Some nitpicks on your app Feo: I don't know if you implying the admiral who got into power was someone active in the region before the Yellowstone eruption or who was a native. The Navy doesn't really have a presence up here, that'd be the coast guard.

I also don't know if you took it into account or are aware, but farming in the UP is pretty slight. It can be done, but it's going to have to built back up; farming is on the down-turn across the state and especially the UP. And a lot of land up there was devoted to timber (then the lumber companies died and the government bought up their land when they put it up for sale, thus all the national parks up there if you're to look), and mining (copper is big).

Otherwise you're good, and once acknowledged I'll let you by.
