Częstochowa is a major city in Poland. In 2051 the Providence Corp (Korporacja Opatrzności Bożej), an AA corp with ties to Roman Catholic Church, took over all city administrative functions. The area is nominally still under control of NRP. Jasna Góra Monastery is one of the world's premier pilgrimage centers. Stories of revelations and miracles redoubled in the 2020s.
