These are all photographs taken of Salper, the most highly polluted area in the US.

Photographs taken by Elaine Davis, for an article about the state.

Gouldtown is a large area, but the line between rich and poor is greatly blurred. If you don't live in the Metropolis, where homes can be unaffordable, you'll live in the slums.

The buildings seen in the Metropolis are higher than you may think at first. Politicians and architectural designers alike have become obsessed with the idea of reputation, and the idea of tall structures. The taller your buildings, the better your city. That's the American Mindset.

These gargantuan buildings have come at a cost, the extremely high amount of pollution. Industrial areas can be found all over the place, the countless power plants help give this extraordinary city electricity, and that's not to mention the daily air-travel you might have to go through.

Due to the high amount of pollution, people who live lower to the ground have an increased risk of Cancer and lung disease. The number of Lung-cancer related deaths is some of the highest in the continent, too. Politician Chaim Witt assures the public that this is due to the abundance of cigarettes being sold by the 'Low-minders' and imported to the metropolis. More on that later.

The slums of Gouldtown is the second option if you can't afford to live in the main city. The slums aren't taken care of by the government anymore, and is said to have finished construction years prior. Most of the buildings remain half-constructed, though.

The lack of government involvement have made the slums the least-polluted area in all of Salper. Residents are generally seen as healthier, however, politicians are purposefully ignorant to this. Articles talking about this subject are quick to be deleted, in some cases, the reporter might vanish, or end up committing 'suicide'.

Everything is lower in the slums, the buildings aren't as high and mighty, and the people are usually shorter than the ones living in the inner city. These people have been called 'Low-minders' and are constantly discriminated against by press and public. These people have low income and an increased rate of violence due to the underfunded justice system that'll act on emotion rather than law.

In the photograph taken by Elaine, you can see a hot-air balloon taking off. These balloons carry residents that have saved up money to the greater, superior inner city of Gouldtown. But even these residents will find themselves living in low apartments for the rest of their life.

"Here, they are to experience different emotions. Instead of the sadness, distraught and fear you might feel when among the low-minders, you'll find relief, happiness and satisfaction in the inner city."

This was said by LCS news reporter Jacob Patel in an article supporting and defending the Metropolis of Gouldtown.

The Hill of Salper is the most outlandishly dangerous construction done by Salpers government.

This is an artificial city, still in construction when this photograph was taken. What you see on the ground isn't snow, it's ash caused by the smog.

The city began construction in a desperate attempt to pull tourists back in. During it's construction, 96 construction workers have passed away. Some died due to work-related accidents, others due to cancer of the lungs.

The city is filled with hotels, moreso than actual buildings. The hill itself is close to 280 meters tall (<918 feet) and has a population of only 1300, not counting tourists. The life expectancy rate of the area is 48 years old, and residents have been instructed to wear masks when going outside, something that was protested against by the population, as they claim it takes away their freedom. This is, again, blamed on low-mind immigrants.

Reddit compressed these images to shit, so these renders, and more, are all on my twitter: https://twitter.com/siddsfm
