It looks like my request for a secret societies/agendas book is going to be answered sooner than I thought, through the Conspiracy Theories book - thanks guys :) It does sound logical, after all the conspiracy stuff in the Dawn of the Artifacts series, though.

But this is Shadowrun at its best, keep it up!

Something occurred to me while reading the UCAS entry in the Sixth World Almanac.  Regarding the list of states that comprise the UCAS: why aren't there any Canadian states listed, or were they absorbed by the US states that bordered them?

Yeah Shadows of Africa gets my vote...

Who else wants this book post up and let the head guys know.

BTW, the middle east is already covered in shadows of Asia.

I'm not sure why they aren't listed, but they still exist as independent states. In fact the current Vice President was the governor of Ontario.

Well according to the Sixth world map, Newfoundland is now part of Quebec.

Labrador is part of Quebec, I've seen.  But not the Island of Newfoundland...

Might have to pull out my 6th World Almanac again...

Like half the UCAS states are technically Commonwealths. We ain't care about technical terms.

Still, the fact that there aren't anything Canadian listed in the UCAS entry makes me wonder if President Colloton (who's the current President of the UCAS as of 2073?) is troubling....

Toronto is mentioned on page 195.

However, you shouldn't read too much into it. 6WA doesn't exactly have the best reputation for QA among SR books. NAGNA indicates that there are five former provinces became states. That list did not include PEI because Dunk bought it sometime between 2019 and 2030. It would later become a part of the UCAS again, though it's up to interpretation as to whether it was a part of the UCAS and just not a state, or in a soveriegn No Man's Land. However, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have always been states.

Newfoundland was annexed by Maine in 2019 (NAGNA, 65). Here is the list of UCAS states and territories that I compiled to determine the size of the Senate in Conspiracy Theories.

[spoiler]
  • Kansas (including Oklahoma)
  • Nebraska
  • South Dakota
  • North Dakota
  • Minnesota
  • Wisconsin
  • Iowa
  • North Missouri
  • Illinois
  • Michigan
  • Indiana
  • Ohio
  • Kentucky
  • West Virginia
  • North Virginia
  • Maryland
  • Delaware
  • Pennsylvania
  • New York
  • New Jersey
  • Connecticut
  • Rhode Island
  • Massachusetts
  • Vermont
  • New Hampshire
  • Maine (including Newfoundland)
  • Saskatchewan
  • Manitoba
  • Ontario
  • Nova Scotia
  • New Brunswick
  • Prince Edward Island (I haven't decided if it's a part of Nova Scotia or a special district, but it doesn't have representation in Congress)
  • Seattle Metroplex
  • Federal District of Columbia
[/spoiler]


Yeah Shadows of Africa gets my vote...

Who else wants this book post up and let the head guys know.

I can assure you that there is no one who wants better coverage of Africa than I do. However, a "Shadows of" anywhere book isn't going to happen.
