Place

Because of the Wall, the settlements no longer have internet (beyond any local network) or any magical means of communicating, traveling, or sending goods (e.g., clairvoyance, teleportation). Radio is unreliable. The Republic has a few satellites in orbit but they're in high demand. The orbital station of New Arcadia has ground-facing sensors but the station is fixed in place by the space elevator. The weather often severely interferes with whether the satellites and Arcadia's sensors can even collect information, much less transmit it. (Arcadia can transmit down the elevator.)
