Juneau

Juneau was the capital of the pre-War Northwest Commonwealth, and is now a major trading hub in the southern Yukon Wasteland.
==Background==
Named after a Canadian miner and prospector, Juneau was a hub for mining, fishing, and tourism before the Resource Wars. The city briefly became a railway hub for US soldiers advancing to the Battle of Anchorage, although Juneau was spared from any direct military action.
==After the Great War==
Shielded by the great Mount Juneau from nuclear blasts, the city was left relatively intact following the Great War. With much of pre-War Juneau's food and supplies being shipped by boat and plane, starvation became rampant throughout the city. Local police and military forces were unable to maintain order as they themselves ran out of food and munitions. By 2102 only a handful of people remained in the former city.
The few residents of Juneau were surprised by the influx of visitors in the 2160s, many travelling through the settlement on their way to make their fortunes scavenging pre-War military equipment and in search of an alleged treasure trove in Alaska. In 2164 a man named Gerald O'Mally realized the fortune that could be made in the ruined city. With a gang of thugs he swiftly took control of the settlement and declared himself the de facto leader. With O'Mally's position in Juneau secured, many travelers were persuaded of the profits to be made off of passing scavengers and treasure hunters instead of being ones themselves. As the new residents improved the infrastructure of the run-down city, so did the time travelers stayed in Juneau and the money they spent.
==Present Day==
By 2220 Juneau has expanded into a notable trading hub in the northern regions of America, as sensible wastelander stops in the town before heading further into the Yukon Wasteland. Even as an elderly man O'Mally still rules with an iron fist from his estate in Juneau. It doesn't take a genius to realize that the old man's time left alive is limited. Many in Juneau are swarming around O'Mally like a hawk, ready to snatch the town as soon as he kicks the bucket. Among these people are O'Mally's chief enforcer Edward Tucket, "Lil' Red" of the Red Dog Casino and Saloon, Tom Smiley of the Juneau Caravan Company, and even mercenaries from the New American Army are rumored to have their own ambitions for Juneau.
