Cascadia

Summary

Cascadia is a country within North America, which used to be most of the North American West Coast. Formation Day marks it's annual anniversary of the formation of Cascadia, and the introduction of The Triumvirate to the planet.

Cascadia is currently a country that is controlled completely by The Triumvirate, and acts as it's original base, for the Sprawl System.

Chromed Out 1 took place in PACIFICA-2, within Cascadia.

The Zones

Cascadia is split up into four zones, which are populated by individuals based on wealth, employ status, criminal record, income, and general usefulness to anything happening within the scope of The Triumvirate.

ZONE-1: Primarily a large slum, incorporates most of what used to be Los Angeles, which is now LA-1, and everything below it, which used to be Southern Californa and Baja California, all the way up to The Firewall, which was put in place to attempt to fight [[The Blaze]. ZONE-1 is also home to Z1DF, a massive detainment facility that functions as a mega-prison, and an enormous datacenter which runs The Sprawls, and SprawlNET. Most people within ZONE-1 are very poor, and crime runs rampant in this area.

ZONE-2: What used to be middle to northern California. Most people in Cascadia live in this zone. Home to PACIFICA-2, a very overcrowded, and incredibly expansive megacity, on top of what used to be San Francisco. ZONE-2 also houses the RootSHARD, a Shard, or the central control facility of The Triumvirate, placed where Palo Alto within Silicon Valley used to be. ZONE-2 also houses the SPRAWLROOT, a massive towering datacenter that handles everything happening within the SprawlNET.

ZONE-3: What used to be Washington and Oregon, centric to ROSE-3, or what was once Portland. A much more wealthier area, this is the third most populated Zone within Cascadia. Primarily houses wealthy corporate excutives of the industrial sector.

ZONE-4: A barely recognizable area that houses the ultra-wealthy, and Triumvirate-adjacent executives and corporates, and their families. Not much is known about this place purely on the basis that people aren't allowed to enter Zone's that are higher than the Zone that they currently live in, except under certain special circumstances. Most people don't ever make it here, but it is largely rumored to be along the lines of a "City of Glass," rather utopian and beautiful.
