the people who are going to survive the collapse are going to be those who retreat to the woods, work alone, move around often, steal, hunt and forage, only move around at night and move stealthily, etc.
survival is going to be a full-time job and life will still be nasty, brutish, and short.
if this place has resources, it's going to be under constant siege. it's thousands of miles of borders to protect and defend.
there will be non-stop infighting without strong leadership, and whoever is in that position will live under constant threat for their life. the sociopaths will quickly ascend to the top since they will know that they will need to maintain power through fear. living there could very well be more oppressive than outside of it. you're going to see cartel levels of violence. saudi arabia style public executions.
