Population: 23m.
Government Type: Democratic Corporate Free State under World Court jurisdiction, nominally part of the United States of America.

A ring city grouping of several 20th century southern California cities, among them Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Tijuana and San Diego, this megalopolis survived nuclear bombing during WW3 and recovered enough to grow into the bay all the way to Santa Catalina island. Megacorporations such as OTEC, Eagle and Militech built stack apartments and then more sophisticated arcologies in a semi-circle around the bombed core of the old city and helped the area to recover. Inter-ethnic bloodshed during the Plague Years and the separatist Republicano (Hispanic) movement that swept across the south-western United States in the 2030s lead to San Angeles being ethnically-cleansed in some sections, but the city’s new World Court-appointed Council has managed to reintegrate most of the ethnic enclaves that were set up in the 2040s. With two new megascrapers coming online under the guidance of the hyper-evolved AIs EXTROand Helios, San Angeles is booming and regaining the fame it held during the golden years of Hollywood™ (now owned by Sense/Net megacorporation).
