ECONOMY

The economy relies primarily on technology, scientific research, communications, and large corporations. LexCorp is one of the city's most powerful companies, controlled by billionaire Lex Luthor.

Metropolis has a relatively low crime rate compared to Gotham and Dark City. However, its economic and scientific importance makes it a constant target for terrorists and supervillains.

GOTHAM CITY

Location: East Coast of the United States
Founded: 17th Century
Nickname: The City of Crime

HISTORY

Gotham City is one of the oldest and most important cities in the United States. For centuries it was a huge industrial and financial center, but its growth also attracted political corruption, organized crime, and some of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the country.

For decades, Gotham was dominated by crime families and corrupt officials. The situation reached its peak during the rise of organized crime and later with the emergence of costumed criminals and increasingly bizarre threats.

Unlike Dark City, Gotham wasn't completely abandoned by national authorities. However, its internal problems made it seem impossible to regain control of its streets for years.

CRIME

Gotham has one of the highest crime rates in the country. Traditional organized crime still wields influence, while numerous independent criminals operate within the city.

The presence of supervillains also made Gotham a unique case. People like the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin, Two-Face, and other criminals have caused crises capable of affecting the entire city.

BATMAN: Gotham is primarily protected by Batman and his extensive network of allies. Although officially considered a vigilante, some residents regard him as the main person responsible for keeping criminal organizations in check.

The relationship between Batman and the authorities is complicated. Some departments cooperate with him, while others consider his methods illegal.

DISTRICTS

Gotham is divided into numerous districts with different characteristics. The financial district is home to businesses and large buildings, while the poorer neighborhoods suffer from higher levels of crime.

Arkham Island is home to the famous Arkham Asylum, an institution for criminals considered mentally unstable.

Governor: Jim Warren Half, an elected politician, and also one of the most useless and stupid governors in existence.
Neighborhoods: Asia Town, a small neighborhood where most of the Asians who migrated to Dark City reside, and also one of the safest neighborhoods due to the strong sense of community and the care they give it.

Neighborhoods: Western Light, one of the many neighborhoods where African American and Black people reside. It's one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city, but only for those who don't live there. Gangs take it upon themselves to "protect" the people of Western Light, though the definition of "protect" is somewhat twisted, born from the trauma of those who lived through the neighborhood's darkest times.

Neighborhoods: Strongers South, the wealthiest neighborhood in the city and one of the safest. Wealthy people like politicians, the governor, and other important figures reside there, and they are generally absurdly classist and racist towards people from outside the neighborhood, and generally towards anyone.

Dark City was founded in 1876 under the name South City, during the presidency of billionaire Horace Bellary. In its early years, South City was one of the most promising cities in the country due to its advanced infrastructure. However, over time, its reputation and safety declined due to the emergence of warring factions that caused riots, shootings, murders, and robberies in the city. In 1910, President Washington Wayatt officially changed its name to Dark City.
Dark City surpassed several cities like Gotham in crime, thanks to the country's neglect of the city and the authorities' refusal to intervene. This placed the entire burden on the politicians who governed Dark City, who, under pressure, ended up resigning from the presidency, either because they couldn't manage it or because of death threats they received from the criminal groups that controlled the city's streets.
