Nevada

Summary
Nevada is a state in more or less the same geographic location it has always been.

Vegas
Vegas (rarely called Las Vegas, although a person would still know what you meant), is the most populous city in Nevada. Divided into five sections, each run by a different Hemisphere-affiliated gang, Vegas enjoys a tentative peace after years of power struggle. Vegas has been rebuilt from the ground up more than once in living memory. Many residents lost one or two parents in the fighting, creating a city of scavengers and war orphans.

The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades is a burlesque and gambling establishment in section five of Vegas. Founded by Miss Madonna Magnifique, since retired, the Ace is now run unofficially by Friday Wilmot, as one of the most senior among the women living and working there. The Ace has an upstairs with living quarters, while the downstairs is reserved for entertainment. A small back patio faces, on the diagonal, the back door of the church where Valerie Lecter is priest.

The Church
The Church, located across the way from The Ace of Spades, is the home of Father Valerie Lecter, who lives out of the back offices. The Church is Catholic in denomination, an old stone structure that has existed since well before the apocalyptic event of 2039. One of the few remaining such edificies in Vegas, it stands out among the newer structures. The church was previously operated by Father Absalom, an overeager patron of the Ace of Spades well known to be corrupt. Ethan Rouse, leader of the Dead-Eyes, burned out the inside of the church during an interview with Val regarding the whereabouts of Cody Allison.
