[edit] which 21 states

what is the deal for Hawaii and Alaska are they part of the Allied States or independent or did the show forget about them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.112.121.29 (talk) 17:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Did the show ever confirm (via a map or dialog that Louisiana is with the western states? I know that they said all 21 states west of the Mississippi, but the 21st could be Alaska. Since Louisiana 1) straddles the river, 2) has always been closely allied with the rest of the southern gulf states, and 3) is east of Texas, I assumed it was with the eastern bloc. —MJBurrage^(T•C) 15:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

On another hand, Louisiana would be especially valuable to the ASA, as its only outlet to the Atlantic. —Tamfang (talk) 07:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

The map is almost certainly wrong. The show mentioned that Jennings and Rall is rebuilding the Alaskan pipeline. That pretty much puts Alaska in as one of the 21 ASA states. As I noted above—given the split the show suggests—Louisiana is much more likely to stay with the south rather than go with the west, especially if Texas is neutral.

That still leaves Hawaii an open question, and if Hawaii is an ASA state than which state west of the Mississippi (other than Texas and Louisiana) is not? —MJBurrage^(T•C) 21:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] the "original" USA

(I haven't seen any of the second season.) I'm a bit bothered that the Columbus regime is described here as the "original" USA. It has the "real" President, okay, but apart from that does it have any more institutional continuity than the ASA? —Tamfang (talk) 07:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
