Ah.

Well, I'd assumed that (as you said, in a natural progression of events
from today) Northern California subjugated SoCal by threatening to cut
off the water supply, and then lived in peace (except when all those
other countries tried to interfere with our serene and sophisticated
lifestyle) :)

Actually, I am curious about FCT's fluff ("official" background info). 
Reading various pages, I came across a reference to the FCT flag being
red and blue with a white star (?) but nothing about OOB or technology
or doctrine or anything.

I would think that FCT would have high tech, especially EW (thanks to
Silicon Valley) along with a lot of infantry (big population). 
Ethnically, it'd be a mix of Latino and Anglo, mostly.

Is FCT contiguous (does it include part of New Mexico)? or is it cut in
half?

Any history of wars with the LLAR?
