The oldest and the largest of the new cities, this prosperous, thriving habitation is only a dozen miles from the monstrous pile of the old Buenos Aires. When its white domes first rose above the pampas, it was heralded as the dawn of a new age for humanity – as has in fact proved – and its inhabitants still think of themselves as leading 22^nd century social progress. Buenos Aires was mostly built by Mammon Inc, which retains the strongest presence there, although Tagaro and NEO are well represented. There is a considerable ethnic mix, as Buenos received many refugees from the Far East disasters: its Chinatown is the largest of the eight cities. The people of Buenos have achieved a great deal in restoring their local environment, greatly helped by their adoption of local lore regarding the maintenance of stable ecosystems.
