Independent State of the Far West

The **Independent State of the Far West** (German: **Unabhängiger Staat des Fernen Ostens**), commonly called **The Wastes** are the lands that the ST Empire "occupies" in America. The lands are completely decivilized and undergo bombardments and other procedures to ensure the eventual extinction of mankind, so that they may be colonized and built anew in the future.

The wastes are fragmented into different cliques, microstates and warlord states, which all fight for scraps to survive. The majority of the population live like hunter-gatherers or rely on cannibalism and theft for survival. Some wealthy (for wasteland standards) groups find refuge in abandoned semi-collapsed bunkers, some of which have rotten canned foods from before the war, and thus live slightly better than the average wasteland primitive.

## Decivilization

The ST decivilization plan was issued by Emperor ST with a direct order to the Ministry of Occupied Territories.

The order read as follows:

*By the orders of ST, Emperor and Autocrat of the Greater ST Empire,*

*Following our triumph over the conglomerate forces in the Americas and the partitioning of them with the Garbian Federation we have decided to revise our earlier proposal of a unified American puppet-state and instead will follow a policy of "devolution".*

*The Imperial Cabinet has agreed on the following proposals:*

*1) All industrial and rural production facilities, such as factories, mines, fields and oil distilleries, along with many others are to be immediately destroyed. The destruction of industrial facilities shall be done through mass saturation bombardment by the Air Force, and all agricultural produce shall be eliminated through the deployment of several "defoliator"-class radiation weapons. Mineshafts will be forcibly collapsed and oil refineries will be disassembled.*

*2) All public works such as power plants and water distribution systems are to be destroyed by special demolition teams, water towers will also be gradually destroyed, but not before anthrax is thoroughly dumped within the network.*

*3) Every single radio antenna and other internet apparati are to be destroyed ASAP by carpet bombing, an EMI field targeting low-gain equipment is also to be immediately deployed at major urban centres within the occupied territories.*

*4) Every government building, regardless of importance, is to be demolished. Additionally all national flags excluding STUPIDS coalition insignia are to be confiscated and incinerated.*

*5) All personal belongings made out of modern materials (steel, plastic etc.) are to be confiscated and incinerated. The highest priority is firearms, all firearms will be confiscated and the majority will be given to the Imperial Protectorate of Clickistan.*

*6) All vehicles are to be immediately scrapped, no exceptions.*

*7) All reactionary groups such as the American Patriot Front and the pre-SlapeInc political parties are illegal and suspected followers of these movements will be shot on sight.*

*8) All private militias, no matter their political alignments, are illegal and their members are to be shot on sight.*

*9) Over 70% of food stores are to be destroyed and all wildlife is to be systematically exterminated.*

*10) All major urban centres will be devolved into "de-industrialized zones" with no running water, electricity or post 10th century amenities. This will encourage the natives to move out to the fully devolved rural zones where they will eventually be wiped out through natural selection.*

*11) Every 4 days there will be a "nation"-wide assembly at an unidentified de-industrialized zone and the most productive members of society will be transported to KZ-ST for immediate extermination.*

*12) All de-industrialized zones and remaining rural areas will be constantly bombarded with highly toxic chemicals that will result in sterilization of the residents.*

*The plan is expected to last until every man-made object and native in the occupied lands has been vaporized, after which the colonization process is to begin. The fully purified lands will become fertile grounds for massive farms which will hopefully feed the ST Empire for millenia.*

*God with us*
