As a result of extreme weather events and sea level rise, life along lowland seacoasts became impossible. Increasingly around the globe, people began moving inland and gathering in established areas. With the dominance of megacorporations over traditional governments and with advancements in large-scale 3D printing, the most highly populated cities expanded rapidly into megacities. By the early 22nd century, most of the world population had relocated itself to 66 megacities, known as Provinces.
