California 100 years from now

[CatoMinor]

It is 2115 and California is recovering the the Great Quake of 2067. Between the largest earth quake in state history and a drought that is now over 100 years long, much of what was is lost. In the sound and central is a giant uninhabited desert where the remains of ghost cities are being reclaimed into nature. California is, as of the  2110 census, 37% Asian, 34% Hispanic, 16% Caucasian, 12% Black, and 1% Native American.

On the state level 4 parties compete for dominance.
The Liberal Party: A socially progressive, fiscally centrist party, formed from the ashes of the Democratic Party after they were eclipsed by the Green movement in the mid 21st century.

The Green Party: After years of drought and and natural disasters people began taking the Green Party seriously. In 2045 they won the Governor's office for the first time and from 2069-2083 held control of the state legislature.

The New Conservative Party: After years of repeated failures the California GOP disbanded in 2027 after receiving only 8% of the vote in the 2026 gubernatorial race. Soon filling the void to replace them were the People's Party and the Conservative Party. Agreeing that they were only hurting each other, they merged to form the moderate New Conservative Party.

Latino National Party: Founded as a tiny fringe party in the early 21st century, the LNP saw an explosion in growth following the Great Quake of 2067 after millions of Hispanics felt like they were ignored during the crisis. For the most part the party is centered around greater Hispanic representation, its more extreme factions advocate the complete Independence of SoCal.

Carlos Ho (NCP) - 30%
Anita Cartwell (GR) - 27%
