The Midlands are a mix of everything which is why it's so crazy. There's heavy corporate and Family influence there, as well as the home of the Robots (AI). All of the technology that changed the world and even started the war is there in Old Tech (which was the area bombed by the humans to wipe out AI who migrated to New Tech and then claimed Pulse in the treaty. There's even "alien" influence and even a place called Hell, which is basically that. Sanctuary is there to balance out not just the Midlands but the rest of the Homeland Territories, but the rest of the world there has gone quite mad which was it's own doing. It's the world where basically God said, "Ok, I'll let you do what you want, but I'm going to sit right here if you decide to look for me." Along with that there is the sense of humanity fighting back, which is why most of the outright warring and trouble is in the Midlands. The humanity that refused to leave and break and go crazy or dark is still there. The humanity that was not driven west or did not end up going west or east is still there. EVERYTHING is there... in a lot of cases, raw and uncut, and morphing.

MIDLAND TERRITORIES & DISTRICTS (A-Z):

​

Ai - it's a very elaborate and advanced red light district. There's a lot of business there as well, kind of like Wall St., but the crime is on the lower end compared to everything else in Midland. Very futuristic, very sexy, very gangster, very fast paced.

The Barrio - The Barrio has a lot of Cartel and gang influence, but a very very active tourist industry, with loads of vacation spots (in those areas). It's equally balanced with poverty and street gangs, trailer parks and mobile home parks, etc. It's largely Mexican but has some other beings and people there.
 

Carnivale' - Carnival of all sorts. Take everything about a circus, carnival, amusement parks and cons and festivals (Mardi Gras, Cinco De Mayo, Halloween, etc.) and have that form a city. Now take that city and let it have kids so now there's a whole territory of that, each one with it's own flair. Keep in mind you're doing this in the same version of the world that's not only torn the veil (spiritually) but has also reached such technological advancement that you don't know if the clown furry in front of you with the giant sucker offering you cotton candy is: a hologram (which exist here and have their own consciousness); a person in costume; a splice (a person who may have cat/feline DNA infused with their own and are dressed in clown core; is a demon; is a robot (cyborg, android, alter/human with robotic nano DNA but all human looking until they change things); a mutant (from fallout)... any combination of those.... and the list goes on and on. All you know, is you're in a town that has a labyrinth of mirrors and rollercoasters and there's a woman with a giant sucker who's part spotted cat offering you cotton candy and she seems friendly... and it's an hours drive to find the closest exit which may just open into another town like this but worse... or better? Just imagine being confined to a prison camp here and working on a chain gang. Or having to go to the hospital for a life or death emergency... yeah, in the town that Idolizes Harley Quinn. But they have the largest Ferris wheel ever, bumpercars with real suv's, Mickey Mouse is real there, and all of those worlds and lands of Disney are not costumes and animatronic... well some are but some aren't', AND they recently got a full Wonka Chocolate Factory maybe even larger than the one from the movies, with everything... like... EVERYTHING. You can even bring out the gimp. They have... a few.

Despoina - It's a Greco-Roman toga paradise known for the surf, sports, resorts, and the toga parties. There are every type of beach themed thing to do there, equestrian things, family things, but all very natural and earthy.

FALLOUT BEACH (Zombie Beach) - is a tourist attraction. A zombie infested tourist attraction. If you like to hunt, or are a thrill seeker, you might enjoy it. Because of the high radiation levels and huge number of zombies that were already there, but also rounded up and shipped there from all over the world, it's now like a mutated hunting safari where you can schedule different themed campaigns and go zombie hunting. The main draw is the zombie beach, which is a bunch of zombies that wash up on the beach randomly and become target practice for all sorts of weapons and styles of dispatching them. Chainsaw Polo was one way, where there are 2 teams riding horses with pole-saws seeing how many zombies they can kill before one of their teammates dies or is attacked by a zombie. Long distance Z shooting (like clay pigeon shooting, even in a gangster trap house)... there's a mine field you can navigate with a metal detector and see if you can outrun them... they get creative.

FALLOUT ZONE(s) aka The Dead Zones - Good ol' fashioned zombie infested, life doing what it does after being abandoned and radiated wasteland area.

Freakshow - Freakshow is where most of the Splices are. If it's weird, mutated, odd, strange, counter-culture, sub-culture, anti-culture... all of the cultures, even ones grown in labs, it's all there. "Unstables", shape shifters, holograms and programs with viruses, outlaws, alters and hybrids... it gets weird there, fast.
Genso - In the middle of the territories/districts called Hell, Carnivale', Freakshow, Nightmare, and a Fallout Zone is the very ornate and elaborate territory of Genso. It's a very magical and mystical land which is actually very peaceful for the most part. It's rumored to have been founded by a group of angels as a safe haven for wayward humans and beings to meditate and re-center and refocus their energy... to find your self again. However, no one knows which kinds of angels, or how true the rumor is. All folks know is its very Zen and there's a lot of magic there that could be very very good or very very bad and terrifying. One bad thing there is that it's hard to tell where reality ends and if you're still on some hallucination spirit quest or trip, or if your trip has actually crossed over from the other side with you when you came back. They even have a city called Holowood, which is a hologram projected city. Everything there is real but not, like the holodeck on Startrek meets Ready Player One but with a 3D and Reality printer reading your thoughts and painting it as you move around. None of it is real but all of it is real. VERY REAL. No one knows how big the city actually is.

Heartland - One of the largest and busiest Family run agricultural districts in the Homeland territories. There's rumors though that all sorts of... farming... goes on there. It's tightly regulated but there's the talk, "aliens and Ai and robots farm people there as a part of the treaty!" No one knows for sure, and you don't want to get caught poking around. Soylent Green is a thing.

Hell - It's hell. Portals opened, things came through... it's hell.

Long Nu Shi (Dragon Lady) - Long Nu Shi is a rival district of one of it's close neighbors Genso. Where Genso may have more robotic influence "The Dragon Lady" is more organic and natural. There are less splices, hybrids, and craziness, and more of a reverence for honor and preservation of culture. Having said that, although the area is very advanced, it's perfectly balanced with it's gardens, tea houses, pagodas, ponds and trails, bath houses, and other areas.

Lower Asgard - Viking Norse land. I'd say Wednesday is their favorite day of the week, but Thursday is a close second. Lovely cabins and bush crafting (and beer and ale crafting) is taken to a whole new level. Wonderful festivals. Titans... so, yeah, watch out for that.

Magadise (The Dise/The Dice) - It's where the good ol' boys who ain't gonna let no evil terrorist "Family" ruin this country the good lord blessed them to have. Here we speak the king's english and spanglish and love the lord church, my mama, my dog, my truck, my guns, a good beer now an then, some open field and a hard day's work, and some other stuff. Yeah there's some slavery but that not the point. Point is, fool me once... shame on.. me.. shame on you... You fool me, you can't be fooled again.

The Market - It's a giant shopping mall city nestled in a host of neighboring swap meets and strip-mall shopping centers, lined with farmers markets and sidewalk sales and even the houses and hotels have yard sales. There are black market cities, and bars and businesses where you can buy, sell, trade, even work off debt. It's the hustle-man's paradise. If it's for sale you can find it here. If you can't find it here it might not exist. If it doesn't exist, someone here will know how to make it exist. Make them an offer for the information, everything has a price.

New Avalon - If you know of the medieval legends of Avalon then you're on the right track. Some areas are very rural and medieval in their layout (reconstruction and development) where even the clothing and weaponry has reverted to those ways. Simpler times. Other areas have that facade, but you'll find a centaur with a .50 cal. rifle that has a chainsaw bayonet. They're big enough to handle it, i mean come on, they're half horse.

Newhope's Landing (The Landings) - It's an odd place. The Family has a large presence and stronghold here by way of Roman (the more violent and warlike ruler). On the surface it is a model district. Everything seems perfect. Everyone is healthy, crime is low, schools and business are doing well, the district is developing at a normal rate and everything seems fine. In fact, the only thing odd about it is that there's a lot of talk of alien stuff going on there, and that the capitol city was founded on a deal with aliens who abduct people and things there in exchange for technology to use against the Robots.

Newport - Newport was one of the first Superports to open after the war to get trade and the economy back on track. It took some Family influence to get it where it is but it was (and is) one of the most advanced ports there. It takes all types of ships, has teleporters, magnet trains and way more advanced technology all for the shipping and transportation industry. It also houses a lot of the factories and workers who were contracted to build the technology.

Nightmare - Nightmare is a lot like Freakshow, only more demonic. Everything is intensified: the price, the pleasure, the pain, the allure and illusion... the blurred crossing of the line between this world and all others... everything is intensified and more malevolent, but some folks are into that. If Freakshow is like Jerry Springer or Maury and Reality tv gone wild in Hollywood, Nightmare is the Bladerunner Horror Movie version from hell and The Mist. You may even run into Chucky. A 3D printed one powered by AI, or a possessed one powered by witchcraft or even a demon or someone imprisoned in there from a synthetic transplant gone wrong... all sorts of Chuckies.

North Tech - North (High) Tech is the most advanced area where humans co-exist with AI and robots. The Pure bots in Pulse, and main Pure AI do not associate with humanity and will kill them on sight, but in High Tech the treaty is honored and they all work together to maintain and advance what they've built together. Besides, there are other beings they have to worry about, so it makes sense for man and the machine to keep some place of common ground where they can at least meet in peace and see what each can do for one another.

Old Tech - Old Tech was the first Tech district. Things there got super advanced. AI reached consciousness there. The cloning and splicing was perfected there. Even some of the teleportation and other technology was started there. It was destroyed by The Family in an attempt to wipe out AI but they failed. Now it is a goldmine buried in ruins, still housing a lot of information and technology if one knows where to find it. Just be sure to get around all of the tech-gone-wild there. There are scraps of robots left, a lot of homelessness and poverty, and even some experiments from splicing and some unstables roaming about that survived the blast. It's a sore thumb so to speak, and a reminder of what can be accomplished, both good and bad.
 

Pasture - Pasture is a large retirement district. Along with retirement homes and cities there which also have some of the most expensive private hospitals and medical innovation in the "country", Pasture is known for two other things. It has a great deal of farmland there, with huge ranches and fields, cabins, and even rodeos are a big thing there. The third thing is that it also has a large number of private prisons. So even though it seems very open and easy going, it's very guarded with a lot of unseen eyes watching and unseen hands moving about. Safe, open, secure is the picture painted but there's way more to it.
 

Pleasure Island - Pleasure Island is all bad. It's where unregulated experiments happen, where a lot of black market items are made (cloned body parts for sale, etc.), and it's also where a lot of secrets and bodies are hidden. It's the island of Dr. Moreau and Dark City mixed with The Purge, 13 ghosts and the house on haunted hill, and The Most Dangerous Game, multiplied by Ninja Turtles and Frankenstein... and then it gets real from there.

The Plantation - yeah, well not everyone got off to a good start when humanity tried to reboot itself. Some folks reverted to some old ways. Some folks never knew those old ways were over though, and still, some others were just helping out friends of the family with a really really good deal.

Pulse (aka Cybertron) - This is the city of Robots. AI has split into two (or three) parts. Not getting into all of that here and now, but this is the sovereign territory of the Robots and AI. THEY DO NOT LIKE HUMANITY HERE. There are other areas where robots and the other conscious portion of AI coexist peacefully, but here is the land of the pures (The Pure Stream/AI and the Pure Bots/Machines) and hey don't like human or anything resembling human. They're even racist towards androids because they look like humans. They do not tolerate cyborgs because they are half human. They treat some holograms the same if they project in human or humanoid form. They'll hack alters if in range (humans with altered parts). There was even an altered serial killer, a man with a robotic heart and nano's in his brain to help combat dementia, but the Stream hacked him and had him go on a killing spree murdering a lot of humans on the edge of town and so "The Firewall" was put up to draw the line and keep the robots in and the people out.

Red Temple City - Red Temple City is like Newhope's Landing... it's a model society, everything seems perfect but there are the rumors of how the district started and the deal that was made there. Instead of aliens, in Red Temple, there's the rumors of deals with demons and even the devil himself. There are also two cities there, one which is said to be a city of demons, which is largely abandoned but still shows signs of being greatly inhabited. Living expenses there are extremely cheap because it's said to be cursed and there's a lot of talk about what happens to people who move there to try to escape poverty in other areas or to hide out. The other city people talk about there is said to be extremely haunted with ghosts, demons, and d'jinn... and other things, and that there's an underground city there that leads to hell.

Sanctuary - Sanctuary is the religious and spiritual center of the Homeland Territories. There are similar districts all over the world with each religion's territory mapped out and each one gets in where it fits in, even with some more unconventional practices having their own little niche. Still, there in Sanctuary, no matter how they function or grow or operate in each of the other districts or territories elsewhere in the world, they are all working together to maintain oneness. Where they get along they fit tighter together in the center. Where they differ they each peacefully co-exist and branch out on their own in their own spaces. So in the center there is one and everyone see's eye to eye and is able to work out an differences. On the outskirts you get that one religion doing it's thing. It is also rumored to have a secret sect of spiritual warriors that come from the center, but no one will deny or confirm it or what the purpose of such a thing would be, especially since the world is pretty much working out it's differences due to either Family rule or corporations.

Tech (New Tech) - New Tech (or just Tech) is the rebuild of Old Tech. This is where everything leveled up from again after the war.

The Woes (South Magadise) - The Woes is a bit of a no man's land. There's a lot of escaped slaves who have found freedom through there but a lot who have found worse options due to it's proximity to one of the largest fall out zones in The Homeland Territory. For the folks who end up there it's fight the zombies, fight the bounty hunters and slave owners and even Corporations who send in hunters to send people to work or be enslaved in their private prisons, or fight the Cartels and gangs in The Barrio. But every day you can fight is a good day because you're still alive with another chance to find a way out. There are a few pockets of hope which are slowly turning things around there.
