Former Italy. Clans are organized around fortified households and hilltop villages, led by a Patriarch. Apennines are the main cultural barrier. West side of mountains are populated by Burn-addicted squatters selling off the Bygone treasures to the Africans. East side is is a stronghold of the Neognostic Anabaptists, farming the land & staring off the Jehammedans to the East across the Adriatic Valley. 

Great families include the Lombardi in Bergamo, the Catalanos of Veneto, the Sforza of Perugia, the Modicas of Macerata, the Capodieca of L'Aquila, the de Paulos of Campobasso, and the Romanos of (what's left of) Roma. 

Sicily is now known as Bedain, and is an African stronghold, a great shipyard and launch point for expeditions into blighted Europe. Corsica and Sardinia are now known as Corpse, and is a pirate haven inaccessible to outsiders. The Reaper's blow lies submerged offshore. 

Major Cults include the Anabaptists, Apocalyptics, Clanners, Hellvetics, Scrappers, & Spitalians. The Earth Chakra, East of Mt. Vesuvius, produced the deadly Psychokinetics, masters of various bloodsucking insects, razor-thin force fields, and physical distortion of space.
