Since the early American translations papered over most of the Japanese cultural references, the audience is apparently meant to think this bleak, futuristic dystopia is located in the state of Rhode Island.

* UrbanHellscape: All versions of the story involve a city that is so crime-ridden that the police has gotten authorization to deploy ''tanks'' (from "miniature" versions like Bonaparte up to Brenten's multi-lane-wide monstrosity) and the crime rate is still undeterred (to the point that DaChief believes literally deploying TheNuclearOption is necessary... of course, he's showcased as a bit of a madman and the other civil servants he's talking to on the opening narration are appalled at the idea). The original manga also showcased the city (if not the world) was on the verge of ecological devastation.
