"New York State (1983: Doomsday)"@en . . . "New York State was one of the founding states of the United States of America, and was one of the most heavily populated states in the U.S. on Doomsday. It included New York City, which was headquarters to numerous global and national businesses and industries, as well as a leading global cultural, media, and entertainment center. As it turned out, there still is life in former New York State."@en . . . "New York State was one of the founding states of the United States of America, and was one of the most heavily populated states in the U.S. on Doomsday. It included New York City, which was headquarters to numerous global and national businesses and industries, as well as a leading global cultural, media, and entertainment center. New York City was heavily hit on Doomsday; that, and the belief that the northeast U.S. would have been either destroyed by nuclear strikes or covered in radiation from fallout, resulted in the popular (but unconfirmed) belief that no one at all survived in the state, nor in adjacent Pennsylvania and New Jersey. That view was seemingly confirmed when Vermont military expeditions saw no signs of life along the Vermont-New York state borders several years ago. As it turned out, there still is life in former New York State. The following information comes from scouting expeditions made by the Vermont Army and private explorers from South America and Canada, plus information from residents and leaders of recently discovered survivor communities in Pennsylvania. Some information also comes from former members of the St. Lawrence Raiders warlord gang that terrorized Canada and Vermont in the 1980s and 1990s."@en . . . . .
