[@Marquise] Yes! Once again, I won't be touching canon (mostly because on a second read of the books, it turns out my tastes have changed from when I was eight years old), but I always find that some sort of threat makes Nation RPs more likely to continue. So many times it is just player nations and nothing much happens until they peter out. You'll have the Anti-Traction factions moving in from the east, while great American behemoths arrive from the west. Fun!
