The virtual world itself had been conceived to be an exact copy of our own world but a catastrophic terrorist event had been programmed into it so has to allow players to experience the aftermath of a complete breakdown in civilian government. Santiago had used this chaos to establish himself as a dictator who controled an ever expending police state called Santiago City.
