Vancouver was one of the most densely populated cities in the world when the Second Great Depression came upon us all. It was also one of the best cities in the world to live in because of careful zoning in its city core. Well-designed high-rise apartment complexes made for comfortable living and quick commutes to work, and beautiful parks weaved in and out around them. Vancouver survived the chaos with far fewer problems than many other cities and thrived into the next century. It was a beacon of progress and security for both Canada and Pacifica as humanity returned to the moon and beyond. Its railroad brought in resources from all over Canada, and its seaport was home to trade ships traveling back and forth throughout the islands of Pacifica. Other cities may have had the moral hubris to call themselves the leaders of Pacifica, but nearly all outsiders agree that Vancouver was the heart that kept the pseudonation’s economy pumping.
