Saco (Region)

Saco is a region in south eastern Atlantis. It is 10th in size with an area of 27,532km^2 and is the smallest in population with 300 thousand citizens.

Saco is a small, but very rich region. The region’s biggest, and essentially only industry is oil. Having discovered oil in the area in the mid 1920s, Saco quickly became one of the richest regions in Atlantis. Now, major corporations such as BP and Shell are major job providers in the region.

Due to the economy being driven by oil, most of the population are right wing and favor few government regulations by the Atlantean government to the oil trade.

Saco's long history of trade is evident in its middle eastern architecture, high urbanization and a significant Muslim population. This has lead to demands of instituting Islamic customs into law, demands which have recieved fairly popular support from community leaders of most backgrounds in Hopkinton and the small outlying villages which exist in the Hades Waste. Other smaller issues involve the potential exploitation of low-wage workers on the oil fields and the lack of refinining facilities or major seaports in the region.
