Diplomacy
Demographics
This camp accepts Others and Awakened, they make up about 25% of the population. They do not allow Zombies to live on the property as a general rule. With the proper permits, a doctor can keep a single living Zombie as a test subject. However, they generally use samples or kadavars for their research rather then taking the risk of having a Zombie in the camp. There are also automatons living in the camp. They make up about 1% of the population. They generally keep to themselves, staying in the power building unless they are needed elsewhere.
Government
The High Chairman is the ruler of the camp with 4 Chairmen that serve as advisers. These are always people who have been educated in the medical arts in some fashion and thus can serve to guide the camp towards achieving their goal of finding the cure.
Defences
There is a stone wall around the perimeter of the camp. The wall is always manned to prevent it from being scaled. The only way into the camp is through the parking access which is heavily gaurded.
Industry & Trade

- Medicine and cybernetics are their primary export items.
- There are times that they have a surplus of food that will be traded.

Infrastructure
The Main Hospital building is powered by the nucluar generator attached to the hospital and maintained by the automatons. The surrounding buildings enjoy power through battery packs that are rationed out as part of the camp's payment for service. These battery packs can be used to run any number of electric devices such as lights, computers or radios.

They are raised for the purpose of farming eggs rather then chicken meat. When a hen's egg laying capacity declines, they kill that chicken for its meat. They also grow a variety of crops.

They have a fully functional medical facility. It is limited by what is available for medical supplies and by the knowledge of the current doctors working there. They have a farm that is able to support those living in the camp. Medicine and cybernetics are their most valuable commodities as they are not generally available elsewhere. Within the Hospital district, there is the New Medical Library. Every medical text that has been found has been added to this library and copies have been made to ensure the survival of the knowledge.
