The Big, Stupid Disclaimer
An Explanation of Sorts
Firstly, we know, now, that "Empire City" is a nickname for New York City. When we first came up with the name for the place, we were very young and naive and thought we had created something original. We felt the need to have a "Metropolis" or "Gotham" of our own and came up with Empire. If you don't like it, sorry. We're not likely to change it after almost twenty years (Yeah, we've been working on this stuff for a while, now).
Secondly, if you happen to live in or around Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Crossmans, Sayreville, Keasbey, Melrose, Mechanicsville or any of the other cities, towns and villages that don't exist in our fictional world, we again apologize. Your hometowns have all been subsumed or absorbed by Empire City or crushed beneath a massive meteor. You have our most sincere condolences. Again, when we designed the City and placed it "about 20 miles south of New York", we were young. Honestly, until I looked at a map some fifteen years after we decided to make Empire City an East Coast sprawl in New Jersey, I had no idea there was a river and bay so superficially similiar to that we thought up for Empire. Weird, but cool.
In short, please keep in mind that this is a work of fiction, and we really are not out to hurt anyone. If you really are upset by any of this, by all means leave this site now and never come back. We'll miss you, and hope that, in time you can learn to forgive our creative license.
And so, once again: Welcome to Empire City.
