American Crisis (OOC/PMT/North America/Dead)

[Apror]

Can we even interact with countries from other continents as like NPCs or something.

I don't believe so. It hasn't been clarified.

Assuming a 1.081% annual population growth rate, Texas has a population of 46,183,780 people.

Florida's population would have a population of more than 34 million.

Right, seems in place with online projections. Florida is separated from Texas by Alabama and Mississippi which means getting troops, supplies, and manpower from Florida to Texas is going to be a bit difficult. That leaves about 46 million Texans against 150 million of Mexico Plus whatever Latinos support Mexico.

Not really. You see, there is a limit to the number of people an economy can support and it is usually no more than 3% perform you start suffering economic consequences. Your draft base is 17-35 in most cases, which is also the majority of your prime workforce. You start drafting even small percentages of that, you start to see workforce shortages. Additionally, only about 20-30% of your population is draftable and most of those will end up washing out of recruit training due to the physical and psychological demands.

Additionally, the global economy is fucked, especially Mexico and Canada. The destruction of the US and the collapse of NAFTA, NATO, the UN and other such organizations likely resulted in MASSIVE wars across the globe. Europe vs Russia, Asia versus China, North Korea vs South Korea, India vs Pakistan, Arabs vs Israel, Saudi Arabia vs Iran. The world is likely much more chaotic and many countries have likely been destroyed, further harming the global economy. In 2064, the world is probably barely recovered.

Yep. Israel, The Middle East, much of Southeast Asia, Europe, and Central Asia has been royally fucked by nuclear, biological, chemical, and conventional weapons.

28 million 2017 estimate.

Assuming a 1.081% annual population growth rate, Texas has a population of 46,183,780 people.

Florida's population would have a population of more than 34 million.

Tbf, those are modern figures.

Society falling apart might have involved some serious casualties. Ditto war.

Aww, I wanted to buy Russian arms. Let's see what the conglomerate has in stock.

Texas is practically a country already. It would probably fare pretty well. Same with California. Most of the rest of the country is fucked.

You could always buy Texan arms! Oh wait, you guys don't like us. Nvm.

In saying my draft pool and labor manpower are larger than Texas' because I have a larger population.

Eh, not really. Texas is pretty inextricably linked in with the rest of the country; hell, even if it weren't a state, most of the entire world would go tits up if the U.S. economy and political system just collapsed. Between refugees stretching resources, reactions against the movement of refugees, political warfare, resource warfare, the loss of international trade... nobody is going to be sitting pretty with no major losses, even if we're talking about, say, Iceland. The world is just too interconnected these days.

I'm not talking AKs but tanks, aircraft. Especially ships. Time to make do.

[Pimps Inc]

Air defense weapons are also high on my list.

Blue Sky, of course, has tanks for sale. I've honestly considered putting together a bill of sale for the Conglomerate's wares. Maybe I'll do that if people start wanting to buy.

Actually, economically speaking, Texas is rather independent from the rest of the country. Sure the first 20 or 30 years are gonna be a bitch but overall Texas will do fairly well. By now if figure most of the world is starting to stabilize and trade is picking up again.

How will Texas handle all the refugees from less fortunate states swarming across their borders looking for a slice of that relative prosperity?

Probably with rifles and 12 gauge shotguns.

Not anymore. Texas had several US military units to start with and Mexico's military doesn't really have anything special or up to date. Texas has a clear technological edge over Mexico.

Then there's our Robot Soldiers, not including the Mechas who are for Special occasions. I'm going to address them next post.

That's a good way to get everybody else trying to kill you, and a civil war to boot
