Sodom

**Holy State of Sodom** (*神聖国家ソドム*) is a nation that prospered thousands of years before the event of Paradise Lost. It is a great religious nation that deems its enemy as heretics as an excuse to used force to expand its territory. The population of Sodom is extremely high to the point that people could be compared to mere dust. The nation's technology is so advanced it could be considered a 'magic-science". They started space exploration and might just conquer the moon. In addition to the genius mind of Nerose Satanael, connection with higher dimensional energy and biological weapon in the name of Angels also under their disposable.

The nation is run by Senates that dictated everything. Satanael parents were also part of this Senates.

The nation is divided into 10 sections according to the Sefirot diagram, with **Keter**, The Crown is the highest part where the ruling class such as Satanael and his parents or Mortalia lived. If they live in the city under any of these 10 sections, no matter what kind of people or what crime they commit, they are guarantee a human right.

In contrast, those who lived outside of the city (Caina, Antenora, Ptolomaea, and Judecca) don't consider to be human. They lived in wrench full of violence and crime. Only the strong will survive there. Lot and his gang were active in **Judecca**, the lowest part of Sodom.

The nation came to an end when Satanael initiate Project Paradise Lost which brought the war between Angels and Demons, destroyed the majority of the city in the process. In that event, Lot released a tremendous amount of Sin that severed the ley line, separated the city from the outside world. Eventually, become an "Isolated City".

## Isolated City

**Isolated City**, (*隔離街*) is a ruin of what used to be a great state of Sodom after the Armageddon that happened thousands of years ago. Due to the high amount of Sin covering the city, a wall of miasma surrounded the place which does not allow anything to enter or leave the area. Only a few individuals with a connection can have contact with the outside world. The city is completely chaotic, law enforcement is non-existence and citizens are allowed to do whatever they pleased. Crime, murder, and other unspeakable acts occur every corner. It could be said that "Survival of the fittest" is the only law here. Cybernetic enhancements, clones, and mutants are roaming around the place. Food and water are artificially made and are expensive, nutrition pills have become more common.

The city is separated into 3 districts, be it S (Safe), D (Danger), and M (Murder), with S consists of 4 layers, D consists of 5 and M consists of a total of 13. The majority of the city is run by Ähnlichkeit Viper, a crime organization that has contact with the Outside. They govern from S1 to D3. Meanwhile, M district is almost inaccessible due to the presence of a poisonous miasma that corrodes everything, with the exception for Lyle, Nacht and Angels who have a connection to the higher plane (Nacht can regenerated using miasma there as well). Even so, the area is still called "*El Dorado*" because it contains lost artifacts from the era of the Old Sodom.
