Politics[]
Silver City is notorious for it's political corruption and large crime rate. Partially because of this, it hosts several dedicated Masks. Despite heroes like Seargeant Larutto and others, the SCPD is a notorious hotbed of corruption and crime.
It has a rich crime culture, from Connor McMannus to Doc Crimson, and a variety of aspiring Aug criminals. They've existed in the fabric of the city since before the last century. There are parts of the city law abiding citizens are afraid to even walk into. The murder rate is high in the city, even more than Philadelphia, and is rumored to be higher than the official numbers.
Mayor Fallow has been acting for over a decade. He is under constant critism for rumors of corruptions. Indeed, it seems as though he keeps getting reelceted under nefarious practices. Exactly how he tied up in the city's criminal underworld is yet unknown.
The city looks up, maybe more than most cities, to its Masks. Terrosky and his Havoc Gear, despite the rumors, are celbrities, and the exploits of the Masks are always top news. They are the brightest beacons of hope for some of the most downtrodden.
Hot Zone[]
There's a small Hot Zone a few miles South of the city near a lake. It is reported to be labeled 'HZ-445', although there are no signs to confirm it.
It is swarming with government scientists and military personnel, including agents from Section M. There have been alleged sightings of the Black Guard, which has led to a small panic in some Aug circles.
