DESCRIPTION:
The epicenter of Nouvieux idealism and the seat of power of the Nouvieux Trade Federation, Gärbo is at once the wealthiest civ in Deadstar and the most economically disparate. Gärbo is split into the three tiered rings that surround the civ’s central artificial star and namesake. The outer ring, Knil, is the industrial district of Gärbo. Poverty rates are high in Knil where the working class population lacks upward mobility. The middle ring, San Kepla, is the financial center of the entire Nouvieux economy. San Kepla hosts the headquarters of almost every major corp in Deadstar. If Knil’s working class industry is the beating heart of Gärbo, and San Kepla’s financial and political nexus the brain, then the central ring, Nou Beverly, is the dream that holds it all together. The embodiment of the Nouvieux promise of abundance, Nou Beverly is the home of Deadstar’s most exorbitantly wealthy. Artistically and culturally the center of the Nouvieux world, Nou Beverly is a celestial paradise.
