PENSBURG

Overall, the social climate in Pensburg is like a delicious vanilla ice cream cone dropped on the freshly mopped floor. If it lands on its brown, sturdy, sugary cone instead of the creamy, milky, cold goodness, one might snatch it up and devour it—if no one is looking.

Pensburg is a Southern yet urban city, mostly known for its colorful past drenched in racism and fear. The police there wear black uniforms, and considering the rough and rugged roller coaster they encounter daily, it is for the best. Their local paper, the Pensburg Formentor, is a front to back ass wipe loaded with crime, injustice, and bigotry. At least the weather is wonderful there.

The most popular area in Pensburg is a mildly rundown zone known as The System. It used to be a popping place ages ago, but over the years, high crime and poor upkeep have taken their toll. On the upside, the area is getting a major remodel and clean-up. Most businesses in the System gain their names from parts of the galaxy. There are several points of interest: a divey-yet-delicious diner called Mercury’s Hot Mess Hall, an out-of-this-world shopping experience called Rings-off Saturn Pawn & Gun, and a very public (or pubic) hospital known as Galaxy Health, to name a few. However, the most frequented by far establishments in the System are Venus on Vacation Motel and Uranus Ablaze Adult Entertainment.

Pensburg, or mainly Pluto’s Pharmacy in the System, is well-known for starting the famous We Love You Too, Pluto craze, adorning T-shirts and other merchandise everywhere. DiscardcardCredit and EspecialExpress Credit were founded there, but few places take them as payment. Tarcmart, a direct competitor for the more popular retailer Roach’s Mart, was also established there. Tres Cher, a ridiculously expensive restaurant, is on the System outskirts. So is the tasty, hard-hitting Coochie Coladas brewery.

The major league sports teams in Pensburg are baseball’s illustrious Pensburg Stripes, the so-so Pensburg Inkers in basketball, the drama-filled Pensburg Blots football, and the always-funny Pensburg Stains soccer. Pensburg has no hockey team, but they are slightly interested in acquiring one.

PLUMESWORTHE

Plumesworthe reminds one of a fantastic Champagne or an ultra-fine wine, poured and served in red plastic party cups to drunken college coeds who will vomit it up in a distant alley.

Plumesworthe is a vaguely Northern East Coast town just 200 miles from Pensburg. Much like their newspaper, the Plumesworthe Storyteller, they have an excellent reputation for blustering and boasting about being the best at everything. Try telling that to their grossly underpaid, heavily overworked, tan-wearing cops.

Poshton, the largest zone in Plumesworthe, is a stylish, glamorous area and the happy home of many illustrious industries. The kings of the financial world, Krony-U-Case Credit Union and Viralcard Credit, make their home there. They serve as major employers in Plumesworthe. NNN News, a multimedia giant, and its offshoot RvnBks, a highly esteemed book publisher, are headquartered there. The elegant and luxurious Long-Black-Hill Regency hotel chain started there. The elusive, shrouded-in-mystery Equanimity Insurance Firm is a prominent employer in the Region.

On the far edge of Poshton sits the magnanimous Prostrate & Ramble product manufacturer. Roach’s Mart, a growing chain of popular discount retailers, was founded there by Denis Roach. Khan Glomerate, an umbrella corporation housing many other businesses, was founded there by 2024 presidential candidate Vladimir Khan. Graffitos officially started in Plumesworthe.

Plumesworthe barely excels at sports but regularly claims to be the most outstanding athletic city ever. The Plumesworthe Johnsons are the baseball team; they have the Plumesworthe Billiesin hockey. Basketball and football are the Plumesworthe Jimmies and the Plumesworthe Johnnies, respectively. Rounding out the elite-in-their-own-eyes major league lineup is soccer’s Plumesworthe Dicks.

PONDERER'S POINTE

The social climate in Ponderer’s Pointe is an acquired taste, like a chili-flavored desert. As possibly appealing as the stimulating combination sounds, it somehow does not sit well on the stomach.

Ponderer’s Pointe is a small, intellectual, Northern town with a picturesque view of the Pacific Ocean. They are friendly, literary, mellow, and open-minded for the most part. Still, their boys in blue stay quite busy, investigating unexplained phenomena. One could chalk it up to fumes from the pharmaceutical company Goloma & Soetin, mass-producing their latest prescription drug Dysruptotrol. Or, the homegrown Lagerkoff Brewery and their bizarre yet wildly popular Columbian Coffee, beer, and cinnamon blended beverage. Naturally, their local newspaper, the Ponderer’s Pointe Instigator, is a feast for the eyes.

The central area in the city is Quaintytown, a lovely little historic place that lives up to its name. It is well-known for its gorgeous yet foggy and furtive lighthouse, recently transformed into the Doctor Finnie Kingfisher Healing Center. The revered Reverend Franz Devine’s God’s Only Children Church was founded there.

The other focal points in Quaintytown include the fashionable, amusing, and charming Gettogether Spot Pub & Bar, where most of Ponderer’s Pointe’s large LGBT community AND rabid sports fanatics congregate. That often leads to unfriendly clashes. Medievalla Theme Park is a world-renowned amusement park incorrectly focused on the Medieval period and LARPing. They are open every day of the year, rain or shine, delighting families and free spirits from all around. They are, however, right down the street from the sometimes-raucous Gettogether Spot, which makes for many exciting conflicts.

Ponderer’s Pointe has an outstanding sports legacy for those crazed fanatics at Gettogether Spot. They have the killer PP Foragers in baseball, the unstoppable PP Wanderers in hockey, basketball’s beloved PP Scavengers, the furious PP Plunderers in football, and the PP Hunters slaying soccer.

TELLURIUM RIDGE

Tellurium Ridge is like an older yet reliable model computer. As long as the main components are up to par, there’s always room to improve and run with the newer systems.

Tellurium Ridge has always been a beacon of splendid scientific development, as the city where MetallicSoft Industries, Paleona Oil, and Xin Weapons Corp started. But by 2101, it was also a historically significant madhouse, seated on the super sunny West Coast. So many spectacular events took place in Tellurium Ridge over the decades it was difficult for the TR Provoker Newspaper to keep up. It was tremendously tough for the police department, affectionately known as the Goons-in-Gray. However, they evolved into the nation’s most efficient and respected force.

The watery Riverrun District is the most widely known zone, boasting many exciting establishments by 2101. The Quake~N~Flake snack food heir opened a quaint eatery, Coffeecake Café. They not only serve up tasty treats, but they also serve the community. Electronica sensation Rager-Mage started at the famous studio Makeshift Media, which he eventually bought.

The cross-dressing diva of stage and screen Penny Price owns the much-loved Pickup Penny’s Thrift Store, where he films his widely watched Pickup Penny’s Fashion & Morality Show.

Best Mall & Theaters, previously known as Riverrun Mall & Theaters, is the ultimate hangout spot every day of the week. Nightlights After Dark is a glittery nightclub that serves decent food, precariously cooked by a robot kitchen staff. The lavish L’Empyree Restaurant and Lounge sits high in the clouds, and their prices match the elevation. Grungy Nine-A-Night Motel brags on being the historic site where the nation’s Civil Wars A and B started. The Family and Kids Department, or FAKD, still lazily aids many displaced families and children as the dust of dismay settles.

Tellurium Ridge does not focus significantly on sports, but they manage very well in the rankings. Their major league teams are baseball’s TR Motherboards, hockey’s TR Flash, basketball’s TR Microchips, football’s TR Hard Drivers, and the TR Servers of soccer.
