'''San Francisco''' is a [[metroplex]] in the [[Bay Area]] of [[California Free State]], which has been controlled by various [[Japan]]ese regimes for close to 40 years now.

After the collapse of the occupational state, [[Mitsuhama]] has become the new major controlling faction in the city, along with other [[Japanacorps]] continuing the strong Japanese presence. |

Inconsistencies
In System Failure Mitsuhama states that after some deliberation they decided to relocate their North American headquarters to San Francisco. Since the decision is connected to the pullout from Tsimshian, this seems to imply that the headquarters was located in Tsimshian at that time. But according to New Seattle not only has it been in Seattle a few years before that (2060), it also remained there according to Runner Havens (2070). (sf p. 107 -- ns p. 92, rh p. 78)
