Gensym

A sanct of Straylight. The economic importance of Gensym has steadily grown over the years as the sanct itself has grown from a tourist trap into a major center for shipping operations, heavy industry and perhaps the best academical system in all of Straylight that makes the place an extremely attractive spot for young intellectuals.

Gensym is one of the only two Straylightian cities with an OTEC plant. Gensym's single-pipe plant is much smaller and, due to the location, much less efficient than Discontinuity's. However, it still neatly handles the energy needs of the city.

Gensym's steady growth has been taking place by adding more floating-spar platforms so far. There are currently eight platforms, two of which have a design that doesn't lock neatly into a grid as the rest do, as these platforms were failed projects to create sancts in other places. There have, however, been talks of bringing the sanct down to sea level like Discontinuity and building an artificial breakwave around it.

Gensym is completely led by the Pohjanvälke Coalition. As such, it has a relatively efficient but large government, and high tax rate, compared to most other sancts.
