Kansas ... not just flat anymore!

Day 592, 11:16 • Published in USA USA

• by scrabman

Dear Citizens,

I am pleased to announce that on this 4th of July that Kansas will be the home of our third and newest Quality Five Hospital. This is a great accomplishment for our country and I am proud of those involved in producing the Hospital and those in Congress for appropriating its construction and placement.

At this time there is no need to move to Kansas unless you just like its flatness, its agriculture, and its stern but humble people. As most are aware, hospitals are the number one way to fight effectively and to raise your wellness at the same time. A Q5 Hospital lets you either fight an extra 5 times as opposed to no hospital, or raise your wellness by 40 points for free (fight for -10 then the hospital gives you +50, so a Net of +40). Or you could read my article that I pass around to explain the nature of hospitals.

I would like to also point out that Kansas borders nothing and nothing happens in Kansas. This is a good thing that will be more fully explained at a later time by your local Congressman. Furthermore ... watch out for tornadoes and girls with dogs name Toto.

Happy 4th of July!

scrabman - outgoing President of the eUSA

Morning Bastion

so if we are MI who is our congress person? 😛

Boomer Boris Day 592, 11:20

I'm assuming this is a result from the AHF?

GLaDOS Day 592, 11:20

*insert generic wizard of oz joke here*

Daniel Jacob Asher Day 592, 11:24

"fully explained at a later time". . . . . great. Can i have my tax dollars back?

Tormod Day 592, 11:25

WOOT! Corn! We could never afford to loose the corn.

Bearsfan30 Day 592, 11:25

WOO KANSAS

scrabman Day 592, 11:26

@Daniel ... these tax dollars were spent before you were even playing the game.

Sabotage75 Day 592, 11:29

Seems like I was right in my thinking with the proposal months ago.

Msuracer Day 592, 11:31

Sweet, another Q5 hospital. Congrats Kansas

1nterestingch4racter Day 592, 11:37

Wow, you finally got more Q5 hospitals than the eUK. How many more regions do you have sorry? 😃 Only joking congrats

Keegan Knoll Day 592, 11:37

I find absolutely no reason for choosing Kansas, and that annoys me.

Aatticus Draco Day 592, 11:39

Bravo! Bravo!
Encore! Encore!

Tormod Day 592, 11:40

@Keegan

Its to protect the corn

Aatticus Draco Day 592, 11:41

>@Keegan

Its to protect the corn
lol

John D. Rockefeller Day 592, 11:48

It is about time, but why Kansas, that only has like 100 citizens? Why not something with a more active population.

Boomer Boris Day 592, 11:51

They placed it it Kansas because they say it's the farthest inland state in the eUS.

Aatticus Draco Day 592, 11:52

>It is about time, but why Kansas, that only has like 100 citizens? Why not something with a more active population.
Zoli told 'em to put it there

Desertfalcon Day 592, 11:57

Kansas is more of a wheat and cattle state then corn producer

Sprout Day 592, 12:00

The USA invested heavily in liberating Greek iron. You should help fortify Central Greece instead of wasting a Q5 Hospital in the middle of nowhere. What a waste.

Charles Pepper Day 592, 12:00

Great; now when the zombies overrun NJ and Florida we can all fall back to Kansas and continue fighting.

Desertfalcon Day 592, 12:03

@ Sprout

this is the United State of America not the United States of Greece. Its not our tax payers job to fund everything for Greece.

loftedraptor Day 592, 12:05

Cool!

Quibish Day 592, 12:06

Why Kansas? Seriously... why?

Doofus Day 592, 12:14

I'm guessing Kansas being the furthest inland state would mean that if hypothetically we were to be attacked at Florida and New Jersey first, at the same time, and we were to lose both, then we would have a place guaranteed for almost a week of being able to live while facing the hypothetical attacks of PEACE. just my guess.

Quibish Day 592, 12:18

OK, I suppose that makes some sense. So, we don't need a strategic hospital reserve anymore right? So, the other hospital is going to be placed now? In California or New York... yes?

Joe DaSmoe Day 592, 12:20

Where is Zoli's seal of approval?

Congrats Kansas you are the eAlamo

Doofus Day 592, 12:22

Terrible analogy. the Alamo was LOST!

HiFAT Industries Day 592, 12:23

All you "why Kansas" people are idiots. Regions don't get Q5's because they have high populations, they get high populations because they have Q5's.

Churche Day 592, 12:26

Shoot me. Kansas holds little strategic value for the eUS and if anywhere the hospital should go to Hawaii or Alaska.

marquis.esoteric Day 592, 12:27

>All you "why Kansas" people are idiots. Regions don't get Q5's because they have high populations, they get high populations because they have Q5's.

Too true, plus we want at least one hospital in the middle of the country so if our peripheral states are somehow lost we can keep fighting on at full strength

Dethanos Trade Day 592, 12:38

"Terrible analogy. the Alamo was LOST!"

The Alamo held for 13 days against an overwhelming force. This provided Sam Houston with valuable time to assemble the army that would go on to defeat Santa Anna at San Jacinto. So, while the Alamo was lost, the defense of the Alamo helped to guarantee that the war was won.

Saltines Day 592, 12:50

its about time we need more q5 hospitals

gonzo23 Day 592, 12:54

US government should provide Q5 hospitals for all regions!

IMPEACHMENT NOW!

Perrin Day 592, 12:55

I'm sad it wasn't Texas but I get the reasoning. Good job.

Argent Nuro Day 592, 13:18

I love all the level 13 Napoleons gnashing their teeth.

Vincent Garibaldi Day 592, 13:25

If we are theoretically forced to hold out in Kansas, which is unlikely, we are probably screwed anyway. I would like to know why it's okay to put one in Kansas even though it obviously hurts our national security interests as so many people have pointed out in the DoE and zoli articles.

DISCLAIMER:
I saw the AHF mentioned in an earlier comment. As current Chairman of the AHF, I'd like to announce that the AHF has raised over 160 gold of the 250 gold needed for a Q5 hospital. We are in collaboration with a hospital broker who will provide us one for 250 rather than the 350-400 that has been typical in the past.

Sorry, not my intention to hijack the comment trail, just wanted to clarify that the AHF isn't associated with this Q5 placement.

Teucer Day 592, 14:14

Cool, always good to have a stronghold position to fall back to that doesn't border an enemy.

Jon Barack Bluejacket Day 592, 15:07

congratulations to Kansas.

In honor of this momentous occasion, I think the USNG should form a "Children of the Corn" platoon.

It would be based in Kansas, and no one with a RL age of over 18 would be allowed to join.

The Hungarians would be doomed.
