[K5pbem] Some comments on the Kazei 5 Timeline from an outside source

[Steve Kramer]

The current "split" in the U.S. is more urban/rural than anything else. 
However, the split in K5 results in large part from food shortages, 
ecological damage, and other maladies which lead to a drastic economic 
restructuring and might exacerbate a split along some different lines...so 
by and large you have free rein to come up with some creative means to 
break apart the U.S.

A more resurgent South in the 1960s - let's say that the Civil Rights 
Movement was still an ongoing concern until late in the 70s or early in 
the 80s, or that the American Party of George Wallace was able to continue 
as a viable force - could result in simmering Southern nationalism into 
the age of troubles that later struck North America.  Or a charismatic 
nationalist leader could rise late in the game and promote Southern 
interests.  Or, certain corporate interests centered in the South rekindle 
Confederate sympathies in order to harm sales of Northern products and 
deny them a foothold in their backyard.

Or you could use Price of Freedom combat rules...
