Atlas City Empires
The year is 2032, and the world has not changed that much from the early 2000s. Humanity is still stuck on earth, trying their best to scrounge up whatever resources they can from the planet before it eventually dries up. Despite advances in technology, the world still runs on money, and at this time, a majority of the world's monetary might is held not by any nations, but by international bussiness entities. The mega corporations. These companies are like a nation unto themselves, each one possessing their own power structures and military might.
In the year 2021, one of these corporations, Atlas corp, established Atlas City. A free trade area built on an artificial island in the pacific ocean, the city became a vital connecting point between the American continent and Asia. It also became the home of many smaller corporations who realizes full well the possibilities that exist in a land untouched by international laws. Alas, like moths drawn to flames, big bussiness soon draws the attention of organized crimes into the city. From the Yakuzas, to the Cosa Nostra, Atlas city is home to many underworld organizations, big and small.
Atlas corp tolerates the pressence of these criminal organizations as long as they do not bring problems to the city. It also helps that each of the bigger organizations rake in a considerable ammount of money into the region, making Atlas city an economic powerhouse, a land divided by many small empires. These empires exist in a constant state of chaos, alliances and vendettas are declared at a moment's notice and ends just as abruptly. To live in Atlas City is to live amongst a secret war that is fought in the shadows between men and women who were born in the dark and will one day die in the dark. Some of them are lucky enough to rise higher than others, but it is still a life of constant danger and death might lie around every well-paved corner of the city.
