What will be the 4th city claimed by the Long Emergency?

I saw that over at LATOC, Matt was making the interesting point that The Long Emergency has already claimed 3 cities: Baghdad, New Orleans, and Detroit. What will be the 4th city to fall victim to TLE?

None of the above.

My guess is Tehran and soon!!!

Mexico City should be up there.

by **Baldwin** » Sun 25 Mar 2007, 23:42:43

Possibly Mexico City. Sharp rises in food prices are the stuff of nightmares for backwater nations. See the events immediately proceeding the overthrow of the Czar.

Barring natural disasters, I'd like to toss Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) into nomination for a looming clusterfuck...a declining oil supply, increasing population and an ever so fundementalist view of islam is going to make for a winning combo for murder and mayhem on a large scale. Add in the fact that their water supply is dependent on desal plants which of course depend on cheap energy. I'd rather face the long emergency in Las Vegas than that place.
