'''Union City''', also known as '''The Dead Zone''', is a fictional metropolitan city featured in {{TLS2}}, {{TLS:UC}}, and {{TLS:DZ}}. It is also briefly mentioned in {{TLS1}}. Pre-outbreak, it had a population of 350,148,<ref group="n" name="kinda small, right?">While it is obvious that the map is not to scale, the population is still quite large for a city of its size. In reality, the only way to accomplish this is by increasing population density. This is clearly evident in [[TLS:UC]], as the player encounters apartment buildings quite early on in the game</ref> the largest in the [[state]].

==Districts==
Union City is divided into 17 [[:Category:Union City Districts|districts]], listed below:
#[[Trenton]]
#[[Green Plains]]
#[[Northwood]]
#[[Uptown]]
#[[Stadium]]
#[[Docks]]
#[[Union Island]]
#[[Riverside]]
#[[Brookvale]]
#[[Downtown]] (only appears in TLS:UC Alpha<ref group="n" name="occ by uptown">This location is occupied by [[Uptown]] in the final version.</ref>)
#[[Southshore]] (only appears in TLS:UC Alpha<ref group="n" name="occ by uptown" />)
#[[Newtown]]
#[[Canal Park]]
#[[The Bricks]] (also mentioned in [[TLS:DZ Story Timeline]])
#[[Alton]]
#[[Pinedale]]
#[[Waterside]]
#[[Union Bridge]]<ref group="n">Union Bridge is not mentioned in ''The Last Stand: Union City''. In ''The Last Stand: Dead Zone'', Union Bridge occupies the space where Waterside was located in ''The Last Stand: Union City'', and Waterside was located further north than originally depicted.</ref>

==The Last Stand 2==
Union City is the ultimate goal of many survivors, including the protagonist [[Jack]], as it is the site of the last round of evacuations before the mainland is sealed off. Depending on how long he takes to reach it, he might find it intact or bombed out.

==The Last Stand: Union City==
Hence the name, the game primarily takes place within the city itself. The player takes on the role of one of its inhabitants, who left the city for work during the outbreak and returns to find that [[zombie]]s have overrun most of the city, with the few remaining evacuation points heavily guarded by the [[Military (organization)|military]] and [[HERC]].

The areas visited in the game are mostly abandoned and are infested with [[zombie]]s, though a few survivors can be found holed up inside several buildings. [[HERC]] also maintains at least three outposts in several locations across the city.

===Districts===
Listed in order of appearance:
#[[Pinedale]]
#[[Brookvale]]
#[[Canal Park]]
#[[Newtown]]
#[[Uptown]] (Occupies [[Southshore]] and [[Downtown]] in final version)
#[[Stadium]]
#[[Docks]]
#[[Waterside]] (Placed in Uptown's Alpha location)
#[[Union Island]]
#[[Whistler's Forest]] ([[Survival Kit]] only. Whistler's Forest is not a part of the city proper, but it is a playable location.)

==The Last Stand: Dead Zone==
Roughly about a month after the events of TLS:UC, the [[Military (organization)|military]] and [[HERC]] withdrew from the city, and an aerial bombing campaign was carried out. This left most of the city in ruins, and all survivors within the newly declared Dead Zone were left to their own means.

Many buildings and roads across the city have been destroyed by the bombing campaign, and a series of automated defenses surrounding the city, set up by [[HERC]], prevents either [[zombie]]s or survivors from leaving. However, the fortified [[compound]]s dotting the cityscape provide sanctuaries for [[survivor]]s. In addition, quite a few buildings escaped being bombed, allowing these groups to sustain themselves by [[scavenging]] for supplies.

[[Zombie]]s are nearly omnipresent throughout the Dead Zone, but there is still a sizable number of survivors present (including a Russian trader named [[Ivan]]), most or all of whom are immune to the zombie virus.

==Trivia==
*Union City is very likely based on [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York City]] or on [[wikipedia:Union City, New Jersey|a real city with the same name in New Jersey]].
*It is very likely that it is the capital of the state and is located near [[Jonestown]] and [[Fort Tran]] (according to the map in [[The Last Stand 2|TLS2]]).
*When you do automatic missions in streets and some supermarkets, some vehicles are similar to MTA buses and NYPD cars, and signs in the supermarkets have IKEA ads on them.
