OOC: All right, when I have full Internet access back, I will post in this thread the very start of the chaos that breaks apart the U.S. into the little nations we have now. Please do NOT RP in this thread until I have had a chance to put in that first post. My North American country, Goreprime Enterprises is very integral to the plot... its fascist, technocratic ideals will most likely be the reason everyone broke away from the U.S. Also, once this thread is appropriately active like I intend it to be, I'd like to request it be stickied. |

All right.... it's that tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime....... IC: "This is CNN with Dan Ralph..." The screen shows a mustached man behind a desk looking directly at the camera. "Good evening, America. Today is a celebration in Washington, D.C. as President Bush announces the recent victory over international terrorism. The entire Administration is with him on this proud day to make the announcement on the war's status. We now join you live with President Bush's speech...." The screen turns to the image of President George W. Bush standing behind his podium in front of the White House as usual. Standing around him are Vice-President Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Secret Service Agents, and others. "My fellow Americans. International terrorism is at an all time low and we have our military's efforts and your support to thank for it all. Although we found no weapons of destruction in eastern United Elias, I'd like to think of the operation as a complete success! But our crusade against those who would try to destroy us is far from over. "There remain several terrorist nations still threatening the principles of freedom and democracy. Nations such as Sistan, Scythirus, and the Trilateral Commission still threaten the free world. We will deal with them in due time. I know my detractors claim I am cutting back freedoms in our fine country, but nothing could be further from the truths. Such misunderstanderating by peoples will be proven wrong. If you are not a terrorist, you have nothing to fear from the Patriot Act. "Furthermore, we are currently sending negotiations to Wadj to aid them in their time of crisis against Scythirus. We believe that their sovereignty has been... Wait, what's that flas--" *Sssssshhhhhhttttttt.* Several moments pass as the connection with U.S. President Bush's speech is interrupted by a mysterious event. Suddenly reports of telephone calls with Washington, D.C. being spontaneously cut off hit the news offices. Reports also detail that no one can reach the U.S. capital by phone. Then the horrible mystery is revealed 15 minutes after the broadcasted Presidential Speech. Dan Ralph had to be the one to break the news. "This is a great tragedy for America... a truly great tragedy. Earlier you saw the President giving his speech on the state of the war against terrorism before it was mysteriously interrupted by some manner of event. Now we know the horrifying truth... surrounding areas of the U.S. capital have reported a great mushroom cloud flaring over the city. It has been confirmed that Washington, D.C. has fallen victim of a nuclear strike. "Emergency power has been granted to the 'Shadow Government' stationed in Mt. Weather, Virginia, serving the purpose it was created for. Mt. Weather has made its first emergency decision and has declared a state of Martial Law throughout the U.S. to keep the general populace from entering a panic." |

Governor Doyle was the first to speak regarding the declaration of Marshal Law: "....tragedy in our nation's capital. However, it is totally unnecessary for our federal friends to declare Marshal Law while all state governments are up and running. Here in Wisconsin all services continue to function, our national guard has been put on full alert, and our people, though concerned, are resolved to not let this horror interfere with their daily lives. Therefore, we will not follow the reccommendation of the federal government, and will not impose Marshal Law in our State......" |

"...Governor Schwarzenegger has committed suicide. We are not at all sure exactly how the events in Washington D.C. are unfolding, but Governor Gray of Arizona has called a meeting of what he called a "Coalition of Western States" together. California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. Rumor has it that there is talk of Secession in the South, and that Canada will soon splinter as well. Furthermore, with the economy of the entire United States ruined by the Trilateral Commission and the Norightsian Mafia, it is doubtful that the "Shadow Government" can keep the states under control. More at eleven..." |

"The Mount Weather complex in Virginia has made a declarative order that all states of the Union must accept the Martial Law, as it's suspected that terrorist cells are planning more attacks in the future in other regions of the country. To ensure the order of Martial Law is carried out, Mount Weather has deployed military units throughout the United States to maintain and see order is kept and weed out the other terrorist cells. Investigations have uncovered that a terrorist cell, smuggling three nuclear devices into Washington, D.C., resulted in our capital city's destruction. "To aid in the endeavors of tracking down possible terrorist cells, the Shadow Government has also agreed a contract with the new president's electronics and monitoring company, Goreprime Enterprises. The contract, they expect will be passed into law and require every U.S. citizen to be chipped in their wrist or forehead. The chips will be monitored by a computer network system humorously dubbed 'The Beast.' "Meanwhile, throughout Virginia and Maryland, the mysterious spiritual leader Maitreya the World Teacher has been receiving praise for his efforts to comfort families who have lost loved ones in the destruction of Washington, D.C." |

In congress, those states who had attended David Gray's "meeting" spoke out. Representative Haartman of Oregon was the most vocal. "This is preposterous! They can't declare martial law! They are an unelected body with no authority granted to them by the people. We have been attacked by terrorists yet again, but this time the Republicans, or whoever else is behind the "Shadow Government", has gone too far. The American people will never consent to martial law. The state of Oregon calls for the impeachment of the Shadow Government!" |

"Damn it!" said Gov. Doyle of Wisconsin. "We can't impeach a government that doesn't exist. What the hell are they talking about out west." He sat in his office, listening to the news from the Los Angeles feed, when suddenly his door burst open. "Governor, I am General Roberts of the United States Army. I am here to relieve you of duty." "What?" Doyle was amazed. "I am the legally elected governor of the state of Wisconsin. You have no authority here." "It is my understanding you have refused to accept marshal law. You have no choice in this matter. The federal government is in control." "Now just one minute, General. We will not be chipped, branded, and herded like a bunch of cattle. Guards?" Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the governor slumped to the floor. "Everyone, back to work," said General Roberts. "Now, I want chipping centers set up in Milwaukee, Madison, Marquette, Auclaire........" |

OOC: Yes you did, right when I was logging in to reply too lol said it was deleted, good to see it was only moved :lol: IC: Deep in the South, state government representatives from North and South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee all gathered in Atlanta, the state congress building for a secret meeting. They had all received letters from an unknown sources urging them to meet claiming that they had to act soon with the recent events which had unfolded. Well, said the NC representative, anyone care to tell me who has called this meeting? Well, it certainly wasn't me said the Georgia rep. I am as in the dark as you. Just then several men, armed mind you, entered the congress room. Each of them were finely dressed in suites reminiscent of the old south with white sashes streaming across their suites. Gentlemen said one of then men, I thank you all for coming, I am sorry to keep you all in the dark, but these are different times and security was the major priority. As we are all aware, the capital is gone and with in the seat of power for this nation. One can only predict chaos and anarchy will soon gulf the nation unless people are willing to act soon. What are you proposing Mr. ? My name is of no importance, however my gift to you is. Gentlemen not too long ago this nation's government failed the people as it has now by acting without the people's consent. Back then the nation was young and people were willing to stand up for what they believe in and so a mighty confederacy was born. The Confederacy stood for ideals which all the South embraced, and was poised to live a long and healthy life. However, sadly though it was glorious, it's time just simply ran out and the Union overcame it. If this is just some history lecture said the Tennessee Rep. I could be else where doing more important things. Yes, you are right everyone knows the history of how the South fell. However, what they do not know is that though the South fell it did not die. Though defeated General Robert E. Lee swore that he would not allow the ideals of the Confederacy to die and so he commissioned several southern politicians to devise an elaborate new structure to the Confederacy, a manual if you will to reform a more powerful Confederacy should the Union ever fall. Well, deer representatives of the South, I believe we can safely say the Union has fallen. With that the gentlemen motion another man over. The man walked over to the table were the representatives were seated and places on it an old looking chest. As he set the chest down a cloud of dust errupted from the top of the chest. The man speaking then opened the chest and began to pass around very old looking documents to each of the representatives. In your hands dear representatives are the documents of that manual. Each are written in great detail and together they hold to secret to a new Confederacy's success. At now and I swear to you a new Seceded south will flourish and become more powerful than the old Confederacy could ever hope to be. |

Allen Kownnen was finishing his meeting with Quebec Lieutenant General Lise Thibault when the news of the declaration of martial law arrived. The Tea he had been drinking spat from his mouth. "What in the name of the Holy Lord Jesus Christ are they doing in America?" Lise was nothing like Kownnen: she was a socialist, he was a libertarian. Yet, she was just as enraged as he. "Les US...Mon Dieu. Ce gouvernement d'ombre a fait ceci. Je peux le sentir dans des mes os, rien d'un dieu il. Les USA sont juste allés au-dessus du bord, et le P.M. freaking va ne faire rien!" (Translation: The US...my God. This shadow government did this. I can feel it in my bones, god damn it. The US has just gone over the edge, and the freaking PM is going to do nothing!) Allen shook his head. "Lise, this is what I was telling you. We can't trust the socialists to do anything, we can't trust the fascists in America either. It's time Quebec leaves Canada. We must declare independence." "Vous... avez raison. Le Québec a souffert assez. Il est temps où nous finissons ceci. Que ferons-nous?" (Translation: You...are right. Quebec has suffered enough. It is time we end this. What will we do?) "I have a plan..." |

As the military marched across the nation of the U.S., Goreprime Enterprises began opening its seemingly insidious chipping centers throughout the nation. The contract was formally declared federal law and citizens were forcefully submitted to the will of the Beast, a cataloguing program that tracked and monitored everyone who was chipped.,Then suddenly came another wave of smaller terrorist attacks throughout the country. In major cities where the military had already curiously established control, buildings were bombed with devices of untraceable origin. Numerous citizens, primarily Catholics and Muslims, were apprehended, the military declaring them to be on lists of suspected terrorist lists. Over in the central focus of this seemingly fascist wave of the Shadow Government, the mysterious Maitreya was announced to be endorsing the acts carried out by the nation's new regime and government. "They have chosen the only correct and logical means to remedy the current situation," the Maitreya was reported stating. "These monsters, these... terrorists that are attacking the fine nation of America must be stopped at all costs. So I stand by the efforts of the Shadow Government and urge my followers to do the same and accept chipping. I will guide you spiritually through this tribulation." |

All across the "Western Coalition", militias began popping up. Thousands, millions refused to show up for chipping. The chipping center in downtown LA was bombed and Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base was assaulted by several militias at once. In Oregon, Representative Haartman sounded the first call for secession. "The people of Oregon will not submit to the tyranny of the "Shadow Govenment". We are Americans. Free Americans. We will not be oppressed. The state of Oregon hereby seceded from the United States of America." All over the state, soldiers were slaughtered by the militias. In the other three states, a clamor for a similiar stance arose. The die had been cast. The Union was dying. |

It was with the eruption of bombed chipping centers and slain U.S. troops by militias on America's west coast that the Pacific states were declared a stronghold of terrorist activity. A campaign suggested and signed into action by the mysterios new Shadow President whose identity and name still went unknown was begun to urge loyal U.S. citizens in aid to report the activity of their neighbors. Anyone caught removing their chip from underneath their skin was immediately detained in concentration camps that were being set up throughout the country like the chipping centers. Mostly these were Christians who believed the Book of Revelations about the Mark of the Beast. It was soon brought into federal law as part of this campaign that it was illegal to work and to buy and sell goods of any kind, even food. The terrorists, Mount Weather kept declaring, were not to be suffered lightly. |

OOC: The Anti-Christ cometh. IC: The American Embassy in Quebec has been firebombed by angry Canadians, Catholics, and Muslims in Canada's first act of senseless violence this century. Lise was sadly killed in these attacks while visiting the American Embassy. US soldiers who survived the attack opened fire on the protestors and then attacked random Canadians, taking a large portion of Quebec City. Canadian troops responded in kind and were killed. Stephen Harper has opened up negotiations with the US Shadow government, which is now threatening to invade unless Canada stop their attacks. Allen Kownnen is thoroughly pissed, as is most of Quebec's citizens. Allen Kownnen is leading an armed rebellion against the Canadian Government and the American Shadow Goverment. They have engaged US troops in Quebec and are taking heavy casualties. |

With the so called "New Intolerable Acts", outright rebellion occured. Arizona, then Nevada, and finally a reluctant California joined Oregon. Pitched battles with federal troops flared up all over the area. There was talk in Olympia of Washington joining in. The stage was set for a new Civil War. |

Outraged by the events of Canada, the mysterious Shadow Government regime of Mount Weather, Virgina sent what reinforcements it could spare to Quebec City and surrounding regions. It; however, agreed to send a delegate to negotiate a cease of hostilities between the U.S. and Canada, the U.S. was having enough troubles stabilizing its internal conditions and did not need a war with Canada as well. |

OOC:The Republic of Texas is back, baby!! IC: It was often said that Texas was always just one step away from secession, and it was proven as soon as martial law was declared. US Federal Agents that attempted to quell the secession in Texas were shot on sight. A large, angry mob of gun totin' Texans stormed the Capitol Building in Austin only to see the governor and the Texas House of Reps already declaring independence. Libertarian/Republican Congressman Ron Paul had written up a new Declaration of Independence as soon as martial law was declared and it was quickly signed by the other representatives. Texas was free and independent once more! The Republic of Texas would not stay that way for long however... |
