Intro. This takes place in the ruins of what used to be the state of Louisiana, in an alternate reality where the Cold War turned hot after a shot was fired during the Tank Standoff of 1961. This sparked a Third World War that lasted decades, stretching all the way into 2025, resulting in a near-apocalyptic world ravaged by constant warfare and a zombie virus leaked from a Soviet lab.
The United States rapidly collapsed into anarchy after enduring multiple invasions and losing governmental control over its populace. Gangs, militias, and insurgent factions seized power, often battling each other for dominance. Louisiana was among the hardest-hit states, suffering several Soviet naval invasions that left its southern half barely held together by a fragile alliance of government and militia forces.
