modern M79 grenade launcher, except slightly smaller and more expensive. The rocket is unique to the launcher, driving up production costs and hampering resupply from enemy supply posts. However, it is extremely good at destroying fixed fortifications and heavy battle tanks. -The University of New York begins researching the painful inflammatory disease known as “Colitis”, sending their best students and professors to look for a cure. Dr. Johnston, a professor in medicine proclaims that “A breakthrough will be completed by 1995”. -Taxes on the rich are driven up, while taxes on the poor are dropped. While many New Yorkers living in poorer boroughs and areas around Albany rejoice, many businesses in Manhattan grumble. Goldman Sachs is outraged and moves HQ from 200 W. Street to a much more hospitable business climate in downtown Boston, whilst remaining in proximity to the NY Financial Area. -New York attempts to export supplies and food to various states, unfortunately, many New Yorkers are exceptionally unhappy that this will lead to more dependence on the incredibly volitle Minnesota/Dakota/Iowa regions as New York has relatively poor agriculture. -The turkey, rabbit, and sheep are slowly becoming popular staples of New York Cuisine, attempts to introduce the horse are mostly opposed by people who see the horse as a companion animal. -New York offers Rhode Island, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Hawaii. Only Rhode Island and the Virgin Islands accept, Hawaii citing concerns with California, and Puerto Rico attempting to inch closer to her sphere leader Virginia. -NY no longer recognizes Kosovo and Palestine. The world laughs at their petty attempt. -NY sends a heap of cash and the equivalent of tax vouchers to Columbus. Columbus begins inching away from Richmond and more towards Albany. -Washington and NY hammer out a good alliance treaty, much to the displeasure of Virginia. [b]Alaskan Republic[/b] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/al.png[/img] Leader: Alex Williams Capital City: Anchorage Ideology: Communism/Secular Atheism -The Alaskan population is mobilized from ages 21-54. Much to the displeasure of the Alaskan populace, the government says this measure is only temporary to keep the Californians, Oregonites, and Washingtonians out of Alaska. -Alaskan industries attempt to mobilize to build transport vehicles. The Alaskan industry tries but complains that the already strained industry will collapse if there isn’t any variation. -Alaska begins nationalizing all private industries. Much to the displeasure of Sitka and Juneau, who begin rioting. The military puts it down rather quickly and imposes a media blackout on the region. Anchorage wonders why the peninsula has gone dark. -Alaska proclaims that “An Alaskan United States is a better United States!” They begin a move towards communism that has been unprecedented in the United States. Guerillas appear in Fairbanks and proclaim “Free Alaska”. Military command disrupted. -Alaska sends alliance offers up and down the east coast. With the recent destabilization, few commit. However, New York and South Carolina ink an alliance. [b]State of Washington[/b] [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43321825/washingtonflag.png[/img] Leader: Booth Gardner Capital City: Seattle Ideology: Social Democracy -The Government inks new contacts with Seattle based Boeing and Northrop. They look for the YF-23 to be created and deployed by approximately 197. Boeing takes the government’s money with glee and quickly begins work. -The government puts in a green-energy policy. Much to the dismay of the coal power companies, but new cash rewards means a scramble for new green-technology. The rewards are almost instantaneous as a new nuclear plant is beginning construction near Spokane in Central Washington. -The Government inks a mutual defense treaty with New York. California is uncomfortable with this decision with allying with the east coast super power. -A new amendment is drafted that men and women MUST have equal pay. In this, there is also a universal healthcare clause. With the relatively few amount of conservatives within the government of Washington, they concede and allow the bill to pass. Much rejoicing is had, although some businesses are slightly miffed and consider moving to Montana. [b]Federal Republic of Massachusetts[/b] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/mass.png[/img] Leader: Albert Greene Capital City: Boston Ideology: Federal Republic -The Mass. National Guard begins strengthening its troops throughout the country. Rhode Island takes note and quizzically asks NY what the hell Massachusetts is doing. -The idea of Pan-New Englandism is spread. It takes off well in the areas surrounding area, but Maine seems rather unhappy with the idea and consults Vermont and New Hampshire. -Massachusetts sends diplomats all over the surrounding area. Conneticut and Rhode Island decide that it would be best to build a bigger framework of alliances and join. Vermont is debating the idea, while Maine and New Hampshire decide not to. [b]OTHER EVENTS/IMPORTANT NPC EVENTS[/b] -Virginia moves a National Guard division to the Ohio border. Cincinnati and Columbus at risk of Finlandizing. -Situation in Ohio escalating with pro-Virginia movements protesting in Cincinatti, whilst counter-protests occur in Toledo. Columbus torn. -Virginia signs defensive pact with Carolinas -The 1990 Stanley Cup is held, and the Hartford Whalers win comfortably. -Superbowl XXIV results in a large thumping of the Denver Broncos by the 49ers. -The state of the economy in the United States is rated on a grade from F-AAA, this year, it is rated as AAA. -Virginia announces plans to manage the unification of North and South Carolina. Both states seem cordial to the idea. However, both fear the other’s domination and the plans begin dissolving. -Pope John Paul II promises to visit New England within 5 years.
