They are concrete empire.

Really, TX would have fragmented before then.

With lots of people

California... ugh....

*correction* eastern and northern CA have agriculture. But it's highly dependent on key water irrigation systems.

They would be more likely to try to usper me and take control of everything instead of wanting to work together with me.

Entertainment doesn't matter much in military matters.

You hit entertainment centers only to send a message. Not to actually advance to victory.

Only reason I would lead is to rebuild what was lost.

Hell, sometimes you leave them around just to create a headache for the other side.

CA has a long coastline with loads of naval bases

We'll rule the waves

^ the advantage CA does have.

IF things are stable for us, I would try to send some people out to retrieve the constitution and bill of rights.

But the bases are the most important thing.

I would like to see United States reborn, that is the only symbolic thing I would do.

Other people want to lead to

@Dusty Morgan someone would have beaten you to that long before you even knew the nukes had fallen.

Free for all

Battle royal of the states

Well I wouldn't mind as long as they are willing to rebuild United States.

Jesus

Back to what our founding fathers wanted.

Imagine the US national animal

Realistically, the remnants of the army would have grabbed that stuff long before.

The phoenix

The national archives are considered key infrastructure.

If there is no leadership and I proved my worth, I might suggest the military place the national capital here.

Then make Oklahoma forward base.

Also, the fact you are thinking about it wuold mean someone would try and grab it to use as a power play.

Thus bringing them under control, with the leaders of the states being house of congress.

I dont think we want a millitary govt

and establish themselves as the true heirs to the country.

Yeah that what I was thinking/saying earlier, the us military and government had 60 years to plan for a nuclear war

I wouldn't think of myself as a heir.

I would want to rebuild the government.

@GingaBomber in a nuclear strike, it's assumed.

With a president, congress, house, and etc....

In the aftermath I mean

That would be in the late game.

Mark's got some rather romantic ideas of what it would all look like.
