&&BRIEF
"A reunification vote is scheduled for four years from the start of the scenario, but before that happens you'll have to survive Regional Elections; this makes your Domestic Approval Rating quite important.  California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado and Texas seem to be controlled by aggressive leaders - so war may be inevitable."

&&NOTES
"Unite the States...¶¶You are faced with the immense challenge of trying to Unite the States under your leadership.  Although a reunification vote has been scheduled for four years from now, it is anticipated that the surest way to victory will be through military action.¶¶Tensions are very high between all of the regions, but Texas and California seem to be leaning the most strongly towards the use of intimidation and force to accomplish their ambitious goals.  The World Market is watching with very keen interest how things will play out and while they may provide some assistance, they are more likely to penalize leadership that is too aggressive with economic boycotts and possible expulsion.  Concentrate on surviving your own Regional Election and then turn your attention outward."

"Although we have a significant military force under our control, it does not begin to compare to that of Texas, California, and some of the other regions.

"We must be very careful of our southern neighbors.

"Regardless of the conflicts that might occur among the former US States, our immediate neighbors (California and Texas) still pose a significant threat to our sovereignty and can field a superior military force.  We must take steps to fortify our borders, build up and modernize our military, and explore potential Diplomatic alternatives.¶¶Our Carribean and Central American neighbors are not considered a significant threat, but either's leader could try and surprise us (both are considered slightly irrational).  Also, it is likely that one of the former US States will try and usurp control of the Panama Canal from Central America, so we can expect some activity there."

&&EMAIL 29 - Central America
"Our position is quite dangerous.  We can assume that at least one of the former US States will try and wrestle control of the Panama Canal from us.

&&EMAIL 30 - Caribbean
"Fortunately it is unlikely that any of the former US States will worry about us when they have more immediate threats closer to home.  That said, we must be aware that the forces of any one of the regions are quite significant and could easily threaten our sovereignty if they so choose.¶¶In the meantime, we should try and foster Diplomatic Relations with any willing partners, paricularly Canada, Mexico, and Central America.  And if we can build relationships with any of the former US States, then that could significantly help us modernize our armed forces and enable us to protect ourselves more effectively."

&&EMAIL 32 - Western Fed
"The Nationalists are continuing to gain momentum!  They have now signed an alliance with both New York and the Carolinas, and this will likely lead to other regions falling into line with them.  Even though a State of War technically exists between us and them, to this point there has been no direct contact between our regions --- that has to change.  If we want to emerge as the leader, a decisive military action is needed! ¶¶Our military strategists have developed a plan that would, if successful, end the conflict relatively painlessly and not put our own population in jeopardy.  Unfortunately it's relatively high risk and some of the pessimists in your cabinet don't think it has much chance of success.  Essentially we must take a task force through the Panama Canal and attempt a naval landing as close to Washington DC as possible.  If we can take the capital and demonstrate your presence there to the rest of the regions then we can count on them falling into line behind your leadership.¶¶Summary: Get Command Vehicle currently located in Sacramentoto to Washington DC."

&&DESIGNERNOTES
"MILITARY DIFFICULTY : Moderate - Hard¶ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY : Moderate¶SCENARIO LENGTH : Long - Marathon¶¶This scenario probably best exemplifies the need to mix both diplomatic and military efforts without neglecting either.  Most of the regions are strong enough economically that they can support a significant military, but if you have too many enemies at the same time, you will likely be overwhelmed.  Each region will also have to endure an internal election, so unless you want to be force to convert your government to a military dictatorship, don't neglect your social policies and spending (at least not until after the election).¶¶As Lead Designer, this is my favorite scenario to play - especially in Multi-Player.  It's got something for everyone and is a lot of fun, especially when the declarations of war start falling like dominos!¶¶Scenario Editor : David Thompson"
