Traktionstadtsgesellschaft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Traktionstadtsgesellschaft (roughly translatable as Traction Town Society) is a German organization in the novel A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve
Originally, it was a group of twelve German traction cities who joined together to resist the advance of the Green Storm in destroying all traction cities. The Green Storm were seeming to win until many more cities joined the Traktionstadtsgesellschaft. This led to a stalemate with neither side willing to give. Cities who did not join the Traktionstadtsgellschaft often sent money or supplies to help in the war, and also profited from selling the alliance weapons. The cities agreed not prey on each other (see Municipal Darwinism) until the war was over.
