Wellington Wells (The Mysterious Quest)

Wellington Wells is the name of the whole island and setting of We Happy Few. But in The Mysterious Quest, Wellington Wells is now a megacity.

Wellington Wells is a microstate-sized city-state that exists largely independently from the rest of Great Britain. It is governed by the Executive Committee. The demonym for Wellington Wells is "Wellsian".

History
Wellington Wells is a city that was haunted by the ghosts of its recent past. In 1943, this world deviated from our own, and the Germans successfully invaded and occupied England during World War II. Most of England is in ruins, as is a fair part of Wellington Wells.

However, during the Occupation, the people of Wellington Wells all had to do A Very Bad Thing, which was to give all children thirteen and under to the Germans (and all were unknowingly later killed). To calm their anguish and guilt - and forget what they’d done - the Wellies, as they came to be known as, invented Joy, the miracle happiness drug, but had serious side effects including hallucinations, memory loss (the goal of the drug), and dehydration.

It nearly caused people to die from starvation, overdose, and dehydration. In 1965, people begin to stop taking their Joy and take off their happy masks due to Uncle Jack's breakdown. Then, in 1967, all citizens start to fix the food production and underground maintenance facilities after the Haworth Labs has been shut down.

They were set about rebuilding their town, and along the way, got into serious technological research and development. The motto of the city is "In Posterum Cum Gaudio" which translates roughly from Latin as "Into The Future With Joy", which could be taken temporally.

In 1972, Caroline Ackroyd became the prime minister after she won the election of Wellington Wells against Kyle Johnson. She then told the people about the train station has been destroyed by Headboys in 1964. The construction workers rebuilt train station after bombing by Headboys. Later, in 1975, Caroline announced the grand opening of Wellington Wells Museum at Parade District. One of Caroline's secret services cuts the red ribbon with a giant scissor and everyone walk inside.

In 1981, a group of criminals and protests destroyed the statues, killing the citizens, and stole the stuff from either stores or someone's house then getting arrested by police officers and FBI. After the attack, Caroline gave a speech to everyone about the victims of the 1981 Parade District Shooting and Aftermath. The citizens are praying for the 1981 Parade District Shooting. Then in 1983, Caroline and her son Kevin went to the Tower of London where they met a queen named Margaret. She asks Caroline to take her son to tour London.

Citizens watched the news about separate island district get connected together after the construction workers fixed it. They cheered for

Geography
Wellington Wells is sprawling habitat, built on a small archipelago located in the Severn Estuary/Bristol Channel, in the south-west of Great Britain. Each island is a "holm" (an old English word meaning an island in a river). As of Full Release v.1.3, the currently accessible islands are Barrow Holm, Eel Pie Holm, Lud's Holm, Ravensholm, Maidenholm, St George's Holm, the Holm of Usglass and Apple Holm.

Each island is connected to the others via bridges, some of which are heavily guarded. The bridges are is the only way to traverse between islands, as the waters are treacherous, and you cannot swim.

In happier times, the city was linked by an underground metro system called the Wellington Underground. However, the metro has since fallen into disuse and severe disrepair, and the trains no longer run. Some stations (like Eel Pie Holm) have been re-purposed to serve as Motilene pumping stations.

Wellington Wells is administratively divided into three districts so far; the Garden District (where Wastrels live), the Village of Hamlyn (where Wellies live), and the Parade District, aka "The City" (where richer Wellies and the government lives).

As Wellington Wells sits in the middle of the Bristol Channel, the player can observe vast expanses of land to the North (Wales) and the South (England). This is the fated "Mainland" (i.e. the mainland United Kingdom), to which player characters will try to escape.

In the present day, it is now connected to the Bristol Channel due to the Wellington Underground has been fixed by the engineers after the disaster. The metro is now in business after the engineers fixed the train station.
