Tenshima
Built just about 100 years ago in the 1990's on the coast of Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon, just North of Astoria, Tenshima was constructed by an oligopoly of Japanese and American Multinationals. It's founder, Hideo Tanegashima (1952-2022), envisioned it as a utopia for business interests, utilizing his shady connections in both Japan and the USA to ensure that his magnum opus wasn't disturbed by regulations or protests. The city's construction, while it was plagued by various issues relating to cost and legality, did turn out be a success, ending in 1997. Tenshima's population grew gradually over the years, mainly aided by it's density and proximity to Seattle and Portland, major metropolitan areas of the pacific northwest. The economic sector was propped up primarily by overseas trade with Pacific nations, contributing greatly to it's diverse range of immigrant and immigrant-descendent populations. Skipping ahead a bit, to the 2020's, Tenshima suffered a severely polarized socioeconomic climate, due mainly to the excessive and pretty ludicrous amounts of power and influence that corporations had on the city and it's surrounding areas. Leftist movements began to grow, mainly influenced by the local leftist currents of the region, however, with the presence of figures like  Hiromu Asari (2002-2084) and  Shay Monroe (1995-2047), the political (predominantly anarchist) milieu began to skew quite a bit away from the typical norms. This hectic mix of movements came to be rather united in their mutual wishes for an end to the corporate dominion of the time, however, an opportunity to action did not come along. That is, until the early 2040's, when the old giant of the US finally took it's last breaths, and enormous amount of new, independent polities made themselves known and established. One of these polities was the Urban Confederation, formed in a panic by the municipal governments of Seattle, Tenshima, and Portland, as well as the adjacent areas. With a newfound country to look to with little to no restrictions or regulations, the (now) megacorporations effectively took complete control over the newborn confederation very early, and this was no secret to anybody. This came to be the spark that ignited a violent breakup. Portland was the first to secede. While the corporations still played a large part, Portland was still against their excessive amounts of power. Seattle followed, leaving Tenshima a little city filled with big corporations. With the corporations in such a vulnerable state, the revolution came alight in the early days of January 2045. Soon enough, sitting in the seats of the old city council was the collective leadership of the Pan-leftist Association of Tenshima (PLAT), which many have described as "Vanguard Anarchist" for it's de-facto control over the city, but this control was lenient (well, on people, not corporations), up until around April 2045, when Madoka Osada (2010-2064), a revolutionary icon, took control of the council with her own faction of the PLAT. Osada's reforms quickly brought drastic change to the city's structure and way of living. Automation was implemented pretty much everywhere, with the Deng-inspired model of mass-production and exports to foreign nations becoming the new (and current) model of economy. While it did get off to a rocky start, the 2040's, 2050's, and 2060's were all major decades of economic achievment for the city, which only further reinforced Osada's ideological control. In 2064, she suffered a stroke, most likely caused by some sort of neurovirus, and left the PLAT without a central figure to guide it. Since then, the city has gradually decentralized and become "true anarchist" in the eyes of the locals. The council was abolished in the 2070's, with the only control they had now shifted over to an AI system.
