Badlands

The Badlands (W'reean: الإبادلنضس Al'Badlandis), officially the W'reean Territory of the Badlands (W'reean: ترتر صار الإبادلنضس وقرين), is a territory located in Western Chummerope. It is a territory of its only bordering country, W'ree. The territory was created in 1951 when W'ree was testing out Hydrogen-based nuclear weapons and "accidentally" detonated the weapons on part of it's own land, turning the affected area into an unviable and infertile un-inhabitable zone. Everyone residing in the area at the time was killed, few bodies were recovered because for almost 20 years the area was too toxic to enter. Prior to 1951, The Badlands were a part of the W'reean coastline, notable for several resort towns which were much less strict than the rest of W'ree, even allowing gambling and drinking in certain designated zones.

Today, only W'reean government officials are legally permitted to enter the Badlands. Some foolhardy treasure seekers do attempt to enter the Badlands on occasion, but this is usually in vain. Also, W'rees most dangerous criminals are housed in the heart of the Badlands in Jasir Prison (about 1,250 inmates or half the Badlands' population).
