Description Attempt to make a Britain map using same principles as my Nordics map. Since Britain is smaller I limited the amount of hazard zones to 8.

Basically up one climate zone. The s.outh would be mediterranean up to Scotland that would be a tad more temperate. 
Blue.
I use nuclear plant site as Climate-Hazard zones. An idea I got from the Movie called "Snowpiercer." They messed up the climate trying to c.ontrol it. So here there are glaciers, stormzones, EMP-deserts and so on. There is population here, quite advanced factories made to cle.an water or make sweetwater out of the sea. So I kind of see them as places where scientists and robots and AI lives and secretly overwatch the rest of the wasteland around it. Dometowns, as in Axacomics perhaps.   
Green
Biohazard, every major body of water will have one. Mutated vegetation, very hungry for meat. 
Orange
Radiation hazard. People would flee to the cap.itols after the bioweapon plague hits them with 99% casualties. Then the quaranteen city would be nuked of course. When the wars start over again. So there has been a nuclear war, but not a very big one. 
Red
So remaining pockets of civilisation are the forbidden cities. As a principle I would like to p.lace them on military bases/forts but this time I did not research exactly where the British and Irish keep their bases. Just sort of placed them randomly. Originally they were vaults, but in some places they boomed and became blade-runnerish cities. Out in the countryside they kept vassals to protect the rubber-road. But these gradually broke free from central control and Megacity is in it´s hayday stagnating darkening. Offroad there have been colonization though, but these outposts are quite small and wild-westernish. 
Black
Battlefields, minefields poisoned no-mans-land and robot graveyards. Vast burial fields for the millions dead. This is more of a horror dark, mordorish ashy-landscape. Also home to smugglers, marauders and neutral forces. They like to trade and raid. 

Not too happy about the names on the map. I guess it is probably better if  a indigenous Briton make up the names, but I like if they are somewhat dystopian. Things have gone seriously wrong. Kind of names…

Cool!  I like the climate idea you got from 'Snowpiercer' too - awesome movie.  Any more info on 'The Constitution' in Wales?  I'm part Welsh and still have relatives living in northern Wales that I've visited (and who've visited here), so I'm just curious.

In the old Swedish Mutant-RPG there seem to have been some indirect contact with the British isles, since two advanced tribes of Scottish mutated badgers invaded the coast of what used to be Norway.

In this map, the (welsh) Constitution might have originated as a vassal to protect the searoutes from Oily Waters to Plastic Bag Beach. I reckon they are quite c.lose to the Megacity or (smaller) Vault-town of mACASTER which could be either a problem or a possibility.

Thanks!

No, sorry I just made up some names at random here. But if you don´t mind it would be cool if you asked them next time you´re in touch what would be a dystopian/postapocalyptic nightmare but a kind of dark humorous one,  for welsh people.

Constitution could really mean anything. When I t.hink of Wales I t.hink of Arthurian legends, Celts vs Romans, and long long location names with double "LL" l´s in them.

I'll ask!  Though, it might seem like an odd question hehe.  I think my cousin there might have an interesting answer, though.  He's a big UK history buff.

Maybe someone steal all the LL´s?

That would cripple them severely!

People also live in the ocean obviously, growing algae and talking to fishes.

Can they breathe in the water then?

Maybe the mutant fishpeople can.
But I guess there are a few drops of oil leftovers which they can sell, the NorthSea does have oil. Or, maybe even as minerals become more scarce into a dark future they would have to mine the seabottom. When I was a kid I read that in a book that in the year 2000 people would live on the moon and build cities in the ocean. Well, didn´t happen but it was a fun thought.

If that is too scifi, one can imagine a Waterworld (Kevin Costner with geals! yeey!), with wrecked megatankers and man-made Island platforms (built to evade taxes). Maybe a situation where the sea probably have more food available, (big fish) then on land. Or just islands made of junk and garbage piling up.

Yeah, Waterworld wasn't a very good movie, but it had some cool ideas.  I could imagine floating towns or groups of platforms (like you say) tethered together to form a community.  That sounds more reasonable in a post-apocalyptic world than the high-tech cities that your book mentioned.
