Background

• Earth, an indeterminate number of years in the future.
• The oceans have risen dramatically and the polar ice caps are long gone.
• Geological activity has shifted landmasses and created new ones where the ocean has swept in over the existing land.
• America is separated and much smaller, split into many large islands on the coasts.
• California Marshland is about 400 miles away from the mainland coast.

The Compound

• Set in what used to be the border of Nevada and Utah.
• About 50 miles from the coast.
