While the Morrow Project is dedicated to rebuilding the United States of America... It's not to rebuild the USA as it is today, but to restore the Republic and the Ideals that inspired 'The American Dream'... A land of limited government intervention in the lives of it's citizens. Where a person with a dream can come and build it from nothing.

Nate,
In the canon rules, the MP Intranet is called MORONET (see "Computers in the Morrow Project"). Personally, I call it MORROWNET because it avoids the word "moron", but there you go.
Interesting rationale for the North, makes a lot of sense to hide stuff up there. Except for the permafrost, that is! But there are mountains in parts of the north, so those would be good places to hide stuff. I use the canon background, so units allocated to "Nunuvat" would be folded into NWT and the Yukon.
I'm pretty much with you until you get to your personal political and social views, and I respect them on a personal level.
Overall, the Project should appeal to more than one set of American political ideals, therefore a "neutral" model seems like the best way to go. That is, rebuilding the USA to the pre-war political and social
status quo: a liberally democratic centrally-governed industrial nation with a free-market economy governed by the rule of law. (I should point out this model heavily favours big business.) Then if the American people want to change things for "the better" then they can do so democratically, without the Project dictating their choices for them.
Note I'm not suggesting an abrogation of a social or political role for the Project; by its very nature the Project is going to significantly change many lives and communities, even in the 3-5 year window. (At least, that's the plan.) On a local level there might be shifts to the left or right (depending on the situation). The overall idea shouldn't be to force Americans into an overall conservative or liberal political or social mould until such a time as they can decide for themselves.
