&&BRIEF
"New York City outnumbers both other regions in population, however economic shortages are taking their toll.  Central NY and Northern NY have a distinct resource advantage and also a tactical advantage due to NY City’s isolation and limited access to the mainland."

&&NOTES
"Due to the diverse economies, New York also decided to create economic sub-regions to better handle each region’s own special needs and concerns.  Unlike other states though, this did not lead to any increase in tensions between the three regions.  In fact, the separation of the three regions was largely credited for the speed of New York’s economic recovery and cooperation was maintained.  ¶¶The three regions agreed to a reunification vote and have scheduled it for nine montsh from now.  Shortly after the vote was called though, communities in the South Western tip of Connecticut voted to merge with Central New York, citing their common interests.   At the time it was thought that this could lead to conflict between the two states.  Instead, Connecticut chose to generally ignore the loss of some of its more upscale residential communities, but both New York City and Northern New York State criticized this move as nothing more than a ploy on Central New York’s part to bolster its chances in the upcoming vote.  Since then, tensions have grown and the spirit of cooperation has been lost.  It is now uncertain whether New York will be able to hold itself together until the vote can be held."

&&EMAIL 01
"Our popularity continues to decline due to the economic shortages we are experiencing.  We have been particularly affected by a constant power shortages.  We should either further develop our electrical production or take other steps to ensure an uninterrupted source. ¶¶We have conducted some research on how the population would react to a decisive move on Central NY.  If we could capture and hold Albany quickly it is expected that the remainder of the region would not have the will to fight.  Our vulnerability is in our access to the mainland.  We could expect that any movement on our part will result in Central NY attempting to destroy the bridges to Long Island and eliminating our ability to reinforce."

&&EMAIL 02
"Sources have reported that New York City is considering a military move against us.  Perhaps we should consider steps to preempt their plans.  If we destroy the northern bridges to Long Island that would eliminate their ability to launch a ground assault against us.  However it is uncertain how the World Market and Northern NY would react if we initiated the attack. ¶¶Perhaps the safest course for us would be to appear to be ignoring the situation but prepare for a counter-attack if NY City gets adventurous."

&&EMAIL 03
"Central NY and NY City definitely seem pre-occupied with each other at the moment.  It appears that the situation could lead to direct conflict between them. ¶¶We must be prepared to take advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves here.  Should NY City start getting the upper hand we may be forced to come to Central NY’s defense.  But keep in mind, that the smartest move may be to simply stay completely out of any conflict and let our Approval Rating benefit!"
