Japiedmont - I find Hara is usually best, though you may need to take a load of crude oil up there to get things started. After finishing the game I occasionally found that fuel and crude disappeared from all economies, which forced me to go back to pack animals.
I've upped my rating to 2/5 - only because the server reset = 5x xp for the following ten minutes. Going from lvl 6 to lvl 14 in ten minutes might make this game bearable.
oh you have got to be kidding me...just finished the game and was going to canonia to kill some zombies for trilobyte key action and whaddya know? THEY'RE ALL GONE! ARGH
