New Neon

The world has been stitched together. There are no countries anymore. No governments. No borders in the traditional sense. The old world has been divided, rearranged, and connected through a network of Anchor Gates, allowing people to cross thousands of miles in minutes. A district in London might sit beside one from Tokyo. A ruined American industrial zone might be connected to a corporate city built from pieces of Singapore, Berlin, and Mumbai. Geography has become something corporations control. Every city belongs to a corporation. Each one is a collection of territories scattered across the planet, connected through Anchor Gates and governed by whoever owns the network. Want to cross the world? You can do it in minutes. Can you afford the gate? For those living in the corporate districts, the world is connected. For everyone else, the walls are getting higher. This is New Neon.
