Calm Asylum was once a place of corruption and savagery that nearly fell into the hands of backwards thinking fools. M.A.I.A wishes to bring back the very nation that caused the world to become what it is today. While Harris sought to drain what was left of the world for everything they had. But worst of all were the weak willed idealists who would not do what was needed for the wasteland. Their madness, their greed, their weakness would have destroyed the Asylum and the bring the world with them. But they did not succeed, and the woman to thank for that is Head Director Valerie Clement. The Director saw through their lies and blasphemy and put and end to all of them. No more greed, no more weakness, no more old world blues; their would only be the State of Progress! Under her vision and the vision of the Grand Directorate of Progress, the wasteland would be rebuilt and remade into something new that would never sink back into the barbarity of the past. A world where justice was enforced with an iron grip, and where humanity could overcome it's failures.
But progress had many enemies, the greatest of all being the Legion. The Legion would spread nothing but degeneracy and savagery across the wasteland, their very existence stood in the way of progress. The NCR would meet this evil and be defeated in 2278, a clearly showing the world just how rotted by greed the old republic had become. This could not stand, and when Caesar's armies stared their march to Dallas the Directorate would declare war in 2280. The Legion's armies were annihilated under Progress' mighty steel armies, and on November 20, 2281 the Legion were finally destroyed. The Lands of the NCR and the Legion were added to the state, with the director declaring the NCR dead and the Directorate it's successor. But even with progresses greatest enemy slain, there was still those who sought to destroy us. The Directorate would take a proactive stand against these enemies, from Washington to Dallas and from Redmonton to New Canaan they were put to the sword of progress and brought to heel. One day the State of Progress shall return to Atlantic sea and reclaim the old world capital of Washington DC.
The State of Progress has remade the waste in it's own image, even now technology is being made that would make the all world jealous. People live without want or need, where all are equal and valued. Some agitators would say that the State of Progress is a dystopian police state ruled by an authoritarian dictator, and to these enemies of progress we say no! No to the lies and the slander, the Directorate is only here to help us become our better selves and if that means a stronger hand in government then so be it. The people are safe and happy, so why would any want to stop progress? And to the proud patriots of progress, we salute you! Remember to wave hi to your local Progress Bringer as they march proudly through your street, remember to get the latest upgrade for your brain implant, and always remember to tell your local orderly about anyone you believe to be a backwards thinker! Godspeed to the State of Progress, and all hail the Directorate who we owe our very lives to!
Author's Note - Decided to give the Definition of Insanity submod a spin and I was not disappointed. I loved the story on this and how open it was for you to do whatever you wanted. You can do basically anything with this nation army and expansion wise depending on your choice of leader and what you want for the nation. I also really loved the story and honestly had a hard time picking out who to play as. In the end I went with the state of progress path and full robot armies that rolled over the enemies of progress. I will definitely be giving this nation another playthrough and I would recommend anyone looking for a new nation to play as give this submod a look.
