City of Hollywood

The City of Hollywood (often referred to as simply Hollywood) is the megatropolis at the heart of the greater Hollywood area. It is the largest city on Earth (including parallel Earths) and has a population between 40 and 150 million, depending on the time of day and major filming schedules.

Geography

One of the places hardest hit by the Big One, very little remains of what could be considered the city's original landscape. The area is more geologically varied, with new rivers, mountains, mesas, chasms, cliffsides, and even never-before-seen features that have required new classification.

History

The formation of the city began in the aftermath of the Battle of Los Angeles, when the rest of the former city of Los Angeles was folded into Hollywood. Although at the time this concession was meant to keep Hollywood under control, it only hastened the inevitable expansion. With greater resources at its disposal, Hollywood tripled in size until the Big One. Even that earthquake could not slow the city's progression, and rebuilding efforts caused the greatest expansion yet.

It is only a mix of geographical boundaries, such as Mount Nowhere and the ocean, and legal restrictions, such as the private ownership of the Backlot Foothills backed up with threats of armed response, that keep the city from expanding further outwards. But upwards remains an option, with the city boasted some of the largest skyscrapers ever constructed, and some of the largest never constructed.

Three blocks of the Toon Town district of Schnooklyn cross over into the native reality of Hollywood, existing in both cities at once. Crossing over from one universe to the other has been made easier by the construction of the Toon Town Tunnel, providing an "anchor" to ease navigation.
