Berlin Germany (1984) - A City Divided

West Berlin: A vibrant, capitalist enclave surrounded by the Iron Curtain, West Berlin thrives as a beacon of freedom and culture. Neon-lit streets buzz with punk rock, jazz clubs, and bustling markets. Its 1.2 million residents enjoy relative prosperity, with landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and Kurfurstendamm showcasing Western defiance. Espionage runs rampant, with CIA and MI6 agents weaving through its democratic chaos.

East Berlin: The grim, gray capital of the German Democratic Republic, East Berlin is a fortress of Soviet control. Stasi surveillance looms over its 1.1 million citizens, where drab apartment blocks and propaganda posters define the landscape. The Berlin Wall, patrolled by armed guards, slices the city, with Alexanderplatz and the Palace of the Republic as stark symbols of communist rule. Covert resistance simmers in the shadows.
