Empire City (Archie)

Empire City is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a heavily populated economic hub on the continent Northamer, and a part of the United Federation. Within the city resides Casino Park, which is part of the Breeze Media and Honey Clothing, owned by Breezie the Hedgehog and Honey the Cat respectively.

History
During the Shattered World Crisis, Breezie the Hedgehog came into the possession of a Chaos Emerald and hosted the Chaos Emerald Championship for her media's own benefit, with the Chaos Emerald serving as the prize. This would attract the attention of numerous parties, including the Hooligans, the New Freedom Fighters, and individuals such as Knuckles the Echidna and Espio the Chameleon, which kicked off the tournament. Eventually, during the final round between Sonic and Knuckles, Metal Sonic invaded Casino Park and headed for the vault in an attempt to steal the Chaos Emerald, only to be intercepted and thwarted at the last moment by Tails.

The city would be seen again when Honey listened in on the New Freedom Fighters' plan to fix the world.
