WARNING: *!!SPOILER ALERT!!*
I've been think how is NationStates related to Jeniffer Government? The book presents a highly congealed in which the USA is slowly “merging”with other countries and headed ultimately towards a united USA world, yet NationStates is a nation simulator which is about a lot of small nations around the world. So I came up with this hypothesis (which is probably wrong) on how JG and NS are related.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reading Jeniffer Government, I started thinking that maybe the NationStates world is what develops after the events of JG. Remember 2/3rds of the government's upper echelons were killed by the NRA attack on the 737 and that John Nike asked General Li “How much muscle can you get into the major cities in three days?” Which implies that battles like the one in LA were taking place all over the USA territories. The Government, already badly crippled, would be powerless to much of anything except try to mediate the dispute.
In this chaos it seems that small NationStates might arise all over the USA territories. Due to lack of any sort government control these small NationStates may arise to bring back peace and control to their areas and later evolve into fully functional independent nations.
At least this how I think that NS and JG are related, I could be utterly wrong.
