Coulee (1983: Doomsday)

The Republic of Coulee is an city-state located in central Washington, along the Spokane River, and is situated in an unclaimed area between Victoria, the North American Union, and Pasco Free State.

History before 1983
The area that would become the Republic of Coulee, was not inhabited, until the Grand Coulee Dam was built in 1942, and so was most of the cities were built in between 1935 and 1950, and Grand Coulee, Washington was incorperated in 1935.

Aftermath
On September 25, 1983 many of the residents of Grand Coulee, Washington and Electric City, were at work or coming home from school. All was peaceful until an radio switched over to the Emergency Broadcast System, which reported of an nuclear weapons launch coming in from the Soviet Union toward the United States. The deputy's and sheriff's of Electric City and Coulee set up blockades along the road, to keep people leaving toward the more dangerous parts of the state that are possible targets. Around 5:18pm, the power went out across the area, along with the US. This was followed by bright lights, rumbling thunder, and mushroom clouds rising on the western, southern, eastern, and northern horizon's.

When the sun rose over the area on the 26th, Bren sent to deputy's to the Grand Coulee Dam. When they arrived, they found most of the personnel survived. The ones that didn't were either old and had an heart attack, or comitted suicide. The engineers were later taken back to Grand Coulee, where they would be valuable for the survival of the towns in the area.
