Depthopolis

The largest city, in volume and population in the United Multiverse. Hosting the biggest diversity of cultures in the known multiverse

Demographics

Demographics is the main inner struggle in Depthopolis. Demographic groups are typically divided geographically by respiratory requirements, meaning essential ingredients that typically are required for most living beings that are found to be needed at constant rates. These required ingredients can range from ingredients like oxygen and water, to ingredients like sulfur, methane, magic, volcanic liquid, or without ingredients entirely. These requirements don't hinder most citizens from travelling outside their habitable zones with many advancements in different sciences and technologies creating passive breathing systems most citizens can afford.   Ethnic standards have always been troubles ever since Depthopolis was founded though, with Depthopolis being the biggest melting pot of cultures and species out of all of the United Multiverse's cities and its known enemies. Depthopolis has sadly been dealing with countless renegades just from its massive scale in numbers and huge diversity because of it. Luckily species tend to stick to their appropriate parts of the cities, mostly for convenience but its a handy feature when dealing with groups that may oppose one another, restricting it to mainly one of the opposing conflicts habitable zones, which then restricts the amount of surveillance to small sections of the city.   Professions have never been terrible concerns however though, you'll find many ways the subgroups have been dealing with the growing numbers in populations and effective employment methods. The city is only so big and already scopes its three dimensional borders so excavating has never really been an option in this city outside of building tunnels and infrastructure (along with some cities) in some areas. The only unique aspects of professions that stand out in this city are definitely the science and technology research centers there, able to decipher the biggest questions that come up each time a new dimensional frequency is discovered and explored while also hosting the biggest database of discovered dimensions and leading the path in domestic interdimensional travel.   The sheer size of the city of Depthopolis brings lots of jumps between the higher and lower classes, especially in the main habitable zones, such as the second largest zone, The Oxy Zone. The Oxy Zone consists of mostly oxygen with a few subzones that deviate wildly from their original purpose. With such a large habitable zone and one of the most culturally thick in this melting pot of the city where most news and internet shows are recorded and broadcasted, the gap between upper and lower has been pretty stagnate over the past few years, the rich maintain a high level of power in the heart of the city and lower classes on the outskirt-like mid sections of the city. In the smaller habitable zones though the height in between being poor and making enough money to get out of the city is greater than most expect and although education is heavily encouraged in some areas, the newer citizens don't have as much luck receiving education.

Government

Depthopolis belongs to a branch of the Interdimensional Federation

Defences

Depthopolis being so big and influential, as well as what could've been one of the most secure military outposts known to our current society, has one of the most secured, and threatened industries of interdimensional travel. Currently our forces deal with trying to keep high priority interdimensional terrorists at bay by dispatching special forces teams, one of those teams being the influential and controversial Dragon's Breathe Team, currently stopping over a dozen terrorist breaches and inside conflicts in the city.

Industry & Trade

Depthopolis' main source for interdimensional revenue is in Research and Tourism, with over 41% of all income coming from outside source requests, and another 24% coming from tourism. The remainder of which is kept up by:   Entertainment Creative Commissions Creative Drugs Creative Consumption (including desalination extract)   Since Depthopolis is so big however it pretty much has it's own self sustaining economy with much of the taxes going into defenses which later is recycled back into the economy.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure in Depthopolis is unlike any other with all of its, Dimensional Interactions, Anti Gravitational Fields, Floating Districts kept up by many number of phenomena, Deep Water Districts, Caverns, Cave Districts, Habitats and the like.   Depthopolis' most Breathtaking structures have to be its major Spacerippers, and especially their Environmental Habitation Sectors

Guilds and Factions

The Sulfuric Union

Tourism

Many of the Multiverse flock to see Depthopolis and its technical marvels as well as Depthopolis just being a really beautiful city in many areas. It breaks away from many of the norms found in other dimensions by breaking the mold and including as many new laws of physics into its crystalline structure as it can handle. Anti Gravity, "Magic Spells", portal physics, you name it, Depthopolis almost always has it.   Along with that, many of the main districts in Depthopolis contain beautiful architecture, incredible orientation, and jaw-droppingly art that captivates the mind of tourists   ----_---_ Are you telling me these guys don't know what a concert is?! That isn't true, they have Theatres, Museums, Art Exhibitions, Convention, Stadiums, Theme Parks of all sorts, and you're saying you looked around and didn't see a single musical concert!? No, nono, I'm gonna go out to see and show you what for! _--__-_-----
