A History Built on Innovation…
| Inhabitants | 6.7 million; projections from a study in 2056 for human lives produced actually dropped 4% more than expected thanks to the carnal obessesion with both sex AI and the business of the Playhouses |
|---|---|
| Geography | Flat and level plains, cannibalized and industrially flattened |
| Climate | Spends most of the year being extremely, extremely hot thanks to global warming— so much so that Heat Index warnings are common place and can effect business, travel, etc. |
| Resources | *Production of transportation devices (parts or otherwise; AVs + cars) is a massive resource within the city, as well as the industrialization of the mega corps that own and run the city (EYEWatch, OmniSite/MAGTECH and UNIVA) |
→ Natural resources include mineral and metal mining, as well as massive salt and oil deposits the corporations have bought out and fought for around the world* |
| Culture | Multi-cultural society; everything is blended together into a massive melting pot, from Middle Eastern, Asian, African American, EuroAmerican, etc. → Food: Synth-protien created by soy and other plant based products (”cashew chicken”… Literally lol); only those in the Pinnacle can actually afford the very expensive imports of real meats and byproducts that usually are brought from overseas → Fashion: A mixture of neocasual, neochic, neocorporate and neostreetwear Those in the Pinnacle demand higher quality clothing and brands; Apperances mean everything! Those in The Overcrowded District settle for neocasual or neostreetwear, normally second-hand; Whatever you can afford! Those in The Outlands settle for DIY; Practicality and comfort over apperance! | | Social Structure | *Normally, the “Upper 3” are deemed far more important and valuable, “providing more for society” in their immense wealth through sponsorships, endorsements and innovations (ignoring the fact that many upper facets of the socioeconomic ladder are built on the backs of the remaining 97%); those in The Overcrowded District and The Outlands are seen as nothing more than disposable grunt workers and pests.
Considering how immoral and desensitized many people are (thanks to the mass media around the city showing mass amounts of derogatory, violent and sexualized content because it “sells”), they can be seen as very self-absorbed, wanting nothing more than to forward their own agendas (survival)* | | Politics | Corpocratic— the corporations own numerous Western Providences (states), which they can then sell and barter how they want; they have their hands all over human lives without the input of “governing bodies”, which now instead back any major and executive decisions made by the corporate overlords | | Religion | Collective Non-Denominational, however the popular choices still seem to be Westernized Christianity and Catholicism, with sprinkling of Arab and African religions thanks to the “melting pot” aspect of world culture within the NUP → Wiccan/Pagan religions were choked out in the 2030s (thanks to the sudden dip in natural lands and resources)— in VirtuCity specifically, there are cult practices for “The Hive Mother” that led to the creation of the “Techanecamancers”, a small underground faith/religion that believes in the ascension of combining wires and flesh to reach a higher level of being [believed to be a city rumor/myth, as not many people actually believe in this/practice this “religion”] | | Language | Primarily English and Spanish, however, many who move to VirtuCity from other countries/alliances bring their language and culture with them; secondary language could be considered either Italian or New Russian thanks to major influence within the underground |
