Autumn 2016

The season of Autumn 2016 was the final season of the first year of the sim, and fourth overall. There were 16 submissions, 2 more than for Summer.

Projects
North Dakota saw Bismarck grow into a boomtown, now creating tier two or higher cities in both provinces.

Colorado also saw a new boomtown, this time in Aspen. Along with this, the state integrated their corporations in with their government, effectively creating an oligarchic system of rule.

The small city of Bangor, Maine, home of Steven King, author of "Under the Dome," became a boomtown.

Ohio created a system of affordable higher education, so citizens can finally attend the prestigious Ohio State for a low price!

New Mexico built a new Catholic center for worship in Albuquerque. A man by the name of Saul Goodman is said to frequent the institution.

New York did a minor redistricting project to get rid of the border of Syracuse and Vermont.

Minnesota urbanized St. Cloud into another Major City, the third created this year. When Chief Saint Cloud was asked how he felt about the whole ordeal, he simply waved his knife around and shed a single tear.

Oregon oversaw Corporate Integration, and while part of the state was outraged, the other part was too busy being brainwashed by new Communist curriculum.

Spokane, Washington is now urbanized and a major city.

Kansas City, Missouri is now urbanized and a major city. Springfield and Jefferson City, also in Missouri, is now a boomtown as well.

Kansas also saw growing cities. Wichita was urbanized and Topeka became a boomtown.

Iowa saw two new boomtowns in Mason City and Davenport.

Legislation
Through multiple seasons of chipping away at the state's democratic systems, Minnesota has officially become the "Grand Papacy of Minnesota," with the Governor now becoming the "Pope." Citizens of New Mexico, however, are outraged, as they believe their government to be the head of Catholicism in the Americas. Mass migration of southern Catholics to Minnesota has been reported however, as with a large drop in happiness, once again because Minnesota is Protestant.

North Dakota reimagined public schooling within the state, integrating subjects and learning, as well as promoting schooling outside of the classroom.

A very momentous season in the Nevada legislature: all unions have been abolished, and marijuana production is now legalized. Pot-smoking kimono-wearing jobless hippies now wander the streets of Reno aimlessly.

Kansas passed a graduated income tax, becoming a social democracy.

The Cedar Rapids province in Iowa is now named Mason City, after the new boomtown there.

Diplomacy
New York has officially released a statement denying any connection to the Bio-terrorism attacks in Massachusetts.

Miscellaneous
Arizona "continued on as normal." Whatever that means.

New Mexico searched for, and discovered Area 51... In Nevada.

The giraffe is now the national animal of Nevada.
