Safe-Zones

Before the collapse of society, the United States set up 18 safe-zones as items such as; electricity, trade and borders were shut down. The 18 safe-zones contain;


 * 1) Sacramento -  California
 * 2) San Diego - California
 * 3) Denver - Colorado
 * 4) Savannah - Georgia
 * 5) Tallahassee - Florida
 * 6) Indianapolis - Indiana
 * 7) Boston - Massachusetts
 * 8) Lansing - Michigan
 * 9) Albany - New York
 * 10) Buffalo - New York
 * 11) Portland - Oregon
 * 12) Pittsburgh - Pennsylvania
 * 13) Knoxville - Tennessee
 * 14) Austin - Texas
 * 15) Salt Lake City - Utah
 * 16) Roanoke - Virginia
 * 17) Seattle - Washington
 * 18) Milwaukee - Wisconsin

Out of all 18, Seattle was the longest-standing and was last seen standing in 2024. It is unknown if Seattle still stands as of 2032.

Life
Life in all 18 safe-zones were considered "normal but strict". All citizens had to have license to leave and licenses were only earned after hard work. Each safe-zone had about ~1,000 soldiers guarding and large areas for farming. It is estimated that only about 100,000 were accepted into the safe-zones altogether, with Seattle having the lowest at around 9,000 as of 2021. As of 2032, it is believed that 17/18 of the safe-zones have collapsed due to food shortages, were overrun or destroyed by opposing groups.
