NORTH AMERICA IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Southern Command:  This aggressive and hard hitting freehold is also known as the Ozark Free Territory. Their hard-marching hunters strike up and down the Midwest, while a well organized regular force known as the Guards watches the border.

The Pacific Groglands:  The most unusual feature of the this part of Oregon and California is that they formed an alliance with a freehold, after Reapers from the Northwest Paramountcy began taking Grogs as well as humans.

Great Houses of Mexico:  Mexico has reverted to colonial times. Powerful small families of Kurians each control estates covering hundreds of square miles.

Northeastern Ruins:  The great cities of the Northeast Coast are mostly in ruins because of tidal wave and war. What is left is under the tooth of the Kurians.

The Plains Frontier:  This bushwhack country is the site of constant small scale actions between Southern Command and the surrounding Kurians

Withered Bluegrass:  A mixture of human factions, mostly Quisling, constantly feud over the good bottomland and horseherds of this area.

Carolina Frontier:  This Nomansland has a Kurian or two, some independenty minded Grogs, and a large Quisling militia constantly fighting with the Freeholders from the Smoky Mountains.

The Great Lakes:  The White Banner Fleet and numerous small traders ply these waters for food and trade.

Chicago:  What Vegas was to the Twentieth Century, Chicago is to Vampire Earth. A wheeling and dealing town where anything, including your freedom, can be had with a price.

Smokies Strongholds:  The least populous and least organized of the Freeholds, the forces in the Southern Appalachias are simply small groups of men following a few strong willed individuals determined never to give in to the Kur.

The Rustbelt:  The Kurians have very little interest in industry, but what heavy equipment is still produced comes from the deteriorating factories and workshops here.

The West Texas Blight:  This dangerous ground belongs to whoever is tough enough to hold it.

New Wild West:  A large, mostly empty area is tricky to travel. What towns there are change hands frequently, so what was a sanctuary a year ago could be a young Kurian's province today.

The Bitter Earth:  The cities and water are controlled by the Kurians here. And you must pity the few souls who live under them, for some reason the most bizarre and erratic of the New Order seek out the arid lands to indulge their delusions of godhood.

Florida Freakshow:  The East Coast of Florida was deeded to several battalions of Grogs. They are said to be so variegated and ugly that even the alligators have left in disgust.

South Texas Coast:  The fiercely independent people of this region take no sides and no prisoners. But they can be bought.

East Side of the Big Muddy:  This is a large, rich strip of Kurian farmland, and the breadbasket for the eastern Kurian realms.

West Side of the Big Muddy:  Much of Iowa has been deeded to the most loyal of the Quislings in reward for services, and betrayals, rendered.

Beachfront:  Six small enclaves of a Kurian or two each rule this once-beautiful coast.

The Dallas Barons:  Dallas is home to several very anti-social Kurians, uncooperative even by the low standards of the Kur. It is the headquarters for young Kurians seeking their own realms in the Southwest.

Green Hell:  The cruelly run farms and factories of this province are considered to be among the most miserable in the Kurian Zone.

The Richmond Five:  Five principal Kurians, whose presence on earth is thought to go back hundreds (or even thousands) of years live here, surrounded by art and books pillaged from the great collections on the East Coast.

The Georgia Control:  Atlanta and its surrounding regions are run by a large corporate bureaucracy. Perhaps the Dark Lords here read some management textbooks.

Crescent City and Surrounding:  Louisiana is still a crazy place filled with crazy people. Living under the Reapers will either sober you up or make you insane.

Wind River Valley:  This is the smallest Freehold of the Northwestern Confederacy, unless you count the Free City of Denver.

The Twin Rubbles:  Minneapolis and St. Paul are both in ruins, guarding the northern border of the Quisling deeded areas.

The Plains Gulag:  This region is not the ideal farmland it once was. But its scattered fortress-farms still produce enough to feed the population of the West.

St. Louis:  Ever since the city's Kurian Lords were killed, this area has belonged to the Grogs. The bitterest and longest standing Grog-Human war is fought in the foothills of the Ozarks outside St. Louis.

East Texas:  A single Kurian wanderer controls this huge area with his thirteen Reapers. He is one of the very few Kurian Lords who enjoys battle.

Upper Rio Valley:  The Kurians control the water, so they control the humans and the cattle.

California Valley Vampires:  Powerful Kurians who desire the good life for themselves have carved out many beautiful estates in this valley. But they still prefer the blood-vintage to the fine wines that are still produced here.

The LA Eight The only true matriarchy of the Kurians, eight powerful female Kur rule most of Southern California.

Columbia River Kur:  One of the Kurian vassal states to the Seattle Paramountcy holds much of the area around this great river.

The Seattle Demigod:  The most skilled and feared Kurian leader of the West has carved out a species of empire here. The Kurian provinces around him actually acknowledge his leadership and do what he says.

The Colonel's Realm:  The most military-minded and fascistic of the Freeholds, some say it is just as bad here under the Colonel, who shoots people at the drop of a hat, as it is under the Reapers.

The Reconstituted Government of the United States:  The only claim to fame this Freehold has is that it is run by the descendents of the original United States government.

Western Confederacy:  This is the largest of the Freeholds, but because of the terrain not well populated. Some say it is the only thing standing between the Kurian in Seattle and his desire to dominate the entire late United States.

The Madison Triumvirate Three Kurians supervise this rich dairy land from the old University between the lakes.

Denver:  Denver is the only major city not seriously damaged by the Overthrow that is still in the hands of Freeholders. Perhaps the Kurians dislike the altitude and climate.

The Desert Rangers:  The fewest and the toughest of the Freeholders, these guerilla warriors fight with the savagery of Apaches. Which is understandable since many of them are Apaches.

Green Mountain Boys:  An ever moving Freeholder army constantly moves up and down the mountains of the Northeast, a plague to the Kurians and innocent hardscrabble farmers alike.

The Boundary Waters This semi-independent area is nominally under the Quislings and therefore the Kurians, but Reapers can only hunt here during the warmest summer months.
