Free Watoga People's Party

The Free Watoga People's Party was a localist, anti-automation political party in Appalachia before the Great War.
==Background==
The Free Watoga People's Party was originally formed in 2076 by Scott Turner and two other members. Knowing the small group wouldn't be taken seriously, the trio voted for a name to make it sound like a formidable political movement.Abandoned Bog Town terminal entries; terminal, Encrypted Message 12.26.76 Although one of the members expressed their concern with "People's Party" sounding too communist, they respected the group's vote, still having a firm belief in democracy.Abandoned Bog Town terminal entries; terminal, Encrypted Message 2.12.77 After 14 drafts, the group completed their manifesto, highlighting the divide between Appalachia's blue-collar workers and Watoga's elite executives while calling for the Appalachians to unite and overthrow the city.Abandoned Bog Town terminal entries; terminal, Encrypted File

On October 22, 2077, the movement's leader launched Operation Free Watoga, causing the city's robots to malfunction and forcing residents to evacuate. While Turner had only planned to evacuate Watoga to make the elites beg for permission to live in the city again, Watoga's emergency services massacred the citizens as they tried to leave.Watoga Municipal Center terminal entries; Mayor's terminal, Mayor for a DayBarbara Elizabeth: "I've failed.
