According to TM 1-1, 3rd Edition, the Rich Five (better known as the Kentucky Free State) are listed as covering a much greater area than the published modules acknowledge.
They cover two regions:
Northeastern Highland Region of Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky.
Southeastern Highland Region of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama.
They are also listed as possessing a tech level of 1980+, including Unlimited power, fusion and laser technology and population. Some of their weapons are equivalent to the Project. Limited only be available materials and population (work force).
This implies that the KFS should have access to a large population, with a industrial base to match.
When asking how much technology the KFS has, it can be argued that they have as much tech as they need. And with them controlling ten states, and with "outposts" into the surrounding states (if only to secure strategic points and resources).....
