Furthermore, in terms of "future sketching" as it relates to these dramatic and game-atic vectors and memes, we have the TV show "Jericho".

Now, that this show is based around a city of bible fame, wherein a dude named Joshua used hookers as spies, to circumvent the city and undermine it, I won't dwell on. However, the show has a clear template of the future, which I will now describe:

Basically, a corporation distributes some 30 nukes or whatever, and "decapitates" the USA in a corporate orgasmic cull which actually even results in our milspec USARMY being changed into some other name, what'd they call it? The American States Army or something?

Okay so anyway, in that TV show Jericho, California is not part of the story. Let us presume, that the events of Jericho (Texas saves the Day), happen in parallel with some un-produced Jericho Part Duex, where they show what actually happened in the Western US during the events of Jericho treason. Knowmsayin? Re-read this if not clear.

So:

Endwar: Western US out of the picture
Jericho: Western US not a factor in Endwar

...Hmm now what future meme will I dreddge up next? I bet you can guess who will roll in next, can't you?
