Oh, and for those playing the home game? In the Dirty South section of DIrty Tricks, there's a mention of the Tennessee-Georgia War, a brief bit of shooting over water rights between the states.
Today, Georgia just passed legislation demanding Tennessee turn over access to the Tennessee River. We don't discuss RL politics here of course, but, one of those "Predicting the future" bits. I had to bump the thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You don't? And I was just about to invade Belarus, the Ukraine, the Baltic States, Poland, and then Germany, Chech Republic, Hungary and Austria for no reason whatsoever!

I'm personally inclined towards minimal punctuation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Then why did you close with a period instead of letting the emote close the sentence? It's accepted practice among many on the Internet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

I think this has not been covered yet: According to Dirty Tricks Oklahoma wants to become part of Pueblo Corporate Council. but since the secession they no longer have a border with PCC. How would that work technically?

How would that work technically? They'd either A) be a sattelite state, like Seattle is now or California and Hawaii were, or they'd try to bring part of Texas with them. (Or, longer shot, they'd ask the UCAS government to give them their state 'sliver' back so that it could come too.) It's not the most rational of choices, which is one reason why it's never been developed. Compare it to the 2013 Texas Republic movement: A handful of vocal supporters and a quiet "Yeah" nod from many people, but the majority don't embrace the idea. It's just been stewing around in their collective head for decades. |

That figures as becoming an enclave and certainly Texas going 'native' seem a bit far-fetched to be honest.Hmm, maybe the CAS would trade PCC's newest acquisition for northern Texas plus Oklahoma just to spite Aztlan.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Recall that the section was written by a old-style CAS head as well. The idea of someone ditching his beloved CAS for some "Injuns" is laughable and he treats it badly. Were he a native, he probably wouldn't even have mentioned it aside from with an embrassaed sigh. "Oh, THOSE guys." That said, the CAS and the PCC still have high-level diplomatic talks. They might find a peaceful solution to this yet. Or they might start shooting one another. Time will tell.

Well, Oklahoma was the "Indian Territory" at some point, right? Though I think that was connected to forced relocation, so maybe they wouldn't really want it. |
