With over 8.8 million residents packed into just 300 square miles, New City is a crowded, fast-paced hub of commerce and culture. The tax burden is heavy, and the bureaucracy can be a persistent headache, but the city's transit system is the envy of the nation, with 54.6% of commuters relying on subways, buses, and ferries. While New City has cleaned up its act in recent decades, it still sees occasional spikes in violent crime, so personal safety is an ongoing concern. This densely populated metropolis is best suited for those who thrive on the energy of a true global capital.
