Arizona

Arizona is a state within the United States of America.

History
The state has surprisingly little problem with smuggling goods from Mexico are generally targeted to markets in the Appalachians or the Californians, and Arizona is on a convenient route to neither. Because of this they don't need field a significant border patrol force, and the state therefore has that much more money to spend on internal development. There a domed city called Alpha appeared seemingly overnight (during the Collapse, when no one was watching) the purpose is remains a mystery but observers point out that Alpha has been built on the research of previous self-sustaining colonies, like the Bio 1 experiments.
