Has it been addressed somewhere in the books where all of the Native Americans came from at the beginning of the 21st Century to take over that much geography? There simply aren't enough of them left in the US to make this seem feasable. Not trying to be insensitive, but I can't help but wonder about this. Granted, this shouldn't be the thing about this game that I put too much skepticism into when we so easily accept dragons, magic, and machine guns that go crazy after 3 rounds have been fired through them (3rd Edition beef).
