Olympus was designed by some of the greatest minds of the late 20th century, and it shows. It is almost literally the 'perfect city'. Built on the concept of 'Functional Simplicity; Structural Complexity', the city is practically a living, breathing organism. Technology, organic and inorganic, makes the city beautiful. The Arcologies are built to minimize shadows in the winter, and use fiber optics to provide perfect natural lighting indoors. The space between the arcologies are damp, bright, and fertile, forming beautiful parks and gardens. One would think this city to be a perfect utopia...
Olympus has its share of problems. Internal and external conflict threaten the topple the city at any moment. Racial tension - not the black vs. white, Asian vs. Anglo, native vs. conqueror conflicts of decades past - is constantly on the rise, as the city is populated primarily by bioroids, with a smaller "immigrant" human minority. Employment, healthcare, and political rights are at the center of the issue. What's more, many nations would give anything to see Olympus fail. The most right of Imperial Americana view Olympus as a communism, and the most left Europe view it as a corrupt police nation, worse than the old United States ever was. Olympus has even fewer friends in the Middle East. Terrorism is also a problem. Foreign sponsored black-ops and radicals are constantly attacking Olympus. There's a large, public "situation" nearly every other month. If it weren't for the efficiency of Olympus' law enforcement and military, they might actually be in serious danger.
