Skywalker Ranch
Unfortunately, it'd be, far as I can determine, right in the path of fallout from Edwards AFB and/or Mare Island. Lordganon (talk) 11:32, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Edwards is within easy fallout range of the region.

San Francisco does not have the same wind direction as areas north of it. And, more important, WNW is, for all purposes, blowing west.

There'd no weather stations in those communities, Crim. While they have a lot of info for most places, wind direction isn't one of them. If there was no wind that day, then it would say zero, or something to that effect. It being blank means that no one recorded it, as there was no weather station there.

That DD map, with regards to the west coast, is not accurate. Not even close. Winds west of the Rockies go west, and winds east of them go east. The map itself is also designed for high-altitude fallout, not the low stuff that we deal with.

Sorry, Crim, but it gets fallout more or less dead-on.

Lordganon (talk) 10:30, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

The wind direction indicates the direction from which the wind would be coming, not the direction it is blowing. A wind blowing from WNW (292.5 degrees) would take wind to the ESE (112.5 degrees), or almost east. Meanwhile, the wind direction in Sacramento is from the SSW, and thus "blowing" NNE (22.5 degrees), or basically north. The weather reports are clear, surface winds are indeed in Skywalker Ranch's favor. Depending on the size of the blasts over San Francisco, there may have been some damage, though they were 30 miles away. Likewise, the blast over Travis Air Force Base, a target between Sacramento and Skywalker Ranch, is over 30 miles away.

As for the "low stuff that we deal with" here, it would be survivable unless we assume ground bursts. The gamma radiation is absorbed within micro-seconds of the blast. Therefore, the irradiated particles in question are mostly material in the vaporized casing of the bomb itself and not so much the debris drawn up into the resulting mushroom cloud. If the blast(s) over San Francisco forced fallout along the shockwave, the distance in all directions would distribute the high level radioactive material significantly, lessening its overall toxicity.

Though George Lucas did not live at the ranch, it was a "film-makers retreat." This means that on any given weekend he or his associates may have been there. September 25, 1983, was a Sunday, so a little research would be needed to determine the population of this micro-state. It would survive, but as to how well is dependent on the resourses and the resourcefulness of the live-in staff. Another thing to consider is contact with the California Republic, which reaches to Vallejo across San Pablo Bay from Novato and the ranch. SouthWriter (talk) 20:11, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

My bad, Crim. Don't know why I kept thinking of Edwards as Travis was right in front of me, lol. Look at Travis AFB, not Edwards AFB.

Mare Island is not at Novato.

Moreover, you're wrong about it having "still" conditions. If you look at data on that site, you'll find that aside from temperature, there is little data around that time period. Simply put, they didn't get any data to write down. That is not the same as a "zero." Crim, the area is known for its winds. There was wind, simply put.

Crim, that fallout map, and patterns like that, are long range fallout. Atmospheric winds, and overall wind patterns, over all areas and averaged over the course of a year - wind direction does, in fact, change over the course of a year in many area. Not the short range stuff, or where it would initially go. By and large, of course, the ground winds do follow a pattern similar to that.

But, the West Coast? Not at all. There are many more factors at play, and different winds. The area in question, for instance, is one where there are major disruptions in these patterns. The winds, in fact, generally follow the shape of the bay.

I admit, I misread the wrong column in a table before. That being said, it doesn't change the fact that the area is screwed.

In San Franciso and Oakland, the winds come from the west, right off the ocean. To the south of the bay, in and around San Jose, the winds come from the northwest. But, the rest of the bay(s)? The winds come from the south. Virtually all the weather stations in the area have records saying this is the case, overall, at that time of year. Not a limited thing, either. The winds go northwards to a point well beyond the northern shores of the bay.

Now, think about that. The wind will bring fallout from the two cities northwards. And this was a pair of confirmed ground strikes - megaton sized to boot. While it will turn northeast eventually, the Ranch is screwed. Any survivors will be very small in number, and more or less toast.

So, I (Mayans) want to cut a deal in PMII. You up for it? CourageousLife (talk) 23:03, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Your neighbor, Manchuria. Their colonies are getting a little to big a little to quickly for my liking. Not to mention that is all they do, is expand their colonies. I say we do a coalition war. You can take Manchuria in it's entireity, with certain trade rights for me, as long as I get their new world colonies. CourageousLife (talk) 23:57, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'll accept the deal. -Kogasa  2013年2月27日 17:51:40 (JST)

Personally, I like China. So I won't invade Malacca if you really care(though I will say that your plans to vassalize it are a bit selfish). I'm just letting you know that the Venetians are planning on doing the same from what i've read.AP (talk) 04:10, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Would you please not invade Sundabang and its vassal Jambi please, because Mataram/Orissa have interests there. We will not interfere in any way with Malacca. :L  Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:05, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure either Mataram or the SOC (the South Oceans Company) wouldn't mind that at all! Increased trade!! While we are here, Crim would you like to return to Red Sun, as it id your TL.

No one has worked on it much, and I am trying to sort out the human history, but I need to know what you had in mind for the humans and stuff... :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:28, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

As caretaker, sure man! :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 15:50, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

So, I realize that the Mayans aren't the most plausible nation on Earth. I want to try and change that, because I see that I'm rubbing the mods the wrong way. Do you have some suggestions for actions that you would consider plausible for me to do right now? CourageousLife (talk) 20:06, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
