Chicago-Under-The-Sea[1] (usually referred to as CUTS or Whaletown by terrestrials) is home to the largest population of cetaceans in North America, and has served as the cultural and financial capital of that race since shortly after the Inundation. As is the case with all underwater cities, reliable information is scant and what little we know of it comes primarily from Giller informants.
History
Demographics
| Race | Approximate number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Sperm whale | 400,000 | 47% |
| Humpback | 200,000 | 26% |
| Bottlenose dolphin | 90,000 | 11% |
| Short-finned pilot whale | 40,000 | 5% |
| Striped dolphin | 20,000 | 2% |
| Blue whale | 15,000 | 2% |
| Other whale | 50,000? | 6% |
| Other dolphin | 20,000? | 2% |
| Giller | 12,818 | 1.5% |
Figures should be regarded as rough estimates only.
In addition to the cetacean majority, the northern surfaceward side of the city is inhabited by a small (but rapidly growing) community of gillers, which are the subject of occasional clashes and continuous debate.
- ↑ The "sea" in question is actually the Gulf of Tonkin, the entire volume of which was swapped with Lake Michigan during the Batavia Excession.
