	The [[Salish Confederation]], a group of several towns and tribes spread through Skagit Valley, Whatcom County, and the San Juan Islands, is the oldest polity in the Emerald Wasteland. The 2208 Chuckanut Treaty brought together the fishing-based Lummi tribe of western Whatcom and the San Juans, the coal mining settlements of New Whatcom (once Bellingham) and Glacier, and the two agricultural centers of Skagit City and Cedro Crossing under one 'common charter.' Individual governance is still left to each of the five members but trade and diplomacy is negotiated as a democratic collective. Though prospering, the Salish Confederation is nearing an impasse. Their charter is causing friction when attempting to govern a population that has grown well beyond the founders' horizons. The council structure works slowly amid a quickening pace of events. Tensions between towns are rising as regional challenges mount. If the Confederation is to hold together, let alone thrive in the face of the NCR, something has to change.

	~~The [[Republic of Magnolia]]~~ is ~~a corporate republic established out of the well-preserved neighborhood of Magnolia just to the northwest of central~~ Seattle~~. While its sovereign territory is small, its impact on the region is undeniable~~. The ~~Republic~~'s president is [[Caroline Pierrepoint]], who ~~took the position and established the Republic in an ambush hostile takeover of two rival merchant houses. Pierrepoint~~ believes that the Emerald Wasteland will inevitably fall to the NCR, economically or militarily, should it fail to unite itself as one unitary sovereign state. Everything she does is in pursuit of this goal; the ~~Republic's current project~~ is ~~bringing~~ the ~~Wasteland's main shipping concern~~, ~~the Mosquito Fleet~~, ~~into the fold. While Pierrepoint has a good deal of momentum behind her she is also gathering enemies in equal measure~~.		Pierrepoint Industries is an industrial concern headquartered in Seattle. The company's president is [[Caroline Pierrepoint]], who believes that the Emerald Wasteland will inevitably fall to the NCR, economically or militarily, should it fail to unite itself as one unitary sovereign state with a robust industrial base. Everything she does is in pursuit of this goal and she can find it within herself to justify any means to get there. With the resources at her disposal and political instability on the horizon Pierrepoint believes now is finally the time to act upon her plans for political dominance. Whether others will agree with her perspectives and cooperate, however, remains an open question.

	The [[New Altruists]] are an anomaly. What would a shattered, irradiated, mostly pre-electric wasteland want to do with computers? Yet, underneath the wreckage, the veins of a future long forgotten still lie dormant. The New Altruists wish to use them to jumpstart humanity's recovery, nay, ''acceleration'' past its atomic detour. They began with a coalition of prewar technoutopians in downtown Seattle who built — with plenty of government and corporate backing — the Denny Triangle Arcology, a hardened and mostly self-sufficient sphere wherein the most advanced computing technology available enabled this idealistic few to live enmeshed within their network. Two hundred years later, their successors have regained enough footing to announce their grand project: bringing humanity once again to a position of dominance over the planet (and eventually the stars) as quickly as possible and by any means necessary. All is for the best in service of humanity's 'species-potential,' and the charismatic [[Eric Ambler]] is perfectly willing to cut deals with anyone and everyone. Caveat emptor.

	The Emerald Wasteland has a few competing currencies fighting for primacy. The most venerable of these is the bottlecap, backed by the water merchants of the Hub in New California. Because of this, and given that water is more abundant in the Northwest than California, the bottlecap is worth only one quarter what it is down south, and even that's a near miracle. Somehow worse off is the NCR's fiat dollar notes (which runs for 25% of a cap when they're not laughed off entirely), but the old gold NCR dollar coins make for good tender anywhere. The most commonly used currency are gold and silver-backed banknotes printed by the Yamasaki Bank in Seattle's old International District, but some even use banknotes from New Whatcom backed in ''bituminous coal''. One of Caroline Pierrepoint's aims ~~with her Republic of Magnolia~~ is to establish a central standardized currency backed by a gold prospecting push in the far northeast of the state.

Before the war, elements of the United States government formed continuity plans that would ensure their survival even as the world outside burned. The Enclave was the ultimate expression of this on the national scale but in the Northwest the defence organizations that administered the occupation of British Columbia came to the fore.

The Mosquito Fleet (headquartered in Port Townsend) dominates the short-run steamers that flit around Puget Sound while the clippers, still sail-powered for the sake of efficiency, are used for long journeys.

	There are two main political centers of gravity within the wasteland, Seattle and Skagit Valley. Despite this, politics also hinges on one key question that looms over everyone: what is to be done regarding the [[New California Republic]]? This polity is much larger and better organized than any in the Emerald Wasteland, and to many it appears only a matter of time before they turn their gaze northward. Already some Californian investors are looking to put their capital towards Washington-based ventures. To integrate into the NCR could mean prosperity, but it could also mean exploitation as a far-flung and resource rich peripheral territory. To stand independent of it, though, could mean isolation and conflict with a stronger power, bringing its own brand of ruination. The four major players of the region (whether public knowledge or not) have their own answers to this question.
