Just something for a deiselpunk setting I'm working on, inspired by Indiana Jones, Bioshock, and the Book of Revelations. If you want to use the map for your own nefarious purposes, I would be honored.
Traveler's Guide to a Ruined Nation
President Roosevelt hasn't been seen in public since his victory over the Legion. The western states have succeeded; more will follow. The C.I.A. sticks its tendrils wherever they'll fit.
The Southern Occupation Administrative Zone (S.O.A.Z.)
Aims to enforce federal law in the Legion's former strongholds. Military leadership coagulates into looter-cliques, with little interest in turning over their power.
Tuskegee Semi-Autonomous Republic
Territory turned over to the south's Black partisans. The S.O.A.Z. seems to think Tuskegee answers to them. Roosevelt's administration disagrees. The Republic itself takes a third stance on the issue.
Transappalachia
Abandoned by S.O.A.Z. forces in 1950. Dominated by Charismatic cults and ex-Legion warlords, played off each other by the C.I.A.
The Triple States
Theoretically subject to federal jurisdiction. Functionally the Wild West, home to fugitives, cowboys, and oil barons.
The Dust Storms
They tear flesh and spark arc-lightning. Worse, they carry the pale fever. Gas-masked madmen lurk in the ruins of Colorado.
Deseret
Revolutionary Mormon republic, preparing itself for the end-times. Rich in gold, starving for water.
Las Vegas
Loophole through Deseret's strict import/export policies. Managed, of course, by organized crime. What isn't these days?
The Sonora-Mojave League
Abandoned by the capitals in both east and west. Their country ballads would have you believe its the only free place left on Earth.
The Pacific Consortium
A defective fragment of the Legion's military-industrial complex. Their airships cruise the skies, seeking profit before war. Sometimes they bring war anyways.
This looks cool! I'm interested to see how the rest of the world is doing - I'd guess Canada and Mexico are dealing with about the same stuff, but the other continents presumably wouldn't have been touched by the Legion or the dust storms.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was imaging the dust storms would sprout up in climates similar to the great plains, worldwide. Likewise, the pale fever knows no borders. Neither do the Nazis; things are very bad in Europe.
