Project Six

Located on the northern coast of the island of Hispaniola in what was long ago the Dominican Republic, Project Six is one of the few remaining cities in the world not ruined by warfare or rifts. It boasts a population of around 8 million sprawled over the surrounding mountains and concentrated in massive residential complexes.

### Government

The current government of Project 6 exists in a precarious spot between keeping the people of the city complacent and bowing to the corporate superpowers who could easily replace it with a group more friendly to their needs, as has been done in the past. And though elections might occur they are rarely so free as to allow the people a voice in the laws being passed. Most political parties can just as easily be simplified down into which megacorp you think should hold the reins for a bit, candidates bowing head to the Conclave more than any promises they might make on the campaign trail.

At its head sits the Mayor of Project 6, the person who might most be considered the leader of the city. Beneath them lies a complicated system of councils, departments, agencies and other organizations that keep the day-to-day functions of the city working. And though this entire political machine may put on the facade of democracy, every step of it only ensures that no person but the CEOs of the Conclave can gain power over the city.

### Laws

The laws of Project 6 are a mixed bag. What is legal often depends entirely upon who the act is performed upon, robbery and vandalism might only find punishment if they are done to a Conclave-backed group, and then the punishment could be as serious as immediate execution. The laws themselves are rather standard, drugs and large-scale weapons being heavily regulated or made illegal.

Enforcing these laws is a different topic. Outside Corporate-owned property police are rarely afforded the equipment, permission, or funding that Conclave forces are allowed to use. Punishments are relaxed, often entirely community service to ensure that they need not wage war against the larger gangs of the city.

It is an open secret that this system solely exists to ensure that the city cannot defend itself without Conclave involvement, never allowing any group to truly militarize. The Conclave claims it is for the safety of the people whilst ignoring the open kill orders to anyone who might dare step on their more secure facilities without permission.
