You've mentioned nukes and big cities, and townships and mutants (I'm assuming the thoroughly-irradiated kind) so I'm thinking everyone in the cities is all crammed in, right?

Give people a little space and some room to build and actually do something productive and it makes a world of difference. There's a reason New Yorkers are so angry all the time back home -- cram a few million people in one small space and toss an alien invasion at 'em every other week -- and a meta fight every other day -- and it makes people a teeny bit cranky.

These townships still irradiated?
