-Arkham, Massachusetts profited by the move of the east coast stock exchange from New York to Boston. Several companies that wanted to be close to the exchange but who didn't want to pay the high Boston costs picked Arkham as a new home. That doesn't mean there haven't been hard times. In the early 2050s, a series of terrorist bombings destroyed much of New Hope, a district just south of downtown. In recent years, part of New Hope has been rebuilt but much of the work was shoddy. People who bought the property quickly sold it. The rebuilt section of New Hope is unofficially known as Orktown.

 The Tuskers claim that any ork above the age of 13 and under the age of 21 is a member of their gang. In actuality, they number about twenty active members at anytime. Their strength lies in their ties to the local community. They can be wild, but they believe in protecting their fellow orks against the "breeders" who mean them harm.

-A series of explosions due to a terrorist effort left New Hope a burned out wreck of a district. Even those buildings that didn't collapse were soon abandoned. Several years ago a half-hearted effort was made to restore the area, which resulted in about a third of New Hope being leveled. Substandard tenament housing was built. That section of New Hope became universally known as Orktown.

 * <b>California Free State</b> (CFS): Originally kept as part of the United States by the Treaty of Denver, California was expelled from the UCAS in 2036 to avoid the expense of protecting and aiding a distant state in the midst of an economic depression. After the expulsion, several neighbors invaded (including Japan), nibbling away at California and Las Angeles succeeded to become a free city. It is a nation in disarray with a weak government, making it a good staging ground of smuggling and criminal groups in North America. The capital is Sacramento.
