In the latter example, a giant earthquake aka "The Big One" separated the City of Los Angeles from mainland California, effectively rendering the city a wasteland in the process. An ultra-conservative government regime declared the city unusable for "decent Amercians" and turned it into a deportation zone for undesirables. This might be what the Rogue Isles have become, by Recluse's own choice. "Give us your thieves, your murderers, your corrupt masses."
