Colorado has been fortunate to have been sparred some of the more destructive elements that have plagued the land. It has avoided the most devastating Canadian raids buy moose men, has not received too much trouble from the dogzilla creatures of Las Vegas. But buy far the most incredible thing about Colorado is that its capital, Denver, is the only city that has not descended into chaos or the grip of militia control. It is, really, the only free city left in our former country.

It is kind of ironic to see that a city so close to military positions in the Rockies and an important east-west trade route could be so mellow. In Denver people are well aware of the hardship surrounding them but for some reason remain confident that they will not be troubled by it. They is this feeling among the locals that if their city could avoid being nuked it can avoid anything, and it seems to be working out for them. The military tore itself apart after the bombs went off and walked right through Denver on their way to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, where many were killed with radiation poisoning. Not one member of Denver was ever diagnosed with radiation even though it drifted well over the Plains. As a result there were almost no zombies reported in Denver, or in most of Colorado.
The infrastructure in Denver was never dismantled, local government was still in effect. Denver even was able to hold mayoral elections a month ago. Wastelanders who visit the city for the first time cannot believe there is no wall around the city to protect it from zombies. People of Denver hope that their city will serve as a reminder of what humanity once was, and what it can become again.
