In a few minutes, I will be mailing what I have written thus far on
Siberia. The meat of it is the history. I will post the introduction and
the history. The history is very long and that may be a problem. I may need
to go through and cut down the detail a knotch. Let me know what you think.

I will post the introduction and the history seperately. The history makes
use of square brackets [] in some places. Generally what is inside these
brackets are page references to Shadowrun books where some of the
information near the brackets came from. Sometimes the brackets contain
questions to myself. I used (>) for decker comments.

I need to complete other sections as well, but these will be nowhere near
as long as the history section. In particular, I need to finish:

1) The "Facts at a glance" section, with mention of gun laws, border
security, etc.

2) A section which gives a few paragraphs about each of the member nations.

3) (Maybe) A section on the prime movers in Siberia. A paragraph on the
current Prime Arc, one on the Catholic Church, etc.

A map of Siberia can be seen at:

Gurth, for the final version, I will put a zipped RTF or Word version up on
my ftp site. It will have an EPS version of the map in it.

I'm not sure if I have anything capable of reading EPS files... Apart from
that, RTF or Word is fine by me, but do post a text version of the final
article to the list for everyone to see.

What I meant was that I would give you a Word file with a EPS file already
embedded in it. I'm 99% sure that Word can handle that. Naturally, I'll
still post the text here.
