Geography

Current Map of RUA
Capital- Situated within the Rocky Mountains,
natural barrier encapsulating it.
Wealthiest and most technological
district within the Reformed United
America (RUA for short)

The Choke- Desert mostly, location of factories,
solar and wind energy for Capital. Most work
strenuous hours, and are practical slaves
for the Capital. Second most technologically
advanced district.

Oceania- Producer of fish, hydro energy,
and largest ports for RUA. Little tech, more
old ways of life are accustomed here.

The Plains- Agricultural area of RUA, as well as
livestock. Very nomadic lifestyles, as well
as prosperous. Are closest with the Capital in ideals,
and support all ideas

Sector 9- Smog covered city. Mostly ruins and newly forested areas,
filled with the most impoverished members of the RUA
. Mostly manufacturing and processing. Location where prisoners
are sent to slave away their sentences.

Heavily guarded and surrounded by soldiers due to training locations.
The Wilds- Locations where RUA has abandoned all establishments due to radiation.
Wild people, animals, and ideas are present in these locations, and are rarely habitable.

History

2018-The United States of America has been for years divided and began
to lose organization within. Halfway through the year, the country
officially in war with the Russian superpower, and North Korea.
Known as "The Final War" , its duration only lasted 6 months. The
end result being nuclear inhalation of over 1/3 of the USA, the
Korean Peninsula, and the western half of Russia. However, the
entirety of the world faced a rippling effect.
2019-With the entire west & eastern coasts of the US, along with the
destruction of the US capital and its government resulted in utter
chaos. Civil unrest in what is now The Choke began, and modern Oceania
began to take its southern shape due to the effects inflicted geologically.
This year is known as "The Fallout."
2020-The year of reformation, A increasingly growing movement in The Plains
of supporting the man they proclaimed as the next president, as he held many
of the old government's documents and new ideas. Without much protest, who we
now know as President Waters, took office within the shelter of the Rockies.
Declaring it the new capital of the RUA, as well as drawing the new borders of
what are now called "Districts" however keeping their native names. Things began
to look good for the rebuilding nation.
2022-Two years later, each district was given a "Region" or what was previously
known as a 'capital city.' The Choke- Arizona, Oceania- Houston , The Plains -
Sweetwater, and Sector 9 - Cleveland. Also developing what is now known as
The House, a miniature group of shadowed men who decided any government decision
to little or unimportant for President Waters. Act in his name though.
These regions were to house a official who controlled all policing,punishment,
and registration of citizens. All technology, books, and rations must be permitted
by President Waters or The House.
2024-The Capital finished construction, and is open for any higher class citizen of
The Choke, Oceania, or The Plains to settle. Technology sky rockets in advancement due
to the newly made foreign allies, and immigration begins to increase. This year is known
as "The Golden Age." Government slowly takes more control.
Current Year, 2025-The nation as a whole is thriving, which means the government is also.
Newly made laws for compulsory military service at the age of 18 is now installed. Those
who refuse must be already apprenticing, or started a career that will benefit their region.
Sector 9 has began to see a slight up rise in civil unrest, causing more troop placement in
these locations. Oceania has stayed constantly the same for years as well as The Plains.
And The Choke has seen a rise in modernization due to their large tech production.

Mutant Basics
Mutations depend on an individual’s DNA and (possibly) the environment they are born into/live in. Using abilities requires energy (& calories) and users need to regularly eat in decently sized amounts to use their abilities.

Larger, more powerful abilities require more energy and if used by an individual who has very little energy in their body can harm or kill.

Using major abilities can harm in used in particular ways such as within or above a certain threshold or radius can harm the user

Certain side effects are dependent on the mutation. (e.g. afire-based mutant can send out and explosion of flames but using it too close to themselves or in a large area can cause severe burns or more. Psychic users get head-aches or even pass out and in serious cases even suffer from amnesia. Animistic mutants’ bones and muscles start to strain from the alteration. Optimal users are more susceptible to whiplash(speedsters mostly), broken bones or anything a normal person can feel but amplified.)

Elemental (e.g. fire, metal, ice)

Psychic (e.g. telepathy, telekinesis) Anything to do with the mind or senses. PM APPROVAL.

Optimal (e.g. super-speed, super-strength) Just superhuman versions of abilities/skills normal people have.

Animistic (adopt animal-like looks/abilities. E.g. grow animal appendages or changes into part of the animal (depends on animal) such as claws, tail or armor, or animal like abilities such as sonar, camouflage or a prehensile tail.)
