New Manhattan is one of the seventeen arcologies of the Commonwealth of Earth, and is widely regarded as the key political successor of the former United States of America. The military-industrial complex has long dominated New Manhattanite society - justified by an endlessly soaring threat of terrorism and a jingoistic, nostalgic national mythology - with basic rights such as food stamps, affordable education and healthcare, and even steady employment opportunities being extended only to those who have served in its police force, in the New Manhattanite section of the Commonwealth Defence Force, and/or in other branches legally recognised as part of the arcology's national security apparatus, which typically entails the border force and private military contractors.
