*cracks fingers*
Okey-dokey lets get to work.
Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
Pros
Infrastructure
-Lots of warehouses in multiple areas. Everything from scrap metal and junked cars to trucks and other useful goodies. These should last until expansion brings us extra minerals.
-If anarchy ensues after event, then many easily defendible locations to hole up in until it dies down (e.g. AAMI stadium or several of the larger buildings in the city).
Environment
-Incredibly easy to get around. Most roads are quite wide and almost all tunnels are built to accomodate trucks.
-Low level of pollution.
-Close to ocean so water source.
-Great soil for vegetation.
-Lots of space for expansion.
-Many animals in surrounding area. If very few people survive the anarchy, then hunting might be enough to feed the population.
-Decent natural ports.
-Surrounding region (outside the Adelaide Hills, which incidentally, make a great natural defense) is mostly farmland, and infrastructure exists to easily produce enough food for the population.
-Adelaide Hills may be suitable for wind turbines.
Population
-Large number of people posess handyman skills. Quite a lot of tradies down here.
-A lot of farmers and older people wo retired from being farmers to teach the younger generation.
Cons
-Large elderly population compared to other cities.
-No easily accessable infrastructure for power generation.
