Nebraska (pronounced /nəˈbræskə/) is one of the founding states of the Provisional United States located on the Great Plains of North America. The state's capital is Scottsbluff, re-founded after the Lakotah War, and its largest city is Alliance. The state covers about half of the former American state of Nebraska.
History[]
Following the aftermath of Doomsday, the towns of the Nebraska Panhandle were cut off from both the federal government, with the state government in Lincoln, Omaha and environs all being obliterated. Throughout the 1980s, the area became inudated with refugees, especially from Manhattan, Kansas and Lawrence, Kansas.
While the former state government formed a provisional republic, the communities of the Panhandle existed on their own. The city of Alliance became the de facto capital of the area as the different communities often gathered there to discuss trade and settle disputes.
In 1987 the area experienced increased raids by nomads allied with the expansionist Lakotah. After a raid by a Lakotah war band into their territory in 1988, the towns of Western Nebraska voted to send a contingent of volunteers to help the state of Wyoming and its allies fight in the Lakotah War, with the first assembling outside the abandoned city of Scottsbluff. The collection of communities became unofficially known as the "Scottsbluff Association." This act of cooperation convinced the Association members to join the Provisional United States in 1992, becoming one of the five founding states.
Following the War and formation of the Provisional United States, Nebraska would re-construct Scottsbluff to be its capitol, with many of the towns former residents returning alongside new arrivals. Alliance remains the largest town in Nebraska, and the state at large is one of the most depopulated due to the high number of fallout-related deaths incurred on its population. Given its proximity to both Torrington and Fort Collins, American historians have projected this combined region along the Platte may emerge to be the new Union's first new metropolitian area.

Economy[]
The economy of Nebraska is based primarily on agriculture, with the primary crops being barley, sugar beets, corn, and beans. The sugar Nebraskans refine from beets has sated the sweet tooth of the North American Union for years. There are modest oil deposits in Cheyenne County, which is mostly consumed in-state or purchased for the National Oil Reserve.

Sports[]
Scottsbluff is home to the professional football team the Nebraska Cornhuskers, which plays in the North American Football League.
Education[]
The state's largest (and only) standing center for higher education is the University of Chadron (formerly Chadron State College). Only a handful of Nebraskans attend college, with its rates being the lowest in the new United States.
