Central Region

The **Central Region** is one of the three regions into which continental America is divided after the events of the Death Stranding.

## Topography

As the largest of the three regions, it is the only one to have more biomes than the other two smaller, divided by a snow-capped mountain range. The Northeast area borders with Ground Zero Lake, which connects the Eastern region by ship, and this is where Lake Knot City is located. Continuing south the region is purely desert and arid with some flat grassy patches, up to a volcanic area, infested by BTs, which ends with a voidout crater filled up with tar, that some speculating it might even be a conduit to the other side or the Beach, near the ruins of South Knot City.

In the northern part of the region, a huge crater is located where Middle Knot City once was. Continuing northwest, a forest hides one of the Homo Demens camps, very active in the region, which leads to a large flat but mainly grassy area. From mid-north west to south is a huge mountain chain covered with snow, an area chosen by some scientists to carry out their research on the Death Stranding. The southwestern part is flat and leads to a broad sea of ​​tar that separates the region with Edge Knot City. The central region has the characteristic of having, in specific points, thermal springs with beneficial properties and a large number of preppers.

Given the size of the region, Bridges began construction of a highway to facilitate travel, which was later completed by Sam Porter Bridges during his expedition. Fragile's father, before his death, started building a racetrack just south of the Timefall Farm, a track only later completed by Sam.
