The Chicago Republic (1983: Doomsday)

History
The Chicago Republic was a small city-state founded to attempt to bring the chaos and anarchy of Chicago back to it's order. In 1985, remaining officials joined together and attempted to create a provisional state, until they could find other places to settle. Them and some former police officers went to the nearby suburbs and set up their government. They survived, though just barely, until they found radio contact with Superior, and unanimously decided to head there, not unlike New York's citizens moving to the United States of America. They barely survived, and were extremely close to death at the time.
