Missouri is essentially divided into five spheres of influence:
East — 🔴 Red
South — 🟢 Green
West — 🔵 Blue
Center — 🟡 Yellow
Scattered urban pockets — 🩷 Pink
But none of these borders are permanent.
St. Louis is the biggest battleground.
Red considers the city theirs, but Pink controls several nightlife areas while Yellow wants its roads and Green wants access to its drug market.
Kansas City is Blue's stronghold.
Blue dominates wealthy neighborhoods and businesses, while Green constantly attempts to expand its drug operations into the city.
Central Missouri belongs mostly to Yellow.
They use its position to move throughout the state, which means every other gang eventually has to cross Yellow-controlled roads.
There are also Gray Zones—towns and neighborhoods where no gang has permanent control.
These are the most dangerous territories because they're constantly being fought over.
The five gangs don't want peace.
They want Missouri.
And each believes that eventually the state should belong to only one color.
