Cowboy Country

Cowboy Country is the colloquial term for what remains of the state of California following the War of 2069.

During the War of 2069
During the war, a large invasion force loyal to Forrest landed in the Bay Area. Simultaneously a mass uprising of members of the Cult of the Orange Guardian left many of the major cities undefended, or even welcoming the invasion forces. Without adequate support from the US Marines, most of whom were sent to stem the main assault from Marrowstone Island, the state rapidly fell to Forrest's minions.

Post-War
After the war, most of those still loyal to Forrest retreated back to his lair on Marrowstone Island, although some remained in order to prevent the US from retaking the state entirely. Cowboy Country is now mostly ungoverned wasteland, and is a frequent site of battle between the US Marines, bandits, and the remaining cultists and demons.

Recently, Panthera Amazing has been attempting to reunite Cowboy Country into a new nation in order to defend itself against threats from both the Cult and the US Marines. This fledgling republic has had limited success due to the rugged, individualistic nature of the cowboys.

Notable Locations
The disputed territory of Montecito lies along the coast of Southern Cowboy country. The Vortex Portal is also located here.
