Major International Cities:
In the aftermath of nuclear war and environmental disasters, civilization is shattered,
and has only been reassembled in small pockets around the globe. The majority of the world's
once-crowded landmasses are barren and lawless. Only a few shining concentrations of wealth
and power remain, and in their urban shadows, desparate masses struggle to survive...
Bangkok, Thailand
This city has evolved into a megacorporate haven and a center of trade and stability in
Asia's sprawling ruin. Its primary exports are cybernetic parts and mass-produced luxuries.
Its dark underside, however, embraces illegal cyberware and commercialized sex industries.
Buried deep in its Katamanja and Patpong districts, trade organizations like the Bangkok
Importers Guild and Yamashiro clan oversee massive export operations all over the
globe. Postwar Bangkok has become a clearinghouse of barely-legal goods and a magnet for
money and power.
