Nova Praetoria: Where is it?

I mean, yes, obviously it's on Praetorian Earth, but I mean, where on the planet, geographically, is it? I haven't found anything in the in-game lore that mentions its location (n.b. this is not me claiming it isn't there). About the only thing I have been able to work out, from one contact's background info, is that it's probably not where Rome used to be.

This information isn't of any practical use, but I admit I'm curious.

There was a thread about this a couple months ago. General consensus seemed to be "we're not sure/don't have quite enough information, but we know a few places where it definitively is not".


"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill

Yeah I remember that thread. My guess is that Praetoria is on the island of Cap Au Diable/Port Oakes. (Yes, these 2 zones are actually 1 island.) The general geographical shape matches. But what gave me the idea was the badge text for Urban Renewal. The area nearby reminded me of the PTS in Cap.

Now this doesn't explain why there are visible shorelines unless Praetorian Hami willed them there..


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

Not possible. You should read the links in a thread.

Praetoria is also built over a river which is an important transportation hub.

The homeless guy does rather specifically cement Praetoria in the former USA.

Marauder led gangs in the West and was summoned Eastward to Praetoria.

So... best indicators put it some where in the Southeast U.S. over a major river. Could be north of New Orleans on the Mississippi or any major river East of the Mississippi that empties into the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic.
And since that post, the arc in First Ward seems to indicate it's not too far from New Orleans.

It's pretty obvious that Nova Praetoria occupies the same location on Praetorian Earth as Springfield does on Primal Earth.
