Merm City

Merm City is a megacity and location in the Age of Information. In the Age of Steel and the Age of Knowledge it was known simply as Merm.

Description
Merm City is the most populous city in the known world with almost 130 million inhabitants. It is also the most densely populated as people are cramped in the small apartments of the city’s old town skyscrapers. There is a saying of ‘living in Merm City’ translated as being as impoverished as one could possibly get. The city’s slums cover three quarters of its surface and crime and diseases run rampant, making it one of the worst arbitrator stations in the Union.

But while the vast majority of the city’s population live on the edge of starvation there is money to be made in Merm City, which is likely why it still exists. Labor is, of course, cheap and with so much trouble going on it does not require a great deal of effort to establish businesses away from the prying eyes of the government.

Even the Union finds the city useful, which prevents a military crackdown. Certain branches of government, or industries those branches are dependent upon, has a need for performing tests and experiments which would not look well to the general public. But in Merm City no one is surprised if the neighbor is missing – indeed it might earn you a few extra credits from renting out the apartment.

The city has large numbers of human and orc inhabitants, but the other races are present as well.
