Atacadero - shandon area
The NDP controls the area and is rumored to have extensive underground bunkers and facilities in keeping with their motto : bread - bullets - bunkers for all.
The area is closed and al approaches are heavily mined and guarded. Anyone caught without authorization is apprehended for "processing" by the numerous NDP combat patrols.
A few successful escapes have occurred from the area, some bringing news of terrible oppression and total control of the populace in the maze of bunkers and cellars.
The NDP has gradually ben beaten back and evicted from most of their former strongholds and they assert control over the areas within their reach only nominally due to the ever increasing lack of resources. But the Atascadero - Shandon area is the heartland where the corn fields still burgeon with harvest, the herds graze peacefully tended by happy farmers and the NDP troops parade smartly in great numbers every day.
Nobody knows how much Haussmann has stockpiled in the main bunker nicknamed "the Hive". Scouts regularly report of aviation assets being used from the area, helicopters as well as CAS aircraft.
