| abstract | - Following the Atomic Wars of 2070 most of the United States became a radioactive wasteland. With only the three Mega-Cities surviving (on the East Coast, California, and Texas), the remainder of the country became known as the "Cursed Earth". Although considered unfit for human habitation, the Cursed Earth is populated by all manner of creatures, scraping a living in a tough environment. Since the Atomic Wars, genetic mutations appeared, but mutants are banned from living in the cities, so they are forced to make their homes in the Cursed Earth. The communities are mostly poor, rural groupings with no industry, often dominated by quasi-religious movements. In more extreme cases, these communities become cults organised well enough to threaten Mega-City One as a revenge for the way the city has treated these outcasts.
- It is Known to be a large area of blasted radiation wasteland that covers the majority of the United States, formed from the fallout of the Atomic Wars. The Terrain in the Immediate Area at the walls of Mega City One are devoid of any life or vegetation. This section resembles the Sahara Desert but further deeper into the Cursed Earth, the terrain changes noticably and you begin to see trees and different types of vegetation where ever there are fresh water sources. This section resembles more like shrub-land like the Kalahari Desert. Judges who survive long enough to retire are offered a choice of either teaching in the Academy of Law, taking a desk job or taking The Long Walk , where the retiring judge is provided with weapons and provisions and sets off into the Cursed Earth to bring the Law to the lawless. Judges who feel that they are not fit to serve the city anymore may opt to resign and take the Long Walk as a form as pennance.
