Berkshires (1983: Doomsday)

The Berkshires is a town led by the survivors of Doomsday.

Doomsday
When the first nuclear strikes came in 1983 Boston was hit. Millions died. The survivors fleed west toward the Berkshires. Along the way the survivors were attacked by raiders. More people died. And more people died from starvation. The people started fighting each other. It was total chaos.

Post Doomsday
When the people reached the Berkshires small communities formed. The communites formed alliances with each other. Soon wars soon erupted with spears and arrows as few had guns. Soon radiation desease started. Many people died. More people suffered from it. Raiders stated attacking the settlements. The settlements were on a verge of collapse until a man named Chris Jackson had a meeting with the leaders of the settlements. He told them to survive they must unite. Nobody believed him until a settlement had been looted and burned. 15 people were dead. This made the survivors unite. Jackson told the engineers to build weapons. Meanwhile the people were training too be in good physical condition. When the engineers returned the Militia got ready. More raiders entered the settlements. As they entered, bullets whistled at them. The raiders paniced as raiders died around them. The raiders retreated. However militiamen hidden in the trees shot more raiders. The raiders left. The militia cheered as they won their first victory. After the victory Jackson told the people to build forts to protect the settlements. Now the settlers felt like they had united. They made the flag of the Berkshires. The motto was first said by a young man to his family:

We are survivors!

In 1987 the settlements were officially cities. There were only 3: Jackson City, South Mountains, and New Berkshire. In 1988 a vote was held for the capital city. Jackson City won the vote. So on October 4, 1988 the Capital City Document was signed which officially stated Jackson City as the capital.
