Mexico City
In the central Pridelands, the worst infected region on the continent, communities survive in the shell of a massive pre-fall city. Mexico City uses the undead as a buffer; miles of shambling dead surrounding the settlement discourage conventional assault better than any wall.
Inside, the city is a labyrinth of scrap metal mazes, heavy stone steps, and primitive man-powered rail lines. Militia snipers guard choke points throughout. A deep cultural divide splits the population between those who embrace ancient jungle cat motifs and modern gun-toting warlords. A gated wall through the center of the city separates the two factions, and the arrangement works precisely because neither side has to look at the other.

Defences
The undead surrounding Mexico City serve as the first line of defense. Inside, militia snipers are positioned at choke points throughout the scrap metal maze. The labyrinthine layout creates natural kill zones, and the man-powered rail system allows rapid repositioning of defenders.
Infrastructure
Man-Powered Rail
A primitive rail system runs through the city, powered by human labor rather than engines or steam. It moves goods and people through the sprawl, connecting the major districts.
The Dividing Wall
A gated wall bisects the city center, separating the ancient tradition faction from the modern warlord faction. Gates allow controlled movement between the two halves.
History
Survivors fortified the pre-fall city's ruins, using the existing infrastructure as a foundation. The scrap metal mazes, stone steps, and man-powered rail system were built over generations. The cultural divide between traditionalists and modernists hardened into a physical wall through the city center.
Geography
Mexico City occupies the shell of a massive pre-fall city in the central Pridelands. The surrounding region is the worst infected in the continent, and the undead serve as an unintentional buffer around the settlement. Inside the perimeter, miles of scrap metal mazes create a defensive labyrinth.
