Nolan Trace was elected president in a special emergency election; legitimacy is disputed by several red-state governments.

Pro-CCD sentiment rising in multiple U.S. regions:

  • Riots erupting in southern coastal states demanding CCD integration.
  • Civil conflict growing between pro-CCD and pro-USA factions, with violence increasing in major population centers.

Economic collapse accelerating:

  • U.S. dollar near worthless along the CCD border zones.
  • CCD dollar is now used in unofficial markets, especially for food, medicine, and energy. The CCD dollars are digital currencies and shared either digitally or on cold-wallet cards.
  • Price instability, wage freezes, and private sector shutdowns spreading in the hardest hit areas.

Mass migration toward the CCD:

  • Thousands attempting to flee into Dominance 9 via Texas.
  • Borders are functionally closed; many are turned away or vanish in the buffer zones.
  • CCD citizens in the US are allowed to return, and sometimes forcibly deported.

Supply shortages worsening:

  • Severe scarcity of medical supplies, clean water, heating fuel, and basic utilities.
  • Major U.S. hospitals running on reduced capacity; some closing entirely in rural regions.

Energy crisis deepening:

  • Natural gas and oil from Texas now unavailable to U.S. markets.
  • CCD controls pipelines and ports along annexed territories.
  • Only Canada and Alaska still exporting fuel to the U.S., insufficient to meet winter demand.

National fragmentation ongoing:

  • Coastal ports are seizing fuel and trade resources for regional survival.
  • Midwest and inland states facing infrastructure collapse and rising death tolls from exposure and malnutrition.
