abstract	The story is told from the perspective of President of the United States and Prime Minister of Canada Harris Moffatt III, who rules a rump United States and Canada that runs along the Rocky Mountains and the Wasatch Range with its de facto capital of Grand Junction, Colorado. Washington DC remains the de jure American capital, although it is under the Krolp's control. Moffat's father and grandfather were also American presidents and Canadian prime ministers. After being left alone for decades, the Krolp demand access to silver and a small amount of gold deposited deep below the surface of northeastern Utah. Moffat, realizing that any Krolp mining operation would probably leave the remainder of the U.S. and Canada uninhabitable, refuses, and launches an uprising. The uprising surprises the Krolp, but is quickly crushed within three days. Moffat and his wife Jessica Moffatt attempt to flee to rump Canada. However, 20 minutes later, they are captured and are forced into exile in the Krolp's North American capital of St. Louis, Missouri.
