I just don't see how the US military vanishes the way the gm makes it sound like it does. All those assets are still out there and since you have players with control of states like texas or california access to US military assets should be more common than the GM makes it sound like.

I suspect it's a asymmetrical situation as I just don't see why some players wouldn't have access to jets, helicopters, ships and tanks. The situation isn't apocalyptic (no nuclear war between America and China occurred after all) and the US has tons of energy resources even if global trade has collapsed which it likely did as China is probably a pariah state over the destruction of the worlds orbital infrastructure and the global economy tanking is just inevitable in this situation.

I am contemplating being Oathkeepers or some radical group of that nature.

I just think there are people severely overestimating the military capabilities and ideological projection capabilities of other countries here. The US is still military super power here. A humilating defeat trying to invade a country whose military philosophy was built on guerrila warfare from the days of Mao onward doesn't make the US military which has bases literally all over the world magically vanish.

Blowing up a couple super carriers and satellites doesn't mean a country with a global military hegemony suddenly loses that edge. The worst case scenario is a loss of our military activity in East Asia due to being rebuffed by China. The US military is like 6-10x more expansive than the next largest military. The power balance is very lopsided... Intervening in the civil war of a super power would be a massive, massive gamble for any foreign force.

Also does the US international military still carry out operations even if the domestic situaiton has collapsed? I mean, they are likely without their CiC to set an agenda but they're still likely out there. A military without a country and all that.

@Keyguyperson

When will this game be started?

I'd also like to ask everyone if they're willing to give up some territory to the feds, since we're filling up quicker than I expected and there isn't much room left for the poor fucks.

Can I do a thing with just a single character? No nation, no faction, just someone trying to live day to day?

@aladdin_sane Excuse me we have at least one or two Maoists and ONE of them happens to have Hoxhaist sympathies AND defends the DPRK.

@LordZellArea 51 is outdated terminology, and was really only used by the CIA to refer to the base. Proper names for the base are Homey Airport, or Groom Lake/Groom Lake Air Force Base. It's also primarily used for testing Aircraft and Air-based Weapons, so your utilization of the technology housed there would be limited to that field of conflict for the most part, and that's without mentioning that many of the projects there are likely prototypes barely ready for field testing. It's also less of a 'base', and more a defended airfield, with it primarily being a remote detachment for Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California, and considered by the government to be an extension of Nellis Air Force Base. It's past experiments include the Lockheed U-2, A-12, D-21, Have Blue, and F-117 Nighthawk, and testing Soviet and Chinese Aircraft captured during various operations. Official CIA involvment lasted until 1979, and since then it has been under jurisdiction of the military brass at Edwards.

So while having the base under your control would aid in air combat, without also controlling the nearby Nellis AFB, and Edwards AFB, you'd be rather limited, and it CERTAINLY wouldn't give you a significant edge in most forms of combat.

Well if its allowed im gonna slot myself in as Mexico (Planning on having the current government fall to their own rebels who are inspired by the fall of the United States) So you can count me in on this, Ill have the sheet up probably tonight or early tomorrow.
