&&BRIEF
"The economies of these two regions are quite similar.  Regardless of South Carolina's current lead in the polls though, the 2:1 population advantage does favor an election victory by the North if it manages to be held."

&&NOTES
"Although seemingly amicable during the past few years, tensions in the Carolinas could soon mount as the date of the Unification vote draws closer (just over eight months from now).  South Carolina's paranoia regarding possible attack from Georgia proved unwarranted (since Georgia became distracted by the conflict between Tennessee and Alabama).  However that same fear may prove wise against a North Carolina leader who, although governing a region with twice as much a population, is currently trailing in the polls. ¶¶World Market hopes are that these regions will be able to peacefully unite, but that would be against the current trend.  As other regional leaders in the US have been on the verge of losing these so-called 'Unification Votes', they have instead opted to keep their political hopes alive through shotgun diplomacy rather than face an election loss."

&&EMAIL 01
"Now is not the time to panic regarding the polls.  We have a huge advantage in population and if we can just keep our economy under control we should have no trouble winning the upcoming election. ¶¶Although South Carolina (even with their population disadvantage) does have a similar military capacity; it is quite unlikely that they would try to make any moves against us.  The safest play by far will be to invest heavily in our economy and win the election legitimately."

&&EMAIL 02
"So far you have benefited in the polls through your status as the popular underdog.  Don't expect that to continue!  We have the North's attention now and they will likely invest heavily in their social programs to regain the support they have lost. ¶¶If as predicted, the polls start showing a rebound in popularity by the North, you might want to give some thought to other alternatives.  Although the North may resort to military action if they're still trailing in the polls as the election draws near, it is assumed that you will respect whatever outcome transpires.  The last thing the North expects would be a military attempt to capture their territory...  I'm not suggesting that's what you should do, but it is something to think about."

&&DESIGNERNOTES
"MILITARY DIFFICULTY : Easy - Moderate¶ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY : Easy - Moderate¶SCENARIO LENGTH : Short¶¶This mission provides an opportunity to play either diplomatically or militarily.  If you are able to achieve an alliance with your neighbor, then focus your efforts on your Domestic Approval Rating and your economy.  Hint: To provide the funds needed to improve social spending, cut military production.¶¶If you are unable to acheive an alliance and decide to go the military route, make sure it is a quick campaign.  The World Market will definitely penalize any agressor here.¶¶Scenario Editor : David Thompson"
