The Minecraftia Metropolis was a sprawling cityscape on the British Isles. There were a few districts of Minecraftia, the semi-affluent financial district, poorly regulated industrial sector, the red light district, and the near unending expanse of unrestricted building encompassing the entire city. Many of the buildings were poorly regulated and structural inspections were privately operated and not mandatory. Due to this, building fires and collapses were common. The only medical facility offered shoddy service and was for profit. Since the majority of citizens were below the poverty line, many couldn't afford healthcare.
Three military facilities were located in Minecraftia, two operating under the city funded paramilitary law enforcement department. One was a privately run mercenary camp. Roads were poorly handled, with several incompatible systems being used in different parts of the city. Accidents and road rage instances were common, pileups of different types of vehicles littered the entire region. The city law enforcement were harsh but easily bought with bribes. Crime was rampant in every part of town.
United Federation of Planets President Sam Bowser served as Mayor of the City prior to his election as President. Bowser served briefly as Mayor of the City. However, his inability to restructure the city and reduce crime left him unable to win re-election. This seemed to be the end of his career until several years later when he was elected a member of the Federation House of Representatives. This allowed him to seek the presidency as a Democratic politician. His time as President of the Federation was brief and un-noteworthy. He was succeeded by President Grand Tarkin following his resignation.
Upon departing from his position, he left with a substantial amount of riches and headed back to Minecraftia to resume his position of mayor. His arrival into the city wasn't a welcoming one. The streets surrounding City Hall and his mansion were packed with demonstrators demanding him to be dethroned. Rumors of his riches spread amongst the crowds. Conspiracy began to take foot in many organizations to oust Bowers from his positon.
