Description
Located in the center of Florida, Orlando is a crossroads of everything the state has to offer - the upscale AAA Megacorp life in Downtown, rural life in Northern Orlando, and the polished-to-a-chrome-shine of Southern Orlando where Horizon's influence over Tourism and trade holds supreme sway. It is a one of the "cities that never sleeps" due to the heavy nightlife that occurs in Downtown at Church Street Station but at the same time can be downright rural and suburban in the outer sprawl that is, more or less jokingly, referred to as the Tampa-Orlando Metroplex.
Distinctive Features
Church Street: Located next to Downtown, Church Street is THE place for Orlando nightlife, clubs, and more street drugs than any reasonable person could ever want in their life.
Downtown: One part clubs and attractions, one part Corporate regional offices. Notably, a Lone Star regional Headquarters is located here as well as one for Ares CAS, Renraku Computing, and the Horizon Group.
Fun World: Owned by the Horizon Group, Fun World has both a real and matrix presence that promises assembly line whimsey for more or less modest prices.

| 1 | Orlando is a tourist center and heavily focused on the service industry. |
| 3 | Local Megacorp regional offices include Lone Star, Ares CAS, the Horizon Group, and Renraku Computing Systems |
| 5 | Orlando is the place where many of the CAS based corporate elite goes in order to spend their hard earned dollars. One of the reasons Lone Star maintains a regional HQ in the city is both to handle trouble when it arises and to be able to funnel embarrassing corporate issues away from the public eye. |
