Government
The local civilian population is governed by a town council and elected mayor. The angels resident on the base are commanded by Aule Tauriel, who reports directly to Archangel Azrael.
Industry & Trade
The civilian population primarily commutes to work in the larger city of Marquette, though there has been an expansion of retail and light industrial areas in the Gwinn area since the recommissioning of KI Sawyer. Gwinn now supports a thriving religious community which ranges from conservative Christians to orthodox Jews to Muslims in addition to support services and entertainment facilities aimed at the resident stationing of angels.
History
KI Sawyer Airport was founded on the site in 1937. In 1955, the airport was expanded into a USAF Air Base when the government signed a 99-year lease. During the base closures in 1993, KI Sawyer was slated to be closed and resources were in the process of being moved off-site when the Angel Invasion occurred in 1994. In 1995, the base was recommissioned as an Angelic Force base and an Angel Census Office was opened in downtown Gwinn, fostering a renaissance in the local economy.
Architecture
Most of the buildings on base were built by government contractors in 1954-1955. The troop housing units are split-level duplexes with two or three bedrooms per dwelling. Officer housing units are two-story duplexes with three or four bedrooms.
Geography
Gwinn and KI Sawyer AFB are located on a large, open plain of grasslands alternating with pine forest leading down to the shore of Lake Superior and the port of Marquette. There are very few natural windblocks in the plains area and heavy lake effect snow during the winter often blows into massive drifts across the roads.
