The City regime is the oppressive government of the City which monitors all communication, controls the media, and even has policies which include the outlawing of smoking and alcohol.

Background

Over time, the government slowly changed from a democracy to authoritarianism and totalitarianism. The City is now monitored by many security cameras and City Protection Force patrolling the City. Some citizens didn't mind the heightened security and restrictions to life, for it allowed them to live more "comfortable" lives. Others went against this, however, and began to protest against the new restrictive standards of living ushered in by the totalitarian regime, which eventually lead to the November Riots.

The Runners came into play soon after people began to realize that even the smallest amount of private information was watched by the government as it is passed from one thing to another. The Runners are not actually fighting this form of government, per se; they are simply going against it and allowing citizens of the City to have their own personal lives.
