_____
The large area where the usa is classified as a mix between aristocracy and a democratic republic.
This is critical to know when the story plays out
_____
Politics in this area are corrupt, and ran by a league of gangsters. Crime capitals are very beautiful and focused on business. Poorer areas suffer, areas in the middle are decently clean and nice.
This is because of the focus on money, and depriving everyone under the social status into conforming around the top leaders. Their votes are still counted for presidents (there are 2 presidents, 1 vice president, 1 house, one judicial branch)
Electoral college still exists, in fact.. Its favored.
The gangsters are divided into certain areas/states, and each one gangster leads their own crime ring. There is no head, but they are all cooperating with each other.The mafia is smaller than the league itself, but there are recruits everywhere. The largest is the Stien mafia. Their direct focus is to be on the top of a social reform. Reformers of society, twisting votes, saving children from the league. The mafia is still terrible: killing innocents, taking and dominating businesses, trafficking slaves and other common cartel items.
Cults are very uncommon, but the largest is cult of Heron. Heron himself doesn't have records. He claims to be a God, and his cult is focused on a direct democratic reform with equal love and rights.
The cult is partnered with the Stien Mafia.
