Metropolis' History
After World War II, Japan's economy collapsed, and as a result, many American corporations and companies expanded to Japan for cheap labor. The four biggest mega-corporations (Gallant Arms, Omega Global, Amada Industries, and Aegis International) provided Japan with the raw cash needed to build up the city, as well as the design and construction capacities to build the urban zones they were seeking to create. With very little labor restrictions on these corporations, no one batted an eyelash. Refugees from other parts of the world began pouring in due to the sudden increase in jobs and opportunity the corporations provided.
In 1975 all four corporations came to an agreement, to cooperate in a strategic alliance, in which they pooled together resources and technology in order to expand on the city size and actually work together.
By the year 2000, much of Metropolis was constructed in the corporations' image, housing millions upon millions in just one mega-city, up to 800 million in total.
In 2025, The US granted the mega-corporations the ability to govern their sections of the super-city so long as they are under supervision by the US and JapFed, as the US needed to focus on their own people.
The Upper city was constructed in 2060 in order to make more space, a large disk-like platform supported by four massive towers, each of which was the headquarters of a mega-corporation which only helped them build up even further. The Upper City somewhat succeeded in creating more living space and fitting in the new residents, but it also caused a very clear division between the social classes in Metropolis. If you were rising to the top, you also literally rose to the top, as the Upper City held a standard of living which far outclassed the lower city. With all of the rich and the business moving up a few thousand meters into the sky, the dirt and grime of the city was forced to stay below. 3 in 4 of Metropolis citizens are homeless. Unable to pay for housing or lack of housing in the first place.
Present - Many refugees, such as yourselves, have begun moving to Metropolis for the vast opportunities to be found there. All kinds of work is available in Metropolis.
