Welch

Welch is a location in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Before the war, Welch was a mining town where workers from various mines in the area lived. Shortly before the War, Atomic Mining Services evicted the towns residents, stating they had mineral rights to the entire town. Those who resisted were violently removed by AMS security. The Charleston Herald sent reporters to investigate, but they found the town occupied by armed guards, and were promptly escorted from the area "by armed men, wearing AMS logos."
