New Angeles grew around the Root of the Beanstalk on Earth's equator (Ecuador region). Official population is about half a billion; unofficial counts may double that when undercity disenfrancistos and temporary labor are included.

It is headquarters culture for the megacorps that built the Network, arcologies, and androids. Life stacks vertically: ristie arcs and plaza-level consumer glory above; undercity tunnels, squats, and off-grid communities below. Districts include Chakana (Root), Rutherford (media/NBN), Nihongai (Jinteki flavor), Manta, Rabotgorod, Guayaquil, La Costa, and more.
