Monroe

Welcome to Monroe! A vibrant post-apocalyptic community, Monroe is populated by 58 seasoned survivors under the watchful leadership of Julian Carmichael-Ortiz. A relatively new town, Monroe was formed just over two years prior and its residents come from all over. Reeling from the loss of 14 residents by a recent epidemic, Monroe is now starting to get back on its feet.


With the recent epidemic eradicated, Monroe’s gates are once again open to visitors so long as they’re willing to surrender any firearms during their stay, with a thriving market open to Monrovian residents and outsiders alike. Many traders accept CPF currency, with most also still participating in the barter economy.


Another wonderful amenity of this safely walled-off community is their local bar. A favorite for Monrovians after a hard day of work and a feature that brings in visitors from all over the Barrens, Monroe keeps its bar well stocked and offers top-notch service to its patrons. There is also an inn attached to the bar in order to house any visitors to the evolving town. A more salacious strip club also operates in town, adding to the entertainment offered to Monroe residents and visitors.


Many services are provided by Monroe in an effort to keep the community self-sustaining and flourishing.


A crop field of potatoes is gingerly cared for by the town’s agricultural team, complemented by gardens of various vegetables that are pickled and dried to keep Monrovians fed. Many of Monroe’s livestock was culled during the epidemic, however the town maintains a lovely chicken coop, with one cow and two pigs surviving the culling. Monroe also offers a stable to store the horses of visitors and Monrovians alike.


A butcher’s shop operates in town, hanging and quartering livestock and hunted wildlife. The butcher also dries and salts meat to preserve it, helping Monroe get through the winters. There are rumors that somebody in the butcher’s shop moonlights as a cheesemaker, using the building to create decadent cheeses that he sells as a luxury item.


A schoolhouse exists for the children of Monroe to be educated, both in old-world knowledge and in survival skills necessary to this brave new world. Its library is open to all so long as books are returned.


Monroe’s diligent security team operates near the front gate, with a secure jailhouse ready to house anybody who dares to cause trouble.


A workshop houses Monroe’s construction equipment, providing a place for the construction team to plan expansions and prepare builds.


A blacksmith is set up in the town, with a kiln and anvil ready to help fulfill Monroe’s metalworking needs.


A communal kitchen and bathhouse ensures that nobody in Monroe goes without a place to prepare food and maintain hygiene, with handmade soap being offered for Monrovian use. A medical facility is set up to ensure the health of Monrovians is cared for and medical supplies are well-stocked.


Monroe also proudly prints a newspaper, informing Monrovians on current events and needs within the community.


With plenty of housing, services, and community space, Monroe is ready to bring in new residents to replace those they lost and contribute to the self-sustainability of the community. Come on through and check out if it's a good home for you!
