In the year 2106, [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Paradise_City:Main_Page Paradise City] is a sprawling Arizona metropolis lying in the heart of the Mojave desert.  Great wealth coexists with great poverty here and for most citizens, violence is simply a part of life.  The city was founded in the late 2030s, in order to ease the United States’ population pressure and today is one of the most populous cities in the country.

Government:   Paradise receives little support from the state and federal governments and is mostly autonomous.  The city is a democracy, although hardly anyone bothers to vote. 

Corporations:  Paradise is ultimately controlled by the corporations – money is power.  If the corporations do not control a section of the city, it is probably because that section is not worth owning.

Police:  Although state police are responsible for keeping the roads to Paradise open, the city has its own police force to handle crimes committed within the city limits.  CityPol is broken up into five semi-autonomous forces – Central CityPol, Eastside CityPol, Northside CityPol, Southside CityPol and Westside CityPol.

Technology:  Paradise City has a GURPS Tech Level of 9.
