As with many centuries old municipalities with large populations, politics in Columbia is a contact sport, requiring access to ample funding and a ruthless nature. This makes New City Hall home to Machiavellian schemes from all sides with the strings being pulled by the city’s largest stakeholders: principly Alexander Galt and his Atlas Corporation. The current “Puppet-and-Chief” is Mayor Preston Kane whose sights are set on national office, and whom the town’s poor and homeless blame for the growing recession.
