Gotham City.
Excuse me. I mean Got Ham City!
It's where the Got Milk Campaign got stuck behind the city's primary export, ham. This whole city is wall to wall sassy pigs. They think they're so clever, with their campaign that implies cannibalism and is meant to advertise their expertise.
Each pig... well, a lot of the pigs, have their computer science degree, and the city as a whole is trying to market itself as a place for tech companies to move to to take advantage of the talent pool. Of course, Amazon is interested, but Got Ham doesn't particularly want to offer them tax incentives. The whole point is the talent pool. They think they are head and shoulders above the rest for their talent pool, so why should they need to sweeten the pot?
Totten Ham is more of a bustling metropolis, sure. But proportionately, it has a much large population of artists. Art in a city is nice for leisure, but the city of Got Ham is trying to be a working pig's city and dissuade the the rest of the world's work force from coming so that they can keep a low unemployment rate.
There is a pretty large marketing department in Got Ham. So large, in fact that they successful petitioned city hall to change the name to Got Ham. It was, of course, New Pork before.
I know. Pretty creepy. But these pig cities have a good sense of self-deprecating humor. You gotta admire them.
