The sprawl is what used to be known as central park, now, it has become a small city of tents and flimsily built shacks in asphyxiating proximity to each other. Next to Salem, the Sprawl is the closest thing in the wasteland to a settlement. It is flanked on all sides by ruins of high rises crawling with mutants and humans alike, trying to etch a living. Caravans go from the shoreline to the south to the sprawl regularly, bringing goods, food, water and ammunition smuggled through the ocean and selling it at inflated prices. The sprawl is considered MLA territory, even though a minority are actual militants, many of the disenfranchised that live there either support the MLA or prefer them to the government. The sprawl is relatively safe from groups of raiders and the gangs that inhabit the rest of the city ruins, not in small part due to the heavy MLA presence there. The Sprawl is divided into two areas, the civilian South Sprawl and the semi-militarized North Sprawl.
