Name: US Region 4 Gulf Coast Sea Steading
Founded: 2014
Facilities: Sea Steading facility Type 1 x4, Type 2 x12, Offshore wind generating facility, Aquaculture Farms x8, Oil & Natural Gas Derricks x 24, Boeing Sea Launch, Costa Fantastica, MV Marjorie, Accommodation Barges x28, Medical Barge x2, Offshore Crane ships x2, Wonder of the Seas, Assorted Lighters and fishing vessels
USNS Mercy, USS Alabama, AOE 2 & 6, AOR 4, CG x2, DDG x4, FFG x2, CVN-68, LHD-8, LSD-41, LPD-17, US Mobile Offshore Base #4, USS Mount Pegg, Assorted medium and short endurance Coast Guard vessels
History: By late 2013 it was determined that climate change from the solar maximum was causing extensive and rapid melting of the ice caps. The US Government initiated construction of Seasteadings for each of the DHS regions. Meanwhile the US military increased production of USNS ships and mobile offshore bases. By 2015 the water had already overlapped the lower coasts displacing millions of US citizens to FEMA camps.
This led to outbreaks of looting and rioting as well as work stoppages. President Obama ordered martial law and federal troops were sent in to quell the rioting and ensure work continued on the remaining steadings. By the end of the year tensions boiled over into a civil war. During 2016 the low lying middle of the country flooded separating east from west. Many refugees made it onto the steadings built for Regions 5, 6, and 7, however do to the ongoing resistance fighting the facilities were nearly completely destroyed before the military was able to establish a peace by removing the current government and allowing the states to elect a new government founded on the Constitution. The new government moved west with its capitol in Denver, Colorado.
Regions 8,9 and 10 remained above sea level while gaining some new inland lakes and seas and has become the breadbasket of the US. Regions 1-7 were mostly submerged with just an archipelago formed by the highest of the Appalachian mountains. It is estimated that 170 million Americans were killed due to the war, starvation, rapid inundation and disease.
By 2017 the Region IV steadings had annexed the remaining Region 6 steadings. Region IV is the most self efficient and productive steading as well as the most independent with most of its residents coming from the Gulf Coast and Southern states.
