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 little physical 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.
 * Farm Accountability Act: Wine, grape, and nut farms, common in Los Angeles County near the Ventura County border, are bought out by the government and burned down to make way for more nutritious wheat and grain farms. In Orange County, the county government refuses the tear down the iconic orange and fruit farms, the county's namesake. These, however, take too much water to grow, and considering the conservation of fuel only for necessary logistics, many citrus farms shut down.
 * Rainy Day Fund Act: Several water reservoirs, such as Silver Lake Reservoir and Morris Reservoir are nearly emptied/drained for water. Even with extreme water conservation (each family is allowed 3 gallons a day), the residents of the JPG use up water quickly. A new solution must be found if Los Angeles is to survive, as the LADWP estimates that even draining all avaliable reservoirs, water supplies will run dry in 14 years at the current rate.
 * 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.

 * Conflicts
 * Los Angeles Drug Wars: Resolved. Police victory in some areas. Gangs maintain control in Carson, West Carson, and Fremont.
 * Diplomacy
 * Japan: Well, it is nice to know we aren't alone. Since we desperately need extra food, I would be willing to trade oil for food once the cargo ships are up and running again.
 * Events
 * Communications: My god. It appears we are not alone in this brave new world. Our RND and GPS systems, as well as several radio systems have detected communications coming from central Mexico, New York City, Japan, and Cheyenne. Weaker signals are arising from Ecuador, Western Europe, and China. Several ships docked in Los Angeles are sufficient enough to possibly travel down to Mexico to establish trade.
 * Avalon Expedition: A private expedition to the city of Avalon has resulted in shock when the city was not visible. It is likely that the Channel Islands were not transported back in time, like the rest of LA and Orange County were. Sme have sailed to the new city, and the small community of New Avalon has been created where the old one once (or will) stood (stand).
 * Great Media: CBS and NBC, both having extensive offices in Los Angeles, survive the event. Since electricity is not avaliable for many due to the frequent brownouts, they have both reduced their television coverage and mostly focused on radio. CBS and NBC Radio both mostly broadcast news and music, and have become successful.
 * Caltech Riots: Angry Christians demonstrated in front of the California Institute of Technology on June 16, 2020, demanding answers of the Event from the scientific institution. Eventually, the demonstration turned into rioting, and two were killed after an LAPD policeman fired into the crowd.
 * Federal Remnant Government: Several federal assets in Los Angeles, including NWS stations, an FCC and DoE office, NASA's JPL office, and several governmental agencies form the Federal Remnant Government, lead by Representative Katie Porter (D-CA). The FRG acts independently of the JPG, but does coordinate with it.
 * Los Angeles Air Force Base: Some of the systems at the Los Angeles Air Force Base are online, thankfully. The GPS system is still limited, we only have access to 3 satellites and GPS systems are only avaliable in the Los Angeles Basin. Elon Musk and his company SpaceX helped heavily with the project, and the good news from this has boosted SpaceX to become the premier aerospace company.
 * Military Might: The California National Guard, without any communication from the Governor or the President, has sided with the JPG. The several military bases, with the execption of El Segundo, have declared their loyalty to the FRG.
