A world at war left America as one of the victors. Magic was in extensive use by both sides, but there was no effort to quell the disastrous consequences of using it. Thus, the Department of Supernatural Safety was founded. Sanctions and laws reduced the magic-using public to only basic spells and limited defensive spells, turning their community to little more than party tricks. It wouldn't be long before enough was enough and the gears started to move.
The independent City-State of Long Branch seceeded from the United States in 2007, and has been growing strong ever since. Commerce, Trade and Business are the city's lifeblood, flowing through the Greater United States' artery known as the Pan-Mountain Railway. It's been over 15 years now, and the time has come once again for the Long Branch Cultural Festival to kick off.
After the festivities die down and things draw to a close, who knows. You may decide to stay!
The City of Long Branch is known for being the place where Gods and Men walk side-by-side... The Independent City-States of America have made headlines time and time again for not only being tourist locations, cleanest cities, and best run governments in the world, but all that attention has the potential to draw in those that are the wrong kind of attention.
