Talk:Nebraska (1983: Doomsday)

Area of state
I was wondering about the area of the state. The narrative includes only the far western counties, but for practical reasons I was thinking of enlarging it to reach south from Lakota to Kansas. This would triple its size but probably not increase its population very far. The competing claims for the state from the Republic of Lincoln also mean that there needs to be an enlarging of the PUS state.

In the revised PUS map I put up recently, I made Nebraska to be a little over a third of the former state. I started out as a supporter of the Republic of Lincoln as being the "legitimate" Nebraska, but have since come to believe that a government more attached to the past would be more appropriate. However, since the Republic has not tried to expand, it may be possible to negotiate its territory to the southeast corner (or perhaps the full eastern half). I have mapped the RoL as all the state south of the Platte River, but that would cut across contiguous territory of the PUS.

The northeastern corner of Colorado was made a wasteland, relegating the PUS state of "Colorado" to the mountainous Northwest. Furthermore, the southwest corner of Nebraska (both in the panhandle and the south) would be affected with fallout from the bombardment of the missile silos. This in itself would tend to cut off whatever part of Kansas was left to form a PUS state. The map I have included on the PUS article forms an unbroken territory with these facts in mind.

I was going to edit this article, but I will leave to others for right now. I have other projects I am working on. --SouthWriter 00:13, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
