Default in what part of reign of steel map do you live now?

i just open this topic just for the fun of it since i love this book so much.

OK my turn....

this is were i live:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama

in the capital city of the same name:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panam%C3%A1_Province

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_City

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panam%C3%A1_District (Betania is were i live since 1982)

as you can see i live very near to the panama canal so..........

according to reign of steel map, i live technically inside the territory of zone Caracas but at the same time near the border between Mexico/Caracas zone.

according to ROS map and book the border that divide Mexico and Caracas is the panama canal, am i right in this?

please correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not good in understanding correctly English.

ok now the turn of the other members of the forum.

go ahead and have fun!

Zone Washington, about 200 miles from the capital.

Pittsburgh is probably a lot like the description of New York City, only worse, and thoroughly surrounded by Quarantine Zones.

Ontario, Canada puts me squarely in Zone Washington. That's a lucky break. Zone Washington is the second-best place to be after the dust settles, with Zone London leading the way.

Unfortunately I'm about an hour and a half outside of Toronto, a major center that surely got pasted during the Final War. My nearest corresponding person in the Reign of Steel continuity almost certainly died, either during the plagues or in the Final War.

In a town called Wishaw in Zone London about half an hour from Glasgow which as a fairly large ship building industry but the area is semi-rural so maybe i have a good chance of survival.

Where's Charlotte, NC on the map?

Probably pasted with a nuke, it's the 20th largest city in the U.S. and has a heavy banking industry...

see? this is a fun topic, i told you. X-D

ok sometimes often i also go to the countryside of panama in here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capira_District

in the map you can see were this district is and that is after the line the represent the famous panama canal:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pa...cation_map.svg

in other words that district is inside the Mexico zone territory, yikes! X-P

in Capira district i often go to a small beach called Gorgona, is a beach were middle low class people like myself can enter and go.
well I'm not a fan of country side in panama(I'm more city person and like any typical city person i get more boring and depress when i have to go to the country side)but i have to go there almost like once in a week because of work. and in Gorgona my step family build there a little summer house, not too big but 5 people can sleep there i think.

anyway once you step out of the panama capital and pass the panama canal you just entered the countryside of Panama witch is were the zone Mexico begin right away.

ok here is the border between Mexico and Caracas zones:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...gh_Diagram.png

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Ancon_hill.jpg

in the last picture you can appreciated more the border of the 2 zones.

hey! you guys can share pictures too of the part of the world were you live and try to guide the others were the zones are.
this is sooooooo fuuuunnnnnnn!!!

i see that most of you live in the safer zones(i think Caracas is also a safer zone for meats, right?)mostly in Washington and London territory.
David Pulver i think live currently in Vancouver territory or Denver i don't know.

hey! if any of you decide to go to Panama i can be your guide for free, he he he!
we are in dry season and a hard one because of "el nino" and it will last until June or august, so the weather people here say.
the country side of Panama is always dry and hot(Mexico territory), while in the capital(Caracas zone) is always raining specially during raining season.

thanks for participating in my post guys thanks a lot.

i have never seen Denver except in scifi movies and Google pictures and youtube videos.
Denver seem pretty mostly in spring and summer. stil by the time Denver AI got that territory i don't know if the place would look pretty anymore.

i always wanted to Denver specially the famous mountain Cheyenne were not just sky net and Denver live but also Colossus AI and the AI from the novel "the god machine".

this is why Denver is my favorite place in USA.

i also heard that in winter Denver is TERRIBLE and DANGEROUS is that truth?
if is, then is must be much worse by the time the AI of Denver rule there and in the slave camps people must suffer a lot from that cold.

According to the map on Wikipedia, I'm in Zone Washington. I suspect droid17's location would be rather hostile, as it's either uninhabitable (if it falls under Mexico City's jurisdiction) or is close enough that the toxic air would probably kill most people living there... meaning any humans at such a border would be living underground. Provided he made it past the diseases and wars (probably far enough away from anything important to do so), my RoS analog might still be kicking.
