The South-Eastern Archipelago Livment (SEAL)

The South-Eastern Archipelago Livment (SEAL)
The South-Eastern Archipelago Livment, or SEAL, is the region of the North American Sprawl that roughly corresponds to the "South-Eastern" region of the former United States of America. The SEAL follows the coastline of the North American Continent beginning and ending in the former sights of Charleston, South Caroline and Mobile, Alabama, respectively.

The twelve meters of sea level rise experienced by the Earth's oceans in the previous century has transformed most of that coastline into a chain of small islands, or an archipelago. The land that remains a part of the discrete landmass of the continent is now dotted with lakes of varying size.

The SEAL does not fall entirely in the jursdiction of a single managing organization, rather, a great variety of entities administer sections, thus it is host to a number of different political,  economic, and cultural climates. While these "climates" vary widely in character, the SEAL's status as a major hub of commerce and technology means it has a comparatively high amount of administrative development. In this, it enjoys a score 93 on the "Global Stability Index" (GSI), one of the world's highest. Despite this high average score, the SEAL is not without it's pockets of lawlessness.
