States and Territories of the Great Frontier

This is a list of all the **states and territories** in the Great Frontier.

The Great Frontier compromises seven U.S. states (South Victoria, New Brussels, Lauriella, New Empire, Roanoke, Oconee and Florence), four U.S. territories (Orgullo, Teloma, West Lakota and Jefferson Territories) and two Mexican states (the states of Sierra and Chupacabra). Each state and territory have special landmarks, locations, as well as nature. There are a total of thirteen different states and territories, two of which are in Mexico.

## United States

### States

#### South Victoria

South Victoria, known as the Centennial State, is known for its Rocky Mountains and natural beauty. South Victoria is split in two. People refer to the Western Slope which covers South Victoria’s elevated and mountainous terrain. There, you’ll find the cities of Wildberry and South Park. To the east are the Great Plains, home to Bullock. South Victoria has lots of things to do, good jobs and a large military presence.

#### New Brussels

New Brussels is an interesting state. To the west is cowboy country, home to rolling hills, scattered buttes, rocky outcrops, and open plains. With rugged and mountainous terrain, the east is a heavily forested area. The hills are abundant with coal and precious metals, making mining one of the main professions in the area. For its size, New Brussels doesn’t have much people, being the least populous in the Great Frontier. If you don’t like being around people and you like the outdoors, New Brussels is for you,

#### Lauriella

Lauriella has a bunch of nicknames, but the one that most people know it by is the Great Bayou. This is where you’ll find the cities of Rhome and New Toulouse. It is also where the Kennesaw River ends and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. It’s got a lot of history, but a bunch of poverty, racism and swamps. Keep that in mind when you visit this state.

#### New Empire

New Empire is a very interesting state because most people not from the country don’t realize that New Empire City is not the entire state. New Empire City has nearly all of the population of the state, but only a fraction of the land. It is known as the Empire State and it is a melting pot. The first place immigrant hear they should move to is New Empire. You will find every creed, race, sexual orientation, religion, mental disorder and profession.

#### Roanoke

Over the last handful of years, Roanoke has been growing into a prominent state. Lincolnville Is the state’s only major city, however. Most people think of that city because of it’s night life, culture and history. However the city isn’t all that great. The history is cool, the city? Not so much. The city is home to plantations and manors.

#### Oconee

Just north of Florence, you have Oconee. Known as the Apple State. Oconee is one of the southern states and it’s biggest city is Athens. It is also a state that has a big military presence. Thee days, they’ve got a lot of political turmoil. Oconee is also home to the beautiful city of Muskogee, home to a large railroad hub and port.

#### Florence

Florence is known as the Sunshine State because they got a lot of it. They also get a lot of hurricanes and alligators. They’re also known for having a lot of plantations throughout the state and having St. Catherine, the oldest city in the United States. It also has amazing nature and wildlife, serving as a mix of Lauriella and Oconee.

### Territories

#### Orgullo

Orgullo Territory is not a great place to live according to every survey that’s ever been taken, and personal accounts. The territory is nearly untamed with little law enforcement in the country. Outlaws run politics in the territory. The territory is where we keep Sanford and Reno. Sanford is the major city of Orgullo. Orgullo is a good sized, square territory, but does not have a large population. Outside the two towns, there is harsh desert.

#### Teloma

Teloma is a southwestern territory. It is mostly desert even though it does have some mountains and some hills. But for the most part is known for its deserts. It is also known for its outlaws and the Grand Canyon. It is yet another untamed and lawless territory. Teloma is also bordered by Mexico to the south, which allows for Mexicans to illegally enter the United States.

#### West Lakota

West Lakota is a lot like neighboring Jefferson, just completely different. They actually have terrain features. Really the only thing they have in common is a border and some plains. West Lakota is where you find the largest mountains of the Great Frontier. West Lakota is a great territory if you like doing things outdoors, because there is very little civilization in this territory, largely due to its terrain and harsh winters. The only two settlements in West Lakota had to be abandoned because of winter storms.

#### Jefferson

Jefferson is a strange territory. It is one of the northernmost territories of the Great Frontier and it’s really never caught on. They have little places with population and it’s largely a territory with open land and an Indian reservation. When we say it’s never caught on, it means there’s never been a major migration there. They’ve had little spurts when oil was discovered, but there’s never been a sustained migration. It is definitely known for brutal winters

## Mexico

### States

#### Sierra

Sierra is pretty close to Lauriella when it comes to poverty. Sierra’s got some problems, and most of it stems from its lawless status. But, if you like the desert, it’s hard to find one as beautiful as Sierra.

#### Chupacabra

Chupacabra is a state that’s been built on mining. These days it’s an all around ranch state, where cattle rustling is an infamous crime. Mining still plays a big part and so does industry. A lot of manufacturing and exporting goes on in Chupacabra. It’s not all outlaws and guns, well at least not outlaws. Guns? It’s like everyone in Chupacabra has to own a gun. Chupacabra is one of the most moved-to Mexican states, and it has been since the 1840s.
