New Caledonia



New Caledonia is a French Overseas Territory in the Real World. It is also the location which the PPC uses as the earthly address of Headquarters. Quite why this particular spot was picked is entirely unknown.

Other Sites

 * Across the corner from the clock tower is a small stage for musicians.
 * There is a park at the intersection of the Rue Jay Thorntree and Rue Ella Darcy.
 * Agent Monty's pond is to the west of town.
 * The Musée des Univers Perdus is on the opposite side of the city from Monty's pond.
 * There is at least one TARDIS dock.
 * A cemetery on a hill with a cliff on the south face, where the grave of Makes-Things is located. Given the return of Makes-Things and his own insistence that he never died to begin with, it's unknown just who is buried in "his" grave; agents have tried to find out, but the DIA's New Caledonia division have guards posted at the cemetery at all times to prevent whomever is buried from being exhumed.
 * A farmer's field just south of the cemetery hill, beneath the cliff face.

Macrovirus Epidemic
When the League of Mary Sue Factories unleashed a macrovirus in Headquarters, the city became a hub for agents, each needing somewhere to park their TARDIS and meet with friends while HQ was under quarantine.

Accommodation
Increasingly, the city in New Caledonia is being turned over to residential areas, particularly for agents with families. In contrast to the traditional response center, the city provides a reasonably stable, reasonably sane environment for children to be raised in, while still giving their parents rapid access to HQ.

MyMiniCity


The PPC city in New Caledonia was originally based on the random-city-generating game MyMiniCity, which explains the location and the grid layout. The most densely populated part of the map is pictured at right with the center marked by a star.

Amusingly, it has the moniker Ville Fleurie, which means roughly "City of Flowers."
