<2021-03-10T11:01:41.000Z> TheBabadook: Yeah hopefully they just need to get it out of their system
<2021-03-10T11:01:50.000Z> TheBabadook: ....hopefully 
<2021-04-23T09:12:48.000Z> TheBabadook: Say Dean, in your book series does Texas also take Oklahoma and Louisiana? Or at least western Louisiana including New Orleans?
<2021-04-23T13:07:40.000Z> DeanBradleySFF: They buy some pieces of OK, LA, and NM on their way out the door, but not New Orleans (which is, iirc, eastern side). Basically just the portion to Shreveport and Lake Charles, up to Lawton, and NM they get white sands.
<2021-04-23T13:08:23.000Z> DeanBradleySFF: They're a food and energy exporter, so they buy up bits to contribute to that
<2021-04-24T04:38:42.000Z> TheBabadook: aha, I see
<2021-04-24T04:39:06.000Z> TheBabadook: does the Texas Republic have a navy to patrol the Gulf and protect their offshore oil interests too?
<2021-04-24T04:43:41.000Z> DeanBradleySFF: Powerful one. As exporters, they have major shipping interests to defend as well
<2021-04-24T04:44:30.000Z> DeanBradleySFF: More of the China model, ton of nuclear subs and destroyers / cruisers as opposed to carrier battle groups
