Olathe

Olathe is the area that LISA: THE FIRST, LISA: THE PAINFUL RPG, and LISA: THE JOYFUL take place in. Prior to the White Flash, Olathe was a lush green landscape populated by a relatively-normal human civilization, but afterwards, it became mostly empty and desolate, apart from the few settlements created and preserved by the surviving men, as well as the many lairs and dens created by the Joy Mutants.

Olathe is separated into two different sections; western and eastern. LISA: THE PAINFUL RPG and (presumably) LISA: THE FIRST take place in the western section, while LISA: THE JOYFUL takes place primarily in the eastern section. The western and eastern parts of Olathe are separated by the List, and the majority of Olathe is controlled by the Warlords of Olathe and Rando's Army.

Trivia

• Olathe is heavily-implied to be located somewhere in the United States of America, as most of the encountered characters speak fluent English, and several USA flags can be seen in-game (most notably the one being worn by Hawk Hollywood). Another piece of evidence; there are many parodies of famous American professional-wrestlers, such as an unnamed resident of Aurora Town who strongly resembles Hulk Hogan, Shocklord (whose entire character is an obvious reference to the Shockmaster) and Death Queen (who is an obvious reference to the Undertaker).
  • There are two notable locations in the real-world that are named "Olathe"; a county seat in Kansas and a town in Colorado.
• Olathe is pronounced 'o-layth-uh'.
• "Olathe" is an anagram of the word "loathe", perhaps reflecting the area's painful nature, and the hatred between its residents. Whether this is intentional or not is unknown.
• Although there are no surviving women in Olathe (excluding Buddy), there may be outside of it.
• Some of the cheapest and most-common foodstuffs that Brad and Buddy can find are various forms of jerky, as well as alcohol. Salting meat preserves it, and negates the need for electronic refrigeration. Alcohol sterilizes bacteria, making it one of the safest beverages available in the absence of proper sanitation. This makes sense, considering that there are little to no utilities or electronic-devices in Olathe, on account of it being reduced to a post-apocalyptic wasteland by the White Flash. The only known sources of water in Olathe (excluding the Muddy Waters and the seas that Tardy and Shardy Hernandez traverse) are sporadic hand-pumps. Since these pumps typically produce dirty water, liquor is likely the most-common source of safe hydration.
• Several residents of Olathe have been shown to be capable of seemingly supernatural feats (the ability to generate fireballs, levitation, etc). Dingaling has stated that these abilities are caused by genetics.
• Transgender men who "could really pull off that they were a man biologically" survived the White Flash, but transgender women did not.
