Y'know, somewhere in the equator--I dunno where exactly--there's a city called Nousia.
Technically, its name is Tall Tower City, and they call it that because of the Tall Tower. Real creative, eh? Get used to it.
Anyway, only the most scientist-y of scientists live there. I'm saying those guys who just couldn't get enough of "discovering the truth of nature"--that's how they'd phrase it, believe me--that they keep doing it even after they die.
'Course, you got the big shots--Einstein and Newton and the like... probably myriad others I don't know the name of. But there's also regular-ass people, like, there goes Muhammad Nobody on his way to study actuation swords or whatever the fuck.
I mean, I hear it's a nice place to live. They make sure everyone respects nature, with like, a light curfew and shit. Hear they hate littering more than murder.
And even with such big names walking around, they've got a good government. Ethics committee keeps things up and running, and obviously if you don't like 'em, you can gather your buddies and stage a coup. What, ya thought it'd be just like Cosmo-fucking-politania with their code of laws bullshit? Nah, they actually split off from them. Few centuries ago a bunch of scientists asked to move to this bigass island... what was it back then, Dried Yellow Grass Island? I dunno. But anyway, they did that, got their results, and whaddya know, some more scientists wanna join up with 'em. And it eventually snowballs into a nice big bustling city. But though they're so far away from Cosmo-balls-itania, they still gotta listen to the big shots, with their Earth-ass rules and shit. 'Course, they get fed up and kick out the tyrants. Just 'cause they're all nerds doesn't mean they can't organize when they gotta, I guess.
Not all sunshine and rainbows, though. To protect the local wildlife, they built the Wall of Friendship... or was it the Wall of Harmony? And the city can't develop past the Wall. Plus, you have to worry about being murdered or kidnapped if you live there. Yeah, they've got even less qualms about that than most folks. And if someone forgets to put away their strand of ebola, whoops, outbreak. At least they're smart enough to just hunker down on the island if that happens. Not lookin' to recreate the Spanish flu or anything.
If you're interested, it's like a... year's walk away from here.
