The capital city. It is the most technologically advanced location ever constructed on The Planet. Built by the Shinra Electric Power Company, it is home to the corporation's main headquarters, which dominates the city skyline. Thanks to its eight Mako Reactors, the city's massive power demands are easily met, but at a cost: the surrounding countryside has become a wasteland lacking any vegetation. Being ruled with an iron fist by the police-state Shinra and with its dark atmosphere, Midgar easily fits the vision of a dystopian future.
