====HISTORY====
This port city-state is located on the borders between '''Georgia''' and '''Turkey''' on the '''Black Sea'''. When the v’sori took over the Earth they built a city north of the ruins of ‘’’Batumi’’’ (a Georgian port city that was bombed early in the invasion) to which to conduct operation in the '''Middle East''' and '''Africa'''. They forced immigration on many humans to work in building the city to their liking and to work in new industries that they created (for goods that v’sori wanted). At the end of their occupation the city’s population was just over two million humans.

After the v’sori retreated they abandoned the city they along much of their technology. This has led to a boom of investments by tech giants and sponsors for the creation of factories and labs to reverse engineer their tech for human use. Today the population has more than doubled to five million and has become an independent city-state from Georgia, which is still reeling from v’sori force relocation of much of the population and exploiting of its resources. The population of Georgia today is less than a million inhabitants and they mostly concentrated on farmers and animal husbandry.

Echo City has become a world leader in technologies developed from these abandoned stores and has also become a leading nation helping the world rebuild. They have also started investing in Georgia along with several Middle Eastern and African nations to produces various secondary technology that they require to produce these technologies. This includes the world funded and developing Space Elevator in the '''Republic of Congo'''. The v’sori had been planning the projects themselves and researchers at Echo City discovered this project and shared the info with the world. This ‘elevator’ will not be completed or operational until 2025 but Echo City is a major advocate for its completion.

But of course, not all is good with this situation. This abandoned tech was so extensive that it also drew the criminal element here to gain access and exploit what they can to advance their own criminal activities. The city has tried to secure as much of this tech as they could, but the v’sori were found of secret sites and testing facilities and they spread them through the city and region.

The most powerful and active of these tech gang in the city are '''''CyberGang''''' who are lead by the unhinged '''''Overkill'''''[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/9218374228264640/]. The v'sori had a number of secret testing facilities set up here where they were imlanting criminals with advanced cybernetic systems to see if they could create different versions of the Drones. As things fell apart these test subects escaped with a great deal of stolen weapons and other tech. These days they are searching for more cybernetic systems and weapons left by the aliens while robbing banks and other criminal activity to fund their lifestyles.

And the v’sori did not just abandoned their tech, but in some cases their own people and allies. Thousands of v’sori soldiers, techs and scientists were left behind in the final retreat along with k’tharen soldiers and other alien allies. In Echo City most of these have settled in District Nine when the city tied to building housing that would accommodate them but in the form of block looking apartment buildings. Most of these were abandoned over the years by the alien residents and now inhabited by the city’s poor. The alien refugees built they own dwellings but these appear to be very shanty-like construction and is mostly a slums today. There are a few pockets of development, but they are few and far between. Clashes between humans and aliens are common here and law enforcement is minimal… except for the unofficial ‘Blue Guard’ a v'sori gagn that runs much of the district. 

A new crisis the city is facing comes with the appearance of the metahuman mercenary group known as the '''''Crushers''''' which have been raiding many advance tech industries, and holding facilities. The authorities have not been able to piece together any patter to their raids except it includes advanced computer and general scientific research in industrial produces.

Despite these challenges the future looks bright for the nation overall. Most residents are happy and secure. But dangers lurk just below the surface (and in the case of the ''Morlocks'', literally right under the surface).
