New America's set up in the state, as nasty as it appears to be, is probably a big step up from roving bands of marauders with a penchant for casual cannibalism and xenophobic surviving farmers and such who'd have survived by being even harder and colder than the roving gangs of man eaters.

HS,
Thankfully, casual cannibalism simply doesn't happen in the real world, even in the face of famine. This is a very well-loved (perhaps a little too well-loved) post-apoc theme and a handy way to demarcate the "orcs". Likewise the mythical "urban/suburban surge" where the city folk descend on the countryside and warfare to the death ensues. These are taken as articles of absolute faith by survivalists and the post-apoc genre in general, but I have my doubts it would go down much like that.
