By the time the San Ysidro Peacekeepers and Judges restored order in San Diego, Tijuana, and the other nearby cities, they had informally become the southern edge of the new Republic of California. They official joined as San Ysidro, San Diego, Tijuana, and all of several other cities. It’s a long name. Never used except in the most painfully formal of situations. Most people simply call it San Ysidro, after the council that represents them to California and the United States. Each city elects representatives to that council, and agrees to work together towards the common good in public, all while trying to tip the balance towards their own good behind the scenes. It is a seemingly chaotic mix of cooperation, competition, and cheating as each city tries to pull one over on all of the others. But the San Ysidrans have mostly kept the peace. And there are always Judges and Peacekeepers ready to step in if that peace is broken.
