Colosse, Dixona
The large southern city in whose suburbs I was raised. Colosse has a metropolitan area that is in the top 25 of the country and it’s generally a bigger place than most people realize. The home to the statehouse, multiple major league sports teams (including baseball’s Colosse Canes and hockey’s Dixona Dragons), and Southern Tech University.
Deseret, State of
Large western state known primarily for its large Mormon population. 80% of the state’s population can be found within ten miles of I-13, which vertically cuts the state in half. Deseret’s capital is Gazalem.
Dixona, State of
The southern state in which I was raised, known primarily for it’s largest city and capital, Colosse. The state was originally settled by German Catholics and its roots are evident. The western portion of the state is dominated by Colosse. The central and northern parts of the state are rural south. The eastern part of the state is called Bavariana due to its Germanic character.
Estacado, State of
A geographically large but not highly populated south in the inland southwest of the United States. We moved to the area in 2006 and will be here for a year or two. I live in the state’s largest city of Santomas and work in the city’s capital of Almeida.
Fort Beck, Deseret
Fort Beck is actually a section of the town of Zarahemla. Clancy and I lived right on the border of Fort Beck. Fort Beck housed the American soldiers sent to rein in the early Mormon settlers to the area. The fort was closed and converted into Beck State University.
Mocum, Deseret
The town in Deseret where I worked when we lived out there. It was about 30-40 miles away from Fort Beck and Zarahemla, where I was living out there. Mocum is a much more religious town than Zarahemla and the home to a surprising number of white collar jobs.
Santomas, Estacado
A city of about half-a-million in the heart of the state of Estacado in southwestern America. As the home of the University of Estacado and the main job center of the state, it’s full of young people both students and graduates. It is known throughout the state as the hotbed of urban liberalism.
Tangramayne, Dixona
The suburb of Colosse in which I was raised. Tangramayne is the site of one of the Air Force’s R&D laboratories so a significant portion of the population works either for the Department of Defense or a contractor.
Zarahemla, Deseret
A small city of less than 100k people. Despite a significant Mormon population, Zarahemla has the reputation among the more pious Deseretians as a den of iniquity. It’s one of the few liberal-leaning places in the state outside the capital city, due mostly to the college located within the city, Beck State University.
