Columbia (Earth-X)

Columbia is a series of floating islands that to most seem like paradise but has many dark secrets.

Origins
The flying city of Columbia was founded by Zachary Hale Comstock and was erected to symbalize American political and religious ideas. The city was created in 1893 ac (After Collision) and succeeded from the New United States in 1902 ac.

The floating islands are suspended above the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and is full of old-styled buildings such as ones you could see in italy.

Founding
After the events of the Collision of Two Worlds, the new Earth had a noticable boost in crime. Comstock founded Columbia in hopes of creating a sin-free environment where people could feel safe. Comstock says he got the idea after being visited by an angel named Columbia who told him to build a new city (And he would name it after the angel). After asking the government for funds and the accept, he built the city where he would soon be known as the leader and as a prophet.

Police State
After a situation where a few Americans snuck into the city and held it hostage, Columbia seceded from the N.U.S.A. and became independant out in the middle of the Atlantic. Once Comstock had full control over the floating "state," the power got to him and he turned the free land into a cruel, oppresive police state where everyone had to follow his rules and guidance, even going as far as to make himself god-like in the eyes of Columbia's citizens, making a new religion that everyone on the floating islands had to be apart of.
