Boatweight Discussion

The Boatweight Discussion occurred during the Davison administration, during the idyllic early days of the republic, between its independence and the Caterpillar War. The discussion was regarding the weight of boats on the new nation's waterways—were they too heavy or not?

The Boatweight Discussion formed the first political parties in Alanland, the Toasters (T) and the Monicans (J), whose names obviously delineated how each side felt on the issue.

When the Boatweight Discussion was settled, the stage was clear for Alan Brown to become the Grand Unified Alan of Alanland.
