Red Stad, a city in the Darnussian Democratic Republic, has the largest and poorest slums of all Darnussia, known as Nuclear Slums. They are one of the few parts of the old Red Stad that survived the attack and are mainly populated by the poorest members of the society. Life expectancy is low, while crimerates are high, as is unemployment. Michael Reilly (as well as many other famous people) as a young child, lived in these slums with his parents who had immigrated from Kazulia. This explains his early death from cancer.
