List of Cities under Combine Control

Cities, also known as Metropolitan Areas, are large; Combine-urban controlled communities. Each city has a Nexus and often local Resistance cells. Union forces and large walls keep cities safe from alien wildlife like antlions and headcrabs.
* City I: Located in Miami, FL, the city is the 1st city to be established by the Combine, on December 24th, 2018, 2 months after the end of the 7HW in October 24th, 2018. The Combine has established this city for our Platinum tier loyalists, who will enjoy the sunny beaches & exquisite spas of Miami. As is with every city, however, recently, a Resistance cell has developed. The Vizcaya Museum & Gardens has been chosen as the Nexus, to protect Miami from Resistance attacks
* City II: Located in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire. Côte d'Ivoire in Region III/Africa has always been a source of big problems to the Combine. Due to it being ravaged by the 7HW back in October 2018, with the Grande Mosquée de Yamoussoukro serving as Yamoussoukro's Nexus. The city is, essentially, an big slum, with non-existent education or healthcare services, and an underfunded Combine force. But compared to other cities in Africa like Mogadishu (City 10) or Johannesburg (City 20), it is paradise.
* City III: Located in Tromsø, Norway. Succeeded only by Berlin (City 6) & Madrid (City 23), Tromsø is the 3rd best city to live in Region II/Europe. The Combine here wear unique armor in the style of Norway's flag - Red, Blue & White. The Tromsø Cathedral is used as the Nexus. Unlike most cities, when cars are only available to Gold class tier loyalists, due to the Snowy winter, cars in Tromsø are almost a necessity, this is why they have removed the "Gold class tier only" requirements for cars, especially S.U.Vs.
* City IV: Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Historically, Belfast was considered as the center of The Troubles period in Irish history. Irish Republicanism was still high when the Combine turned Belfast into City IV it is today, with the Belfast City Hall reestablished as the Belfast Nexus. The city has always ended last on the Region 2 Quality of Life Index. Antlion outbreaks have been common the past few years, including the infamous 2020 South Belfast Antlion outbreak. 
* City V: Located in New Orleans, Louisiana. A huge populated city isolated by the surrounding Swamp that is left mostly in ruins following the 7HW, and an breeding ground for Antlions & Headcrabs, with the St. Louis Cathedral used as a Combine Nexus to look over New Orleans.
*City 6: Located in Berlin, Germany. The Combine damaged Berlin severely during the 7 Hour War, with many of its historical monuments reduced to shambles. The Berlin Cathedral and the Berliner Fernsehturm still remain however. The Combine established the Berlin Cathedral as a Loyalist paradise. The Berliner Fernsehturm was transformed into a major Nexus headquarters for the Civil Protection. The Brandenburg Gate is destroyed and parts float around in the Spree River making it easy to loot for metal to sell. Reichstag Building is used as a housing complex for loyalists with a silver tier loyalty level. This complex has its own Combine guards who wear a unique Red & Orange outfit. The Humboldt University of Berlin is used as a large Combine garrison for synth forces. The Mühlendamm has not been touched during the war and is fairly in decent shape as the combine use it for checkpoint around the parts of Berlin. Antlion attacks are frequent in this city, though in recent years the Combine has established large thumpers on the outskirts of the city & the area around Checkpoint Charlie, which have greatly restricted the annual attacks.
*City 7: Located in New York City. Police in this city are known to be strict even by CMB standards. The city is also notorious for being very poor.
*City 8: Located in Tokyo, Japan. City 8 is a large metroplex and one of the most populated cities in the world. Large portions of the outer wards of Tokyo like Saitama, Kawasaki south of the Tama River, Yokohama and Chiba were torn apart in the 7HW which restricts City 8 to wards closer to the city centre, thus making it extremely compact and hard to properly manage. The Tokyo Metro acts as a way to get around the city with its multiple intact train stations. the Citadel stands in what was formerly the Imperial Palace and Chiyoda.
*City 9: Located in Jakarta, Indonesia. A large city on the Indonesian coastline in the west. It has a high industrial count with the biggest products daily for the combine. The Istiqlal Mosque is used as Jakarta's Nexus.
*City 10: Located in Mogadishu, Somalia. This city has been used by the Combine for weapon experiments which have led to the creation of a permanent thick fog covering the entire city, sun rays barely pass through it. The city has been abandoned since the Combine cannot operate there anymore and is now a dead city, filled with zombies and other Xen creatures. It might be a good refuge for some rebels & scrap dealers but it's really hard to survive there for more than two weeks without being killed by creatures or the acidic rains.
*City 11: Located in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. Known for its tall apartment complexes that tower the Central District and its expression of Brazilian culture and language. the city is not in good condition however power and sewage systems have been kept up by the combine as well as the citadel powering the city.

*City 12: Located in Bangor, Maine. A small populated city with poor economy. The Combine uses the Maine Discovery Museum as a Nexus, with Antlion & Headcrab populations having quadrupled since 2022. It is mostly a desolate city, with destroyed tanks & jets from the Seven Hour War in the City Limits.
*City 13: Located in Lilongwe, Malawi. An overpopulated Slum in Region III/Africa. The Malawi Revenue Authority building was used as a Nexus until December 2020, when it was bombed by Resistance terrorists. Currently, a Citadel is being constructed in the Mchesi Slum Area to keep City 13 under control.
*City 14: Located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The metro system helps connect Mexico City (City 19) & Austin (City 30) with each other, helping connect Mexico & The United States. The city was established for Platinum-tier loyalists. With thousands of loyalists and citizens, the Solmar Resort has been made to the city's Nexus.
*City 15: Located in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. A hot overpopulated city with no communications. No OTA, no gunships, no dropships, no APCs, no security systems, and no wealth. Only Civil Protection Units are within this city. A Nexus was recently established in the city's Ertugrul Gazi Mosque.
*City 16: Located in Kampala, Uganda. The city was heavily affected by the Seven Hour War with almost every single building in the city damaged in some way, if not destroyed completely. The Combine has been trying to rebuild however all the apartment buildings in the city are destroyed or damaged so badly they are uninhabitable. So many people are homeless. The St Mary's Cathedral Rubaga is used as a major Nexus for Civil Protection and Overwatch soldiers alike. Antlion attacks happen commonly in City 16.
*City 17: Located in Cairo, Egypt or Marrakesh, Morocco. A large metropolitan area in North Africa and is the most integral part of all the cities, As it has the only portal to the Combine overworld located at the top of the Citadel, Located somewhere in Egypt or Morocco according to the most popular theories. City 17 also houses the large districts of District 47 and Industrial 17.
*City 18: Located in Murmansk, Russia. This city is not well known to relocate unless forced to, as the amount of waste and radioactive dumping's by the combine cause the city to be very unhealthy and rations are delayed on time ether by antlion attacks on the city's train lines and industrial areas.
*City 19: Located in Mexico City, Mexico. The The Angel of Independence stands strong as a massive rally point for all Mexican citizens and military alike. With huge banners and flags waving anywhere, the combine establish it as the most Honored city in Mexico and South America/Region IV with the highest population count with over a billion of people. The Mexican city is also one of the safest with no antlion attacks or resistance. The city's metro links Cabo San Lucas (City 14) with the world, by having a stop on Austin (City 30)
*City 20: Located in Johannesburg, South Africa. A poor South African city. This leads to many attacks from Antlions and wildlife invasions with the city being just a regular slum area. The cities land marks are completely wiped out off the grid, the South African people suffer everyday because of the combine rule. The Combine holds a strong grip on the cities' slum area and government buildings to show what is left. Advisors are present around parts of the city but not frequent.
*City 21: Located in Casablanca, Morocco. Located 20 km from City 17. It's landscape and building style is greatly similar to City 17 with Arabic style apartment building as well as 19th-century buildings. As well as being a similar size to City 17. It is a very overpopulated city.
*City 22: Located in Acre, Israel. The city is half sunken and destroyed due to the 7HW and earthquakes itself, the population is very low with only a loyalist count. There are no OTA units in the city but only around the outskirts on large platform rigs that can protect the city. The only way to the city is by Air, which has lead to the city's skyline being full of helicopters & airplanes.
*City 23: Located in Madrid, Spain. This modest city was known to it's famous architecture and history of Spain. The Plaza de España is used as a large entertainment ground for people who want to do see boxing matches and for the loyalists and poor. And for overlord ranking advisors to watch too. The people are mostly well clean and healthy and the city is too big for antlions to gain a dominance off. Like Bilbao they both share a hold in common. Everyday citizens would become safe and would prosper around everywhere. The trains and cars are once again in use. You can basically hear a modern day pre-war society as the common aren't harsh towards it at all. Madrid has it's governmental block with politically large numbers of loyalist choosing what to replace and what to improve on. Jobs are hard but are worth it. With a sustainable environment people live in harmony with the combine. The Plaza Mayor is even used as apart in Madrid and is used for governmental and Advisor Kings only. The Royal Palace of Madrid is currently being rebuilt due to the destruction of the 7HW which caused the city to inflate and collapse, causing a major break and death toll towards the people. Madrid is the like a non stop limit spanning civilization which will forever grow.
*City 24: Located in Kabul, Afghanistan. Not much is known about City 24, only that it's a poor city in Asia/Region V, with the Presidential Palace serving as an Nexus. Most of the buildings in Kabul are made out of bricks. The Taliban still operates in City 24, often launching terrorist attacks against The Combine. Ever since the walls were torn down by Taliban terrorists, City 24 has been infected with antlions & headcrabs. 
*City 25: Located in Ürümqi, China. As if the problems of the East Turkmeni citizen's problems weren't worse, when the Combine took over China & Asia/Region V all together, The Combine basically established a Apartheid system in City 25. The Combine has kept much of Ürümqi's surveillance system, and have enacted Jim Crow laws.
*City 26: Located in Lagos, Nigeria. The City has a large booming population, with the former nation of Nigeria having a large population, the Combine couldn't kill out most of the citizens so the population still remains. However the city is divided into slums areas and poor buildings that are rotten down. The combine have no bother in repairing it in anyway. Most areas are mainly the same and are decay rapidly. Antlion attacks have been small since the city is so big and mainly populated that it is impossible to wipe out an entire area. With alot of CPS and OTA units being made there in Nigeria it has serviced the combine as a breading ground to make more Synth units. The Suppression field isn't as brutal in Europe or America but more a lot more soft as they want to keep the population growing. Resistance is quite small as most Nigerian people dare oppose the CMB as the Loyal CPS are everywhere and in every place making it hard to rebel. A Citadel is present in the heart of Lagos and the Shoprite Festival Mall is used as a governance building for Council members and gold tier Loyalists. The Financial District is turned into a loyalist ground, and most Mosques are used as OTA garrisons and look out points for any resistance attacks or nearby invasions of antlions. The city is a hell hole that is described by the Native people there and is best to avoid it at all costs, even if you are looking for safety from the antlions.
