Ok enough with this real politics.

Let get to the RUN type.

Do you people out there think that it is beneficial for Seattle to be
part of the UCAS. Do the taxes they take Seattle equal the total amount of
money that given to support them (including military support).

ie. Seattle takes in 10 bil Y a year in federal taxes (number from top
of head)
do they a get all that back in support like military and such
or do they get less?

What would happen to Seattle if it became a free state. Japan would want it.
Tir would want it. UCAS would want it. NAN would want it. Could they become a
true FREE CITY? would they be able to tax the megacorps?

How would the plethora of Shadowrunners be effected.
