ACROPOLISWORLD
THE INDUSTRIAL MEGA CITY OF THE FUTURE
At the turn of the century, the world is irrevocably changed when a woman named Rose,
digging on her vast property in outback Australia, strikes oil. The new fuel source, named
Rose diesel, re-shapes the course of the world’s technology.
The globes brightest minds and hungriest entrepreneurs descend on the burgeoning city
of Acropolis, eager to build machines unlike any other, and to cement their fortunes.
Founded by migrants across all backgrounds, Acropolis is a melting-pot
city guided by its own uniting principals.
The people of the Ground are hard workers. It is the sky they are told to dream about. Above the smoke haze, on the very highest platforms, it is said that trees and flowers can be grown in the sunlight. Upon retirement, or if you exemplify yourself earlier, a ticket to the Above awaits. Posters advertise the ideal Acropolis to the citizens on the Ground.

The Acropolisworld is set in a retro-future or alternate future where the architecture and design of the 1920's to 1940's still exists. This genre is called Dieselpunk. Combined with this is Decopunk because Art Deco, which is a form of modernist art, existed in the same era.
