It is the year 2050. The great Antifa wars of 2025 resulted in Portland breaking off from the USA and becoming a semi-autonomous people's republic. As Kosovo is to Russia, it is recognized by the UN but not by the United States, now under the control of self-declared lifetime president Donald Trump. However, a tenuous trading agreement (with high tariffs) is still in place allowing the import of products along the I-84 corridor and from the nearest major American city, Seattle. The sea level has risen by 10 meters, with the entirety of Sauvie Island and low lying areas of Vancouver lost to the depths.

Situated in the heart of the Willamette valley at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers, historical Portland was a seedy Port town which traded in lumber and agricultural products. It developed throughout the 20th century into the one of the region's most influential and populous city.

In the early 2000s, it became a desirable place for young people to live due to its low priced alcohol, strong weed, and questionably played punk music. But then an army of glasses-wearing coffee drinkers who always wear earbuds invaded and much was lost of that time.

During this period the economy of Portland saw a boom resulting from major high tech and sports apparel industry expansions in Hillsboro/Beaverton. However, it became overcrowded by 2020, and the great Tri-Met transit worker's strike brought the city and all of its glorious trains to a halt.

Modern day Portland, in 2050, has become a hybrid of so many historical shades. A working class dominated by a corrupt, capitalist city government. A place where cheap alcohol and good weed is sold alongside high tech electronic components. A place with too many trains. Portland 2050.
