Red Zones

There is a chain of non-contiguous areas throughout France called the Red Zones which the French government isolated after the World War 1 and access to these areas is still forbidden. These areas are saturated with unexploded shells (including gas shells), grenades and rusty ammo. The soil is still heavily polluted by lead, mercury, chlorine, arsenic, various dangerous gases, acids, and human and animal remains that the government considers it impossible to clean and human life is still impossible in the zone. In some of these places, 99% of plant life still dies and agriculture is considered impossible 100 years later.
