Statement from the Southern Alliance
The Enclave lays claim to the breadth of the entire United States - every post-apocalyptic hamlet, every hardworking scavenger town - all free nations - are the future territorial conquests of the Enclave's megalomaniacal fantasies.
In pursuit of their ambitious project of annexing the entire former United States, they have recruited the Reclamation Districts - the grunts of their empire. There is no means of becoming a Reclamation District for us bathed in radioactive original sin - we wastelanders are impure in the eyes of the Enclave, who envisions a future United States composed exclusively of vault descendants. They have an unachievable definition of humanity, and the descendants of everyone who was left to die in the Great War by the government the Enclave claims to inherit are the vermin to be eradicated.
We are not vermin! We are not mutants! Wasters are equal humans, as much as vault dwellers, and have the inalienable right to form their own governments - their own sovereign states. The Enclave has no right to our property and hard work!
The free nations of the Grand City of Orlando, Jacksonia, the New Gulf Commonwealth, and the Reclaimed Free Republic therefore assert the right of independent states to claim sovereignty from the former continental United States, and pledge to protect this right by force of arms.
Signed, Overseer Tiffany Jackson, Chancellor Norman de Paur
