CELTICEMPIRE may be a Kansas voter. But he is only one of hundreds of thousands.
Historically, Lumine used in-game results as an influence, along with campaigning, for NPC elections.
In February 2022, >90% of Kansans voted Patriot --> Federalist for President.
In October 2021, >90% of Kansans voted Federalist for President.
In June 2021, >90% of Kansans voted Federalist for President.
Furthermore, for a long time, tmth, a pro-Southern rule Kansas native was the guiding voice in Kansas and called for Kansas to remain Southern when the issue presented itself in the past. I have to doubt that the people of Kansas would be encouraged to support joining a region that invaded them while the Southern government carried out no hostilities toward our own people.
The federal government rebuked the pro-Southern DA government of Kansas, denouncing those calling for peace, encouraging Southern radicals to carry out violence against sitting officeholders--something that should never have happened and which I, as a Southerner, denounce as totally wrong.
(The federal government and the Fremont government have been ruthless in their aim to rip Kansas from Southern authority. I would not be surprised if they killed one of their own supporters in a false flag operation.)
The Southern radicals are responsible for their own actions. SOUTHERNERS are the only ones who have killed civilians and engaged in terrorism in this conflict. Fremont wants Peace, Law, and Order.
