Tauranga (Scenario: The World's Liferaft)

Tauranga is the fourth largest city in New Zealand with a population of 422,000 people. Originally known as a retirement community the Great Nuclear War made Tauranga's relevance as a port city with lots of available land attractive to many migrants (particularly from the United States who likened it's climate to that of the state of Florida). The population is 55% European, 29% Maori, 13% Asian, 2% Pasifika and 2% other. It is connected by regional rapid rail to Auckland, Hamilton and Rotorua and from the latter two on to the High Speed Train to Wellington
