Talk:Republic of Lincoln (1983: Doomsday)

Under New Management
I have decided to adopt this article, and I will make some changes to it. It will now be located in the city of Lincoln, Nebraska. I highly doubt it was attacked with a nuclear weapon, and the fertile land arround it make farming highly stable. --Yankovic270 13:49, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * You may want to look up Offutt Air Force Base. Its the HQ of the SAC and close too Lincoln.  The effect of the blast would surely cause some damage to neighboring farmland, though it wouldn't wipe out Lincoln.  Mitro 14:10, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Just so everyone knows, this is not the obsolete republic based in Chicago. This is the nation formed out of the state of Nebraska, whose capitol is Lincoln. Couldn't help but recycle a good name. --Yankovic270 14:21, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Omaha is even closer to the base, and as a major transportation hub of the country it might even be a target on its own. Either way I doubt Omaha is a functional city in this TL.  Mitro 14:25, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Do you think this article is a good idea Mitro? --Yankovic270 15:02, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Do I think the general idea for the article is good, sure. Do I think what you just wrote is a good idea, no.  Sorry to be blunt but what you have written doesn’t make any sense.  A nuclear bomb goes off a few miles away and no one seems bothered by it?  Fallout and climate change is causing havoc in the entire northern hemisphere except for in Nebraska?  A billion people are killed in one day and Nebraska only realizes it a year later?  I am making changes to make the article more realistic.  Mitro 18:25, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

So then you make the Governor commit suicide? Then who is the Vice-President, as the previous Candidate had been bumped up to President. --Yankovic270 18:47, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don’t know, but I doubt it would be Luedtke. He wasn’t even Kerrey’s LG, he was the LG of the governor before Kerrey.  Also I doubt he would hold the same position 26 years later even if he got it in the first place.  Since I can’t find any info about how old he is (or even if he is still alive) I think the best bet would be to use a more contemporary Lincoln-area politician.

Have you checked out my current progress on my article? Do you like my idea for the current President and Vice President? --Yankovic270 19:21, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

I have decided on where I am going to make this naton. It is going to be a sort of Anti-Virginia. A quiet, pacifistic, democratic nation. --Yankovic270 20:10, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Can someone take the crappy duchy of whatever stuff off the Republic of Lincoln page? --Yankovic270 22:38, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

this sounds/reads like a good idea. --HAD 10:00, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

"New" flag and CoA
For convienence's sake I "borrowed" the flag and CoA of the State of Lincoln in the timeline "An Independant in 2000".

 * You're welcome. Seriously though, I just don't want people to edit my TL beyond grammar and minor inconsistencies that I might have missed. If you like one of my images, feel free to use it yourself, I just ask that you refer to where you got it from.--YNot1989 20:52, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Hello?
Is anyone still reading up on my talkpage? --Yankovic270 19:07, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, I am pretty much finished. Anyone want to comment on it? --Yankovic270 20:22, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

I like the article. i could understanding building a replica of the lincoln memorial, considering the respect Lincoln is held in, but rebuilding the entire city? isn't that a waste of money?--HAD 15:40, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

True, but it is part of a New Deal-type plan to allieviate unemployment caused by Doomsday. If they are building the new city, they are not on the steet. It also provides a new, grand, clean city for the new nation. Therefore, it is an (allmost) perfect replica of Old Washington. It allows me to use an aerial photo of Washington, DC

that makes sense. --HAD 16:04, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Also I could write in attacks from violent Hun-like gangs of barbarians. That could cause severe damage to the city. --Yankovic270 16:12, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Contact too early
The year of contact for Lincoln seems to early. The NAU only made contact in 2009 and they are a lot closer to the outside world then Lincoln. Mitro 02:17, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Lincoln did not physically make contact. They did so via HAM radio transmissions of the Republic of Lincoln's Declaration of Independance. --Yankovic270 16:45, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

why is lincoln on the country profiles page? --HAD 11:52, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
