Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Missouri (section)

== Central Missouri ==

"Well Missouri wasn't hit much, but they hit it where it 
counted. Kansas City got freaking roasted, and St. Louie was hurt
pretty hard by a near miss. Bam. Two biggest population
centers. . .  hell, the ''only'' two major population centers were
wrecked, and then we took another nuke at Whiteman AFB. I 
guess those B-2's were just too tempt'n a target. Then after 
that, the fuckin' Guard just up and march off! Shit got kinda 
foul after that. Jefferson City got torn to shreds and lit on fire. 
Then all that fallout blew Northward, into the top half of the 
state and Iowa. And everyone just was wanting to get away 
from those maniacal bastards who where all rushing in on 
St. Louis from everywhere. A whole bunch of us decided that 
since there wasn't nothin' important in the center of the state, 
we'd probably wouldn't get nuked out there.

After a few hours driving down 44, we finally got to St. James 
and guess who we find. Some of the fuckin' Guard! I'm just about 
to rip their gorram heads off for leaving us, but then this local 
head honcho called Malcolm tells us that these guys are 
defectors from the 138th Infantry who thought they were needed 
here more. 

Lord bless those magnificent bastards of the 138th. 
Must've saved our lives a dozen times over.

It's been a few years since then, and lot's-o stuff has changed. 
We've built up a little haven here. The Central Missouri Confederacy 
is our little homemade government. We got 'bout two dozen 
communities spread from St. James, down 44, to Waynesville, as 
well as Lake Ozark, Iberia, and a few others. We got a nicely 
defended capital in Rolla where we can use the Experimental 
Reactor for power, at least until we can finish re-hooking the 
Bagnal Damn up to the grid. 

Oh! I almost forgot to mention: CMC's got a sweet deal with 
Parsons, Kansas. We give them 17% of our crops and they give us 
bullets from the Kansas Army Ammunition plant. Not a bad deal at all.


All in all, I think we're doin' okay out here.

...hell, at least we're better off than New Jersey."
