Talk:1983: Doomsday/Misc2

Atlantic/Carribean American Authority for US Territories
I would like to make a page for the US's Atlantic and Carribean territories and a government they could form. This proposed "" would govern Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Navassa Island, Gitmo, Serranilla Bank, and any other territories for a certain period of time until little by little the organization was diminished to only a small area of control where they would remain to the present day. Please if anybody would like to work on this with me list your name below. Arstarpool 00:38, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Your proposal conflicts with the Puerto Rico article somewhat. It pretty much states that the Commonwealth government was running itself up to 1984 when they established their independence. Also it has already been established on the South Florida article and talk page that the Cubans would control Gitmo. Mitro 04:24, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is some wiggle room here seeing as the Caribbean Federation is fairly vague. Also I think it should be a member of the East Caribbean Federation seeing at it has adopted its currency. Also I'd like to see what territories the controls now or has controlled in the past. --GOPZACK 18:05, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Zack, there were indeed quite a few territories in the western Atlantic and/or Eastern Caribbean. Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, working with the Consulate office in the Bahamas perhaps, could easily have established control over the islands in question almost immediately. Reagan's office could have had some contact with as many consulates as possible (though from reading this time line that is not so clear). These territories should have been very active in the days immediately following DD - receiving east coast refugees, sending relief ships (cruise ships that had off-loaded their passengers before returning to ports on the continental US, etc.
 * I will volunteer to help Arstar on this. If the article on Puerto Rico has to be changed, we will have to tread carefully because of QSS, but it is always possible that the original editor(s) did not take all pertinent things into account. --SouthWriter 20:02, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * So here is a loose history of the USAR, then:
 * It takes its roots in the Gitmo situation. Regardless of what happens with Gitmo, the US Navy will send some troops out to the Carribean to check on the islands.
 * Navassa Island is as always, quietly empty.
 * The US Virgin Islands are, well, in confusion and in water and food shortages, but have reached a level of stability.
 * Puerto Rico is in chaos because they actually were hit on Doomsday, but not in disarray.
 * By the 1980's, Puerto Rico will probably leave the remnant, or possibly even fracture into an American side and a Hispanic side.
 * Eventually the organization will join the ECF under, well, unique conditions regarding their soverignity (representation, political autonomy, etc.)
 * Ultimatley the Remnant will serve as a service to keep America alive (in a way) in the Atlantic/Carribean and to help refugees and stragglers that didn't make it to the Gathering Order (which would be almost all of the Navywith the Panama Canal closed they wouldn't want to trek aroung South America to get to Australia.)
 * If you are gonna work on it please do, as I can rarely log on these days and I need someone to help me work on my articles.

 * Oh, and at the moment it controls Navassa Island, which would probably be repopulated by now at Lulu Town, Gitmo, assuming the Americans defeat the relatively weak Cuban army and others who made it through the Cactus Curtain and the Mine Curtain, and the USVI, assuming the ECF is modified to include the USAR under special conditions.
