Excerpts from the NorthAmerican Road Atlas andSurvival Guide, 3rd Edition

Midville, OhioMidville, Ohio, located about 30 miles south of

Akron, is a small town which has received a great deal ofpublicity in the last several years. With its history of sur-vival against pillagers during the Food Riots, cycle andraider gangs in the 20 years since, and recentralizedgovernment even today, Midville has emerged as repre-sentative of the new American spirit: clever, determined,independent, tenacious and, occasionally, vicious.

HistoryBefore the Food Riots, Midville was a fairly typical

small community serving the local agricultural area. Withthe advent of the Riots the town, under the leadership ofmayor Al "Shiner" Cordray, organized into theequivalent of a military command center, linking its im-mediate environs with a series of short-wave radios andobservation posts. An armaments raid on the local Armybase just prior to its being abandoned is also "credited"to Cordray; while this has never been proven, historyshows that the first raiders to venture into Midville metresistance ranging from pitchforks to heavy artillery.

To counter the growing cycle gang menace, Midvilleformed its own guerrilla security force in 2018. The Mid-ville Security Regulars (affectionately known as theMashers) were precursors to the contemporary MidvilleOperatives for Neighborhood Defense Ordnance (or

MONDOs). The Mashers were responsible for thedevelopment of now-common anti-cyclist tactics such asthe Barbed Wire Howdy, the Trench Foot Opening, andthe Kamikaze Oops. Their activities were responsible forMidville's categorization as a Fortress Town, the firstsuch AADA classification granted to an unwalled, multi-ple-access urban area.

This, too, was when Midville began to get extensivemedia coverage, as the flamboyant Cordray, in hisrenovated APC, the Sarah Bellum, began his series of as-saults on regional raider headquarters. (The ruins of theSarah and an associated monument can be viewed on 1-77three miles south of Bolivar.)

Midville TodayMidville is still a fairly typical small community serv-

ing the needs of a large agricultural area. About 1,000people live within the city limits, but some 3,000 in-dividuals from the immediate area consider themselvesMidville residents.

Midville probably would have just been another smalltown in middle America if it hadn't been for its residents'success in discouraging cycle gang attacks. The storycame to the attention of the fledgling United BroadcastingNetwork, which bought the rights to produce a mini-maxi-miniseries based on the town's defense. The show,Crash City, proved to he so popular that it was turnedinto a regular series — then it became a broadcastingphenomenon. For over seven years people all over NorthAmerica have been tuning in every Friday night to watchthe Midville MONDOs defend themselves against BlackJesse's Crusaders (who, ironically, share in the contractfees and residual payments — Black Jesse has comfortab-ly retired to a small house near Alliance, Ohio).
