Puerto Vallarta was at one point famous across north america, and even the world. Incredible beaches, beautiful views, some of the finest resorts on the planet were here. This even stayed after the american invasion, even if it was visited by more americans than before. It was truely wonderful, before the war. Now?

Well now it’s heavily irradiated, the winds are high speed and rarely stop and carry salt in it that irritates the skin. In especially harsh storms, that happen almost every other day they can even cut you, meaning being exposed is a very idea. It rains nearly constantly, sparking debates among the soldiers on how the hell radiation even causes such weather changes, especially so localized.

There were locals, dispite all this. They mainly lived off fishing and sailing of all things; the weather often brought up items or fish close to the surface, allowing easy access to those skilled enough to do so. They lived in the large building still remaining, like the hotels which have largely survived from the durable nature of their design and old world engineering. They were a rough bunch, hardened by the hardships of their lives and also litteally from all the salt.

Attempts to get them to join the Diktat were mixed. They didn't want to join, but at the same time were willing to do work for the Diktat in exchange for trade. The soldiers also couldn't kill them or use force as they were not prepared to fight in these conditions. In addition, killing the sole people who might know how to actually use the ports was a bad move overall. Thus the Diktat maintains a small outpost in the city, as they get the port rebuilt, owning it less by actually doing so and more because no one is actively contesting it or will complain if they say they do on the next series of maps.
