History

Post-Doomsday

The Republic of New York was founded following negotiations in Ithaca between that state, Binghamton, and the various survivor communities in Toga county.

Government

The government of New York is a copy of the pre-Doomsday United States government.

New Capitol City

The government has acquired an abandoned town in Tioga county to use as the new capitol of the republic. This is to prevent competitions between the cities of Ithaca and Binghamton for this right. It is to be named New Albany in honour of the pre-Doomsday state capitol. The government has created a layout for the planned community, and the major government buildings (Capitol Building, Presidential Mansion, Supreme Court) have all been designed. Construction will start in early 2011, and is designed to be a massive make-work project.
