Well, it seems like a safe bet. Political instability is extremely rare in emerging democratic states with revanchist ambitions
Don't worry. If it ever looks like The socdems will lose control to the communists, we'll just have to kill Rosa Luxembourg

No. In fact, we can continue even if the commonwealth as a whole no longer exists, either by joining someone who diploannexes is (say, an ascendant California) or iirc by playing another of the options, should we lose outright.

I like this title better, the other had, at a glance, seemed to say Burns was a Nazi (sure, it is at a glance, but that isn't the thing we want to project and I don't think Burns wants to think he is getting tarred and feathered by the President, that might have a number of issues right there that could complicate the quest...)
Umm, I'm like 50% confident that Poptart's mentioned or alluded to the idea that pretty much every single New Cap is farther left than Obama and quite a few are a little left of Warren, so dunno if this holds up.
, but I will freely confirm that a Reagan-style Republican would be pilloried by his (almost invariably, you'll notice, his) party in the modern day of the quest.
Considering that the main NC party is the remains of the Democrats this sounds about right. My Grandparents could hardly be called committed leftists (or leftists at all) but as longtime Democrats even they'd be happy spitting on Reagan's grave.I'm being a bit cagey about NC ideology, mostly out of sadism
Sara Goldblum:
To be fair, losing Detroit is not automatically losing the war, though we are going to need a crash program to build more warships and train more troops if we have to replace this army.
While we're talking about potential allies, I remember one particular screed Lind had against the urban, working class "white trash" who had been corrupted by modern degeneracy into being no better than blacks and Hispanics, and this manifested in Victoria as the Midwest collapsing into a bunch of punk rock barbarian warlords, which sounds kind of metal, and well, I know this Quest has sort of filed off the wackier parts of Lind's setting but I think there's still room for like, Juggalo warlords tearing around the ruins of western Pennsylvania.
Anyway, when we start pushing into the region I think it'd be worth finding out if any of these guys hate fascists as much as we do.
Do recall, the Russians are violently opposed to any power rising in the Americas that isn't their client or puppet. Plus, thanks to the wonders of TV tropes sparing me from having to read the actual book, we "know" that the Aztecs took power in Mexico after it's army was routed by the Texas National Guard*. So clearly, the Victorian narrative has Texas continuing to exist as a power, even as they work to break down anything that might develop into a legitimate successor state. Therefore, when a new power arises in the area (necessitating that they crush it), they have to come up with a reason to fear and hate everything in the general vicinity. Hence, the "existing" Republic of Texas getting "taken over" by "Cultural Marxists" in a "rigged election".Wait, which of these is the "our quest" version and which is the "Victoria Quest on 4chan" version?
Because I could see this part going either way?
If we do get absorbed, we could be the rebels!
