The territories in the North American Sector include what was once the United States of America, Canada and Greenland. With the exception of the Far East Sector, it is the most technologically advanced and self-reliant of the surviving world nations. Conditioned for war by the global civil conflict of the 1990's, this sector had an established military/ political machine geared for the sole purpose of quickly rebuilding cities. Of course, much of the reconstruction operations network was destroyed, but enough survived to get the heavily decimated sector back on its feet.
Lost in the planetary assault was the west and east coasts of the entire continent. Wasteland and deserts stretch from Alaska to the Baja Peninsula and through what were the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Likewise the entire eastern seaboard extending west through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and parts of Michigan, Ontario and Quebec are nothing more than mangled cities and parched earth.
