    I was thinking this too and was hoping to find a group outside of Richmond who would help us battle The New Frontier, who previously got kicked out of Richmond.

    It’s never explained, in fact, I think the writers just completely disregarded that line. While Jesus says that ANF took over, in Episode 4 during the trial, Joan mentions that Richmond has been governed for YEARS. Which is it Telltale, was their takeover recent, or have they been there for years, I want answers damn it.

    People who were allied with thatPaulguy it seems.
    The original(?) story depicted in the menu would've had Javier encouraging the people to rise up and fight against the New Frontier and the citizens in the town lacked any overt connection to the New Frontier(particularly, no marks), so clearly.
    It's also worth noting that Joan mentions that they've only been there for almost a year. That might have been another possible piece of Above the Law clearly trying to set the stage for that finale to still happen despite the three months of rewriting.

    Yeah, this is Joan's actual line:

    For years now, Richmond has been governed by one simple principle: strong council, strong community.

    Oh, wtf--well, this was after another near complete rewrite that probably only last one or two months.
    I mean, I suppose you could also say that the New Frontier Council just assimilated the idea from Richmond, but what are the odds?

    Imagine having a strong community in the Apocolypse for years just to have a few survivors destroy everything lmao.
