Free Fergus?
In response to my plan to redraw the borders of Minnesota, Rick e-mails to volunteer to return from California and lead a Free Otter Army to keep Fergus Falls out of the clutches of the Dakotans:
We can not lose Fergus Falls. We can mount our defense from the bluffs above Rothsay. Also, there exists a three-fold watershed to the North of FF where waters run to Lake Winnipeg, Lake Superior and the Gulf of Mexico. We can't let the strategic fun of having your waste flow to three bodies of water fall into the hands of the hated Dakotans. Everyone knows that the key to holding the western portion of MN is Fergus Falls, the Carthaginians knew it, the Romans knew it, and now you know it. The Vikings made the mistake of trying to hold the line at Alexandria, and look what became of them...We can not lose Fergus Falls. Must I come back to lead the Otters?
If Rick is indeed willing to return to defend his homeland, then perhaps my plans could be amended to include a Free Otter State, running from just west of Alexandria to Rothsay (home to the world's largest prairie chicken) with its capital at Fergus Falls. It would of course be a vassal state to Minnesota but could serve as a critical buffer and first line of defense against the Dakotans.
