Evermarch

Chapter 1
Already the car was filling up with smoke. Johnny didn’t mind, the cops didn’t go out much these days, the roads were always quiet, and he was too wasted to care much about anything

Chapter 5 (DEC 1)
These days Evermarch had calmed down a bit. There were less killings and almost no violence in the Temple. It was as if a fever had run its course and a new normal was beginning to take shape.
Evermarch at night:
They were south of the river now, meandering through the deserted night-time streets. What little traffic remained in Evermarch had long since ceased, the buses had stopped running before it had even got dark, sticking to the times from when there had been a curfew in place. The only people that went about at this time of night were either running furtive errands, or spivs, or heretics.
There is a river, you can be south of it
there had been a curfew before, now not - still quiet at night
Areas of the city
Shields and into South Bannock
Main street is Saint John street
Despite everything, the Committee, the army, and the curfew, there were still men and women brave enough, and thirsty enough, to go to the pubs on St John’s Street and get drunk seeing in the New Year. (Chapter 10)

Infrastructure
In theory the recently created Evermarch Intranet was available for his education and entertainment, but like most people he had heard the stories of the muta monitoring it and kept his PC resolutely offline.
the telephone is free Evermarch Council did not have the heart to cut people off for not paying their bills.
There is pirate radio: The guard listened to pirate radio until they lost the signal outside Evermarch and then his own music after that. (Chapter 8)
There is local TV and local papers.
Besides, it was farcical. There were only three functional building firms left in Evermarch, and between the three of them they could just about put a conservatory on a moderately-sized house. (Chapter 10)
The People
Either that or they had thought he was a Prospect clansman and not a Evermarcher, who were altogether a lot more bother.
Slavery in Evermarch
Not many of the laity cared about the Temples anymore, and they dealt with God the same way as they dealt with taxes or a trip to the dentist. 
It was just another chore to be carried out. If your car wouldn’t start, then you took it to the garage, got it fixed and paid the mechanic. If you had committed a sin, then you took it to the church, made a sacrifice and some empty promises to the priest. Everyone wanted to forget the dark days of just after the reditus. The desire of everyone to just get things back to normal was something that the church couldn’t fight. It was a summation of small actions carried out by individuals that added up to a tidal wave of disinterest. Every time someone did a sneaky bit of work on a Sunday, every time they forgot to wear tassels on their coat, every time an unmarried couple decided to risk going outside together, they added to it. Thorman had no interest in stopping it, and the Committee couldn’t, that was for sure. He sometimes wondered if even God Himself could stop it. The attitude was generally “God is here? Great. Can he fix my washing machine? No? Then what use is this news to me?” Half the world would slide into hell for the sake of a black pudding supper. (Chapter 10)
Culture
Chapter 3: Now he got his rolls from the minimarket by the library and his soto ayam from the warung.
Old Tech is used more, due to lack of infrastructure and also to keep clear of the muta:
He wasn’t working today, so spent half an hour choosing a VHS tape to watch. There was never anything on the TV and video recorder would be confiscated by the muta if they found it, but as long as he was kept the screen turned away from the window and the sound low, he was fine. He put Die Hard on, but after ten minutes he realised his eyes were resting on the letter.
When the Army arrives
‘Not just them. There is blood on the streets again. Just after the reditus, the city went bananas. It was anarchy for months. Hundreds of people died. It calmed down when the church formed all the hot heads into an army and sent them north on a crusade. Now they are back though and it’s all kicking off again. Believe me, you don’t want to go there.’ (Chapter 11)
