Government

The Settlement is comprised of eight Justices, which vote democratically to create laws. Typically, a Citizenship, which are an official group of citizens with some say in the community, draft laws, policies, and project reviews for the justices to vote on.

Defences

Contempora has only three ways to get into the complex, as the lower floors are barricaded and the electricity is deactivated, even if one was capable of rowing or sailing to said floors.
Each bridge has three checkpoints which one will have to face. After one is cleared in all three, then they may pass into Contempora.

Industry & Trade

Contempora is a major trade center for goods heading Northwest. It provides ample space for traders to rest, gather info about the area, and buy/sell.

Infrastructure

Contempora is incredibly famous for its impenetrable fortress. The town resides over a wide area of sunken city, as the lower ground was submerged in sewage and flood waters. There are hundreds of interconnecting bridges over a series of high-rise towers, in which the inhabitants reside. They are about six or seven stories above the street level.

CRITICISM ON FIRE SAFETY

In 12559, there was a wide criticism as to well-needed fire escapes. After a fire erupted in the tenth floor of Building 5, proposals were drafted in order to set this project in place. However, the Justices ruled them as far too revealing to enemy factions, which they deemed was a far greater threat.
As of 12563, there have been no new proposals.

Guilds and Factions

Contempora is independent and free from faction influence.
