In 1987 level 22 was a small independent micronation. By 1990 most entrances to level 22 had been closed by its inhabitants that called thenselves the Emstable. Even when they began negotiating trades with M.E.G and other groups by 2012 and 2015 very little is known about the faction's members, economy, political structure, etc. 2015 is the last mention we have of the Emstable.
It is believed that the community had a rigid caste system that divided its inhabitants between the floors. Those who were in the highest floors were rich and the more floors you went down the more life would be miserable and poor. A situation akin to movies like Snowpiercer or The Pit.
This was but a briefly intro.
The Emstable has fallen along with level 22. But why? When?
Theres a census report from 2010 that shows that everybody in floor 28 died. By that time floor 29 was already empty. Was that a purge of the population to save resources? Was that a new entity or the result of a failed revolution? Is taht why they started trading with the M.E.G and other groups just 2 years later? Just some questions to debate!
