...didn't Asylum have California trying to secede from the United States? Which would be an entirely different scenario from Southern California trying to secede from Northern California. Maybe I have a faulty memory, I don't know.

Split California was the teaser. |n/t|

You forgot to put something in your answer to d:Into the vortex from an unhealthy height i.e. if the sliders had missed the vortex they would have gone splatter or died. You didn't even mention "This Slide of Paradise"! I mean, it was even proved what would happen if the sliders had jumped and missed, Rickman did just that! ~SPLAT~ No more Rickman. Not trying to sound rude, and of course, im probably wrong about this anyway. Thanks for not getting mad at me.

Even tho it's far to early in the morning for me to do anything. Yes, I know it's 10:30. Late night, okay?

1. The U.S Lost the Battle of Coral Sea and Japan invaded Australia - Oh not great. I can't remember. Summer of Love?

2. During troubles in the Middle East the Iraqis released a viral agent - Love Gods

3. During the Battle of California the Japanese landed in America launching an attack on Southern California - Exodus wasn't it?

4. Southern California is seceeding from North California - Um I'm stuck, so I'm saying Asylum even though I don't think it is.

5. Mexico invades and retakes portions of Southern California - Wasn't that what was happening in Roads Taken?

6. After a Swiss banking scandal that led to an international depression the U.S.A. sent in ground troops into the aforementioned country - Current Affair

7. On the verge of civil war the American government banned sporting events - Rules Of The Game

8. After the collapse of the Human Spirit Hemispheric League the Volsangs took control - Yer what? Was that Return Of Maggie Beckett?

9. A civil war caused by the division between the Bureau of Internal Reconstruction and a group known as the Believers - New Gods For Old

I'm going back to sleep now.
