Raccoon City is an archetypical industrialized midwestern American city. The economy of Raccoon City is largely dominated by the Umbrella Corporation. The corporation generously financed most of the city's projects, giving the company a positive image to the people of Raccoon City. Although 50% of the citizens are employed by the international corporation, most are unaware of the company's many illegal activities. The urban area is divided into several districts, including Uptown, Downtown and the more industrialized Health district. The suburbs lie to the south and west of the city center. The nearest town, east of Raccoon City, is named Stone-Ville, and is connected to the city by a train line. The main thoroughfares in the city include City Hall Street, Central Street, Raccoon Street, and Mission Street. Raccoon City is governed by Mayor Michael Warren, who was elected in 1987 and served in that position for eleven years. Warren is the engineer responsible for the establishment of the cable car transportation system and also made contributions to the city's electrical system. In his campaign to modernize the city, he made a deal with the Umbrella Corporation, which provided funding for several of Warren's projects, including public utilities, welfare work, and law enforcement. The campaign was known as the "A Bright 21st century for Raccoon City". Because of Warren's campaign, the town gradually transformed from a rural community to an industrialized city. However, the city's expansion and modernization was accompanied by rising crime rates and even terrorist activities. The Raccoon City Police Department (R.P.D.) established the S.T.A.R.S. in 1996 as a countermeasure to the crimewave. Due to Warren's cooperation with Umbrella, the company became a large part of the people's everyday lives. Many stores fronted for the corporation and its influences had a major say in the City Council, becoming the main leadership of the city with the mayor as a front man for its ambitions. The Arklay Mountains incident. A series of bizarre cannibal homicides occurred in the forests of the Arklay Mountains north of the city, beginning in May 1998 and continuing through the following months. Victims, usually hikers, picnickers or couples at romance spots appeared to have been mauled by dogs and partially eaten by humans or other unidentified creatures.
