Monotok

Monotok, or Monotok Point, is a bustling city on the island nation of Nethington. It is known for its neon lights, office complexes, stock market, and the manufacturing of smart products.

While it is a hotspot for those seeking employment during occasional employment rotation cycles, TPaw Corporation has the tightest grip on the city compared to most on the island. The majority of the workforce works for the company itself or its subsidiaries.

Background

Created by Tony Bark, Monotok was named after the song by William Orbit. The song was featured in the Red Planet soundtrack, from which Bark first heard it back in the early 2000s.

Bark intended Monotok to be darker-themed for noir, mystery and drama stories while leaving Bridgeport for slice-of-life and adventure, drawing inspiration from Batman: The Animated Series. He is fully aware of the similar yin-yang contrast to Gotham and Metropolis found in the DC Universe that Monotok and Bridgeport share. However, it is intended to be more of a commentary on corporations through the lens of a nation where the concept of monopolies is literally foreign.
