I was unfortunately not Born on the Bayou. Though I was raised on it. I'm heavily considering (read: probably will) submit a Gulf Coast-inspired region with a New Orleans-inspired capital. But only after I get the new map up (speaking of which, I'm still waiting on Agri and Pan to submit their shit, *HINT* *HINT* *HINT*).

Oh, another person waiting on Pan? Surprise, surprise. XD

But aren't you from Pennsylvania?

Also, I was indeed molded by it. I learned to drive a boat before I learned to drive a car. You can take the androgyne out of the bayou, but you can't take the bayou out of the androgyne.

Yeah, I sent him two TGs. One yesterday, and one today reemphasizing that I need it.

But hey! It's sort of similar! Except instead of marsh its mountains!

Anyways, just wanted to make a Bane joke

I only based them on MCIs for their similarity to C rats (I mean, they were close enough that they continued to be called C rats), and that they were meant to be eaten for longer periods, while also still fitting in with the tech setting (we can't have MRE's, after all). Also, I thought the MCIs also fit into the "forced army service sucks" bit, since they were still considered subpar in taste. I also figured most previous ration designs would've already been used by this point in the war, given its scale and length, so we'd mostly be seeing the current rations.

Well, maybe. Due to the fact that MCIs are slightly more expensive, it is doubtful they would have invested anymore cash onto improvements. I want a ration that is readily available in large quantity, and is small enough for an infantryman to carry enough C-Rations. A simple compromise is to add MCIs to 2nd class rations, since they are better quality but carrying a lot is the main issue with them.

Also Ayr. Put these in their respective places and delete the old Oorburg tab as it is kind of obselete.

An explanation of the Concile Seney will follow.

Wait. Precambrians are democratic and professional, Antediluvian are monarchist and concscripts.
