A.)Geography

The geography of the 20x20 mile wide area the testing will be taking place in has three main types of enviroment listed below.

-The Great Forest:
The Great Forest was originally a national wildlife reservation before the depression and second civil war.  Now, after hundreds of years with no human interaction, the endangered animals of the times before the war have likely boomed in population.  This would probably be your best bet for fresh meat and water.  Running straight through the Great Forest is the SC's half of what used to be the Mississippi river, an actuall extention of the Wissconson river, renamed after the Second Civil War in an attempt to get the citizens to forget the south completely.

-The Highlands:
The Highlands are to the immediate east of the entrance pont.  These hills are filled with natural caves, hot springs, and small rivers.  Extremely dangerous, these should be explored with caution and are not recomended for single pioneers.  Multiple millitary forts were set up within these hills.

-The Grasslands:
To the far south of the testing area is a large flat grassland.  Little is known about these grasslands other than the fact that it was filled large amounts of small towns, long abandoned.  These towns may be worth looking into for usefull items.

C.)What To Watch For

While you are in the Wastes, keep an eye out for the bio-creatures creeated during the war.  These creatures are among some of the deadliest that you will find.  They can also, however, be of great help to you if you know what you are doing.  Follow them from a little ways off while they hunt.  Attempting to tame them is NOT advised, however.  The last thing you are to watch for are signs that could have led to the disapearence of the Second Confederation and the Humans of the SC at that time.  For each piece of usefull information you will be given a reward based upon how large it is.  So, keep your eyes open, and enjoy your new start!
