Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is the worlds largest and deepest ocean, formed 750 million years ago with the breakup of the super-continent Rodinia. It divides the Americas from Asia and Australia.

Background
By January of 2073, one of the last known pockets of oil was discovered 175 miles off the coast of California. After sabotaging a Chinese attempt, the Enclave successfully constructed an oil rig directly over this oil. This would eventually become their main base after the bombs fell. The nuclear reactor in the platform produced a lot of waste, which was released into the ocean. This nuclear waste was carried along with the currents, causing devastating damage to the coast of Mexico.

Layout
The Pacific Ocean is found to the west of North and South America.
