Port Maw is a civilized raider nation in West Oregon.
Historical background
Port Maw is a raider gang, however, their means of operation make them very similar to pirates.[1] Formerly Oregon cannibals, Port Maw operates all shipping and smuggling from the New California Republic and Caesar's Legion through Oregonian and Utahite rivers, having a large navy. The Maw itself is a Pre-War ship carcass.[2]
Politics
National spirits
Port Maw starts with two national spirits:
Slaves and Drugs
- Consumer Goods Factories: 3.0%
- Passive Caps Income: +12.0
Port Maw's economy is driven almost completetly
by the sale of slaves and drugs. While the trade may neither be moral nor terribly profitable, Port Maw's unqiue status as one of the few non-cannibal settlements in Oregan means they get a suprising amount of customers. After all, it's better to be hooked on Psyco than in a cannibal's stew.

Wannabe Criminal Empire
- Recruitable Population: 3.00%
- Division Recovery Rate: +2.5%
The gangs of Port Maw have their eyes set on a high prize: to be the hub of a vast criminal empire trading in slaves, smuggled goods and caps. Sadly they face a fair bit of competition, with drugs pouring out of The Den and New Reno, while slaves are readily traded along the northen coastlines. Regardless, the promise of future glory encourages swathes of desperate young people with no other life prospects to join the gangs. Poor buggers.

Behind the scenes
- According to Mechano, The Maw as a city is evocative of the city of Tortuga, a city seen in the Disney film series Pirates of the Caribbean.
- In technicality, rather than being a Portland, Oregon city, Port Maw is actually within the geographical area of Astoria, Oregon, a coastal city.[3]
- Zusk created edited leader portraits for Port Maw.[4]

A lot to work with there."

The "Maw" as it were is the carcasses of those ships which were attempting to oppose them with a giant gate in the middle if I remember correctly. The city itself being "Tortuga"-esque.

Yeah, Port Maw is technically Astoria
