California (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

The Republic of Califorina is a nation formed from northern part of what consisted the former US state of California.

Pre-Apocalypse
Prior to the apocalypse, most of what is now the Republic of Califorina consisted of the Sacramento River Valley, which once contained much of the OTL state's gold mines, which are now depleted.

Independence Movement
Then governor of California Edmund Gerald "Pat" Brown, Sr., an advocate for the state's independence, responded to growing call of its Latino minortity to join Mexico, sent a proposal to the Congress of the United States demanding a status of autonomy equivalent to that of the Philippines during the 1930's (an associated state). The proposal was fullfilled by the passage of a bill that establishes a provisional government on the state, then after 8 years a plebiscite would be held wheter to join Mexico or become independent on its own feet.

Provisional Government of the State of California (1961-1969)
The state is now beginning its step towards independece, and then Brown changes his title from governor to state excutive. At this time, progress on the state increased. As nationalist demands were soothed, businesses in the state, especally on major cities, enjoyed an all time high.
