Government

All control of the city is given to the The Tower of Judgement as the capital building. Everything that has to do with taxes, laws, and industry is done right there and there alone. But due to the different levels of the city their a specific rule that only apply to that area only. For example military equipment heads straight to the military level, instead of commerce trading of exotic goods must be done on the commerce level.

Defences

The Tower of Judgement is the biggest defense system in all of the dominions making the city seemingly untouchable due to this. But as a safe safe precaution several other defenses have been put into place to insure the safety of the city. Most notably its energy field to stop all attacks from reaching it and the may missile and guns emplacements that are scatter into key locations around the city.

Industry & Trade

The cities main income comes from the factories that make all the goods along with trade that comes from the outside making exotic more attainable.

Infrastructure

Due to the city being thousands of years old their is a lot of people who built many things. But what stands out about the city is that there is little greenery in the on the surface city. The most interesting thing about the city is that are different layers of the city that were built on top one another over the centuries. There are said to be at least ten levels that make up the city. Their are the railways, which are extremely fast and the most commonly used transport in the city. Just trying to take the only city roads by car isn't as productive as it use to be since they have become more condensed with foot traffic and street vendors. So a bike is the better way to move around. But as for the rest of the infrastructure, it divided in to each level in order to reach maximum efficiency. That is unless you have a hover craft to fly in the air with to get to place to place. But those can be very expensive and take years to master, not to mention all of the flight regulations and protocols that have to be followed by the book or you might just end up get arrested or getting yourself killed.  

Level 1 / Surface

The surface level is the nicest level out of all of them and the safest out of all of them since law enforcement makes sure that no criminal elements are out and about. Most of it is living space for the populace, with some stores for daily needs, along with school, restaurants, parks police stations and the rest of social needs. Of course you have to deal with large crowed streets, noise from the railways and the contestant struggle of life in the city. A few skyscraper were also built for more high ranking members of society as well.  

Level 2 / Entertainment

In order to keep the people happy and not going on wild escapades on the surface, all the entertainment was built on the second level for those who want to relax after a hard days work or cure boredom. You can find every thing here, clubs, sports arenas, casinos, arcades and all the other enjoyable things in life. This is regulated though since thing can get a little out of control when your having to much fun. So special response teams are sent in when thing get out of hand, like sports fan destroying property are their team won or some decided to take drugs and ODs at a club. By doing this it helps keep the area relatively friendly. Criminals don't try to come here either since every thing is under surveillance by security forces in order to keep safe environment since no one wants to have a shootout in the middle of a club.  

Level 3 / Economic

All the the money is made as all of the good are transported and sold through out the districts. corporations and business are the real power in the area and it can often be real messy were companies fight over trading rights and expansion into knew revenue. There have been many "accidents" and unexpected deaths that happen to high ranking owners and corporate officials over the years. Along with a few warehouses and stores suddenly burning to the ground with out notice. It is a bloodthirsty place that people have to work in and if your not smart and ruthless then you are just as good as dead. Not to mention the criminal elements to flourish in this type of environment, most of them have business cards.  

Level 4 / Commerce

Before all the goods can head to economics, they have to go through commerce in order to have it properly satisfy the companies and the consumers meaning that all products and services are tested and sold within and out side the city. Its also in charge of getting more exotic items outside the dominions. Its also the place for merchants to set up their goods in the market Zone were all the trade for exotic and other unreachable items can be bought.  

Level 5 / Agriculture

All the food in the city come from here. Some might say that its not real food and its all process meat shipped right out of a machine, but you would be surprised if you eve went down their. That use to nothing but metal and concrete is now greenery and soil with gardens and farms through out the level. It the most natural you can get in the city, with soil transported to the level to grow grassy fields for livestock, fruits and vegetable and all other types of things. Though there is a draw back to this highly unregulated since nothing but food is make here, so illegal activity common in the area. Even some the farmers get in on it as well make their lives more comfortable.  

Level 6 / Military

The entire military that is stationed in the city are on this level, meaning that it is restricted to non military personnel. It is only accessible to civilians when the city is under attack and are directed to bunker and remain there until the fighting come to an end. As for most of the other time the troops stationed their are often going through training exercises and distributing military equipment and supplies across the dominions. Its on standby for terror attacks or any other potential threats that threaten the city. During these times of crisis the military is on high alert and all available resources are used in the protection of the city. Its also were military experiments take place away from the public.  

Level 7 / Energy

The most important level out of them all, with out level 7 the entirecity would be without power, except for the The Tower of Judgement, which as it own energy grid to power itself for a very long time. This is were all Matrix energy is used to power daily life. Which is high dangerous to mess around in, so it is a restricted area to all but those how work on the level and getting caught can get you in serious trouble.  

Level 8 / Industry

The factory level of the city deep underground and away from the surface. Every type of factory is found on this floor and they are highly productive because of this. Most of them are run by machine since they are more productive, but their are still a few people working in some of the factories. But the job is somewhat stressful since products have to be make certain quota on time and many thing can go wrong such as equipment malfunctions or accidents can often happen. Not to motion the factors are mostly owned by big companies and some of them are known to look for loop holes in laws in order to take advantage of their workers.  

Level 9 / Sanitation

The worst place to work in since no one want to process some one else's waste. All of the city's waste processed here and in can be very gruesome at times. Worker have to wear special suits just to work since they are under ground and much of the air unbreathable because of the waste. People can get sink down there as well since disease can run rampant as well so decontamination zones are made to keep it at a minimum. Most of the waste that is processed is sent down to level 10 in order to make it easier to dispose of the waste safely and efficiently.

Level 10 / Prison

You might be wondering why an entire level would make up a prison of all things, well that mostly because the authorities want to keep the criminals from public eyes and make them fell safe, plus its easier to run one massive prison complex than having multiple ones across the city. Doubly named the Hell Pit, it is mostly made up of the old ruins of city thousands of years ago and is a giant sand pit since the Great Waste has resurfaced since all the infrastructure has mostly corroded away and has allowed it to claim most of the area. As for the prisoners, they are keep in special prison structures and wait out their days until their sentence is finished. But for the none reformable, they are thrown out into the wastes for the rest of their days and will never find a way out. Surprising some of them mange to survive and made their own settlements across the wastes and of wage war against one another for what resources they can find. Some of them even started families as well with other convicted felons, creating of generations of innocents robbed of their freedom and never to see the sun or surface. But most of them take after their ancestors and end as raiders or any other type of scum. It is still up to debate whether these pit born decedents should be allowed to leave at all and become apart of society for they might as well be criminals let on the streets only to return to their hellish home.

Assets

The Tower of Judgement is the biggest asset the city has and it seems that it always will be. The different levels of city also help it by keeping it functioning properly.

History

Founding

Seros was created around The Tower of Judgement its first version as created thousands of years ago by those from the dominions who believed coexistence was possible for all the faction. The first few centuries were the hardest for the settler and their descendants since the Great Waste was a harsh and hostile environment to all who lived on it. So they decided to dig the city under ground and live there instead of above ground, creating the city's levels over time.    

Expansion

As time passed the city was able to slowly take the surface and built over the Great Waste and expanded across the region until all of it was claimed. This of course would be a constant struggle of survival though since the wastes were going to give up without a fight and many newly built parts of the city would be swallowed up by the sands after a few years. But a few thousand years later the entire city would cover up what was left of it.

Architecture

Each level has a different type of architecture type due to the duties that are required of them.

Geography

The city itself was created at the center of the continent and no distinct features since the city was created on the Great Waste and all of it was built over it to make the city. It also has access to all the borders of the dominions so you see a little of everything on the borders of the city.

Natural Resources

Their are no natural resources due to in original being on the Great Waste which had little to begin with since it is completely barren of anything useful. It used it heavily rely on trade to survive, but after the levels began to built one after another it created is own resource through energy and agriculture.
