The majority of your state is afflicted, meaning that the non afflicted regions would still have a shortage by trying to feed the rest.

I am currently in the process of writing an app about a Kingdom in southern Texas. I've written half of it. Since apparently someone else has made a claim in Texas to be a Kingdom, should I bother to keep writing? I don't really have an interested in joining as some other government type (except for empire, but that is not an option probably).

Faction Name: Kingdom of Latinia
Faction Type: Kingdom
Flag (Optional):
([url=https://i.postimg.cc/Qx7xXNTQ/shutterstock-555211588-1.jpg]Image)[/url]
Governing Ideology: Feudalism
Leader(s): King Garcia Oñez
Territorial Claims:
Yellow territories in Texas - Capital is in coastal province:
Population: 5,800
Armed Population: 760
Technology Level: Metal Age Tech
History:
No one exactly knows how the Kingdom of Latinia came to be. Sacred texts talk about Jesus Christ appearing before Fernado Oñez and crowning him King. With the help of God, Fernado conquered the territory that now comprises the Kingdom. Other texts, which have been forbidden by the government, talk of Fernado as a petty gang member of one of the many gangs made up of survivors who left their enclave in search of loot, glory and thrill in the post-apocalyptic wastelands of Texas. Fernado, in this version, managed to rise through the ranks thanks to his wit and combat skills. He eventually formed a strong quasi-military force that enforced his rule over what is now Latinia.
Since then, four Kings have reigned the Kingdom, with Garcia Oñez being the current King. The name of the Kingdom came due to most of the inhabitants being of Latino origin and Spanish-speaking. The Kingdom has a feudal organization, with the King at the top along with his royal court, ministers and top bureaucrats. Aside from political figures, the court includes brave warriors and entertainers who have the ear of the King and can garner great influence. The court, all their servants and the common residents of the capital, all together about nine hundred people, reside in Nova Roma.
Below are the Duchies. Each Duchy rules over a fief of land that includes farm settlements and small villages, all together having about 200-500 inhabitants each. The Dukes rule as semi-autonomous rulers, their only obligations being to provide tax tribute and military levy to the royal court. Their mansions act as sort of Ducal capitals, hosting courts that are miniatures of the grand royal court of the capital.
Below are the Barons. Barons are nobles who answer directly to their Duke and who rule over a farm settlement or village. Baronies usually have 50 to 150 people. Barons don't have the resources or manpower to have a court of their own, but they usually are assisted by a council of five or six minister. They have great autonomy, as long as they provide their Duke with tax and levy.
The Church of the Kingdom is the 'Catholic Church of Latinia'. The Church owns chapels along with the land around those chapels; in some cases, this means that some small farms fall under the jurisdiction of the Church and pay their tax on the Church instead of some Baron. The Church is an autonomous organization, answering not to the local Baron or Duke but to the Pope, who resides in Nova Roma. In turn, he answers to the King. The Church is exempt from taxation and reigns supreme over spiritual matters but stays out of political affairs.
Culture:
The Kingdom has a Latino majority, is Spanish-speaking and Catholic. Culture in Latinia can be divided between the high culture of the elites and the lower culture of the broad masses:
Dukes generally engage in a martial culture, organizing grand hunts and holding tournaments during which they duel for the glory of their house. They are also expected from an early to age to learn from memory the Bible and to have developed skills in calligraphy and poem writing. Quite often, Dukes or their sons engage in poetry contests, which are every bit as prestigious as martial competitions. The ideal Duke is one who is a 'Warrior-Scholar', equally skilled with the sword as he is with the pen.
Aristocratic women tend to have more freedoms than their common-folk counterparts, being allowed to study and engage in various poetry contests just like their men. However, they cannot hold offices of government nor become members of the military. An exception is when they act as regents for minor Dukes.
The common-folk rarely have any education aside from some basic reading and writing skills. Most of the population is agrarian, living off the land. Men and women both work in the farms, but women are expected to be subservient to their husband and to obey him. They are also the ones who largely undertake the growing-up of the children. Nova Roma is the only truly urban center in the Kingdom, with many of the inhabitants being traders or technicians of some sort. The inhabitants of the capital tend to live more comfortably and to be better educated (though nowhere as educated or comfortable as the aristocratic class) and tend to look down on provincials. In turn, many provincials look down on the 'softies' of Nova Roma.
The Church plays an important role in society, undertaking rudimentary welfare (such as handing food to the poorest and treating injured or sick people) as well as spiritual services with sermons. Catholic morality is imposed on society. Priests tend to be more well-educated than the average folk but still less educated than the aristocrats (except for the priests in the capital). They are respected by society and violence against them is highly condemned. The Church is currently led by Pope Hadrian II.

Hate to break it to you, but you're 'coast' is the Rio Grande. While it's large enough for steamboats, it's not quite open water.

Territorial Claims: Albany (capital), Schoharie, Renssenlauer, Columbia, Greene, NY)
Population: 10,000

Technology Level: Post Collapse
History: Sometime during the Collapse, Adrian Konigg, Governor of New York declared Independence from the United States of America, and proclaimed the Republic of New York (2025 AD - 2047 AD). He managed to win all of New York to his side, save New York City itself. The newly proclaimed President Adrian Konigg (ruled: 2025 AD - 2043 AD) sent his National Guard up against New York City, however, they were defeated by the inhabitants of the Big Apple, at the Battle of Yonkers (2027 AD). After this, a ceasefire was agreed, because President Konigg had to send his forces North, to defend against a massive incursion of Canadians fleeing across the border into the newly founded Republic of New York. Unable to stem the tide, President Konigg agreed to allow the Canadian refugees to settle in the north of the State. President Adrian Konigg ruled until his death, in 2043, at the age of 79.
In 2043, with the President’s death, a National Election was called, and Adrian’s son and former Vice President, Alexander Konigg was elected President (ruled: 2043 AD - 2047 AD, 2048 AD - 2085 AD). In the 4th year of his term, the National Assembly (the former State Assembly) demanded that Alexander stand for Election, and allow an opponent to run. President Alexander has the Assembly members arrested and declared that he would rule for life like his father. This led to uprisings throughout the Republic, with the exception of the capital at Albany and some of the surrounding counties. The rebels attempted to besiege Albany, however, they were defeated by those forces loyal to Alexander. After this victory, on Christmas Day, 2047, Alexander declared the abolition of the Republic and proclaimed himself King of New York. The Throne has passed through several generations down to the current Monarch, King Arthur II Konigg.
Culture: The majority of of New Yorkers are old stock Americans, of predominantly Anglo and Dutch stock, over the centuries, they have come to develop a strong belief in their Kingdom as being “chosen of God”, and referred to their King as “God’s Anointed”.
