New Krypton is an empire that sprawls the midwest of the former United States of America (See Map)
New Krypton was established by Superman, driven mad by red kryptonite after the breaking. Changed by the red kryptonite, the new sun and magical interference, Superman now seeks to conquer the world and galaxy beyond to place under his iron rule.
New Krypton consists of a number of colonies around the mid west, with its capital city existing over the ruins of Chicago.
The capital is a strange sight in this new primitive world robbed of technology. Superman traveled the world, and even the stars after the breaking, capturing great minds of science, forcing them into slavery to rebuild technology for his new empire. Superman's tireless power itself forged the buildings of the city, his own mighty hands creating the spires of cleaming metal.
Today the capital looks like some alien city from before the breaking, huge, spreading for miles with its tall buildings reaching into the sky, everything glowing with some power source known only to Superman and his generals.
Above, the priviledged populace lives in comfort. The rebuilt technology powered by unknown sources allows the favored of the Superman to live almost as they did before the breaking. However the price is steep for such comforts. Superman demands complete loyalty, subjugation of his subjects. His secret police are everywhere, and his rule is strict. The slighest sign of dissent, betrayal or independent thought and you go missing, vanished into the torture chambers below the city.
For those not of the priviledge class, life is brutally hard. Beneath the towering city in the sky, the ruins of chicago exist as an under-city for the worker/slave class. These people toil away, maintaining the great machines that power the city above. Sickness and death are common, as great overcrowding and thick pollution from the machines create dirt and disease everywhere. The work is hard, the living conditions wicked, but still the worker class stays. Because the only other option is the Road....beyond the protective borders of the empire lie only cannibals, raiders....demon hordes.
