New York City

{Infobox_Location

New York was once considered the greatest city on earth in the early 1900s, nowadays the metropolis is left with crime-filled streets and has sections of the city cut off known as "lawless zones."

In 1993, Colombian druglords detonated a nuclear device in New York City, killing 15,000 in retaliation for US attacks on Bogota. Arasaka was eventually brought in to protect the city from utter destruction. During The Time of the Red, New York was part of the Boston-Washington Corridor (BosWash), the remnants of the US Federal Government. New York may not be the worst city in the USA, but it's far from the best place to live.
