Nation: Mercenary Citystates
Region: The Sunbelt
Population: 1,854,143

Overview

Gigantes is the largest city in the borderlands commonly referred to as the Mercenary Citystates. Gigantes' population during the last census was 1,854,143. Residents of Gigantes are called Gigants. The city is an isolated mercenary metropolis over 300 kilometres from any other known human habitation in the centre of the Taylor Desert close to the Taylor Oasis Springs.

Gigantes is the most significant global city within the Mercenary Citystates, exerting its influence on the surrouding cities and states. Gigantes is the economic and political centre for those associated with the entity representing the Mercenary Citystates. It is one of the more dangerous cities to visit or live in within the entire Sunbelt region. The lack of police coupled with the pervasive attitude of money cures all within the residents, helps to ensure that the only law that reigns within this metropolis is that of natural law.

The city itself lacks any true formal political structure. Numerous mercenary groups control the collection of fees, distribution of food, and other amenities that most cities take for granted. The only truly citywide organization that is set in place is for the distribution of water services, along with pipes to remove sewer waste. Even power is not citywide and throughout the city there are numerous power generators powering both houses and buildings.
