Regions and Cities
What is the world like in 2048
City structure:
Sewers and Catacombs- Almost exclusively mutants live here
Lower Depths- Home to gangs, homeless, drug houses. This dilapidated enviroment has constant dripping from upper levels making it damp and dark with no access to sunlight and the only illumination LED's that are everywhere. The parts closer to the surface are where most civvies live, where some light still penetrates between cuts in the city main streets.
City main- This is where most of the Joneses live and is filled with a thick layer of smog but otherwise pleasant with grey but bright skies and generally good housing.
Heights- Chuff live up at the top of tall buildings with helipads in this level of the city to make sure they never need to touch the dirty streets of the city main below. On the mid-lower levels of these huge skyscrapers is mainly corporate headquarters allowing Chuff to easily go down the skyscraper to get to work, and anyone such as secretaries from the lower classes to access the building from the city main.
UG Islands- These low floating islands are extremely exclusive and require an invite to be allowed to enter. Known to house only the extremely extremely rich or United Government officials. The islands have a completely automated system with robot/replicant slaves catering to their demands and also transporting supplies from wherever they're desired in the world/mars. They never go down to the ground themselves though people can see the ones not high up in the government through their social media profile.
City and Urban area- Where humans/replicants/mutants live.
Outer Reaches- Automated industrial area covered in factories where AI manage teams of robots.
Glass- Automated greenhouse skyscrapers which provide food to the surrounding cities.
Region Breakdown:
South America
Covered in favellas and patches of destroyed jungle, no mans land, and wasteland- South America was kept weak by questionable means in order to facilitate trade, eventually leaving its native people destitute. Without being able to afford the necesities of being a country in the 21st century they were forced to sell the land from under their feet, making South America a continent mostly inhabited by indentured servants.
Europe
The center of the mutant problem due to its complex networks of old/abandoned catacombs, railways, and sewer systems. Word of Europe spread amongst mutant populations through word of mouth, and they have been known to journey from far away in search of a place they can live underground undisturbed.
Asia
Known to have more chuff than anywhere else in the world, the Asian continent also has the most replicants. Replicants sometimes travel to this region for that reason in order to find work as a house slave rather than working as a prostitute or agricultural slave. The Asian continent also houses one of the last known uninhabited areas of the planet in its siberian region.
Africa
Africa is the war boar capital of the world. Handlers are known to travel from far and wide to compete in the different African tournaments from the Kenyan Park Tournament to the Saharan Struggle.
Australia
Used during the testing phase of the Mars terraforming project, the continent was terraformed and serves as an extended mostly suburban area. Building restrictions were put in place across the continent in order to maintain a flat landscape and separate Australia from the megacity covered countries of the world.
Antarctica
The only means of entry to the Outlands here is via floating rafts strung together between Antarctica and South America. The Outlands are home to the Greens and a wild west where the United Government has no oversight, satellite internet, etc.
Pacific ocean
A network of manufactured islands floats above the Pacific ocean between the East Asian Metropolis Area and the North American Western Metropolis Area. This is where most of the Isles of the United Government are located.
