The Waste Land

Geography of The Wasteland

Dog Town

Dog Town is the downtown area of the borough. Predominantly populated by African Americans, "Dog Town" was originally not a pejorative term, but referred to the area's favorable location (a dog's place in the sun).

This area is mostly supported by the service industry jobs, through the high-tech incinerator, Ardus Enterpises, lies on its southernmost end. A perpetual black haze from Ardus' smokestacks lies over much of the borough.

Devil's Town

Devil's Town is predominantly populated by white blue-collar workers of Irish and Italian descent. It is a mix of boarded-up businesses and dilapidated brownstone apartments. The main employer on this side of the Wasteland is Mars Electronics, a subsidiary and lone remnant of Nastrum Enterprises.

No Man's Land

The long strip between Devil's Town and Dog Town, No Man's Land is a big abandoned compound where Nastrum Enterprises once stood. The factory buildings here are old and crumbling. The homeless, marauding gangs and rats make their home here. Compared to No Man's Land, the rest of the Waste Land is paradise.

Memorial Park

A small patch of green growing out of the urban decay, Memorial Park is one of the few areas in the Waste Land not completely given over to the ravages of time.

Memorial Park is bordered by Devil's Town to its east, Dog Town to its west and No Man's Land to its north.

The neighborhoods immediately surrounding it are some of the few in the Waste Land that reach out across the racial boundaries dividing the rest of the borough.
