Liverpool
Pamphlet from their Lordships' Immigration Offices for Liverpool
Liverpool, the beating metal heart of our civilization. From the industrial era onwards, our proud city has been at the forefront of construction and innovation. If you've ever shot a British Militech, then you've felt the quality of Liverpool's factories. If you've ever felt the tinge of refined chrome on British-made Arasaka Mantis Blades, then you only have our Liverpool artisans to thank.
Liverpool means quality. You work here, in the docks, factories, warehouses, refineries, plants, it means you are working for something greater than you. For the glory of all of us. You are paid what you are owed, you live thanks to the Martial Law Authority. Glory to the Lords.
Liverpool is gritty, overgrown, full of overpasses, bridges, tunnels. It rains constantly, there's graffiti, punks, blue-collar workers at every stop. This has also led to an explosion in gang crime, with multiple groups consolidating to "keep the calm".
Despite this obvious crime problem, the MLA reports Liverpool's crime rate to be notable low, on par with other European cities like Paris and Rome. By 2020, Liverpool has expanded much further, consolidating its position as the United Kingdom's industrial workhorse.
Liverpool's theme is INFESTED. Cops are everywhere, but most of them are corrupt, gang-affiliated, blackmailed to no end, on medication and are willing to exchange the little authority they have for some cold, hard cash, especially since the eurodollar sometimes jumps in value compared to the British Pound.
Worse, government agents are embedded and "fixing" (read: overwhelmed by) different problems, but most of their uniforms have the same color, lettering (big, bold MLA on the back). Some will stand up for the MLA, but most are easily swayed by money, but they'll also try to peddle to The Crew, gauging them as foreigners.

MLA (MARTIAL LAW AUTHORITY) recommends foreigners to stay away from all low-income areas, as "the poor" are unpredictable. Low-income areas are also frequently raided by PKY troops, the UK's premiere task force.
