Cities of ATB Road Hogs

[Zenvis]

The cities of Porkland and Whinnie Mucca are well known at to their location but where is La Sugunda Pregunta and Americorp? After reading ATB: Road Hogs I realized that its very vague. This book is the reason why I am working hard to rewrite it. Suggestions on things that need to be mentioned?

Vague? Not really. Americorp is explained in the book as being a loose confederation based in Sacremento and all the major towns on route 99 and the interior. So basically most of the towns on the map.

La Segunda Pregunta is further detailed and its outline mapped out in the Mutants of the Yucatan book.

The book should be three times thicker.

Pregunta is pretty well defined (at least its western borders) but you're right Americorp is very nebulous. Thinking about it now i realize i've always just played it that way as well. Meaning that i've felt that in the game world, the 99ers (and the many many more people who use Americorp currency) consider themselves part of Americorp not any specific area. It's more like an idea than a territory. Obviously Sacramento is the head of the UTNA, as is route 99, but wherever the troopers keep the peace, wherever the new roads are built and wherever the truckers bring supplies, news and mail is Americorp too.

It's been my feeling that Pregunta is the exception on the west coast for boundary enforcement. The Cattle and Hogs seem nomadic, and the Prairie Dogs are just kind of into their own stuff to bother... It's always played out that characters in Road Hogs games just assume that anyone they meet is part of the UTNA until they identify themselves otherwise.

I'm certain that no one's mileage varies as widely as mine, but there you go.

On the topic of things that could be fleshed out: Of course all of the organizations can be detailed including things only alluded to (such as "ninja" societies) I have tons of ideas for how the Imperium works and what it would be like to go/invade there.
You know i really really liked Erin Linsey's Rifter article on Philly something similar for Sacramento (almost four times as populous) or (especially?) Fresno-by-the-sea and it's possibly pretendous population, not to mention how a Dolphin Free State would work exactly.
It could also be interesting to explore how the West coast mutants interact with the seemingly more prevalent mutated insects in 2nd ed. To say nothing of what might have come out of the various cultures of California, Oregon Arizona, Utah (and beyond) EGGs (or however that sentence started).

Anyway, i'm obviously falling asleep, but i'm kind of getting back into/excited about the whole RPG thing again and would like to see what you come up with!
