With a current population of 37,000, it is home to Oklahoma State University, and is considered to be the successor state to the original government as the Lieutenant Governor, Spencer Bernard, fled to Stillwater shortly after Doomsday. It was discovered in 1990 by Texan and Mexican Air Force Jets, but has only recently opened itself up to the world.
