The map above shows the vampire political situation in the United States. North America remains locked in a persistent tug of war between the fledgling Anarch Free States, the encroaching Sabbat and the powerful strongholds of the Camarilla.
Camarilla areas are in black. The Camarilla maintains its historic hold on most of the American Rustbelt and the South. While the Plain States are nominally under Camarilla control, the constant threat of the lupines and the sparse mortal population make vast tracts of the western half of the nation a Kindred no-man's land, save for the largest cities. Much to the Anarch Movement's chagrin, the Camarilla keeps firm hold on two cities in northern California bordering the Free States, San Francisco and Sacramento.
Sabbat controlled areas are in red, where the Sabbat has driven out almost all Camarilla influence. Sabbat strongholds flourish in New England and south in Mexico. The great beachhead of the Jyhad in the United States in New York City, practically a fortress against Camarilla incursion from which the Sabbat launches a perpetual siege of neighboring states. Mexico is overwhelming under Sabbat control, and is considered the new motherland of the Sword of Caine.
Sabbat contested areas, in purple, are the frontlines of the Jyhad. These areas either see a constant give and take between the two great sects, or are simply areas where the Sabbat move unchecked but have not been able to set up a firm power base. The former is true in the Northeast, San Antonio and Miami, while the latter is true in areas like the Mexican border in the Southwest, where nomadic packs wander freely across the border and through the small towns.
Anarch controlled areas, in blue, are an anomaly only found in North America. In addition to the hopeful and young Anarch Free States in California and Seattle, the only other pocket of Anarch control is to the North, in Madison, Wisconsin, which fell to them much to everyone's surprise decades ago in a series of complicated events.
Anarch contested areas are far less violent than Sabbat contest ones. These symbolizes areas that the Anarchs have not laid formal claim to, but where Anarch gangs move without resistance or care. If there are Princes in these areas, they are either young and intimidated by the large Anarch population of their city or simply allow free passage to the Movement.
