Megalopolis of Los Angeles

In Simulacrum, the Megalopolis of Los Angeles is a quasi-city-state located on the west coast of the North

American continent. It is under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the Americas. It is the second most populous megalopolis in the Corporation, just behind the North American regional capital, the Megalopolis of Toronto. Los Angeles is also the financial capital of the North American region.

Post World War III History
After World War III had devastating effects on the city, much of Los Angeles was rebuilt despite the fact that massive storms and really hot weather was beginning to take its toll on the population. However a 7.8 earthquake in 2102 that ruptured the southernmost portion of the San Andreas Fault caused even more devastation through all of Southern California. It was after this earthquake that the city was rededicated and plans to build a protective geodesic lattice over the city were taken up. The first lattice over Los Angeles was completed in 2105.

Over the next 100 years, several hundred more lattices were built, and as more Southern California cities in the greater LA area wanted their own lattices too, they were annexed by the city. This was called the megalopolis phenomenon, and was occuring in other cities throughout the Corporation of the Americas, as more lattices were needed and more cities turned into larger state-like cities.

After the Megalopolis of New York City was ravaged by a massive hurricane in the year 2169 and survivors abandoned the area, Los Angeles took up the role of the Corporation's North American financial centre.
