Chicago (Attack Machines)

Chicago is a city that somehow survived Kraventhorn but had little luck in conservation efforts. For a start it had a post-Purge population of 175, despite being the largest city in the Midwest. Efforts of finding survivors were considered fruitless and they decided to settle on a new government. With the ongoing development of telecommunications in the Reformed United States of America and the successful picking of signals from New York in the 1960s, aware of the existence of someone else far more powerful than they, it became the capital of the Federation of the Great Lakes, doing a Kitanihon by spreading through a vast territory yet having reduced population, the majority of whom lived within Chicago itself.
