Silicon Island

Silicon Island is an artificial man made island located off the coast of Virginia. It was founded by the companies Lockheed Martin and Samsung Techwin as a joint military technology developmental zone. The island has a population of around 4 million. It is around the size of Manhattan. The island is considered a UN territory and the people there keep their own nationalities. It is protected by a small force called Judgement. Silicon Island is a level 3 security zone owned by the UN. It is one of the few places in the UN that megacorporations are not allowed to mine data (though some still do).

The island can only be accessed by a ferry from THX Obama airport (located another near by island). The island is constantly patrolled by the US coast guard and several paramiltary groups.

Harbor Town
A middle class village. It contains a lot of the "traditional culture of the island". (Which is only 50 years old.) This area is a bit hostile to new comers. It is a suburban region, and has had a history of a low crime rate. It also contains many classic locations on the island such as Odonnel's pub and the first 1st bank.

Never Dark
is considered the underbelly of the Island. It has the highest crime rate as well as being a place for mercenary work. It is very rarely policed and even Judgment is rarely involved themselves. Triads run the area and leverage their connections in Bejing to keep Judgement happy.

Tribeha
The factories of Silicon is an area that keeps the Island ahead of any other area on the planet in military production. It is surrounded by a class 3 environmental shield to absorb the toxins the factories put out to keep from damaging the rest of the Island and outside ecosystem. It is recommended that everyone who stays more than an hour use a ventilator.

Ridgerow
Is where most of the immigrant workers of the Island live. This area has the cheapest housing and the unofficial language changes every other block. Judgement and the police force constantly raid the area, but have recently seen a rise in segregated gangs.

Transportation

 * THX Obama airport - 3 miles off the main island is the regional airport. It was built for both immigration purposes and to help filter people into the island. After going through the strong check point people are ferried off to the main island. The airport has the highest ranking sound system in the world.


 * Texas-Bush Monorail- A monorail line that loops around the city. Its is the considered one of the fastest transports in the city


 * Subway's Subway - The subway system of the town. Often overcrowded, it does however sell sandwiches at every station!
