Blaze City was founded in 2120 two years after the Great North American War ended and was built in what remained of New York City in the now renamed Harpu State, named after Senator Auguste Harpu. The city itself grew over time to go from having eight districts to thirteen, as well as the city being placed under control by the Blaze City Council and Senior Council and the police force being replaced by a national, government funded military company called Sector Xero.

## History

### Founding

Blaze City was founded by Walter Jepson, a politician and one of the very few survivors of the New York City Incineration during the fifth year of the Great North American War, in 2120 in what once was New York City in the now reformed Harpu State, as a way to make North America rebuild into the extraordinary continent it once was. The Governmental Union of North America funded the creation of Blaze City as well as a dozen others as part of the 'Rebuild North America' program, which was to build hundreds of cities across North America, and employed several construction conglomerates to build the city, which took nine years to fully complete. Blaze City was finished in 2129 and consisted of eight districts. It was immediately declared a technology capital and gave cheap, low class housing to those who had lost their homes during the war.

### Evolution and Expansion

Over the years, Blaze City grew more and more popular with people not just in the country, but also around the world, being just as known as its predecessor. Though despite being a popular place to live and visit, the cities crime rate grew to unbelievable rates and eventually leading to G.U.N.A replacing the police force with a government funded military company, Sector Xero, which did helped lower the crime rates, but not dismantle them completely. But installing a new police force wasn't enough, and G.U.N.A soon established the Blaze City Council to help manage the city and the Blaze City Senior Council to control the city and report back to them. It didn't take long after the instalment of these forces for them to become corrupt, with Sector Xero abusing their power with over the top weaponry, the City Council living entitled lives and threatening the poor into getting what they want and the Senior Council not caring about the lower classes and only wanting to protect and help the higher class.

As well as gaining a corrupt justice system, Blaze City ran into overpopulation problems, with too many people being in both the higher class and lower class districts. To handle the problem, the Blaze City Council came up with expanding the sit more and adding twenty-two more districts to the city and offered it up to the Senior Council, who give authorisation to projects and votes within the council, who instead proposed that they add five more districts instead. This plan was approved and the city expansion began, taking seven years to complete each district fully. The districts added were manly used for housing different needs, such as adding a fashion, entertainment, industrial, shopping and a rich residential district, home mostly to wealthy crime families and corrupt corporate officials. The expansion was a great success, but still didn't make that much of a change for the overpopulation problems in the city slums.
