'''Premise: the difficulty of survival should be left up to the individual region-writer.'''

Some people want to play in a world akin to the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(video_game) Fallout]'' series, a scorched Earth in perpetual drought. Others want to play in a world of humanity's twilight, akin to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormac_McCarthy Cormac McCarthy]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road ''The Road'']. Others still want to play in an Earth-renewed, wherein the fragile corporatist system has been shattered by a brief nuclear exchange, and the planet's ecosystem is rebounding while humanity's technological mastery is receding. There is no way to reconcile these options - instead, for the purposes of this project, each individual contributing a region may describe their locale however they wish.

Further, note that the FEMA 1990 maps in some of the state entries are simply FEMA guesses. In your region, feel free to comment on their accuracy or lack thereof.
