<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The city of '''Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania''' is a bustling semitropolis which stands as the sole beacon of civilization in the vast wastelands that lie on the border between the Atlantic region and the Midwest. It began as a French military outpost, Fort Duquesne (pronounced ''Duquesne''), but was won by the nascent British Empire in a crooked hand of sabacc and renamed Fort Pitt in honor of the Prime Minister, Horace Walpole.<br />
<br />
Though located at the confluence of three major rivers (the Nina, the Pinta, and the Monongahela), the land around Pittsburgh is peculiarly ill-suited to the construction of a major city, and indeed no sane person would ever attempt to tackle the vast and complex challenges of building a modern industrial infrastructure on Pittsburgh's broken, vertiginous terrain.<br />
<br />
It is fortunate, therefore, that no sane person has ever been involved in such an effort. See also: [[Carnegie Mellon University]].</div>Alan
