The Greater Chicago Industrial Zone[1] (referred to as "The Zone",[1] or Chicago[2][3]) was a Human city on Earth, located on the continent of North America near Lake Michigan.
Infrastructure[]
Transit[]
Near Chicago existed the Great Lakes Spaceport. As well, the city operated a MagLev Train system.[1] The system replaced the less advanced elevated trains, and used the same routes and infrastructure.[4]

Child Care[]

Culture[]
While physically located in the United States, the Zone was a de-facto independent city-state, with its citizens feeling more loyalty to it and, to a lesser extent, the United Nations than to the US government. This loss of national identity was a natural consequence of human colonization of other planets and systems.
Geography[]
An outgrowth of the 19th century American city of Chicago, the Zone was a vast urban sprawl covering large parts of the former states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.[1]
