Petone (2023) Factions
Somes Institute Originally a government funded institute for biological research, the Somes Institute worked with many governments across the world for biological and ecological research, including the United States.
The Somes Institute’s goal is to kill off all of the biological matter in New Zealand and use their biological technology to bring back the natural state of New Zealand of the 13th century, before human settlement. They tried through practical means of introducing mutant lifeforms that would be hostile to other species but realised later on that it wasn't going to give them the ideal ending they wanted. They are genocidal-technocrats.
Alicetown is a settlement on the border of the PGP of outcasts, unwanted refugees or troublemakers. Their exclusion from the PGP has given them their own political influence through creating a confederation of groups of co-existence. Their goal is to either become a part of the PGP and have a free society or become sustainable themselves.
Melling Zombies are a community of humans that were radiated from a nearby nuclear blast that, while not killing them, turned them into ghouls. They are discriminated against by the PGP but the Zombies wish to be citizens of the PGP.
The Provisional Government of Petone is a government of the survivors of the Hutt Valley, which migrated to Petone to form a stable settlement. Parties have formed to gain influence on the policies that are voted in, which are influencing how the country is formed. The overall goal of the PGP is to create a stable country/settlement that can safely defend itself and sustain itself.

Castlepoint (2022) Factions
Castlepoint Before the Great War, Castlepoint was a hotspot for wealthy business people across Oceania to take leisure. With that, the economy of Castlepoint is incredibly wealthy and mighty. Castlepoint is commonly told by many across the world that Castlepoint is the Miami of the pacific. People across the North Island go to Castlepoint to take leisure but often end up becoming impoverished and unable to return home. Therefore they either worked for the wealthy, rebelled against them, or died trying to return home.
Lighthouse Outcasts is home to the outcasts of both the Collective and Castlepoint. It used to be a tourist hotspot but is now a slum. It is nearly self-sufficient with its seemingly infinite supply of fish from the ocean, but there are issues with Freshwater. They are competitors with the Gap’s Passage and often have to do dangerous scavenging and sometimes stealing to get freshwater.
Gap’s Passage is a peaceful fishing village that often trades its high quality fish with people across the area. It has a stable supply of drinking water due to trading but their rivals at lighthouse are making them more unstable due to trying to cut them off.
The Wairarapa United Tribes has set up camp in Castlepoint at the Peak of a nearby hill. their capital is far from the area, but they decided that there was importance in Castlepoint from an economic and political perspective and are primarily spectators but see the importance in intervention.
