Geography, Terrain, and Trivia
It is Known to be a large area of blasted radiation wasteland that covers the majority of the United States, formed from the fallout of the Atomic Wars. The Terrain in the Immediate Area at the walls of Mega City One are devoid of any life or vegetation. This section resembles the Sahara Desert but further deeper into the Cursed Earth, the terrain changes noticably and you begin to see trees and different types of vegetation where ever there are fresh water sources. This section resembles more like shrub-land like the Kalahari Desert.
