Safe-Zones

The Superior 16
The Superior 16 were 16 safe-zones set up by the US Government and Military in mid 2022 for 16 states that had seen a 25+% infection rate. There were plans for even more across all states, though this was abandoned after the collapse of society and power. These 16 were documented to be in:


 * Albany, New York (overrun)
 * Austin, Texas (defunct - unknown cause)
 * Denver, Colorado (defunct due to rationing and supply cuts)
 * Lansing, Michigan (defunct due to conflict with other groups)
 * ***Louisville, Kentucky *still active as of 2027
 * Newark, New Jersey (overrun)
 * Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (burned down by unknown)
 * Phoenix, Arizona (defunct due to water cuts)
 * Raleigh, North Carolina *still active as of 2027
 * Richmond, Virginia (defunct due to unknown virus that killed 50%)
 * Sacramento, California *still active as of 2027
 * Salt Lake City, Utah (defunct due to a flood and earthquake)
 * Seattle, Washington *still active as of 2032
 * Springfield, Illinois (overrun)
 * St. Louis, Missouri (defunct due to conditions - population migrated to Kentucky)
 * Worcester, Massachusetts (defunct due to conflict with other groups)

Of all original 16 safe-zones, only 4 still operate with only 1 still using the US Military; Seattle. In 2027, atleast 8 were still active including Utah, meaning atleast 4 went defunct between 2027-2032. It is possible the Missouri chapter was active during 2027. The motto for the Superior 16 is 'Reclaim. Revolutionise. Reconstruct." It is estimated that about 75% of Seattle is of the safe-zone, compared to just around 25-50% of the other 3 surviving superior safe-zones.
