I made this detailed map using a couple of less detailed maps from the Jericho Wiki, and it gives an accurate assessment of the current situation in the continental US as of April 1st, 2007 - Six months after the first wave nuclear terrorist attacks took out 23 US cities on October 1st, 2006. There are major spoilers on the map though, so don't enlarge it if you don't want to know how things turn out in Season 2:
There's been no news from Alaska or Hawaii, but no indication that they've been attacked either. They are currently unaligned.
The President of the former United States (in the process of reforming) which now consists of 27 states east of the Mississippi River, is headquartered in the new US capital of Columbus, Ohio, which was supposed to be destroyed in the first wave of attacks by Robert Hawkins' nuclear bomb that he now has stored in Jericho.
The attack on New York City was also foiled by Hawkins alerting the FBI.
North Korea and Iran were blamed for the attack and "wiped off the face of the Earth" by then rogue A.S.A. President John Tamarchio and his forces which took control of nuclear silos near Cheyenne, Wyoming (possibly Warren AFB and its Minuteman III silos). They also launched two ICBMs at unknown targets to the Northeast. They claimed they were forced to respond when the US government and the EU refused to take action before a full investigation into the attacks was completed, but in reality Tamarchio and his supporters (like the head of Homeland Security) were responsible for the attacks themselves in an effort to makeover the US into their NeoCon image. History books are being rewritten to say that the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam were failures due to the the lack of resolve to use nuclear weapons. The era from immediately following WWII through 2007 is called "The Decline of the Republic" on the new school textbooks.
A disease called the Hudson River Virus has spread Westward from the Northeast and has killed untold thousands very quickly. It has jumped the UN controlled "Blue Line" of the Mississippi River and is now attacking selected cities in the ASA in Eastern Kansas. Mortality rate in extremely high and the disease spreads fast. A vaccine is available, but it is controlled by the Jennings & Rawl Co. (think Halliburton) and their subsidiary Ravenwood Solutions, which is the mercenary group that attacked Jericho, New Bern, and Rogue River, Kansas previously. Ravenwood has become the bully force for the new Allied States government when normal military troops won't do. I speculate that the Hudson River Virus might be a mutated airborne strain of the West Nile Virus because that virus was initially called the Hudson River Virus (in real life) before being identified as West Nile. The HR Virus might be a means of destroying the ASA's enemies since so far it has only attacked East of the Mississippi and Western states could be vaccinated by Ravenwood but they don't always allow it. I speculate that they're using it to pacify potentially rebellious towns and cities.
The Jericho / New Bern "War" was ended by ASA military forces, but not before Jericho lost 65 people and New Bern lost around 100. Mayor Constantino was allowed to return to New Bern alive but was stripped of his title.
Jake Green was made the new Sheriff of Jericho, with his brother as acting Mayor while Gray goes to Cheyenne for the new Constitutional Convention.
Cheyenne, Wyoming, the new ASA capital, is now a bustling boomtown with over 800,000 people and growing.
Texas is an independent republic surrounded by the ASA but with enough firepower to hold its own for now, but it's angling towards joining the ASA. Hawkins new mission is to bring proof of Tamarchio's and the Secretary of Homeland Security's treachery to the Texans so they will instead join the United States government.
The initial death toll of 15 million plus 40 million homeless comes directly from ASA controlled news reports, but in fact casualties might be much higher. That number is rising rapidly due to possible other cities destroyed (but unconfirmed), the Hudson River Virus, starvation / exposure, and violent clashes between towns and the six former rogue nations that later conglomerated into the ASA, USA, and Texas.
Love it!
What Can I say,, I hate traitors.
