Phillip Cunningham

Phillip Cunningham was an American drug dealer who operated around central Pennsylvania prior to and during the Great Collapse. An adversary to Brian Burnett, after the two clashed, Cunningham ganged up with his distributor and other friends to retaliate against Burnett.

Cunningham's strife with Burnett originally instigated the clash between the two gangs. Since Jason Payne, Cunningham's distributor had been killed after a confrontation, the remaining members of the group called to Ethan Delansky, who held the highest status within their crime ring.

Due to the personal conflict beginning between Burnett and Cunningham, Burnett believed removing Cunningham from the equation would somewhat solve, or mitigate the crisis, since the death of Payne hadn't prevented anything. On the afternoon of the 8th of February, Nathan Krauss took it into his own hands to eliminate Cunningham. He was killed from a distance during a drug trade with an allied gang from Pittsburgh.
Sabine Wald Miller

Miller in 2025

Sabine Wald Miller was an American accountant and finance manager who later became a finance tracker and accountant for a Seaboard institution following the Great Collapse. Miller was the sister of Brigitta Wald. Born in Philadelphia, Miller stayed in her home city into her professional career and did not share her older sister's passion for science. Instead, Miller attained a degree in business.

Sabine Wald married Miller, and the two had five children, the last being born as the Great Collapse was underway. The family grew desperate amid the chaos and lacked assets and resources outside of Philadelphia which were of little help to them. They persevered until sometime in late 2018 or early 2019, when Miller's nephew, Kyle Wald, had Seaboard officials relocate the family to Bridgeport, Connecticut. Initially hesitant due to her doubts of Seaboard's longevity, Miller warmed up to this as she and her husband were both fitted with mid-level administrative jobs.

Later, Miller and her husband acquired a mountain house in the mountains of Vermont. Kyle Wald often stayed here, and though it wasn't under his name, the house was only attained due to his connections. He would set up a laboratory in the basement of the house.

Miller had five children.

Joseph Walker

Joseph Walker was a military leader who rose to prominence as a commanding officer for the Great Lake States following the Great Collapse. Born in Detroit, Michigan in the 70s, Walker's early life was influenced by his family's military background. He attended a local military academy and rose through the ranks in the US Army until retiring as a Colonel. Following the Great Collapse, Walker's dedication to order and stability became even more pronounced. Originally being offered a position by the Confederate States, Walker received a more lucrative offer by Jared Coleman of the Great Lake States, promising to make him a General.

During the turbulent years that followed, Walker showed strong loyalty to Jared Coleman, who served as the president of the new Great Lake States. Walker's dedication to Coleman's vision was unwavering, and he became a key figure in the administration, serving as the lead Commander for the military forces under Coleman's leadership. Walker's reputation as a disciplined and relentless military leader grew, and his strategic insights played a crucial role in expanding the Great Lake States' influence and control. He commanded with authority and upheld a reputation for ruthlessness when dealing with internal and external threats.

However, the dynamics of power shifted dramatically when Wei Zhi, a former Seaboard general, was integrated into the Great Lake States' leadership. After a series of events, Zhi usurped Coleman. Walker, recognizing Zhi's strengths, pledged his allegiance to the new leader.
Bionovus

## Bionovus Subsidiary

Bionovus was a subsidiary of Seaboard Technologies that did genetic and biological research and development on a wide variety of subjects, mostly those in agriculture and livestock. However, following the companies acquisition by Seaboard Technologies in the late 1990s, the company began to pave the way with gene-editing programs such as CRISPR.
Albany Accords

The Albany Accords were a territorial treaty between the Appalachian Republic and Seaboard Territories. It was an comprehensive reform and conjunction of the governments of the two, which, by executive and military force, merged the two into one. The Appalachian Government under Elaine Cocklin became an individual state government under Seaboard. The takeover was only partially successful, however, due to how counties in the Appalachian Republic were horizontally integrated. Only about half of the counties in the Republic were successfully integrated into Seaboard. They were mostly in Pennsylvania, with others in Ohio, West Virginia, and New Jersey.

Appalachian President Elaine Cocklin and Seaboard Vice Chairman Jonathan Sisk met with other officials in Albany, on 21 May 2025. The President had previously collaborated with the Seaboard government, and expressed interest in such agreements. After the coup d'état orchestrated by SAACC leaders on 20 May, Cocklin used the event as a reason to sign the Albany Accords. She deemed joining with Seaboard and ending the war with them an integral part to the longevity of the Appalachian Republic.

The Appalachian Senate attempted to override Cocklin's decision on 23 May, but a filibuster presented a roadblock in the decision. This also presented challenge when many nationalist and progressive congressmen alike attempted to begin impeachment trials against Cocklin. Ultimately, the efforts were all but futile when the Confederate States overtook Harrisburg on the 3rd of June when it was in the midst of turmoil.
Capitol Command Center

The Capitol Command Center, or CCC, was a high-rise in Hartford, Connecticut, that served as the capitol building for Seaboard. Situated off of I91 on the Connecticut River, Seaboard Technologies began constructing the building in 2016 in anticipation for the years ahead. The CCC was a sleek, modern high rise characterized by glass facades, openness, and unique interior architecture and room design.

## Floors

The CCC has around thirty stories above ground, each floor having a designated purpose.

* Ground Floor: The ground floor serves as the main entrance and lobby area, providing a secure yet welcoming environment for visitors and personnel. It features security checkpoints, access control systems, and reception areas.
* Lower Levels (Basements): Sub Level 1: Below the lobby, there are freight and loading docks for seamless transportation of equipment and supplies. Additional storage spaces are available to support the operational needs of the CCC.
* Sub Level 2: Multiple lower levels house storage facilities, logistics areas, and utility infrastructure for the building. These levels also include backup generators, water reservoirs, and environmental control systems to ensure self-sustainability during emergencies.
* Seventh Floor: Held at least some prisoner rooms.
* Ninth Floor: The ninth floor is dedicated to server rooms and data storage. It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and backup systems, ensuring the secure and continuous operation of Seaboard's critical data.
* Tenth Floor: The tenth floor houses state-of-the-art labs dedicated to technology demonstration and innovation. It is equipped with cutting-edge equipment, research facilities, and collaborative spaces for Seaboard's scientific teams.
* Eleventh Floor: The centerpiece of the building, the eleventh floor is the capitol command center. It features a spacious and high-tech room with a half-circle shape. The room is filled with large screens, workstations, and communication systems to facilitate surveillance, dispatches, and coordination of city and territory-wide affairs.
* Twelfth and Thirteenth Floors: The twelfth floor serves as an open atrium and common area, providing a sense of openness and connectivity within the building. An open bridge overhead on the thirteenth floor connects to the Executive Suite, which houses the personal office and living suite of Michael Sisk, the Chairman Director.
* 23rd floor: STEM programs lead offices
Todd's Pop Song Reviews

**Todd's Pop Song Reviews** is where ToddInTheShadows takes a look at current charting (often bad) pop songs. While doing the review, Todd is enshrouded in shadow to enhance his mystery. In the beginning of every episode, he is seen playing his piano, which he has been playing for many years; and is usually playing the song that is featured in the review (unless the episode is of a Top 10 list, for which he plays a song of choice from the year of the list). The shadows conceal who he is as he could be just about anyone from a government spy to a humble church official.

Running gags include "Finish the Rhyme!" (to point out absurd rhymes), "NOT A RHYME" (for when the artist uses words that don't rhyme), and Todd's ethnicity. Pictures of Todd not in the dark show he is not white, but it is unknown what his true race is. From 2011-2012, there was also a subplot about his unrequited love for Obscurus Lupa, and his rejection of The Nostalgia Chick, crossing over into several other TGWTG shows. It saw its resolution in To Boldly Flee, with an epilogue in Todd's review of "Want U Back".

Alejandro Diaz

Alejandro "Torz" Diaz was an American pilot who trained and served the Confederate States of America as an Air Force pilot. He became trained and certified for the A-10 Warthog. He became recognized after a joint mission with the Appalachian Republic, serving alongside Marine Corps Captain Douglas Haynes. While on the mission, Diaz was shot down by an experimental anti-aircraft laser by Seaboard forces in central Quebec, Canada.
Battle of Batavia

Location of Batavia in New York

## Strength

### Strength

22,000 Appalachian infantry, 2 tanks, 3 osprey transports, 31,500 Seaboard infantry, at least one fighter jet

## Casualties and losses

### Losses

600 dead and over 2,000 wounded Appalachian infantry, 4,400 dead, 11,500 wounded, and nearly 3,000 captured Seaboard infantry

The Battle of Batavia, also known as the Defense of Batavia for Seaboard commanders or the Liberation of Batavia by Appalachian forces, was an Appalachian-Seaboard engagement fought over control of the city of Batavia, New York. The battle was critical in the Seaboard defensive following the Battle of Niagara Falls, since whether Seaboard was able to hold off Appalachian forces would determine whether they could splinter off and gain strength via a domino effect. The battle was known for being a major defeat for Seaboard, as their losses were significantly greater than those of Appalachia.

After the failed defense in Niagara Falls, New York, Seaboard Major General Godwin was captured and killed. Largely down to the word of Kyle Wald, the remaining offensive forces decided to attack Batavia, which had become a stronghold for the retreated army from Niagara Falls. This proved to be exceptionally useful to the Appalachian effort.

The battle, which lasted almost four days, began on 27 July when the Appalachian resistance shelled military garrisons throughout the city using artillery obtained from the Canadian Army surplus. It ended after occupying forces in the city were routed by a final offensive in the morning of 30 July.

Laura Mercer

Laura Mercer was an American attorney specializing in military law. After attaining her degree from Pennsylvania State University, Mercer joined the navy as a JAG officer. Mercer continued this line of work following the Great Collapse, and was renowned for her skills and intelligence in legal battles.

In August 2025, Mercer sought out Brian Burnett, choosing to represent the Marine as he faced a variety of charges by the new Confederate leadership in the state of Pennsylvania.
Pictablend

Pictablend was a social media application and network that became the sole, state-controlled social media application under Seaboard. Originally created by the Picta company in 2015, it sought to be an open source and more privacy-friendly version of Snapchat and Instagram. However, the app received little popularity, though was often used for illegal work due to its encryption levels. Picta was acquired by Seaboard in 2016, where it officially dissolved shortly after.

Once Seaboard internet services were established, Pictablend emerged again as the sole social media service for the territories. Though it was still proclaimed as being privacy-friendly, all information was stored and secured in data vaults in the name of national safety.
Battle of Harrisburg (2021)

Aerial view of Harrisburg

## Strength

### Strength

1 Appalachian Army division, 1 Appalachian Marine division, around 1,000 local militia rebels, 1 Seaboard Army Division, At least one bomber, 2 Heavy Sentinels

The Second Battle of Harrisburg, also known as the reclamation of Harrisburg or the invasion of Harrisburg, was an Appalachian resistance-led offensive that sought to reclaim their original capital, Harrisburg. After the First Battle of Harrisburg in 2019, the Harrisburg Committee was dissolved and Seaboard forces occupied much of what it originally comprised. The Second Battle was an effort to reclaim the capital and take back control of the territory.

As the original invasion was led by Seaboard General Sherman, he was also responsible for overseeing the defense of the city. Despite warnings by Brigadier Wei Zhi, Commander General Sherman, and Colonel Russel, Grand General Gardiner and Michael Sisk refused to make a tactical withdrawal from Pennsylvania. Due to this, just past noon on the 5th of October, 2021, the Harrisburg Capitol fell to Appalachian forces.

Exactly two months after the death of Sherman and the unconditional victory in Harrisburg, the Appalachian Republic was solidified.

Zoe Brooks

Brooks in 2025

Zoe Brooks is an American resistance fighter against Seaboard, who was held as a target multiple times.

## Early Life

Brooks was born into a tumultuous household. Her father abandoned her family upon her birth, leading to her living between Brooklyn with her mother and Liverpool, Pennsylvania, where her grandparents lived. Brooks was heavily dependent on her sister from a young age, who was involved in street crime through most of Brooks' childhood. Her mother worked long hours most days of the week.

When Brooks was 11, her sister, who had by then strayed away from crime and towards responsibility, took her younger sister and left to their grandparents house in Liverpool. Harper Brooks correctly predicted that New York City would be a hotspot for the newly spreading Jinanvirus. Later in 2017, Brooks, her sister, and their grandparents contracted the Jinanvirus. The siblings were without critical symptoms, but their grandparents died from the illness. The siblings were forced to go on without any help at the house family's house. By this time, Brooks began to look at her older sister as a sort of mother-figure.

In early 2018 as the two's supplies dwindled, Harper Brooks' former boyfriend Ethan Delansky visited to their surprise, along with a gang of his members, including Kyle Wald, who suffered from amnesia. Delansky had no intention of harming Zoe Brooks, and was somewhat protective of her. He only intended to stay as long as needed to avenge his late friend Jayson Payne. While the gang was staying at their house, David Cook, the eldest of the group, tried to rape Brooks. This was interrupted by Kyle Wald, who attacked and killed Cook. Wald made the demand that the group leave the Brooks residence at once, to which Delansky surprisingly conceded.

Zoe Brooks and her older sister struggled for nearly half a year after that to survive, learning to forage through the spring and summer.
Liberators

The Liberators are a far-left group of non-centralized rebels, activists, and antigovernmental fighters who employ various violent and nonviolent methods to achieve their goals, most notably the modification or complete destruction of Seaboard.

## Prominent Members

The following are prominent members of the Liberators.

* Jorge Ramos, an anarchist idealist who contributed to the Harrisburg Liberators during the occupation of Harrisburg by Seaboard following the Battle of Harrisburg.
* Thomas Brant, a US Army veteran who helped form and lead much of the Hartford Liberators, and those in Seaboard territories in the early to mid 2020s.
* Haley Porter, a organizer for the Liberators who is respected for her strategy in planning out anti-Seaboard measures and attacks, both violent and non-violent.
* Valeria Osorio, a former US Air Force officer who helped command, organize, plan, and lead groups conducting guerilla warfare attacks.
* Brian Burnett, an American Marine commander who was enlisted under the Appalachian Republic. However, Burnett has expressed disinterest in the politics of the Liberator organization, only helping due to shared higher interests. He does not consider himself a Liberator, although Brant does.
* Chloe Anderson - Though she did not start connected to any main group, Anderson proved to be a prominent artist for the cause that propagated their message in a meaningful way.
* Albert Bettman - A prominent software engineer that worked indirectly and directly for the Liberator movement and specifically the Hartford Liberators cell.
Arthur Wald

Arthur James Sullivan Wald was an American microbiologist and genetic engineer who worked with Michael Sisk in the 1990s.

## Early Life

Arthur Sullivan was born 15 January, 1958, in Oxford, Michigan, to a large and poor family. Sullivan was the youngest of five older siblings- Mary, born 1947, Robert, born 1949, Katherine, born 1951, Daniel, born 1954, and Emilia, born 1956. Sullivan's father, Johnathan, was born around 1926 in a farming family, but joined the Marine Corps in 1944 and was deployed to the Pacific to fight the Japanese. He served in the Battle of Iwo Jima, and at some point, killed an enemy officer and obtained a katana that he kept as a war trophy. After being discharged in 1946, Sullivan married and moved to Oxford, Michigan, in hopes of better career opportunities.

Arthur Sullivan grew to despise his family. He resented the conservative culture his parents and siblings forced onto him, and found himself constantly clashing with them. His father held Arthur and his brothers to a high standard, and Arthur's brothers, much older than him, helped make sure that standard was seen in Arthur. Hunting, physical prowess, fighting, and hard labor were all emphasized in the household above all else. The patriarch believed fighting to the top was the only way to succeed. Arthur hated this. From a very young age, Arthur was forced to work in his fathers' automotive factory. Despite the harsh work, he first gained an appreciation for engineering and mechanics from this.

While in elementary school, the Space Race was in full swing, which heavily inspired Arthur. He excelled in his classes with little studying, and in Middle School, took a keen interest in chemistry, fueled by a supportive science teacher. However, his father discovered his interest and destroyed his notes, artwork, and books. Arthur never forgave his father for this. In 1969, Arthur's oldest brother Robert, was killed in Vietnam. Once Arthur was in 9th grade, Arthur abandoned his home in the middle of the night. He stole his father's katana from the fireplace mantel, and took a Springfield 30-06 rifle as well.

After wandering for a few years, Wald found himself in Massachusetts. He was forced to attain a GED rather than a proper diploma, which didn't put him on the radar for any prestigious universities. He worked as a machinist while attending a community college, and later worked as an arborist, where he gained an appreciation for biology. After acquiring his bachelors with above-average grades, he piqued the interest of an MIT professor who helped him gain a scholarship. He attained his Doctorate in Biochemistry, and his thesis statement became well known among his peers.
Albert Bettman

Albert Bettman was an American programmer, hacker, and software specialist. A junior software engineer prior to the Great Collapse, Bettman would later go on to be an independent software specialist and contractor within Seaboard's territory. In 2024, Bettman became affiliated with the Liberator movement, contributing anonymously to the cause using his expertise. He had a close circle of friends that helped contribute, and eventually, Bettman was reached out to by the Hartford Liberators. Though Bettman didn't reveal his connections to his other Liberator-aligned friends for reasons involving security and compartmentalization, they all worked together unintentionally on many projects.

During Operation Parable, while under heavy fire, Bettman was shot in his left hand, which severed his ring and pinkie fingers. To avoid suspicion, Bettman later chalked this up to an accident involving a paper shredder at home.
Todd Carson

Todd Carson was an American politician, businessman, and senator under the Republican party of the Appalachian Republic and subsequent Pennsylvania commonwealth of the Confederate States. Carson, while often being committed to bipartisanship, was also known for his excessive involvement in lobbying that netted him large amounts of wealth.
Eliza Bennett

Eliza Bennet was an intelligence officer and government agent who worked for the FBI prior to the Great Collapse and was enlisted into service under the Confederate States shortly after its inception. She later went on to have a lead position in the Confederacy's Security Bureau, being highly regarded for her complex analytics and investigative affairs into Seaboard throughout the Seaboard-American Civil War.

Shisheer Ghatak

Dr. Shisheer Ghatak was an Indian-born experimental doctor renowned for his work in genetics and cutting-edge medical research. His career in medicine led him to explore the frontiers of experimental treatments, particularly in gene therapy.

After the Great Collapse, Dr. Ghatak relocated to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, where he unorthodox medical procedures for high-paying clients, as well as conducting questionable medical experiments. In 2024, Ghatak was enlisted by Seaboard authorities to conduct a medical procedure on Abel Clark, using technology they developed, to restore functionality to his nervous system.

Kaylee Schaffer

Kaylee Schaffer was an American musician known for her experiences during the Seaboard-American war. From a lower-class family in Concord, new Hampshire, Schaffer was exposed to the post-Jinan world and the death of much of her family before adulthood. After she and her boyfriend fled New Hampshire amid Seaboard's occupation in 2021, the two integrated into the rail clan and became essential members of the group.

Schaffer is noted for her tattoos. She has a heart on her ankle, and multiple stick-and-poke tattoos on her hand. Of these include musical notes, another heart, among others. On her right forearm is a phrase she got inscribed as a teen saying "eat, exist, die".
Thomas Brant

Thomas Jones Brant was an American security specialist, former soldier, and following the Great Collapse, a Security Analyst for Seaboard. Brant was lesser known for his more important role as a Liberator leader, proving invaluable to a sect of militant rebels based out of Connecticut.

## Early Career and Work with Seaboard

From San Diego, California, Brant joined the US Army when he was eighteen. After four years of service, he was able to attend university from a military education relief program. Brant gained an interest in corporate security, and was hired by a company in the Northeastern United States where he worked until the Great Collapse. Following Seaboard's rise to power, officials from the new territory found and recruited Thomas Brant after determining he was aligned with their core ideologies.

Though definitively effective in his role as a Security Analyst, Brant began to see what he considered serious administrative issues in Seaboard's hierarchy. Though he clung to his position and the benefits it gave, he began to stay blind to specific security threats, even taking measures to eliminate chances of their discovery. Notably, he followed up and built a case on Haley Porter and a group she led. The team subscribed to the Liberator's ideology, one that Brant, at the time, was only vaguely familiar with.

## Involvement with the Liberators

In late 2021, Brant confronted Porter. The two came to an agreement that as long as Porter worked using Brant's guidance and inside information, he would do what he could to assure she would remain undetected. Unknown to Brant at the time, Jonathan Sisk, the Vice Chairman, had already begun influencing the routing resources and supplies into vulnerable areas prone to attack from fringe rebel groups. Brant built a personal case file on the Chairman's son, but never released the information or confronted Sisk about it. He believed that whether or not Sisk was actively aiding the liberators, staying oblivious to it was key to the Liberator's compartmentalization and thus their success.

Brant became more involved with the Liberator movement, and served as a de facto leader for the growing militant rebels based out of Connecticut. He began to oversee risks within the unit itself, and used his position within Seaboard to benefit their cause.
Harrisburg Committee

Flag of the Harrisburg Committee

Flag of Pennsylvania

Flag of the United States

The Harrisburg Committee was a territorial collective based in the state of Pennsylvania. It was formed shortly after the collapse of the Federal Government to reconcile for the lack of central power within the state of Pennsylvania.

Governor Edwin Parrish presided over the Committee from it's conception, until its collapse and the Governor's subsequent death. Under his administration, sufficient central power was lacking. Because over two-thirds of the military force of the state was either in New York or Ohio, relatively little defensive force was back at the Capital. This led to Seaboard cutting off and routing the Alpha Regiment (USMC) and Second Army Corps, effectively leaving the state with little defense when Seaboard General Sherman invaded. The Committee was largely disbanded after the First Battle of Harrisburg.

The Harrisburg Committee was one of the largest cooperative reunification efforts after the fall of the Federal Government. Governor Parrish, his secretaries, and military officers- notably Colonel Krauss, were instrumental and highly effective at binding the shattered counties back into one unit.

At its peak, the Harrisburg Committee had around 120 counties signed into the collective. These were mostly from Pennsylvania, while others from New York, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland were also present.

Two years after the dissolution of the Harrisburg Committee, the Appalachian Republic was formed following the Second Battle of Harrisburg.
Arnold McGrath

Chief General Arnold McGrath was an American military officer and political leader for the Confederate States of America.

## Involvement in Appalachian Affairs

Following the joint SAACC and Liberator mission known as Operation Parable, the SAACC team leadership came under scrutiny. McGrath, the Chief General of the Confederate Army and a four-star general, was informed of this event, including information on the Liberators, which was strongly opposed ideologically to the CSA. McGrath was critical of this involvement on top of Operation Parable's unauthorized nature. He promptly traveled to Harrisburg in order to meet Brian Burnett, the commander of the mission, and organize a military tribunal relating to his actions.
Thanaphol

Thanaphol (with no further designation) was a Thai aristocrat and investor. His father was an elite businessman in Thailand prior to the great collapse, who helped fund the Jinanvirus project- in return for helping overthrow the Thai government.

After a botched confrontation with Seaboard General Russel and his men when trying to reacquire Abel Clark, Thanaphol was involved in a shootout between Seaboard and Thai forces. He was subsequently shot in the back and killed by a Sentinel.

*"My life is full of sin, Sherman, I wasn't always the man I am now."*

Jorge Ramos was a Mexican wanderer and Newfound Buddhist follower who was responsible for forming and inspiring a large leftist rebellion as a martyr in Seaboard-Pennsylvania. Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Ramos and was involved in a minor cartel-scene in the years prior to the Great Collapse. He went on to be a well-disciplined spiritual student, even staying in Newfoundland, studying under Maurus Meaux.

A close friend of Kyle Wald, the two met in the west before travelling back to Pennsylvania together. Jorge Ramos thought highly of Wald, and often helped keep him under control and hold back from his aggressive outbursts. Upon traveling to Pennsylvania, Ramos met and became romantically involved with progressive Senator Daniel Pierce. During the final days in the Battle of Harrisburg, Jorge was tasked by Edwin Parrish to meet with Seaboard General Sherman out of desperation, due to his diplomacy. Due to his lack of fear of the General, Jorge was respected by Levi Sherman Frazer in an odd way.

Following the Seaboard occupation of Harrisburg, Ramos was under tight grips by General Sherman. The General even went as far as to consider Jorge his jester, as he was intrigued by his behavior- radically different than that of his own. All the while that was happening, Jorge Ramos was inspiring and leading the driving philosophical force behind a large group of self-proclaimed anarchist rebels.

Jorge was shot to death by General Sherman in a botched plan to steal informative data from Seaboard servers in the Harrisburg capitol.
Lloyd Chaz

Lloyd Chaz was an American Army officer and later in life a Major General for the Harrisburg Committee, a coalition of counties signed together in the region of Pennsylvania after the Great Collapse. Previously a high-ranking officer in the United States Army, Chaz took command and helped reform the Pennsylvania military and national guard, and attained the rank of Major General not long after. He commanded the Third Appalachian Army Corps.

A key officer in the Appalachian reconstruction, Chaz was renowned in being able to effectively organize and command units into ways that helped rebuild the integrity of the state. He later went on to form and lead the Third Appalachain Army Corps, which was responsible for westward reconstruction and expansion.

His expansion led to Cleveland, Ohio, and beyond in the south. However, due to Seaboard-backed Midwestern forces under Jared Coleman, Chaz was killed and the Army Corps destroyed in the Battle to Retake Cleveland.
Jared Coleman

Portrait of Coleman

Jared Coleman was an American lawyer and political leader. Coleman was a prominent attorney and the owner of a law firm centered in Detroit, Illinois. After the Great Collapse, he helped form the Great Lake States and served as its President until 2024. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Coleman lived in different midwestern regions his entire life. With the help of student loans, he went to law school, quickly rising to become a young but precocious defense attorney. Involved in political activism on the side, he later became a well known legal figure in Chicago.

In the years prior the outbreak of the Jinanvirus, Coleman was a lead defense attorney for Seaboard Technologies when government and class-action led lawsuits were filed against them. He was favored by Michael Sisk due to his ability to work cunningly within the system, amassing various powerful connections within the corporate and legal world. Coleman was well aware of Sisk's role in developing the Jinanvirus and his future ambitions. He used this knowledge to prepare himself and his children, including Paul Coleman.

During the Great Collapse, Coleman was promised a position of power within Illinois as soon as Seaboard forces took control of the state, which, according to Sisk, would be by 2020. After time passed, Coleman took matters into his own hands, moving to Detroit, where the Midwestern Reconstruction Coalition was centered. Early in 2019, Coleman began campaigning and building support by the citizens of Michigan. After a few months, he had helped form the Great Lake States, for which he proclaimed himself president.

The Great Lake States grew in size at a exponential rate, until hitting other organized territories like the Phoenix Union and Confederate States. Under Coleman's leadership, the territories had from ten to twelve prior US states within its leadership, until the Midwestern Civil War was started due to power struggles within the states. At his height, Coleman controlled Michigan, Illinois, India, Wisconsin, and sections of Ohio, Kentucky, and Minnesota. The rest of the Midwest region formed the Midwest Coalition, a set of republics.

After defecting from service following the Second Battle of Harrisburg, Seaboard Brigadier Wei Zhi allied with Paul Coleman and took refuge in Detroit. Due to his own advances in leadership, there was a tense power struggle between the intelligent and charismatic Wei Zhi, who was an expert in strategy and militarism. In the spring of 2024, Wei Zhi successfully usurped Coleman's position, killing him without objection to the late President's top officials.
George Romano

George Romano was an American Navy veteran, business owner, and prominent political figure known for his involvement in Appalachian politics following the Great Collapse. After the Second Battle of Harrisburg, he served as the leading senator for the Nationalist Party in Appalachia. Romano was known for his aggressive leadership style, which he attributed to his military background. He was well-respected among his party followers, but many outside of the Nationalist Party saw him as being crude, misleading, or inflammatory.

Romano was born in a wealthy home in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on 15 March 1959. After attaining his bachelors degree, Romano joined the US Navy as an Ensign. He served in the Navy for over twenty years, seeing various conflicts beginning with the US Intervention in Lebanon in the 1980s. Romano retired as a Captain in 2004 after a rather prolific military career.

Following his retirement from the Navy, Romano started a company centered on financial study and business assistance. He saw moderate success in customers who reached out for help with their failing businesses. After a series of further investments, Romano became known as a rather savvy entrepreneur in Philadelphia. In 2016, he ran for city council and attained a seat as a Republican. He vowed to work with both sides to bring positive change.

Romano was viewed with mixed feelings from his constituents. Fearing he'd lose his position in a city that was becoming more democratic, Romano announced he wouldn't seek to stay in the council again in 2019 and instead was planning to run for State Representative. His plans were cut short by the outbreak of the Jinanvirus and subsequent Great Collapse. Romano caught the virus and almost died, and due to loved ones passing away from it, Romano began to harbor a deep hatred for Seaboard. In 2019, Romano reached out to Harrisburg on behalf of Philadelphia, and acted as a leading official for the city. While visiting Harrisburg for the first time since the Great Collapse, he first heard of the newly-formed Nationalist Party. He met Rick Lopez, their leader, who looked up to the more experienced Romano. Upon returning to Philadelphia, he became a de-facto representative, staying in Harrisburg frequently to see to it he could take care of Philadelphia however possible.

After the death of Governor Edwin Parrish following the Battle of Harrisburg, Romano went into hiding, knowing General Sherman would see him as a target. This was solidified when Seaboard troops caught Senator Rick Lopez and executed him under Seaboard's orders. Romano worked diligently within the state to aid intelligence efforts of the Appalachian resistance, as well as coordination within their members. After the city was taken back and the Appalachian Republic was formed, Romano was universally respected. He became the lead senator of the Nationalist Party, and nearly became the first President of the Appalachian Republic, losing by a tiny margin to Elaine Cocklin.
The Hudson Compromise

Territory following the compromise

The Hudson Compromise was a territorial agreement between Seaboard and the Confederate States of America which sought to demilitarize certain territorial zones between northern and southern New York. Mostly, the region was farmland, which was vital to supply in Seaboard territory. With the compromise, Albany became a joint territory, and any regions south were divided by the Hudson River, with Seaboard keeping its presence on the right.
Band Mifflin

Band Mifflin, or Clan Mifflin, is a loose group of close friends and family members, whose members congregated in Juniata, Pennsylvania.
