'Home to 50 million citizens crammed into gigantic citi-blocks, overcrowding is rife, unemployment endemic and boredom universal'

Post Chaos this doesn't make complete sense. Most of the city must be empty after more than three quarters of the citizens perished, so why is it still crowded?

Sure some areas would be uninhabitable and corralling the populace together to make them easier to police/judge does make sense but this has never been explained.

Why is there mass unemployment? After the Apocalypse War the entire population was drafted to aid in rebuilding, perhaps an even bigger job now. Even after rebuilding was complete and with the city now desperate for cash surely they would make the cits work for their welfare cheques rather than just hand them over?

So with swathes of the Meg clearly empty, please could we have a map of how the city looks now. :thumbsup:


PS A follow up of what happened when the Chaos Bug hit abroad, when an agent got stranded in Europe too would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Do a search for Map of MC1 or similar. Zen Arcade alongside Mimikeke set out a few moths ago on the unenviable task of popping MC1 pre and post chao and the level of detail that was disturbing (but amazing!).

Should have also said to search via google including 2000adonline in the search field. Anyway done it for you and here it is!

Post DOC Mega City One would be a skeleton compared to the 2099 Megalopolis. The 1995 Dredd film map probably isn't a bad approximation but again Wagner mentions sectors all over the Big Meg in his recent stories so there must be nodes/islands of city within a wasteland. Z

Wow -Missed this. Kudos to Zen and Mimi.

Still be good if 2000ad could show the new post-chaos lay of the land.
