Republic of Gainesville (1983: Doomsday)

The Republic Of North Florida is an survivor nation in the north-central area of Florida.

Pre-Doomsday
The counties of North Florida all were normal farm country and didn't have much industry.

Doomsday
Most Floridians won't forget of this fateful day in which most of the state was wiped out. Lake City and South Florida in the Everglades were the spots to which much of the population fled. Most were from the northern cities, such as Jacksonville and Tallahassee, and the northern part of Tampa housed the refugees due to its central location away from large cities.

After Doomsday
Most of the town was filled to its limits due to refugees and it couldn't house the people. Riots began around the city, Lake City didn't know much to do, its food went low and people were fighting.

Soon a little order came when the government finally regrouped itself and the farms in the local area were cultivated. This allowed food for the people and some jobs.

In the spring of 1984 steady contact was made with the still surviving city of Gainesville which had managed to maintain order in their area.

In 1992 a constitutional convention was held and the Republic of North Florida was official formed

North Florida's flag will change in 2010 around May, to show Gainesville and Cedar Key. The first elections for the nation took place in 2009 with Catlin Marie Hill {D} from Cedar Key winning over Mark Dawn {R}. Catlin Hill took Lucas Shad {D} from Lake City as her vice president.
