Republic of Susquehanna

Susquehanna, the Anti-Zombie Nation

The **Republic of Susquehanna** is a republic from Althistory that are from Night of the Living Dead Alternative History Map Game. It is also a member of the United Confederacy of Exiles.

## History

### Night of the Living Dead

The Republic of Susquehanna voted to secede from Pennsylvania on December 24th, 1977 due to citizens belief that they needed to rejoin the United States, and wanted their opinions to be heard.  The counties that voted to secede were: Montour County, Columbia County, Northumberland County, Lycoming County, Union County, and Schuylkill County. When things went bad they tried to remain with their homeland but a few years into it they realized that it was time to part ways.  Most of the government was local for some time, until some members organized them into a republic. And things got worse when the dead decided to come out and eat everyone.

### Being Removed & Relocated

The United Nations & Creations later came and started wiping out all the zombies. Unfortunately, the UN&C also booted out every single person on the planet. Including the citizens of Susquehanna. They were taken to a few stargates and ended-up on the planet, Usonia. The place they landed in is actually pretty nice with the best part being is that it doesn't have any zombies. The people did come into contact with other nations such as the Constitutional Republic of Columbia and the Mojave Coalition. Later, it became part of the United Confederacy of Exiles. Not long after, they made a treaty with the CRC about letting their troops trained on their shores in exchange for any advance tech they can give them.

## Government

The government isn't all that different from what is used to be. The Governor is the person in-charge of the nation with the Governor's Office being the executive branch. They have their own Congress with the Senate being the upper house and the House of Representatives being the lower house. And the Supreme Court of Susquehanna is the judicial branch. Much of the government isn't really all that different from the USA.

There are a few political parties in Susquehanna. We have the original Democratic and Republican parties but there are more. There is the Pacifist Party, the Socialist Party, and the Libertarian Party. There was the Secessionist Party that wanted to break away from the USA but was later disbanded.

George Damus is the current governor.

## Society and Culture

Originally, after the zombies appeared, they were more focus on survival and have a post-apocalypse culture to it. Now, on Usonia, the culture is similar to the USA like capitalism, apple pie, the same old propaganda. Although, it has some of the styles from the late 1960's to early 1970's. But on Usonia, some of them adapted to their new environment and accepting of new cultures of various species that support the "American Way" such as the Ferengi, Chichins, Liberatas, and various others with many escaping slavery. Although, there is a huge hatred towards the undead so all forms of undead are to be killed on sight. So, if you are an undead from a fantasy series; you should avoid Susquehanna.

## Economy

Other than the trade with the Constitutional Republic of Columbia with the CRC's troops maritime training for advance technology, they have other stuff going on in the economic sections as well. There are plenty of farmlands in Susquehanna where wheat, corn and barley being grown in old, traditional, American tradition despite the new location. Although, new forms of farming have been applied in order to grow more food. New methods include in vitro meat, cultured meat, and vertical farming.

Fishing is also part of Susquehanna's economy as they harvest fish, shellfish, and cephalopods in the sea up north. However, there is a great deal of crabs that can be found in many restaurants along with shrimp cocktails. There is also a great deal of lumber that is traded and they can instantly grow more trees thanks to some of the technology from the CRC. 1960's music is also traded with some new hits they made around that decade and the 1970's as well. Mining is prevalent but there isn't much mineral wealth.

## Military

The military of Susquehanna is the **National Guardsmen of Susquehanna**. It was originally comprised of veterans and drafted civilians in order to combat the zombies on their world. It is divided into Army, Air Force, and Navy. Sadly, they do not have a Space Force. And recruitment is more voluntary than drafting people but they do draft those with experience and expertise.

As the name stated, the army only protects Susquehanna as a self-defense force.
