Talk:Assiniboia (1983: Doomsday)

There! This should get the ball rolling. As usual, any modifications or extensions that would improve the article are encouraged. Yankovic270 21:44, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

do you think this nation would use the old Manitiboa flag? and how do you put flags in articles? --HAD 09:14, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

If anyone has any ideas on how to flesh this article out, fee free to add to the article. --Yankovic270 01:05, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Looks like a good beginning. I do have a question about its territory in North Dakota...isn't that part of the Republic of Lakotah (NAU member)? I'm not sure about the borders for Lakotah, but I wonder if it's right on the Assiniboia border or if the two nations are both claiming the same portions of old North Dakota?--BrianD 20:23, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It does look like they are crossing into Lakotah territory on the map.  Mitro 20:35, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * There could be some overlap, with tech levels and population density so low. Depending on how organized society is, there may not yet be a need to define a border - the citizens of Lakotah and Assiniboia each know who they are.  Benkarnell 21:10, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * On the east side they're gettin awfully close to Superior too. --DarthEinstein 22:33, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I just thought it was easier to recycle an map of the old Red River Colony, than to create a new map by scratch. --Yankovic270 23:35, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Congrats on start of this article, but I must ask, why Niverville? Tbguy1992 16:47, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. It is probbably because it is close to where the first Assiniboian Prime Minister lived, and thus was much more convienient than Brandon or Steinbach. --Yankovic270 17:09, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Population
Hi, Yank. The population of Assiniboia should be 472,462

This is based on the following formula: I don't know how bad the conditions would be in the areas encompassed, so a harsh mortality rate among the general population may not have occurred. The population in 1983 after the bombing of Winnepeg would have been 952,258. About a tenth of those were directly affected by the bomb(s). The rest would have had to deal with taking in the survivors, the loss of state and province governments, and modern conveniences. An overall mortality rate would vary quite a bit in the first years, so go with whatever you think is good.SouthWriter 20:19, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * growth between 1980 and 1983
 * A 90/50/25 percentage mortality in the Winnepeg city/urban/metro area with a nuclear air blast
 * A harsh mortality of 50% rate for seven years
 * A growth rate of 1% per anum for 20 years

I'll go with the largest population possible, thanks. I am a "glass half full" kind of guy.

 * If we assume a modest 1% growth rate for 27 years, that 952,258 comes to around 1,210,000.SouthWriter 20:55, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Expansion
Would Assiniboia try to push northwards? And, out of curiosity, would the American's in North Dakota and those in Saskatchewan agree to joining Assiniboia?

If I had to answer these questions, I would say yes to both, because looking north, toward The Pas and Thompson area's, and possibly as far as Gilam and Churchill, to see how these area's are doing, as they wouldn't have been hit, but would still suffer because the majority of the area is Native, and would they agree to join Assiniboia? And, North Dakota, not hearing from Washington, would they agree to join, the same with south-eastern Saskatchewan? Or would Assiniboia eventually join with the North American Union as another part of it?

I will volunteer to write these bits if it is supported. --Tbguy1992 19:32, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
