South Dakota

South Dakota is a state within the United States of America. Notable for the location of Mount Rushmore. South Dakota did not suffer as greatly as did most of the Great Plains during the Drought of '98, thanks to quick legislation for careful water conservation. But their conservation of Lake Oahe caused the Missouri River to be reduced to a mere trickle, which did nothing to help Nebraska's plight. South Dakota's foresight led inevitably to a lot of water poaching, which further soured relations between the state and its neighbors. Agribusiness try held a large share of the state's economy, but the state government, falling back on anti-trust laws, kept the Corporate bloodhounds from taking over the state as they have elsewhere in the country.
