{ Washington, D.C. }
Radiation Filled Wasteland
The capitol of the United States, as it was seen before the Great War. Even though it was nearly obvious that Washington, D.C. would get bombed, people still flocked to the area. Thus, whenever the bombs fell, thousands of people lost their lives, and thousands of others fell victim to heavy radiation poisoning, and many mutated. The capitol itself and the area around it are now known as the Capitol Wasteland, as it's all basically in ruins and anyone living there are often times killed and/or taken over by raiders, who have claimed the area mostly for themselves. It's a harsh wasteland full of raiders, many mutated beasts, and just a handful of good people trying to survive. Unfortunately the area is completely void of resources and with constant raider attacks, caravans importing goods have started to slowly die down. As a side note, it's speculated that the president and government officials are still alive in an extremely secure underground bunker somewhere in the area, though no one has attempted to look for it.



{ Las Vegas, Nevada }
City of Luck and Fortune
Las Vegas was always home to lots of fun and crazy events before the great bombing. Not much changed afterwards, either. When the bombs fell, the people of Las Vegas all pretty much left, fearing that it would be one of the major targeted locations. When the bombs fell, those that stayed in Las Vegas survived and those that left generally died, as Las Vegas was never even touched by the bombs or the radiation they left behind. However, soon after zombies started to be attracted to the grand city, and barriers were quickly erected around the strip. Now a safe haven, the city is hard to get into and tons of secrets and events take off there. It's home to many shady people and lots of fun. It's the symbol of the post apocalyptic wasteland, and people flock there from all over to remember what life was like before everything went to hell. Many head there to simply bet their Chips on machines and "games", trying to obtain some of the rarest items found in the wasteland. People say the place is not only rigged but also haunted.



{ Anchorage, Alaska }
Covered in Disease
The city located far north, in one of the only two states not of the main mass of the USA. With temperatures typically never rising over seventy degrees, it is by far a very, very chilly location for anyone. Unfortunately, the city sometimes sees volcanic eruptions from the many surrounding volcanoes. The most notable volcanic activity left a blanket of ash over the city, causing many issues for it. After the war, the city was completely untouched by the bombs and radiation. However, a strange new type of biological warfare was started across the world by China. Starting in Alaska itself, planes flew over the state and released gases into the air. The state became filled with what people called the "Diseased", or zombies. The population of Alaska quickly dwindled down to a mere couple hundred people after only a few weeks of the disease starting, as the disease struck nearly every person alive. Those lucky enough to get into one of the bunkers in Alaska before the plains flew over the state survived the disease.
