Kansas

Kansas (or also known as 'Old Kansas' or 'Windshield State') was an American state located in Central United States. It was founded in 1861 and had a relative population until the outbreak in 2022. It is unknown what the exact population of the state is as of Better Days Ahead, but it is estimated to be less than 50,000 due to many survivors fleeing the state for various reasons.

History
In 'Let the Daisy's Grow' Kansas was the location of birth for Henry Lizkhein, though he only lived there for less than 2 weeks due to his parents' nobility. His family owns a "plot of land" where his grandmother resided to in the 1890s.

Kansas is later finally seen in 'Better Days Ahead' as a starter point for the story. Much of the population of Kansas has fled the state for various reasons, with the small population that remained staying behind in their farms or started small safe-zone groups in the cities. The known families as of 2031 were; the Schroders, the Mayflowers, the Schaefers, the Harveys, the Crawfords and the Butlers; though only the Schroders and Schaefers are known to have survived up to April 2032 with the Schroders heading West and the Schaefers heading South. On a geographical term, urban areas such as Wichita and Topeka have fallen to thug gangs or the undead; while the rural areas were either left untouched or abandoned.
