The Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA) is the last remnant of the pre-outbreak United States government.
Overview
Following the outbreak of Cordyceps Brain Infection (CBI) in late 2014, the Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA) took control of the US Armed Forces and declared martial law, removing all other government departments from power. In order to contain the fungus, FEDRA had the military move all uninfected civilians into large quarantine zones within major cities such as Boston and Pittsburgh.
FEDRA became a military dictatorship, exercising absolute power over the zones, which prompted the creation of the Fireflies, a militia group dedicated to defeating FEDRA, restoring democratic government and finding a cure for the disease.
In the ten years since the outbreak, FEDRA and the US Military have struggled to maintain control of the various quarantine zones due to a combination of growing food shortages, Firefly attacks, and further CBI outbreaks. It is unclear whether or not the Fireflies will be able to take zone control from FEDRA.
FEDRA rule in some zones is worse than others. Boston in particular has extreme levels of security, with soldiers and checkpoints everywhere, and 30 foot high concrete walls with guard towers and searchlights. In comparison the Pittsburgh zone has only a concrete wall topped with razor wire and a handful of checkpoints.
Currently (Season 1), FEDRA still has a strong hold on MOST quarantine zones, but with increased resistance from the Fireflies and citizens, it is unclear how long it will stay this way.
