Cradle City The Green Jewel of the North Atlantic

1st March 2045

Created by

Cradle City is a modern, if not weatherbeaten, island of civilization in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. A free city state, it operates under the leadership of a President and cabinet, backed by the Corporations, particularly Green Cradle Initiatives. Here, the corporations are pushing development of sustainable energy tech, deep sea farming initiatives, and geothermal study. It is also a resort town, with Casinos, Hotels, and even a Biotechnica operated ‘New Nature’ reserve that attracts the wealthy from across the world.   Underneath the veneer of respectability, however, Cradle City is a land of two halves. The President may be in charge, but he jumps whenever GCI says so, and the Corpos effectively run the city. Under this structure, the rich are getting ever richer, building outlandish estates and structures on the solid and ever expanding base of Cradle Island, while the poor grow sick and malnourished in the tight streets, slums, and the floating districts.
Travel in Cradle City
Public transport in Cradle City is well funded, as the government wants as few people using cars as possible. To this end, the city has an extensive system of maglev trains with a number of stops in each area. For characters travelling through the city via maglev, a cost is incurred of 1eb per area traveled through.   There are also taxis. This service is slower, but offers more privacy than a cramped maglev, and can drop you off directly where you need to be. For a character travelling this way, a cost of 3eb per area traveled through is incurred for road taxis, and 5eb for air taxis.
