What's the color/fairytale significance of the name there? It's still early for me so my brain ain't on.

War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

Welcome to the Motor City

Name:

The Integrated Republic of Detroit

Flag:

Claims:

Hider

Territory:

To the west of the Canadian Confederation, stretching over the remains of Detroit lies a republic stitched together with duct tape. President Trczinski claims the glory of the republic stretches from the remains of Bay City to Battle Creek and finally, Toledo.

In reality, the Republic is more of a loose alliance of states that believe in the centralized identity that they share with each having significant rivals, threats, and problems. While Detroit itself is the most centralized and defensible, there is a sprawl of dense wasteland between Detroit and its sister cities, the most significant being a irradiated waste between itself and Toledo situated around the ruins of the Nuclear manufacturing center of what was once known as Monroe. The military presence in Woodhaven describe the irradiated wastes that spans from southern Flat Rock over the ruins of La Salle all the way to the edge of Yargerville and Luna Pier. The locals call it “No Man’s Land” and “The Dead Zone”.

With the Great Lakes Confederacy to the north of the Republic, those in the remains of Bay City, Kalamazoo, and Battle Creek find themselves constantly stretched thin despite clear support from the President. With little nuclear wastes between them and the Confederates, a long line of trenches dot the heavily wooded central rivers and fields. The fear of white peace breaking down is a constant anxiety within these cities and that's not even considering the slave trafficking and raider groups that prey on the highways. Those situated south of Battle Creek and such areas, however, find themselves on their own and largely independent, which can be difficult with the roaming bands of supermutants and other factions beyond the old border.

But what the Republic lacks in sheer size it makes up for in organization and work ethic.

History:

The Integrated Republic of Detroit was founded by the scavengers with the idea of restoring a trade center in post-war Detroit, though difficulties began when conflicts collided between these scavengers and the few survivors of the apocalypse that had since become “ghouls”. But eventually these conflicts subsided and the foundations of the IRD were put into place. Descendants of these scavengers, Detroiters, have a common identity and similar goals in embodying their motto and credence (see quote) to the point that there is a shared unity in the greater good of the republic equating to the greater good of the individual.

Detroit endures, despite the challenges it now faces. Some of the key events in its history are detailed below for simplicity:
<sub>- 2198: The earliest version of the Republic is formed.
- 2241: Nathan Frakes is elected President of the Republic. A economic boom occurs some years later.
- 2251: President Frakes dies in his bed.
- 2282: Lifelong Detroiter and diplomatic asset, Montimer Pyke, is elected President.
- 2289: President Pyke is ousted from office after a public scandal. He commits suicide two hours later.
- 2298: Present Date</sub>

Pressing Issues:

Neighbors: Detroit has always seen as a wayward republic and has had many turbulent issues. They have never formally allied or declared war with its neighbors, of which, have significant land that Detroiters fear will lead to its fall if the wrong stone is thrown. A empire of "mobsters" to the south. Rival Michiganders to the north in the Confederacy. 'ronto to the East. With President Trczinski's election and her significant history as a military tactician and ruthless combatant it may strike up tensions and create the idea that Detroit is ready for war.

Political Situation: Trczinski is popular among the unwashed, but not particularly with the upper crust elites who had once controlled the last handful of Presidents. Her own Vice President isn't a fan of hers and has designs on the chair she sits in.

Raiders, Slavers, & Mutants: It's life in the wasteland and just because you stick a 'Republic' on an area doesn't mean that goes away. In Western Michigan a huge network of slavers, raiders, and undesirables has become prevalent. Smugglers dot the eastern side. Supermutants basically live out of No Man's Land in former Monroe, but also in the remains of the Warren Dunes in the west, Niles in south-central, and that’s without mentioning that Lansing is a big shiny hole in the ground that seems to breed the most of them all. Feral ghouls, too. Don’t go to Lansing. You’ll die.

“Getting closer...”

Another car swerved around Fhoros as he looked at the radar he had attached to his wrist since it was given to him by a very irritated Iphongar.

It was hard to focus as humans in their tiny ships began yelling at him for being in the way, for… cosplaying? Coswhatnow? What strange words humans had, but if they weren’t a hindrance to his progress he saw no reason to waste energy cells on them. The blue-armored alien was hardly as cruel as his comrade-in-arms, at the very least. It was probably one of his more discernable flaws, well, outside of not being very smart. But who needed brains when you had a big gun? That’s what he told himself often. Everyone always mocked him for it, but once he had the energems who would be laughing then? His sister might be so impressed she’d come back and they could conquer worlds together like they used to. Such silly hopes of his that he had when he should have been thinking about the mission at hand.

As he walked forward that was when a loud metal clank broke him of his thoughts. Huh?

Another human ship! But it was not moving. He looked down at the radar on his wrist, his right hand gripping the energy rifle as he looked at the readings. The readings that were telling him that the human vessel was what he was looking for! Wait. Were the humans using the energems as fuel? No, that didn't make sense. Humans were not smart enough to figure that out. They were basically apes who traded fur for really cheap looking armor. As he looked back up he investigated the vessel, not realizing there were two humans who were for sure about to notice him.

With his left hand he began looking through the vehicle's bed. Where was the energems that the radar detected? Wait. A metal box? He laughed joyfully, causing a lot of commotion as his hand moved close to the sealed package. A sealed package that immediately began glowing in a hue of green and blue. A hue that soon surrounded the vehicle.

“Ah!”

In seconds, a sudden explosion blasted Fhoros back and sent pieces of the truck flying forward toward the house and people in question...

Have been having a Fallout itch lately, but I don't want to stretch my time too thin. I might do a stupid. Yam knows. I got some ideas. Might need to adjust some things due to neighboring factions but I am very collaborative. Promise.

But you know me, there's always a place for my home city in my heart... so soon, there will be...

But did you really, Ink? Let's check your answers here. Honkers = ???

@ERode

Honkai, apparently. Which I have never played but it has a good buttrock infested OP so I looked into it.

Grimm Noir [Rebooting~]

typical

@Bartimaeus

Less sass, more CS

I finally realize what ERode meant when they said "honkers" and I feel stupid that I didn't get it for as long as I did not get it.

I have no excuse as I have been using my hypomanic creative energy in different projects. I'm awful. We'll see if I can get something out before that wears off.

@LadyAnnaLee

Haven't gotten any applications yet and I'm not the kinda gal to promise slots, so I'm waiting to see who makes what. :)
