Arizona (1983: Doomsday)

Arizona was a state located in the southwest and western regions of the former United States of America. It joined the Union on February 14, 1912. Arizona had the sixth-largest land mass in the U.S., and according to the 1980 U.S. Census had a population of 2,716,546. The state capital, and its largest city, was Phoenix.

Doomsday targets
Phoenix itself was targeted with what is believed to have been a single bomb over downtown and another in its suburbs, but there were other targets in the metro Phoenix area on Doomsday.

Luke Air Force Base near Sun City, west-northwest of Phoenix was hit, as was Williams AFB in Chandler, southwest of Phoenix.

Davis-Monahan AFB in Tucson was hit (but apparently not Tucson itself, although the town suffered damage from the strike on the base), along with several targets around Tucson that apparently were missile silos.

One strike was recorded near Eloy, SE of Chandler and NW of Tucson, as was a second in Mammoth, NNE of Tucson, and a third in Nogales, south of Tucson next to the Mexican border.

Fort Huachuca, SE of Tucson and also near the Mexican border, was hit, destroying not only the base but also the adjacent town of Sierra Vista.

Yuma was destroyed by strikes on the Marine Corps Air Station and the Yuma Proving Ground.

Arizona was also affected by strikes on Las Vegas, Nevada.

Post-Doomsday
There is one large survivor state with territory within Arizona's borders: Dinetah, also known as the Navajo Nation, which occupies the northeastern portion of the state.

In 1995, a survivor town was discovered in Prescott, located in central Arizona. It was described by Dinetah scouts as a "classic Old West town", with a population at the time of approximately 4,000. With the signing of treaties between Dinetah and West Texas, attempts to modernize the small town have begun, beginning with an upgrade of medical facilities and farms to current standards.
