Okanagan Confederacy (1983: Doomsday)

The Okanagan Confederacy was a loose alliance of cities in the Okanagan region of British Columbia that banded together for mutual support and defense after contact was lost with coastal BC during doomsday in 1983.

Post Doomsday
In the aftermath of Doomsday, the Okanagan region's remote location, low population, and lack of military importance spared it from being the target of nuclear attack. While some were caught in the irradiated rain caused by water vaporised in the Vancouver blast, most of the fallout bypassed the region. With much of the Fraser Valley destroyed or irradiated, the closest link to the outside was cut off. Short range communications were able to be maintained through radio transmissions, but for the most part telephones were down along with television.

Member Cities:


 * Kamloops
 * Kelowna
 * Peachland
 * Penticton
 * Salmon Arm
 * Summerland
 * Vernon

Current Status
Currently the confederation is barely existant. It acts more as a forum to air grievances between cities than as any sort of real alliance. With regular contact being re-established with Victoria, and likely integration into the republic's borders, the confederation's future is dim.
