History
The abolishment of nation-states at the cusp of the 24th century enabled private enterprise to absorb all functions of old world government. This led to the fragmentation of authority, and variation between regions that didn't previously exist. The members of the gigacorp cluster that own Merchants of Bethesda sought for consistent administration of its capital assets throughout the MegaRegion.
The crown jewel of both the City of Bethesda and its modern day MegaRegion continues to be its shipping port, Port Bethesda. It is generally accepted to be the largest shipping port in the globe, spanning 55 square kilometers in its entirety. Port Bethesda served as a gateway to the continent's agricultural and industrial output, along with being the connecting node between Eos and Vandorf.
