Neo Gettysburg or Gettysburg II are the tentative names of an arcology currently in construction by the Columbia Initiative Independence New Manhattan Cooperative Arcology Project - commonly referred by the acronym CINCAP - a pan-North American arcology initiative aimed at cementing the political influence of the American arcologies over the Chinese arcologies' dominance over the Commonwealth of Earth, and as a bulwark against the long-growing influence of the Europe Unity Conference.
The trust aims for the arcology to be populated by large numbers of working poor and undocumenteds from the three other American arcologies - and hopefully immigrants from across the planet and greater Solar System - increasing the economic output of the North American trade zone. The arco's planned capacity is currently placed at 100 million for an optimal construction scenario.
Since the 3989 Xin Xiwang coup seizing control of the Commonwealth government, the acro's funding has been gutted, seeing a mass layoffs of workers, pushing back its construction date, and forcing a lowering of planned capacity targets.
The arcology project is named after the Battle of Gettysburg, an event now mythologised as a heroic battle of the ancient USA pivotal to forging its identity.
