Battle Action Harem Highschool Side Character Quest (No SV, you are the Waifu)

Reader mode
Edmonton don't fit either by base population or mood (even if generation passed since EVERYBODY DEAD).

Banff have nice sheltered position mid mountains (so given Anna's abilities can easily be moved IN mountains), good source of water and I can easily guess where refugees came from.

equidistant from Saskatchewan, Fairbanks and Los Angeles Breaches.

I am pretty sure that the Breach was called a Portland Breach - though, looking at the map, it seems about halfway between Vancouver Island and Gulf of California, so, like, Redding or something. If it was equidistant between those three, looking at Google Maps, Anna's hometown is somewhere in the middle of BC, which roughly translates as nowhere in my city eyes. Houston, maybe?

Which is also why Anna has a near-religious experience whenever she can indulge in pancakes and maple syrup. If she were Quebecois, there'd be wars started over the quality of the syrup, too.

Fark.

Yeah well uh, after thinking hard about the subject for the Nth time and regretting not making Anna just come from like, Edmonton or something, I'm just going to wave the old alt timeline stick and say that the town she is from doesn't exit otl at all.

Just say it was made Post Impact by survivors, or that Anna moved it to a better position after the Antagonists started attacking.

This. It'd make a ton of sense to relocate away from existing settlements to avoid detection. It'd also explain why no one saw them. They were looking at existing settlements.

Honestly, this mistake of yours actually jives with my headcanon for this quest's sub-meta layer.

The guy who made Anna Sanchez originally wanted her to be from California, but submitted his final draft to a person who said, "This a Simo Hayha expy or something?" The writer had never heard of Simo Hayha, so he looked him up and promptly fell in love with his badass, leading to Anna Sanchez becoming Alaskan (the closest he could come to Finland without leaving the US) at the last moment. In his haste to make his edits, he didn't do proper research and thus Anna's hometown is in a national park.

US is still around Post impact actually, just missing Florida.
Can't say the same about Singapore though.

The land mass yes the government no. Unless they managed to all evacuate to Hawaii.

Edit: Actually scratch that. I think Hawaii would be gone as well thanks to the ocean rise. Or at the very least a good portion would be underwater

Until Antags US could survive on sheer inertia. Too big, entrenched enough and so on. After though...

At the very least, Anna did. :V

The map on first page says they're relatively intact from the impact.
Unless there's a Great Albertan Crater we're not seeing.

Also this.

In any case, I meant post-"Antagonists landing, becoming a general, noisy nuisance, and screwing with the ability of humans to live on the North American continent, which would eventually lead up to the destruction of Anna's home".

I guess post-Breach also works.

You got the order wrong, the whole inciting incident for Anna being in Perth is that the UN launched a reconquest of the North American continent. Everything in the deep blue was red a few months ago.
I mean aside from the fact that missing the east half of the US is apparently intact.

Yeah but if that counts then people who lived overseas but had American citizenship is justification to argue that the US was intact.
 
It's been stated several times that the US and Russia's deadman's switches went off immediately after Impact, so the parts of the US that escaped the actual impacts got nuked to shit. It's also been stated that the Breaches interfere with radio transmissions, so it was impossible to communicate in the interior of the North American continent.

So, you see, the US and Canada completely collapsed after Impact. It's specifically stated that as of ~2 years before the Antagonists poured out of the Breaches - 44 years after Impact - the UN was still searching for scattered enclaves of survivors with "glacial" progress, hindered by the "extremely energetic" radio emissions from the Breaches. Their search hadn't gotten far past Denver, Colorado, or Cincinnati, Ohio.

At the time of the Antagonists' attack the US wasn't even close to having recovered enough to be called a country again and Canada was even worse off.
 
Speaking of nukes:
@Avalanche - I don't know if you ever saw it but the US released a map a number of years ago based upon their estimates of what the most likely targets were in a nuclear exchange. Purple triangles are the primary targets that would be attacked in a 500 warhead scenario while the black circles are secondary targets that would be hit in a 2,000 warhead scenario.

Since we're talking about a mostly full nuclear exchange I'd expect the distribution of nuclear blasts to cover both the triangles and circles.
