Massachusetts was an American state before Doomsday. However, it had suffered multiple attacks, such as:
- Boston: State capital; largest metropolitan area and cultural and economic hub of New England; one of largest and most important cities in the former United States. Several strikes in the vicinity have been recorded.
- Lowell: Manufacturing hub and a major city north of Boston.
- Otis Air Force Base: United States Air Force Base, near Buzzards Bay.
- Fort Devens: US Army post, near Ayer.
- Westover Air Reserve Base: Largest Air Reserve Base in the United States, near Holyoke.
Almost the entire Boston metropolitan area was obliterated.
Successor States[]
There have been multiple survivors confirmed in the state, such as:
- Outer Lands - One of the larger states of the Northeast former United States. Comprised of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Island, Long Island east of Ronkonkoma, Plymouth and Cape Cod.
- Vermont. Exploratory missions by the Vermont Army found survivors in the western Massachusetts towns of Fitchburg, Greenfield, Millers Falls, Orange, Winchedon, Baldwinville, and Gardner, all controlled by warlords. With the help of the Orange warlords, the Vermont Army was able to take down the remaining warlords in this part of the state. The towns were incorporated into counties, and over time they were admitted into the Republic by 1997. Lately there has been talk of those counties reincorporating with Plymouth into either Plymouth proper or a renewed Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Polls show voters wish to remain associated with Vermont.
Former States[]
- Plymouth: Plymouth County managed to remain stable in the aftermath and eventually reorganized into the Commonwealth of Plymouth, fashioned after the Plymouth Colony of old. It now controls Camp Edwards Military Training Base as well. As of 2025, it has resolved its longstanding disputes with the Outer Lands and become its sixth 'borough'. It is noted for being the first (and only) survivor state of US origin to join the ADC, a position inherited by the Outer Lands upon its accession.
