Tsutsujidai was revealed to be a cognitive space created by [[Akane Shinjo]] and [[Alexis Kerib]], though neither of them seems to exert any power over the city or its landmarks anymore after the intervention of several groups.

As best anyone can tell, Tsutsujidai is either another universe or a pocket dimension. It is genuinely difficult to tell which because try as people might, they can only assess the town itself when they go there; it is ringed by both water and thick fog, and efforts to leave via the trains out just lead back to normal reality or loop back into Tsutsujidai.
 
  
Going to Tsutsujidai by accident can happen from basically anywhere, but becomes markedly easier near the Kyushu Zone, taking the train toward Fujiyokidai, or -- curiously -- heading toward Junius Seven. Going to Tsutsujidai *on purpose* requires aiming at these areas, and is easiest at sunset.

== Why's It Weird? ==
 
Tsutsujidai doesn't have the same history as the rest of the world. To all appearances, no conflict after the One Year War has happened in Tsutsujidai. This also means it has virtually no shelters, no civil defense infrastructure, and only the thinnest pretense of hospitals that are mostly for routine checkups.
 
 
 
If you fight in Tsutsujidai: it fixes itself. If you are from the real world, you can see kaiju all over; they are utterly passive, do not do anything, and repair the place after every fight. (If you decide to try beating on one, please let Akane Shinjo know. They are her stuff!)
 
 
 
The higher your Awakening is, the more noticeable Tsutsujidai's preternatural stillness is. It's quiet to the point where the quiet is itself a noise. For Awakening 4+, the stillness is oppressive the way sitting in a perfectly quiet room with mild tinnitus is oppressive. This applies especially to the *people*; other than PCs and a handful of NPCs (which are handled, as of launch, entirely by played characters), no one broadcasts Anything.
 
 
 
Tsutsujidaians (as in NPCs that live in Tsutsujidai) have no particular opinions on the racial animus of the Earth Sphere. Distinctions of "Newtype," "Coordinator," "Zentradi," etc. have about as much cultural purchase as blood types -- they're fun to know and an entertaining novelty but not a thing anyone actively cares about.
 
 
 
It is always summer in Tsutsujidai, weather-wise; no one seems to remark on it.

Tsutsujidai is a semi-accurate recreation of the Fujiyokidai Ward of Nouvelle Tokyo, currently in an anomalous PLANT moved from the PLANTs to the Frontier Side. It contains many of the same individual landmarks as Fujiyokidai (and as Ogikubo in Tokyo proper, which served as a city planning model for Fujiyokidai itself), but in the wrong configurations.

Tsutsujidai was revealed to be a cognitive space created by Akane Shinjo and Alexis Kerib, though neither of them seems to exert any power over the city or its landmarks anymore after the intervention of several groups. Other than the need for NERV's Galeoria Pliers to keep the city in stable attachment to prime reality, it seems no different from any other city.

Tsutsujidai is currently admitted to the Oceania Cooperative Union as a refugee colony.
