General
Primitia (/prɪˈmɪʃiə/) is a post-retro-future megacity-state occupying the last known habitable region in the world and is the primary end goal of the Primitian Initiative. It is bordered on all sides by the Menagerie, which encompasses all that is known to exist outside of Primitia. To her citizens, the city-state is the entirety of the world; what might lie within or beyond the Menagerie is a complete mystery.
Primitia is defined most by its ceaseless struggle against the balances of natural resources, means of sustainable production, the encroachment of the Menagerie, and the quality of life of its people.
Layout
Primitia has a roughly circular shape, approximately 1,200 km in diameter. (See Simplified Map of Primitia)
Within this boundary, Primitia is organized into a series of concentric rings composed of alternating forestry belts and development belts. This structure is an intentional feature of the city-state’s planned design. Each ring is further divided circumferentially into four quadrants and radially into sectors.
Demographics
Primitia’s population has widely fluctuated throughout its history, present day Primitia boasts approximately 600 to 650 million citizens. The Equilibration Ministry tracks the exact population down to the nearest thousand with extensive census that is conducted continuously through ledger requirements.
Technological Advancement
Despite the presence of magic in this world, Primitia is structured primarily around technological, bureaucratic, and industrial systems rather than overt magical governance. Various forms of technology are however supplemented by magic in a form of technomancy.
Government
Primitia is governed by the Primitian government and maintains total jurisdiction over its people.
In official state myth and common speech, Primitia is sometimes referred to as “The Once and Final City.”
