First off killing the elf, the way that is done is so simple. Look at
the rules for falling from a high place
and then shove the one H out of a aircraft while he is sleeping. Splat
no more Amoral IE to deal with. Everyone dies if they fall from 1000m :)
One of the major border changes is UCAS itself. An international boarder
in the middle on no place makes no sense to me. I live in that region we
have a wonderful natural boundary the Missouri river. This is also my
where UCAS boarder is. With the exception of Omaha and Kansas City which
are free city states. KC and Omaha have a substantial corp presence but
smuggling and mercenary outfits also call this area home and have
booming trade in the area. Most folks will hate this one Seattle is
nothing much it's a part of the NAN Salish-Shidhe to be exact. This also
makes them quite the economic power so actually Seattle is still a
decent place to run the shadows. The big corps do have stuff in the area
cut the size of corp assets by at least 50%. The all have major
facilites in San Diego Renraku decided to build the big stuff in San
Diego, the Azzie's followed suit etc. As that is the west coast port
city that the treaty of denver gave the to UCAS.
The reason I did this San Diego is has much better port facilities and
they would have fought long and hard to get them. Texas won back
everything to the old boarder and a little more They are also a maverick
free state who have a really good boarder patrol. They are some
obsessive folks and really wanted El Paso back and even got Roswell in
the deal. Because once again I used a river if you have figured it out
yet I'm pretty fond of natural boundaries. Tir Tairngire has a nice
expansion as well they got most of what used to be Idaho that river
thing yet again.
So that's my version of North America
