Queens City - Athens

Athens is a moderately sized, densely populated and vertically-oriented residential district located somewhat west of the Queens inner city districts. It sits along the eastern banks of the Idlewood aqueduct, south of the large suburban pseudo-city of Berkley, west of municipal commercial hub Beckenham, with the lower end market of Keith's Square situated to the distant south. Athens is regarded among the largest residential quarters of Queens despite its somewhat confined geographical size - this is accomplished via massive "super-condo" housing facilities and apartment complexes stretching as high as skyscrapers capable of supporting tens of thousands of residents individually. Athens houses many of these such complexes often interconnected via efficient use of hyperloop transit lines or walkways and overpasses suspended hundreds of metres in the air. As a result, Athens is able to support a population among the largest of Queens city easily achieving the highest population density record and residents per cubic feet.

Infrastructure

Mega apartment complexes and massive housing facilities dot the skyline of athens comparable to the commercial skyscrapers of Newport inner city even. These are efficiently built using Arch Retail Corp's 3d printing technologies many of such allowing complete facilities to be generated and developed completely using 3d printing in what the market refers to as 'Digital Retail'. Affordable cost and maintenance makes such complexes the ideal residence for those looking to sacrifice a degree of space for a bargain price which has contributed to the economic boom regarding mass retail industries. Many such complexes exist throughout much of Cairns though Athens' own mega complex boasts the best prices and subsequent living conditions in the immediate vicinity for those whom do not earn six figure salaries.
The 88 Way, a highway traversing much of the Queens city's area and perimeter, runs through Athens from the south where it splits into separate lines following the Idlewood canals Idlewood and Beckenham streets respectively. The roads split and turn into steep climbs allowing access to numerous complexes and facilities located high above the ground like an additional upper city of sorts.
Numerous bridges cross the canals west into Idlewood and several marinas and docks may be found among the portions of athens which encompass the Bermuda Bay. Beach facilities, recreational boating ports and more expensive hotel and apartment complexes may be found along the southern beaches which always proves a densely populated region.

Guilds and Factions

Many gangs, factions and other such illicit organisations operate in and around the Athens region, such regions are ideal considering population density and ever-heightening underlying crime rates.
UnitOne: an illicit group of hackers, technicians and net-runners, run operations out of the regions many apartment complexes where many such technological loopholes and opportunities are present. Their activities range from tampering with city ISOS infrastructure to the manufacturing of 3d printed contraband such as untrackable firearms and various illicit hardwares.

Geography

Athens may be considered a somewhat coastal region given its proximity to Bermuda Bay and the Gold Coast channel, a body of water spanning the length of western queens separating the two cities. Several beaches dot the coastline though are hardly comparable to the coastlines of Beauclair or the Gold Coast. Athens is otherwise uninteresting geographically speaking with vast quantities of flat landscape perfectly suitable for what retail and development may yet be undertaken.
