Nebraska in In the Presence of Mine Enemies[]

After Washington, DC was destroyed by a German nuclear bomb during the Third World War, Omaha, Nebraska's largest city, became the capital of the United States under strict Nazi supervision.

Nebraska in Southern Victory[]

Nebraska was a staunchly Socialist state in the 20th century. Nebraska Senator George Norris chaired the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War during the Second Great War.

Militarily, Nebraska played a minimal role in every confrontation between the United States and the Confederate States. Although it contributed many of its native sons to the USA's efforts, the state itself was never a front.

Nebraska in Supervolcano[]

Nebraska was badly hit when the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupted. It was down-wind of the eruption and so covered with ash. No one was sure how many feet, but the U.S. wouldn't have the fleet of bulldozers and trucks to remove it.[1]

Bryce Miller's airliner was diverted to Lincoln, the state capital, when the Supervolcano erupted, but was forced to ditch into Branch Oak Lake.[2]
