American Megalopolis

Japanese: アメリカ・メガロポリス - あめりかめがろぽりす
American Megalopolis

…Large cities such as Boston, New York, and Philadelphia are lined up along the coast, and together with Baltimore and Washington in the south, they form a mega-metropolitan area. This region is called the American Megalopolis, and is closely connected by railroads, expressways, and frequent non-reservation air service (shuttle). Since the 1970s, the Northeast, which contains the Megalopolis, has also declined in relative status with the rise of the Sun Belt states, and the development of the manufacturing sector in particular has stagnated, resulting in a population outflow area, and the population growth rate is the lowest. However, it still maintains its position as the center of the U.S. economy, including manufacturing, and culture.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "American Megalopolis" is listed below.
