Influence
Blaine County is an amalgamation of several Southern Californian counties adjacent to Los Angeles and the Salton Sea. For example the desert areas of Blaine County appears to most closely resemble the Inland Empire area of California and more rural areas of Los Angeles County and Southern California in general. It is also partly inspired by Slab City, due to an area that looks very similar to Slab City's Salvation Mountain.
