[Gardavasque]

Gardavasque's technology economy has been booming for decades. Centered in the so-called "Silicon Forest," a suburban area south of the city of Eternity and northwest of the city of Innovation, the area is global leader for companies producing software products, social media services, venture capital, research, and scientific advancement. Nearby Leland University and Gardavasque Institute of Technology are major hubs for science and engineering and have fostered a climate where competitive good-paying jobs requiring a skilled, highly-educated workforce are ubiquitous. Some of the world's largest Internet and Social Media companies are headquartered here, including Pear, Inc., WhoTube, Twitcher, Gazillion, and MyFace.
