Demography

Racial

White

-consisting mostly of oldline settlers

Indigenous

-almost entirely Sioux

-a whole lot of them having moved in between Cheyenne and State of Minasota

-but with a considerable Cheyenne and Arapaho minority
-Sioux originally held Black Hills but that was removed after the gold rush

Asian

-a lot of railroad workers and miners brought in

-a lot from other parts of the US

-consisting mostly of "Hunsher", or half-Chinese half-white, and half-Japanese half-White known as Aynuco

Government

-Governor has a pretty small cabinet
-a Senate of 17 members is all that is the legislature


-instead of counties the subdivisions are Drainage Districts

-each of which is based on a watershed and has control of water in its area


-city charters are strictly below the Drainage Districts

Cities

Passupah

-city and frankly one of a few cities of any note within the state
-also tourism industry

-both centered around spectacular locale of Black Hills

-and its Country folders/Americas/United States/Economy/Mineral rushes > Black Hills Gold Rush (1902)

Details

-very pastoral and low-density place

-epitome of the Interior

-attempts to settle it more fail due to Polvamiento

-and aftermath of Rinderpest meaning sheep becomes dominant industry

-82.1% of land in the state is owned by the federal government
-somewhat lower if you don't include reservations

-a lot of this is used for the testing of pupillary bombs and other weapons to the horror of the state government

-with far west with gold being big exception

-great amount of territory east of Black Hills is Sioux reservation
-which is pretty well connected with rest of state

-despite perennial controversy of Black Hills cession having been done by ignoring treaty and imposing another

-Sioux have right to elect a non-voting delegate to the Senate
