Howdy, Neighbor!
I ran a PbP set in Arkansas in 2030, so we were practically neighbors! In fact, we had one encounter with some Mississippi State Guard that were manning a checkpoint at their side of the bridge at Pendleton, Arkansas. Probably unbeknownst to higher HQ, they had taken it upon themselves to charge a "toll" to anyone attempting to cross the river via the bridge. It was also suspected that they crossed the river in a small boat during a major summer storm and looted some partially flooded houses in Pendleton. A teenaged resident subsequently took a couple of pot shots at the checkpoint with the hunting rifle, increasing tension between the MSG unit and the town. The PCs resolved the diplomatic crisis peacefully.
