	Located on the east coast of sector [[A-4]], East City is a coastal metropolis with numerous nearby islands. Inland, the terrain becomes mountainous with numerous canyons and mesas around [[Grand Apron]]. The early history of the region is unknown, but East City developed a unique architecture with many spherical towers. East City also remained one of the few regions on Earth to use [[Yen]] instead of [[Zenni]] and used a combination of English and Japanese for names, for example labeling their police force as "''Higashi'' Police" and using the abbreviation "HGS" or "HGSM" (for '''''H'''i'''G'''a'''S'''hi no '''M'''iyako'') on buildings and vehicles.
