Hoi Chummers..... Need some help. I am currently writing a back history for my Voodoo Houngon. He was a College Student on Spring Break to Haiti. Decided to stay, yes there is girl involved. A lovely French maiden whose father teaches at a University in Haiti. What Universities exist (if any) in Haiti. All I know is that Port a Prince is the largest city in Haiti. Can anyone fill me in on the latest information for Haiti in 2070?

You're going to hate me for saying this...

For Hate's sake I spit at thee, with my last breath I curse ye!!

John Hopkins Institute of Health likely runs at least one teaching hospital in Haiti. For the most part, JHIH owns Haiti. I figure that would be the most high-profile university system in Haiti, but there is also the University of Haiti, with about four thousand or so students.

So since SoLA is not yet a published book, would releasing info contained in it, not in "as written" context, but in general overview, violate the NDA? Is there an expiration date on that?

The answer to that is: I don't know. At this point, I'll err on the side of caution. But as far as the question on this thread, it's information not directly covered in SoLA anyway, so there's no real problem with me mentioning my opinion. The answer I gave is in line with the material in SoLA but isn't taken from the material in SoLA.

Indeed, that information can be inferred from Cyberpirates. JHIH owns Haiti and the Human Nation owns JHIH. Pgs. 36-38.

Of course, that's old information. Cyberpirates talked about a ten year turn-over rate for dictatorial administrations in Haiti and said the current anti-metahuman forces were due to go down any day - in 2059. So for a game set in 2071 or later, it's quite plausible, even highly likel that you'd be dealing with the successor government to the group that couped the government that was described in that book.

Yep, that speculation is correct and SoLA does update that. But as far as the question asked on this thread, about universities, JHIH would still be the most likely player there. That didn't change in SoLA and if it has changed by 2070, there's no information on it.

Thanks. To all three of you. And for reminding me that I need to find an old copy of Cyberpirates still.

Thanks peoples, I appreciate the intel. At least now I can update the backstory on my Voodun priest. I was going in the direction that a Council of Captains have power over the isle, these being the leading pirate captains in the caribbean.
