Chernarus
Status: in build, private testing. Chernarus Plus. Site One in the network — first by number, not necessarily by importance. See Sites for how it fits alongside everything else.
What's different here
Chernarus is quiet in a way that reads as relief more than safety. Whatever's still running at other sites isn't running here — no active checkpoints, no automated systems still working the ground. That absence is worth noticing precisely because it isn't guaranteed to hold true everywhere. See The Directive for why.
Who holds ground
All five confirmed factions hold territory somewhere on this map — an airfield, a police precinct split down the middle, an island fortress, a mountain triage camp, and whoever's left to hold anything else. See Factions for who's where.
Regional note
Land here still works, in places, in ways survivor reports from elsewhere don't describe. Worth keeping in mind if you're planning to stay a while.
