A new town, with old problems...
New Nuburg was founded after the assassination of Dr. King by prominent citizens of the last Black stronghold in The City. The brothers and sisters saw the writing on the wall and instead of waiting for Negro Removal (gentrification) to push them out they leveraged a real estate buyout from Hudsonia University developers and used the funds to purchase property in a derelict peninsula 2 hours to the north. Decades later the dream of a Black utopia had been spoiled by the realities of managing a city whose citizens have wildly divergent ideas about Nuburg's past and future.
