One of the other devs asked about the description of the “Independent States of America” in the following passage. They asked if allowing for a southern succession was offensive or inappropriate. How does this read to others?...
I’ve been thinking about Five’s excellent comments about states and the borders of a post-state world on one of our previous discussions.
