The Republic of Rapture

After the Great Civil War, the Republic of Rapture was born.

Location
The nation mostly resides in a place named Elysium, a walled city in what is used to be the United States west, but there are other similar places along the coast, such as Eden and Valhalla.

History
Following the Great Civil War, Rapture's government made it their top priority to protect the affluent and walled them into cities like Elysium. Meanwhile, the common people suffered, falling to a plague known as the Pacification, remnants of biological warfare from the Great Civil War. Eventually, the people began to rebel, until that rebellion turned into a revolution. In answer to this, Rapture began work on genetically modified soldiers (Mod-Gens) to protect their citizens and keep back the revolutionaries. They now stand a few decades into the revolution, with new generations of Mod-Gens surfacing every eight years.

Politics
There are three warring sides in the Republic of Rapture's Council. The Sentients, the Sybils, and the Bellators. The Sentients see themselves as the truth-seekers. They are a radical group who believe Mod-Gens deserve rights, as well as the people outside the wall. They are only considered a political party and not accused of treason because most of them are high-ranked politicians, including the president's daughter, Joanne Helson. The Sybils simply want to keep to tradition. Mod-Gens protect and serve, that is the extent of their life. That is their purpose. They believe the people outside the walls will only contaminate the inner cities with their savagery and disease. The Bellators are the warhawks of the Council; they want to go back to war with the United States. They believe the war was not won eighty-six years ago and want revenge.
