Talk:Aroostook (1983: Doomsday)


 * Why exactly is the convoy carrying the state officials, guarded by the National Guard, destroyed, while the National Guard are then able to manage immigration and the defense of Aroostook?

Politics
I have no qualms about this article being graduated. A major question I have however is how the convoy that is carrying the state officials to Aroostook, under the guard of National Guardsmen, is destroyed, and then there are still enough guardsmen to manage immigration into Aroostook? Also, can we assume that the Democratic and Republican parties make up the majority of local politics, or have Canadian politics slipped into Aroostook as well? Lahbas 20:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I moved that comment here, since it was time to move this out of the Proposal category.
 * I would think that Doomsday and 20 years of aftermath would replace the Dems and Reps with something totally new. The USA is gone, the political system is different, the issues are different.  Probably new parties would form once the Aroostook government emerged.  They could be quite similar to the old parties, but I think they would almost definitely be different institutions.

I just used the # of guardsmen used when we were discussing this article. I can change it to seem like their was less but we should probably assume that the entire Maine National Guard was not centered on Augusta at Doomsday. It’s a big enough state where they would be spread out. Plus some of those in Aroostook could be deserters who went home to protect their families. Mitro 13:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Referendum
I read the article, and I was wondering what people think should happen in the referendum on the 25th. DarthEinstein 19:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As a Canadian, I say merge with the former province of New Brunswick and join Canada as the Province of Aroostook. Aroostook would maintain a lot of autonomy, they just wouldn't maintain their own military. Either that or join with the remnants of New England into a centralised state with close ties to Canada, perhaps to counteract the Superior/Saguenay bloc.--Oerwinde 08:08, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

 * For now, I would leave the size of Aroostook the way it is, and slowly expand the number of courntries in the area, with the objective of creating something that looks like France does. Preferably we would like something to manifest in Vermont/New Hampshire, and another in Quebec/Ontario. There is no way to ensure equality, without taking away equality. 00:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
