I'm nowhere near finishing so it will unfortunately miss MOTF 219, but Ive put a lot of effort in, and I'm rather proud of even what's been finished so far
The Shinnecock, Oneida Indian Nation, and a handful of other American Indian Nations join CARICOM, and the wreckage of the US Northeast has become the Northern frontier for many workers and enterprising young folk. Irradiated and full of dead wilderness but also a treasure, with raw resources, recycled goods, and salvaged artifacts flowing down to Port-au-Prince, Belize City, and San Juan to be distributed across the Caribbean, West Africa, and South America. Jointly administered by the US (whose concerns are primarily focused out West with the majority of the population), the region has a variety of folks and factions living within, from Syrian Christians, Pennsylvania Dutch sects, and Ultra-Orthodox Jews living on the fringes of officially occupied cities, to cults, gangs, and anyone else seeking to hide from the law. There are various sorts of travel from canoes and barges (often insulated to protect from radiation still sometimes leaking into the waters), small planes, and a handful of unscrapped railroads, bringing recyclers, kojic acid, and supplies into the worst zones, and bringing out resources like historical artifacts, scrap metal/electronics, and data from sensors and outposts in the region. It's a deadly land, and while recyclers rarely stay for too long, Lenapehoking still remains a place around 560,000 souls, with ~15,000 living in the Exclusion Zones that make up the majority of it's land.
