Midgar is the capital city of the world of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. It is the most technologically advanced location ever constructed on the Planet. Built by the Shinra Electric Power Company, Midgar is home to the corporation's main headquarters, which dominates the city skyline. Thanks to its eight Mako Reactors, the city's massive power demands are easily met, but at a cost: the surrounding countryside has become a wasteland. Ruled with an iron fist by the police-state Shinra, and with its dark atmosphere, Midgar easily fits the vision of a dystopian future.
