Georgia is the fourth state of the United States of America and is the main setting of most The Walking Dead media. It appears in the Comic Series, TV Series, Fear the Walking Dead, The Telltale Series, and Tales of the Walking Dead.

History

Pre-Apocalypse

Before the Europeans arrived, Georgia was inhabited by the Mound Builder tribes. The British colony of Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733. The colony was administered by the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America under a charter issued by (and named for) King George II. In 1752, after the government failed to renew subsidies that had helped support the colony, the Trustees turned over control to the crown.

Georgia was one of the Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. After the war, Georgia became the fourth state of the Union by ratifying the Constitution on January 2, 1788.

Blair and Gina worked here at the Circle of Trust Insurance Company. It also boasted a population of over 9 million prior to the outbreak.

Post-Apocalypse

Not a lot is known about Georgia once the Trials began though it can be assumed that it followed the example of California, with state and local police being among the first responders, with these first responders being joined by military units if and when a state of emergency was declared. According to a radio broadcast in Torn Apart, the Governor of Georgia was expected to speak to the media shortly after the outbreak began significantly affecting the state.
