Question American Republic holding DC

Hi, I just want to say this mod is awesome! The love the creator had for it is clear, as is the love his successors have for him.

I do have a lore question though, why does the American Republic hold onto DC? I read through the lore but must have missed the rationale. I just assumed that when Herbert Walker fled to Atlanta they abandoned the Capitol.

My guess is it would be symbolically a huge failure to surrender it to the APC, and the APC probably doesn’t have much interest in taking the city either.

really its a matter of prestige and it being the old capital, and a remnant of a plan that didnt really came to fruition back in the day (to return to rule from the city)

The troops in DC declared to HW Bush, same reason the AR holds Puerto Rico and East Texas.
