The city-state where all of this happens, and the rules it runs on.
Places
- Talaris, an island city-state west of Palawan, and the first city on Earth running on cold fusion.
- The JD Strip, the dense eastern corridor where most of the population lives, across four districts.
- University of Talaris, the research campus where the VDMH-1 reactor architecture was engineered.
How it works
- The Optional Work Week, the corporate-funded dividend that redefined full-time work as roughly twenty hours.
- PWR UP, which began as a song hook and ended up as the city’s civic gesture.
