City 17

City 17, located somewhere in Eastern Europe or Russia, is one of the last life sustaining Cities operated by the Overwatch. The Union Citadel, which houses Administrator Breen and his Overwatch government, towers over the metropolitan area, exerting the Union's dominance across the landscape.

City 17's old world origins are obvious - tight, narrow cobblestone streets, massive labyrinth sewers, and barely a building over four stories high. The Union has adjusted it to their needs, however. Massive power cables drape down from the Citadel and plug into Overwatch controlled hubs, where electricity is directed around town.

Overwatch is fond of taking advantage of existing human constructs in the area. For instance, they put heavy emphasis on using trains to transport things across town, and from City to City.

Most of the 'citizens' living in City 17 either work in local factories, constructing machines to aid to the Union in their conquest, or serve as Metrocops (See Civil Protection), oppressing the rest.
