@Dinh AaronMk@ClocktowerEchos

With the Battleship and the Air Craft Carrier gone, excluding the one that is a a semi-floating/semi-beached housing facility, is everything else good to go?

I am keeping in mind all the points you brought up, to include fuel and the like.

I'd complain more about the population but I suppose it could always be explained away with immigration. After all a massive core of Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming would be absolutely devastated on the mere idea that, "thar be ICBMS there, maybe".

Posted... but I'm actually not nearly done. I keep getting super interested in a particular scene and wanting to flesh it out in its entirety.

Next up will be two scenes that are less in-the-thick-of-it than this one was.

Name: Republic of California
Flag:

Nation Type: Constitutional Republic
Claims:


Terrain: Republic of California territory is broken into two areas the northern and southern half containing a large mixture of terrain and geographical features all across the Area. large and small cities through out the territory are mostly destroyed or abandoned in favor of scattered settlements around forts located throughout the outlaying territory.Grimm and Evos still live in the territory but are kept away from human settlements by the Military and avoid destroyed metropolis. Natural and man made rivers and lake are scattered through out the territory and heavily guarded or watched, well the coast is sparsely populated with small fisherman settlements.

The northern half contains San Joaquin valley which contains a large area of usable farmland that is not irradiated, but also swathes of farmland that has been reduced to miniature contaminated wastelands from poisoning and radiation. Containing the snow capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada's with a mixture of rolling hills and high peaks and large forest of giant sequoia trees that have slowly expanded with no human involvement.With coastal range of rolling hills pockmarked with valleys and pockets of farmland and forest of redwood trees. This Area receives cooler temperatures and more rain from the climate change of the collapse.

The Southern half the R.O.C contains the Mojave and Colorado desert which have become inhabitable by most humans due to the temperature rise as a side effect, Edwards Air force base and a handful of settlements exist within the desert well fortresses of stone and scrap or abandoned police stations along the border for security. The large Urban sprawl along the south west coast, from Santa Monica to San Diego are largely destroyed and irradiated and surrounded by a large continuous wall containing a large numbers of grim and ferals within the area well fortresses are spread along the Wall. Multiple small forts and settlements pockmark the mountainous terrain within the southern half of the R.O.C.

Government Type: Republic of California modeled their government after the original government that controlled California before the collapse. Broken up into three branches Executive, legislative,and judicial. The Capital Contains all government headquarters and State Assembly. Militarism is always constant with in the R.O.C regarding government decisions due to a constant state of war fighting raider,feral mutants, and Grimm.

Capital: New Sacramento

Head of State: Governor Maison, Preston

Other Important People:
-Lieutenant Governor Richard, Johnson
-Attorney General Louis, Gonzalez
-R.O.C Military Department Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Zack, Pierson
Colonel Zhang, Yi (3rd Infantry"Grizzly")
Colonel Michael, Matthews (1st Ranger Battalion)

Population: 4.3 Million

Attitude Towards Evols: Neutral, but unable to run for political offices
Economic System: Economic interventionism

Resources: Republic of California's has a large amount of water that is naturally produced due to the drop of citizens due to collapse. They have massive amounts of Acres dedicated to Agriculture and Dairy's. Mines withdrawal Gold and coal they drawl from the earth and limited oil from small reserves.

Currency: Republic Dollar- Each bill is backed by gold within the reserve.

Technology: They are slowly advancing in their technology after recovering from the Collapse using simple technology such as Steam engine trains and telegraphs. constructed primarily of tents and sandbags or building off of ruins. They rely heavily on wind using windmills at farms, they have multiple wind turbine farms that are slowly falling to states disrepair due no new part the know how to repair them. From energy provided be the wind turbine farms it barely provide enough energy to power lights within the capital and power the telegraph network.Horses already abundant are used along with wagons for transport.

Official Religion: The Republic of California believes in the right of free relgion as long as it dose not promote violence.
Religious Information:Believers of religions all around the world can be found within the ROC as their the belief of freedom of religion is in their constitution.

History: Rising from the ashes of the collapse Californians we thrown into a shock as they tried to adjust to the new environment which was a slow process as they had to relearn how to do things in times of old and survive in these new times with shortages of food or death by new predators. Farmers prospered as they feeding the hungry well small populaces settled around the farms as cities became hunting grounds for bandits and Grimm. Militias were formed at first to defend these new found settlements using makeshift weapons and few fire arms and it ended in disaster. They pleaded with the self proclaimed government the Republic of California for aid.
Shocking citizens as soldiers in the California national guard rode in on horseback under the new republic of California flags shocked them. The Combat with bandits was fast furious and bloody as local bandits were rapidly dealt with,but results were clear as they had killed or chased off the bandits. Build up of Grimm was a constant Issue the first large scale engagement with them was planned at the former city of Fresno, a call was sent to militia's to help in and serve as a reserve. The 1st Infantry"Grizzly" Regiment with supported by Calvary scouts and artillery and even a few evos in their ranks and militias standing by watching. After hours of combat and casualties they won the day as they already prepared to march into the city and clear it out.

Becoming know for the victories and the new capital of California that was created from the ruins of Fresno named new Sacramento people flocked to the chance of hope and defense if they joined paying taxes producing revenue to gather more troops. spending the last five decades growing in rapid expansion they declared the south west coast as irradiated and inhabitable and erected a huge wall and forts to defend it from feral s and Grimm from breaking loose after multiple losses within the cities. Expanding to the former us Mexico border and into the desert were food was scare supplies and water from the San Joaquin valley were a god send as the ROC Grew and absorbed more settlements.

Culture: Cultural diversity was all over the California before the collapse and remained after and as more unified the peoples of the Republic of California. Militarism is rife in the populous as they are constantly fighting new enemy at their borders or fighting through ruins of former cities. They usually are calm and collected and professional at all times from military veterans and wounded veteran are always flowing into the populace guiding them and teaching the next generation.

Military Numbers: 104,000 Professional 20,000 Militia/Reservist
Military Units: Built from the former California National guard and reservist in the San Joaquin valley they kept the modern uniforms and organization.Supplied from national guard armories and what they could scavenge from national guard armories and bases for what ever they could building their ranks and filling their supplies.After fifty years of war with bandits and Grimm artillery munitions are all exhausted and replaced with old cannons,grenades and explosive are low and rarely used.They only have a four armored Humvee's armed with M2 browning or M240 machine guns that guard the capital. The common rifle among the ROC is the home brewed M1 Republic California bolt action rifle based on the M1903 Springfield rifle

@mrambo90Not too bad although the most major concern I have is with the military, bolt action is pretty much standard across all people with semi-auto being more common for some; stuff like M-16s are reserved for elite units.

As a side note, whatever water you draw up would be most likely irradiated to some degree unless its untapped ground water that's really far down.

I have made corrections to the original and on the water they pull water from deep water basins or natural occurrence of water production such as snow from the sierra Nevada range if it is not radioactive or from lakes that are non radioactive.

Nuclear fallout mate, all water would be contaminated to some degree with radioactivity and wind currents could easily sweep it up into mountain snow banks and lakes. Plus, there's still the water cycle to take into consideration.

Really, water doesn't become radiated. I forget the specific region for it, but water doesn't absorb and hold radiation the way you're thinking it would or should. In fact, water's a good insulator for radiation. You could technically swim in a storage pond with radiation at the bottom and not suffer any effects until you get within arms reach of the material at the bottom.

Of course the people storing it wouldn't let you for safety reasons, don't want ass holes proving they can and swimming to the bottom of their deep storage wells to show they can. If anything the biggest effect I'm aware of that radioactive materials has on water is in thermal radiation, where water will boil off of active nuclear fuel for power-plants making it necessary for some measures to keep the insulating, cooling water in.

Really, the risk of "irradiated" water is contaminated particles in the water. But spread over time in the flow of the water and settling somewhere far away would dilute the danger of radiation sickness to the point it doesn't simply matter. Unless you have Chernobyl upriver from you which would require filtration to catch the radiated particles flowing in from up-stream and this being continually refreshed by being continually exposed to a source of radiation. But you should really ask Kiev about their water in the end; their down-river from Chernobyl.

The thing I'd like to call out is the wind-turbines. While it's feasible those not caught in the air blast of a nuclear explosion could still work the present condition in this world probably isn't one where you can produce replacement parts to keep them maintained. They might even end up in the same sort of condition as Shorticus' solar panels to run his radios; there probably won't be anything new any time soon and they're not going to be as effective as they once were.

The old electrical distribution grid is probably shot too.

Really, I can let it run but it'd have to power one thing and one thing only. Pure wind-power isn't enough to be the salvation of any entire 3/4 of a state. So as long as it's maybe powering a few odd nearby telegraph machines I can turn a blind eye this once.

Yeah my fault their I will correct once I'm home i should of be more specific they use wind energy but it doesn't produce territory wide power it is enough to keep the lights on in the capital alone and power telegraphs and the everyone else has to rely on lanterns,candle or torches, I apologize
