I'm sure they censored it as well.

Comics were banned for potraying supers in a postive light, I'm sure Manga would have been targeted for sinful content, super powers, escapism, and generally not fitting the steriotype of:

Thinking about it, they could have just turned comics into propaganda. Thankfully they are not in control anymore.

Censoring manga is gonna be as successful as banning alcohol. :p
It'd be ironic if one of the most mass-produced mangas in the RP world was Aki Sora. :lol:

I was poking fun at people who misspell the names of my character. Zues and Strum, instead of the proper Zeus and Sturm.

That would be up to you, since it is your character. If you don't mind I'd like to take him though.

I can try,

Cold Harbor became a hold out of resistance after the SLF (Super Liberation Front) overthrew the order. The leaders the city, the Oligarchs as they have come to be called, refused to step down from power forcing the SLF to remove them forcefully. For some reason the SLF decided to turn Cold Harbor into an experiment to see if Democracy, after decades of Tyrrany could survive. They held a single party election which brought Mayor Samuals into power. As a year passed and 2018 came into play factions in the government formed parties. The two major parties are the Whig and the Unity party.

The Order had in place several economic standings, regulations that were no more. Causing unions to rise in response to the free industry that has allowed companies from the days of the Order to do as they please. Under Mayor Samuals some moral legislation was enforces (ban on prostitution and gambling for example) though the economy remained untouched for the most part.

Cold Harbor has been trying either to join New America (Whig party) or to gain recognition as an independent state (everyone else). While an Envoy (Agent Strum) flew in from Franco-Germany to establish an embassy in the city the Town hall was attacked.

After the attack on the town hall, which devastated the government Samuals stepped down from office forcing the Unity and Whig party to put forward their candidates early.

---

Other factors in play are vigilantes (like Night Owl), integration of supers into society (dealing with the scars left by the Order's propaganda), education (or SLF propaganda if you like as, according the order which has ruled for years most of what the SLF says is true (like America) never happened), and a Genetic Database to make crime solving easier, and predict super powers.

It's the best I can think of to describe it at the moment.

I would suggest looking up Super Liberation Front, the Order, Cold Harbor, Unity Party, Whig Party, and the candidates on the wiki site. Viewing them together should give a clearer image of the situation.

The Order rose to political power in the 1800s, they technically first existed long before that.

According the Order the Order has always existed, and always will. It's true past is unknown as documents of a historical nature from the before times are either vaulted away or destroyed. It can be gathered by the state of the world that the Order began it's rise to power at least 200 years before the events of Book One: Dark Times.

I doubt they would wage war. When they are a occult organization. They simply wouldn't have the strength.
