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

 * Government: Provisional Government with two principal organs; the Council and the Mayor's Office.
 * Mayor: Eric Garcetti (D)
 * Ruling Party: Democratic
 * Council:
 * Provisional Assembly (125): Democratic (95), Republican (22), Vacant (8)
 * Laws and Policies:
 * Property Auction Act: Passed in the Assembly on March 19, 2020 (with the dissent of Republicans and some Democrats), the Property Auction Act allows the government to seize any property owned by a person or entity that was not residing in Los Angeles or Orange County, has no next of kin in either of the two counties, and could not be contacted by June 1, 2020. A lot of the property is auctioned off, generating some income, but some is kept by the JPG.
 * Lift of Curfew: A 8 PM curfew has been lifted over Los Angeles County.
 * Fuel Conservation Act: All public transport is shut down. Several oil companies, such as Chevron and Exxon-Mobil survive, restructure their regional offices, and buy off many of the auctioned oil rigs. The Ventura Resources Company (VRC) is started this year, a combination of many smaller oil companies in the LA Basin. Gasoline; reaching $18.09 per gallon, means that the streets of LA are empty. No cars, no buses. However, trucking has become important for distribution of food and essential resources, and the major highways have only one or two trucks passing by a day.
 * Zones of Control: In several ghettos and poorer areas, gang wars have become common. The LAPD has therefore established Zones of Control (ZICs) to ensure conflicts do not spill over. The most prominent of these have been Compton and West Carson. Within the ZICs, crime is rampant, but without access to food or water, most gangs eventually surrender to the LAPD.
 * A Tale of Two Counties: Since we have no communication outside of LA or Orange County, the two counties have unified under the Joint Provisional Government of the Counties of Los Angeles and Orange (JPG for short). The JPG is lead by a Mayor (official name; Grand Supervisor); currently Eric Garcetti, who leads the Duo-Supervision Committee, a board of advisors. The other major organ of the JPG is the Council, currently made up of an Assembly, as per C.R 008; which is made up of representatives from each incorporated city. Each city recieves one representative.
 * Permanent Resident Status Act: Any person within the boundaries of Los Angeles or Orange County as of November 11, 2019 will recieve permanent citizenship. This includes an estimated 480,000 tourists within Los Angeles County and an estimated 75,000 tourists within Orange County. Tourists are directed toward their local consulate for more information.
 * Electrical Conservation: Southern California Edison is bought out fully by the Los Angeles Department of Water and POwer, and incorporated with the Clean Power Alliance. All electricity is now controlled by the government, and most of it is routed towards essential areas; such as government installations and food stations. Electricity costs skyrocket throughout the city, but with oil still pumping and being transported, the LADWP estimates they should lower back down to normal levels within 5 years.
 * Capital: de facto Los Angeles City; de jure none
 * Economy: The Angelino economy was mostly based around commerce, entertainment, aerospace, and tourism before the event. After the event, the major sectors are oil & gas, logistics, and entertainment. Banking and finance has become a huge problem, as no major banks were headquartered in Los Angeles, meaning many people lost investments and deposits. Several banks did have regional offices in LA, and Wells Fargo, Citibank, Western Union, Bank of America, USBank, and PNC Finance survived the event. Many banks closed their doors, and many people lost access to their bank accounts. Looting and crime became common, mostly in West LA, and the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach were closed indefinetly.

 * Diplomacy:
 * Literally any other Exiled group: Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Is this the Krusty Krab? Uh, hello?...
 * Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Albania, Serbia, Trebizond: Alliance and trade deal? We'll also give you some of our modern technology. The Turks are gonna be sorry they ever messed with ya.
 * Qara Qoyunlu Federation: Hey, big dude. Psst. I need oil. Can I drill for oil in Iraq? No? How about tech and some cash money? What do you say?
 * Aq Qoyunlu, Turkish beyliks, and Timurid Empire: Acknowledge our existence (and please don't hurt us).
 * Ethnic Armenians living outside Armenian borders: Hey, move to this new country that just appeared out of nowhere. You're gonna have the time of your life. We have cool stuff that lets everyone live like your era's nobility. Plus we even speak the same language. Come over. Please. We implore you.
 * Conflicts: N/A
 * Events:
 * Societal Upheaval: Armenian citizens woke up on November 11, 2019 to find massive electricity and gas shortages, a complete cutoff of communications with the outside world, and their country completely on its own. Panic quickly ensued, with looting, suicides, and general civil disobedience running rampant, forcing the government to enact curfew and declare martial law for a time, as reconaissance missions operated with drones scout out the general vicinity to determine what had happened. Reports from said drones showed that the modern world had been completely replaced with the state of affairs during the Late Medieval Era, with historians identifying the time period as sometime in the early or mid-15th century. This only served to exacerbate the panic of the general public.
 * State of Emergency: A state of emergency is declared by the President and Vice President on November 18, 2019/1444, after conclusive and irrefutable evidence had been presented of the temporal displacement of the entire country of Armenia. This state of emergency is in effect for an indefinite amount of time, and all elections are suspended for the time being.
 * Contact with the "Ancestors": Our new geopolitical situation has put us in an even more precarious situation than what we were exposed to prior to temporal displacement. Thus, diplomatic delegations are sent to the courts of royal and noble families of the Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Trebizond, Albania, Serbia, the Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu tribal federations, the Turkish beyliks, and the Timurid Empire. These delegations are accompanied by Armenian diplomats, historians and linguists (especially those specializing in the medieval Balkans, Caucasus, and Middle East), as well as an array of modern technology and an offering of a few pounds of solid gold. It is noted that no delegation is sent to the Ottoman court, with a letter written in perfect medieval Turkish sent instead; the contents of said letter being simply, "F*ck you".
 * Friends?: We offer the Byzantines, Georgians, Trebizondians, Albanians and Serbians a military alliance and defensive pact in order to protect against the perfidious Turk, as well as a free trade deal, allowing goods from each of these countries to be traded in Armenian territory tarriff-free; and a technology sharing deal, equipping our (hopefully) new-found allies with modern equipment, technology, and weaponry should they accept.
 * Petrol Control: The Qara Qoyunlu get hit with an offer they can't refuse (we hope): Let us drill for oil in Iraq in exchange for modern technology, equipment, and arms, military access, infrastructure overhauls of the nation, and a substantial amount of gold. (Just to make sure, we have the delegation sent to the Qara Qoyunlu court have several military and police members armed with concealed guns, to threaten them into submission).
 * Hello? Anyone here?: Daily radio broadcasts sending out the full official name of the Republic of Armenia in both Armenian and English, the Armenian national anthem, and the summary of the general state of affairs in Armenia are broadcasted worldwide, hoping for someone else to recieve the broadcasts to let us know we are not alone in this strange time.
 * Emergency Infrastructure Project (EIP): In order to address the dire issue of power security, several wind farms are planned to be built across the Armenian countryside, and provided Qara Qoyunlu allows us access to the Iraqi oilfields, several oil refineries and oil power plants are also planned to be built. Construction of vertical farms in urban areas, as well as more water treatment plants along freshwater sources (especiallt Lake Sevan) is planned. Meanwhile, citizens are to ration food and water, and power will be cut to the entire nation between 9pm and 9am daily.
 * The Other Armenians: Large numbers of ethnic Armenians exist outside the borders of the Armenian nation. We encourage these “predecessor” Armenians to immigrate and take up service in Armenia, in order to bolster our population and workforce, as well as provide intel about the nations and political situations of this era in history. The government begins sending wandering agents into Armenian-majority areas, telling them of the superior quality of life in this “new Armenian nation” and persuading them to move to our territory.
