Dark zone south of the 46th parallel. No faction enforcement presence. Prometheus League operational for eight years without opposition. Interior communities have been running independent water management that is more effective than the Compact's extraction-optimized approach.
Dark zone south of the 46th parallel. No faction enforcement presence. Prometheus League operational for eight years without opposition. Interior communities have been running independent water management that is more effective than the Compact's extraction-optimized approach. The Compact's aquifer crisis may make this the most important territory in the Southern Hemisphere.
South of the 46th parallel the wind is constant and the communities are sparse. The Prometheus League has been operating here for eight years without significant opposition — building the infrastructure for a genuinely functional post-technology governance system using the interior communities as proof of concept.
The interior communities have been managing aquifer recharge using methods developed outside faction technical frameworks. Those methods are working — more conservatively and more effectively than the Compact's extraction-optimized approach.
If the 40-year projection becomes public, the interior communities' water management knowledge becomes the most important thing in the Basin. The Prometheus League understands this. The Compact does not.
