Northern Townships (1983: Doomsday)

The so-called "northern townships" are a group of towns in northern former New England that, after Doomsday, saw their best chance of survival as banding together in a sort of confederation. Over the years, they have shown great resistance to joining nearby Vermont and Aroostook. It is believed that this is due to heavy influence from raiders from former Quebec, as well as to that of influential leaders within the communities themselves.

However, the communities have been forced to rely on Vermont and Aroostook more often in recent years for food, clothing and other goods.

The counties comprising the so-called "northern townships", adjacent to Vermont from the south, Aroostook from the east and former Quebec from the north, are:


 * northern Coos in former New Hampshire
 * northern Essex in Vermont
 * northern Franklin in former Maine
 * Franklin in Vermont
 * Lamoille in Vermont
 * Orleans in Vermont
 * Oxford in Maine
 * northern Somerset in Maine

Government
Each town is autonomous, but a central council coordinates all matters involving two or more of the townships.
