Nebraska

Nebraska is a state in the Western regions of the United States, it borders Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Nonvormia, Ronald, Chaster, and South Carolina, via an exclave.

### History

For millennia, Nebraska has been mostly uninhabited, remaining so until around 3000 BCE, when an unknown Native Tribe set foot in its boundaries, as discovered by a set of footprints found on the modern day Nebraska-Ronald border that no natural forces bothered destroying. The first signs of habitation trace back to the early 1400s, by a series of particularly low-effort cave paintings and some of the first instances of the wheel, which were never put to good use. Nander Thal, resident of Back-Germany still holds the record for first wheel, since it has been deemed "Better" by the Guinness World Record Council's Wheel Division.

In the mid-1600s, the area and its few natives, known as Nebraskianites, narrowly avoided being colonized by the Swiss, as they have a tendency to settle land in a hole-filled pattern to maximize cheese production, leaving them untouched for many years thereafter. The first colonists wandered into the state in a desperate search for food, in an event called the Hunter-Gatherer incident of '97. A bus of tourists overshot a bit while travelling through the Colorado-Krahlag wormhole and ended up in Nebraska. After days of wandering, the group discovered the Nebraskianite tribe, which was their first contact with the outside world ever.

From this, the tourists and the Nebraskianites formed the independent nation of Nebraskiania, but as soon as there was evidence that people lived in the area, there was incentive for the United States to conquer it as per Manifest Destiny. After Nebraskiania, which has been anglicized to Nebraska upon joining the Union as the last state, was integrated, the US forces promptly left as there was "Simply no reason to stay". Fortunately for Nebraska's economy, the tourists had lots of experience with tourism and used that experience to make Nebraska more enticing to visit, which is when they began to make changes.

### Modernization

In the early 2000s, following the 9/11 Distraction Scheme, The locals advertised the fact that Nebraska had no towers to be destroyed in the first place, and this caused a spike in tourism and migration to the state. However, this still didn't account for the total lack of modern infrastructure, they needed a way to attract skilled labor into the state, and they began planning.

In 2019, the two major factions of Nebraska, the Tourists (belonging to the Tourism Party) and the Nebraskianites held a referendum to decide a new state flag that was more trendy. They settled on the current design while ignoring all submissions from the locals who recently moved to the state, many of which were artists and graphic designers, the Neo-Mormon church accused the flag of being a "gay influence" for the youth, all accusations were met with no comment by the designers. Another referendum was held to change the name from "Nebraska" to "Nebrazka" for similar reasons, this however never passed.

The controversial flag design sparked protests in the unpaved streets of Nebraska, demanding that they change the flag.

   The presence of protests began a mass migration of police officers to the state, wildly shifting the demographics from the tourists and natives to be almost completely police officers. This was until a new law was signed in Nebraska, making it illegal to be a police officer. This sparked protests, pressuring the Nebraska Government to repeal the recently signed law.

### The COVID Age

In 2020, things have spiraled out of control, the police protests attracted more police officers, which sparked more protests and attracted even more. At one point, there was no order, police officers arresting police officers for breaking the law, protests became riots, and arrests became a suggestion. All parties not involved with the police began a mass exodus from the state until the pandemic came into action. This effectively trapped every resident in the state in a massive battle arena, and only one can come out on top. It was police officer vs police officer, every police officer for themself. Rising tension caused by the apocalypse-like state of society in Nebraska, and the protests to allow police officers to enter into Nebraska to deal with the protests and laws being broken pressured the United States government to bring an end to the pandemic and hope the issue would solve itself.

### Aftermath

After this event, no one was left alive, and Nebraska returned to how its been for thousands of years, an uninhabited wasteland that just so happened to not ever be touched by man. Quite poetic, isn't it? Like it's uh like nature was mad or something, y'know?

The events of the past few years in Nebraska were quickly forgotten when the news stopped reporting on it.

### Trivia

* Nebraska is represented incorrectly on the state flag because they forgot about the backstates while designing it.
