New York City NY
Throughout the story, this city and much of the surrendering area will change as it's built up and society has as whole changes. we will first start in the familiar Modern Era.
Modern Era
Although familiar surroundings are inbound the city has just passed new laws to use experimental tech and industry to build the city up into a beacon of the future. Many of the characters think that the people of city hall have better things to do than daydream though and Aealious Igarashi has his plans to increase tourism in a way that doesn't involve people from leaving their homes for mass construction projects to take over."The city passed that plan to build upwards thankfully they don't have the resources to force people out of their homes yet."Martin Davis
Demographics
This probably won't change much as we go forward in time but lets set up a base.
Demographics of The Modern Era
These are based if off of 2019 census or however, people figure this out. Anyways the cities population-based on the people's origins are 42.78% White, 24.32% Black or African American, 15.12% Other race or didn't identify, 14.00% Asian, 3.33% two or more races, 0.40% Native American, and lastly 0.05% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander according to worldpopulationreview.com. This is interesting because both this site and Wikipedia say that New York is the most diverse city in Amerca and those numbers seem to prove it.Government
The city uses a mayor-council government system.
Defences
When it comes to standing military only Fort Hamilton is still active as a base but with the presence of other nearby forts in New Jersey and elsewhere in New York State the city is still one of the most well-defended according to Sam and his sights tour website.
Industry & Trade
In the real world, New York City is a huge trade center with lots of modern industries that make that keep the city afloat. According to Get to Know 8 Important New York City Industries the city runs on finance and insurance, trade, health care, real estate, mass media, journalism and publishing, manufacturing, and lastly information technology. Those are all of the industry from the real world but Disc Casters as a story adds a new industry into town.
Industry Breakdown Modern Era
With finance and insurance, its almost a no brainer since the Stock Market on Wall Street is a part of New York City and is a huge part of the wealth of the city. There are a lot of foreign companies that have found a place to belong in the city most of the trade is also done with China. In the case of health care, New York City produces a lot of people that are interested in the life sciences and many doctors native to it have won rewards for their medical advances. It's no surprise with how expensive the city to live that real estate made the list and this will only grow with some story development. The entertainment companies of Disc Casters picked a spot to set up shop since New York City the second leader in media entertainment and it's not surprising to see famous people Hollywood, of course, takes the number one spot. Now the industry that is near and somewhat dear to every storyteller journalism and publishing New York City journals and publications are very well respected. The thing I think of when it comes to the industry is manufacturing and New York creates chemicals, clothing, processed foods, metal products, furniture, among other things according to theinterngroup.com that wrote the article I am referencing. Out of all of the manufacturing the one that is the most stable in food manufacturing which I thought was surprising. Information technology will be the internet, cable, and other such communication and tech. In this era, there is one other big industry on the block and that is the trading card industry with another industry that creates supplement technology. I am of course talking about Igarashi Corporations and Go Down in Games: A Gaming Company the two biggest names in trading card games and board games. Although this is still a new industry and is relatively experimental the enterprise spirit fits right in with the feel of the city that welcomes creatives to try and test new ideas. Since Disc Casters has gained in popularity and doesn't seem to be slowing down the gaming industry is a good place to go for a different pace.Footnotes
