civ4col we the people

Setting:

Civil unrest erupted across the French colonies on the Idaho Islands, fuelled by poor governance and economic exploitation. Faced with dire conditions, the citizens of these colonies were forced into desperate choices: many succumbed to illness and starvation, while others boarded ships bound for Paris in search of refuge. Some, determined to take control of their fate, joined settler militias to carve out a place for themselves in the rugged terrain of the Idaho Islands.

Pirates plagued the coasts of the Idaho Islands, spreading chaos and fear. Among the most infamous figures of this era were William Day, David Hawley, Edmund Death, and Jorge Colby, whose exploits struck terror into the hearts of settlers and sailors alike.
