Traficant's Dream

Traficant's Dream begins in 2001 when U.S. Congressman James Traficant of Ohio established a breakaway republic in his home county of Mahoning in order to avoid being convicted of taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his Congressional staff to perform chores at his farm in and on his houseboat.

This scenario was started as a random idea on my Twitter and has since expanded massively as you can see. I hope you enjoy it, thanks for checking it out.
