Kansas Governor Election of 2022

The Kansas Governor Election of 2022 was an event that caused the founding of Rimlight City. The election installed a puppet governor controlled by Pearrye Corp. Deregulation began over the course of the puppet's term. This coincided with the overall corporatization of the United States of America in the 2030's and 2040's.

The manufacturing sector became increasingly unregulated, allowing for it to become America's new production powerhouse. Labor unions were dropped in favor of tax cuts and government grants toward the sector. The elections became more illegitimate as time went on. Anti-Chinese sentiment grew through out the United States of America, allowing for these events to fly under the radar as Americans became more eager to reduce dependence on Chinese manufacturing.

Within the 50 years after this election, the state would see numerous attempts from corporations to take control of consumer goods market share, eventually placing Matsumoto-Kaeba Inc as the primary manufacturer at 50.4% of all household goods in the former United States of America by the year 2070.
