== Notable Goods ==
Akihabara produces movies, animation, video games, hentai, pornography, and the latest and greatest gadgets.  Cybernetics are created here and its really neat to have some cybernetic augmentation.  Teens and other bystanders, however, tend to go for style over substance.  People from all over the Colonies come to Akihabara to attend the various Manga Conventions held semi-annually.

Akihabara is also infamous for being the major producer of the [[Pleasure Droid]] series by Mastumoto Cybernetics, ltd.  The pleasure droid models are apparently biological and are programmed to fulfill the wishes of their owner.  The market for pleasure droids outstrips the apparent demand since the other Colonies have outlawed Pleasure Droid production.

Akihabara is governed by Governor Oshiro Hachirobei for the Emperor and the Shogunate.  The Governor has twenty Daimyos under him, and through that some major and minor Samurai.
