Silva State is a large stretch of water just outside of the North American Basin, Silva Island, the largest in the chain, lies about 750 miles off the coast. It is an island somewhat smaller the the city of Tokyo. The entire island is covered in city, making Silva City the second largest in the world in land area. It is noted however that Silva City was the first metropolis to begin developing multi-leveled Construction and is the most developed, and all but the suburban sub-city is made up of skyscrapers. So technically Silva City is the largest city in urban mass and population. The other islands are very small and are almost completely undeveloped, they are unique however in that they are climatically controlled with each individual island a different life zone. Silva Island is connected directly to New York City by way of Bullet Train, which runs underneath the ocean all the way from Grand Central Station to Silva Station, making it the first Oceanic Train ever to be built.
