Joint Provisional Government of the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, and Antonio (JPG)

 * Government: Provisional Government with two principal organs; the Council and the Governor's Office.
 * Governor: Eric Garcetti (D)
 * Ruling Party: Democratic (Senate and Governor), Republican (Assembly)
 * Council:
 * Senate (125): Democratic (76), Republican (43), Liberty (6)
 * Joint Assembly (138): Democratic (64), Republican (73), Liberty (1)
 * Laws and Policies:
 * Elections: Democrats lose control of the Joint Assembly but retain their supermajority in the Senate.
 * California Constitution: The California Constitution is signed on December 16, 2022, which will abolish the provisional government on January 1, 2024. The C.C was approved by 788 delegates, of which one from Iron Fort and two were from New Avalon. Power will be transitioned over to the Government of California (effectively the same as the JPG; difference in name only). The office of the Governor is renamed to President; and presidential elections will be held on November 1, 2026. Senate elections will be held on November 1, 2026 too, while Assembly elections will be held on November 1, 2024.
 * Desalination: Several prototype desalination plants are built in El Segundo, quickly becoming the economic hub of Los Angeles. These are expected to prove some relief from the water crisis, but not much.
 * Reorganization: The military is reorganized into three main branches. Los Angeles' aerospace industry will be helpful in rebuilding the air force, and the army is currently on a recruiting directive across the county.
 * Capital: Los Angeles City
 * Economy: The local economy is recovering. Much of the buildings that dot downtown LA crumble, without any maintenence work. Financial systems across the city are recovering, although lotting and crime still remain common in some areas. The California Constitution, in one of its many amendments, includes a provision for the Council to come up with a new currency for California by 2030, as the U.S dollar continues to gain value significantly. $20 is adequate enough to purchase a small television.

 * 6,000 reserve soldiers

 * Conflicts:

 * Diplomacy:
 * ​​​​​​​Hawaii: Aloha! Our fleet of patrol boats has arrived, and we would like to begin diplomatic relations, establish an outpost on one of your islands, and begin trade.
 * Events:
 * ​​​​​​​Emissary to Hawaii: A small diplomatic mission of twelve ships, stocked with fuel, modern technology, vaccines and medicine, weapons, food, water, and more is sent as an envoy to Hawaii. Several professors proficient in ancient Hawaii are also on board.
 * Auctions: An auction market springs up in an office complex in West Hollywood. Soon, auctions can be found on every street in every neighborhood. Items from non-exiled cities and locations, such as Chicago or France are sold. A postcard from Atlanta can fetch up to $40, while a keychain of the Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow fetched $2,100. Postcards and artifacts from New York or Tokyo remain nearly worthless, although recent trouble in Mexico City have made the prices of Mexican artifacts skyrocket. A 19th century Armenian coin from Ottoman rule is nearly sold for $14,000, before it was realized that the nation of Armenia was also exiled.
 * Bytes: Elon Musk registers a new company, Bytes. Bytes' main goal is to restore internet access throughout Los Angeles, and a $1.0 million contract is signed with the JPG to to start repairing an internet line through Los Angeles Legislative Hall and the UCLA campus, as well as creating a communication network.
 * Return to Normalcy: The Pew Research Center releases a three year study that states that from 2019-2022, suicide rates skyrocketed, but have calmed down in recent months. Rates of depression and poverty, once at sky-high levels, have also calmed, but not to pre-2019 levels. The last zone of control in Compton is also declared safe this year, meaning the majority of Los Angeles has been pacified from active gang warfare.
 * Black Gold: The town of Fort Iron is established where Thousands Oaks once stood, and stands as the gateway for the "new" Ventura County, where plentiful oil is abound. Oil rigs pop up in previously empty lands, and prices slowly tumble downward.
